WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LAUNDRY DETERGENT?

In a sea of different products on the market, many of us choose laundry detergent randomly – we go for what’s on sale, what smells nice, or has attractive packaging. However, choosing the right detergent (or liquid laundry soap) for your washing machine is much more important than it may initially seem.

When we buy a new washing machine, we carefully consider the design, price, programs, and energy efficiency… But do we pay the same attention to the detergent we use in it daily? Choosing the right laundry detergent is just as important as choosing the appliance itself – because it affects cleanliness, fabric longevity, the efficiency of your washing machine, and even skin health.

Read on to find out why this choice is key to clean clothes, a well-maintained washing machine, and healthy skin.

1. Clean laundry isn’t just about the smell – it’s about washing efficiency

The right detergent removes stains, eliminates unpleasant odors, and preserves the colors and texture of your clothes. If you’re using the wrong detergent – say, a general-purpose one for delicate fabrics or a detergent not strong enough for whites – you may end up with dull colors, leftover stains, or lingering odors even after washing.

Tips:

• Use a detergent specially formulated for bright whites when washing white clothes.
• Choose a bleach-free detergent to preserve the colors of colorful garments.
• For delicate fabrics (wool, silk), opt for specialized liquid detergents.

2. Protecting your washing machine – less limescale, better performance

The wrong detergent can cause limescale buildup and residue inside the machine, which affects its lifespan and efficiency. Some detergents create more foam than necessary, which makes rinsing harder and can even lead to malfunctions.

So make sure to choose:

✔ Detergents labeled as HE (High Efficiency) for machines that use less water.
✔ Quality brands with antibacterial properties and anti-limescale agents.

3. Skin health – especially important for children and sensitive individuals

Some detergent components can cause skin irritation, especially if not rinsed out properly. This is particularly important for babies and people with sensitive skin. For them, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and dye-free detergents are essential.

Additionally, with the Baby Care option offered by Tesla washing machines, baby clothes will be cleaner, the rinsing process more effective, and the results better for their skin.

4. Powder, liquid, or pods – which one is better?

• Powder: effective for stains and white clothes but can leave residue if not fully dissolved.
• Liquid detergent: great for quick washes and lower temperatures.
• Pods: convenient and pre-measured, but more expensive and less flexible in dosage.

Regardless of which form you choose, proper detergent dosing is key.

5. Eco-friendly detergents – fewer chemicals, more sustainability

Eco-friendly detergents are becoming increasingly popular, as they use biodegradable ingredients and come in recycled packaging. They’re gentler on fabrics and don’t pollute waterways.

Laundry detergent: A smart choice brings long-term benefits

Choosing the right detergent isn’t just about scent or price – it’s an investment in clean clothes, a long-lasting machine, and your family’s health. So choose wisely and choose proven.

BONUS TIPS:

• Tesla washing machines offer an additional advantage – automatic detergent dosing!
