The difference between dishwasher capsules and dishwashing powder is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, form and packaging
1. Dishwasher capsules:
– Form: Usually a solid lump with a candy-like appearance, some containing a ball or similar shaped substance (powerball) in the middle, which is used to soak and soften stubborn food residues more effectively.
– Packaging: The capsule is wrapped with a water-soluble transparent film, which can be used without tearing and put directly into the dishwasher.
2. Dishwashing powder:
– Form: Generally white powder particles, may be mixed with other color powder particles.
– Packaging: usually in bags or cans, the user needs to measure and add according to the washing demand and the number of tableware.
Second, composition and function
1. Dishwasher capsules:
– In addition to the basic detergent ingredients, it may also contain the functions of water softening salts and brighteners, suitable for water of soft or medium hardness.
– Versatility makes it possible to clean utensils even more cleanly.
2. Dishwashing powder:
– The main ingredient is detergent, the effect is relatively single, focusing on washing tableware.
– Does not contain water softening salts and brightener, additional addition is required (if the water is hard).
Third, ease of use
1. Dishwasher capsules:
– Very easy to use, only one capsule at a time, no measurement required.
– For users who are not good at controlling the amount of detergent, the use of capsules is more relaxed.
2. Dishwashing powder:
– The user needs to measure the addition according to the number of tableware and the degree of dirt, which is relatively troublesome.
– But its advantage is that the dosage can be freely controlled, more flexible.
Fourth, cost and environmental protection
1. Dishwasher capsules:
– Due to its versatility and convenience, the unit price is usually slightly higher than dishwashing powder.
– The packaging may be more beautiful, but it may also mean more wasted resources (depending on whether degradable materials are used).
2. Dishwashing powder:
– The cost is usually lower because the user can precisely control the dosage according to the demand.
– The form of packaging in bags or cans is relatively simple and may be more environmentally friendly (depending on the specific packaging material).
In summary, there are obvious differences between dishwasher capsules and dishwashing powders in terms of form and packaging, composition and function, ease of use, cost and environmental protection. Users can choose suitable products according to their actual needs and budgets.
