The difference between dishwasher capsules and dishwashing powder is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Form and convenience:
– Dishwasher capsules are pre-metered individual packages, usually in solid blocks or capsules, and only need to be put into one capsule when using, which is very convenient and easy to control the dosage.
– Dishwashing powder usually exists in powder form, and the added amount needs to be measured according to the number of tableware and the degree of dirt when used, and the operation is relatively complicated.
2. Dissolution and residue:
– Dishwasher capsules can be quickly dissolved after exposure to water and are not easily retained due to the use of special water-soluble film packaging.
– If the quantity of dishwashing powder is not well controlled, it may cause slight residue, especially if the quantity is too much or the water quality of the dishwasher is hard.
3. Ingredients and effects:
– Dishwasher capsules and dishwashing powder have similar basic washing ingredients, both containing surfactants, alkaline additives, enzyme preparations, etc., so they are comparable in terms of basic washing effect.
– Some brands of dishwasher capsules may add special ingredients, such as brightener, powerball, etc., to enhance the washing effect and the brightness of the dishes.
4. Dust problems during use:
– When using dishwashing powder, there may be a slight dust flying if handled carelessly, while dishwasher capsules do not have this problem.
5. Price and cost:
– Under normal circumstances, the price of dishwasher capsules will be slightly higher than that of dishwashing powder with the same washing effect due to the production process and packaging cost.
To sum up, there are some differences between dishwasher capsules and dishwashing powders in terms of convenience, solubility, composition effects, dust problems during use, and price costs. Consumers can make trade-offs based on personal habits, budgets and specific needs for washing effects when choosing.
