Dosya powder is an inexpensive and effective detergent. It copes well with little pollution. Several types of this product are available, which are designed for different types of washing. In some cases, the powder removes spots no worse than expensive imported compounds.
Classic Powder Composition
To understand how effective and safe the detergent is, you need to study its composition. Dosya powder contains the following substances:
- zeolites;
- nonionic surfactants (surfactants);
- sulfates.
The last two substances provide detergent activity of the product. Unlike most domestic powders, Dosya does not contain phosphates, but zeolites. These minerals are more harmless, but poorly washed out of the tissues. Therefore, things washed by "Dosey" must be subjected to prolonged rinsing in a large amount of warm water.
In addition to these substances, different types of powder may contain bleach, antifoam, enzymes and flavorings. Studies have shown the effectiveness of the detergent. Dosya successfully removes stains from wine and fresh grass. However, this requires a fairly large amount of funds.
It must be remembered that this powder is not intended for washing children's clothes. Zeolites and other surfactants can cause allergies in a child. But it is quite possible to process things for adults with Dosya washing powder. Unlike many other means, it does not leave a smell and removes stains well.
Hand and Machine Wash
2 varieties of the product are available. One of them is intended for washing by hands or in non-automatic activating machines. Such processing of linen allows the formation of a large amount of foam, so the product does not contain antifoam. Currently, the most common powder is "Dosya machine" for automatic washing machines. It includes antifoam. However, the reviews of the hostesses indicate that a lot of foam is formed during automatic washing. However, the foam mass does not extend beyond the powder compartment and the machine drum. Universal products for hand and machine wash are also produced.
In recent years, Dosya washing gel has been produced. This is a universal tool that is suitable for both automatic and manual processing of things. Judging by the reviews of housewives, this tool is convenient and economical. The effect of using 1 pack of gel is equal to the effect of 2 kg of powder. The product does not leave streaks, but it has a rather strong odor. Gel can not wash synthetics, wool and silk.
Means "Color"
The chemical composition of the powder "Dosya Color" allows you to wash colored clothes. It does not contain bleach and does not affect the color of the fabric. Things remain bright, do not fade and do not change color. The formula of the asset "Active 3" contains 3 stain-removing ingredients. They penetrate into the fibers of the fabric and destroy dirt, while not affecting the color.
At present, the Dosya Color universal powder is produced, which is designed both for hand washing and for machines of any type, including automatic ones. The tool with the formula "Active Oxygen" contains anti-corrosion ingredients that provide good fiber preservation during washing and at the same time actively act on stains.
The product is not intended for the processing of things from delicate fabrics. Silk and wool should not be washed with this preparation.
Alpine Freshness Powder
Laundry detergent "Dosya Alpine freshness" is intended for the processing of white and colored linen in automatic and activating machines. It contains bleach.
When washing with this product, do not mix colored and white things in the drum of the machine. This can lead to dyeing of linen and clothing in light colors. Such things need to be washed separately. Powder can cope with severe pollution. However, for old spots, it is better to turn on the boiling mode (at +100 degrees) or use pre-soaking with bleach.
Means "White Snow"
This product is intended for washing only white laundry. The powder contains granules of a bluish color, it is a bleach that gives the clothes a fresh look after processing. Things of white color do not get an unpleasant yellow tint after washing.
However, judging by the reviews of Dosya White Snow powder, this remedy is ineffective against strong pollution. It will help to give whiteness to linen that has lost its original freshness. But if there are old, stubborn stains on the fabric, then this tool is unlikely to be able to cope with them.
Lemon Flavor Powder
The product contains a fragrance with the smell of lemon. This gives a pleasant aroma to clothes after washing. Powder with lemon flavor is universal, it is suitable for both manual and machine processing of things.
However, not all housewives are satisfied with the quality of this product. Despite the formula "Active 3", the powder can fight far from any spots. It is more suitable for washing moderately dirty laundry. Reviews of the washing powder "Dosya Lemon" indicate that in case of serious impurities this product only brightens them, but does not completely remove them. To get rid of stains, one powder is not enough and you have to use bleaches in addition.
The pleasant citrus smell of the laundry does not last long after washing. To keep the aroma for a longer time, it is necessary to use conditioners and rinse aids.

Analyzing the reviews of housewives about the powder, the following advantages of this detergent can be distinguished:
