Now the reader will get acquainted with what any modern washing powder is. We will pay special attention to the Pemos detergent. This powder will be under our close attention.
Detergent release
Giant volumes of detergents are produced in the country: approximately a million tons. Of these, only 20% is used for hand washing. All the rest is for the machine method. Pemos (powder) occupies a significant market share, about 35%. In Russia, it is produced by the German company Henkel, which focuses not on GOST, but on TU.
What is the most dangerous
All detergents include phosphates and surfactants (surfactants). They often cause allergies, destroy immunity, adversely affect skin cells. The worst thing is that they tend to accumulate in the internal organs: in the liver, kidneys, lungs. The nervous system also suffers when in contact with powders.
Phosphates are not destroyed, and after washing they pass into the environment or are retained in the fibers of the fabric. They are poorly washed during rinsing and retain surfactants in it. Through washed clothing surfactants penetrate through the skin into the blood of a person, causing changes in it. Children are especially sensitive to them.
Recommendations
Russian experts advise rinsing clothes several times . The powder should always be kept closed, in no case should it be inhaled, since lung alveoli are affected.
Is foam good or bad?
The more surfactants are contained, the more foam is formed. If you overdose and put more powder into the machine than is required by the instructions, then this is bad. Foam can spill onto the floor and not rinse with all the effort. Pemos washing powder forms a normal amount of foam. Perhaps this is his only advantage. But first things first.
For analysis, three types of Pemos washing powder are presented:
- "Oxygen crystals."
- "Children's."
- "Active foam."
Consider these detergents.
Powder "Pemos machine oxygen crystals"
It is produced by Henkel-Rus LLC according to TU 2381-034-04643752 LLC. This universal remedy is intended for all types of fabrics. However, they should not be mixed during washing, but they should be selected for wool, etc. The temperature regime will depend on the labels on the clothes. It will be correct to wash light and dark things separately. Powder Pemos Automatic contains substances that soften water. The limescale does not threaten the car.
The composition includes 5-15% of anionic surfactants, which, getting into the water, draw in dirt particles, and 5% of non-ionic surfactants, which continue active work on cleaning in hard water. The first types of surfactants can cause allergies and other unwanted reactions of the body. No wonder the package says: Keep away from children, and people with sensitive skin should avoid prolonged contact with the powder.
According to Russian experts, its advantages include low price, good rinsing when rinsing, pleasant smell. The disadvantage is that a large amount of powder is required during washing.
In addition, examination showed its high toxicity (29%). When using it is impossible to inhale the powder, touch it with your hands, close the container with it tightly. "Pemos" (powder) "Oxygen crystals" requires at least three rinses, only then surfactants are rinsed out optimally and will not cause harm to health.
When checking hard-to-remove stains from red wine and lipstick were removed without difficulty, and stains from meat dishes with soy sauce and chocolate were poorly cleaned. So the advertising name “Crystal purity” at “Pemos” does not guarantee it.
"Pemos children"
It is designed for soaking and washing, both hand and machine. The manufacturer claims that "Pemos" (powder) "Children's" is made on the basis of natural soaps. Dermatological testing confirmed the absence of allergens and irritants. However, it should be protected from children. It gives the linen freshness and a unique aroma. It is produced by Henkel Rus LLC in Perm in accordance with TU 2381-032-04643752-99.
According to experts, its toxicity index is extremely high at 31%.
Also, much remains after rinsing harmful surfactants. Conclusion: it can not be used to wash children's clothes, despite the fact that in terms of quality of washing it is in third place among 6 powders that passed the test.
Handwash
Packed in cardboard boxes weighing 0.35 kg "Pemos". Powder "Active Foam" 3 in 1 is designed for hand washing. Advertising promises that it retains the shape of things after frequent washes and the brightness of colors, prevents spools.
After all of the above, you will think about whether you can lower your hands in a soapy solution. The manufacturer insists that it is designed for delicate hand washing, and the composition contains natural soap extracts. Its safety is confirmed by international certificates, which is hardly believed.
Laundry detergent: hazard rating
The first place is occupied by “Pemos Children's” - the maximum degree of danger. Do not lag behind him, "Eared Nanny", "Stork", "Persil Expert Sensitive", "Doshenka", "Tide Children". All of these powders are not recommended for purchase. Our washing powder does not even include a safety rating . It can not be attributed to the best, the first of which is considered to be “Sarma”.
