Washing capsules - What are they and what are they used for?

Washing clothes may seem like a simple chore, but the choice of detergent plays an important role in getting a clean and fresh result. One product that has become increasingly popular is washing capsules. But what are washing capsules, and how do you use them properly? In this post, we'll cover everything you need to know about these clever little tools.

What are washing capsules?

Washing capsules are packaged doses of liquid detergent, often enclosed in a biodegradable film. They are designed to make the laundry process easier by eliminating the need to measure out detergent manually. Each capsule contains the perfect dose of detergent for a washing machine, making it both convenient and time-saving.

Advantages of washing capsules

Laundry capsules have many advantages over traditional powder or liquid detergents:

  • Easy to use: No need to dose manually.
  • Exact doses: You always use the right amount of detergent, which is good for both clothes and the environment.
  • Compact and easy to store: Washing capsules take up less space than large bottles or cartons of detergent.

How to use washing capsules?

To get the best results from washing capsules, it is important to use them correctly. Many people wonder: Where to put detergent when using washing capsules? Here is a simple guide:

  1. Put the capsule in the washing machine first.
    Place the washing capsule at the bottom of the washing machine drum, before loading the clothes. This will allow the capsule to dissolve properly during the wash cycle.
  2. Put the clothes in.
    After placing the capsule in the drum, fill with clothes according to the capacity of the machine.
  3. Start the machine.
    Select the correct wash programme and start the machine. The washing capsule will dissolve completely and release the detergent in due time.

Note! Never place detergent capsules in the detergent compartment - they are designed to dissolve directly in the drum.
