“Powder is the wisest choice when dealing with very dirty things. Powdered detergents typically have a high pH, which helps them clean work clothes and sports uniforms, says Mary Gagliardi, a cleaning expert and in-house scientist for a home cleaning company. She also notes that the powder is best suited for people looking for more environmentally friendly packaging, as it can be purchased in cardboard packages.

Do you wash your clothes in cold water? Then gel is your choice, as it does not need high temperature to dissolve. Plus, says Gagliardi, this type of detergent is great for removing oil and grease stains, and if they appear often on your clothes, use a gel to treat them.
Capsules and tablets
benefits
- There’s no need to measure: just toss it in the washing machine.
- Compact option: no heavy bottles or boxes that are difficult to move.
Disadvantages
- Typically the most expensive laundry detergent.
- You cannot dose it – even if there is not enough substance, you will have to put the whole capsule.
- Do not use to pretreat stains on clothing.
