It is not enough for the things a person wears to be fashionable or expensive. A stylish brand will not attract attention in the same way as banal staleness or old stains. Each company that produces detergents is in a hurry to convey to the buyer the information that their product is the “most” - effective, hypoallergenic, inexpensive. But it is impossible to understand this flow of information without an impartial assessment. Today we will discuss, based on real customer reviews, Sarma washing powder. So let's get started.

Characterizing the representative aspect of the powder "Sarma" customer reviews can be attributed to predominantly positive. When making a purchase of the described product for the first time, consumers note the following factors that attracted them:

• concise design and pleasant colors of packaging;

The choice of many buyers who preferred to buy Sarma powder from a huge assortment in the store is explained in the reviews by the similarity of the described characteristics and composition with the most expensive detergents with a huge difference in price.

Features of "Sarma" powder

"Sarma" discovers even before the start of washing. This is the absence of a pronounced synthetic smell.

The next uniqueness is the “5 enzymes” complex, which dissolves traces on clothes from coffee, vegetable and butter oils, chocolate, red wine, blood, berry juice and herbal stains without a trace. The presence of enzymes excludes the use of powder when washing woolen and silk products, but the ban does not apply to inorganic fabrics.

The absence of chlorine in the composition of the powder "Sarma" for white linen, according to customer reviews, is a decisive factor in the choice. Especially when it comes to the upcoming laundry for the kids. The antibacterial effect, which kills dust mites saprophytes and removes old pollution, is a strong argument why allergy sufferers or people with asthma often buy the powder.

Composition of "Sarma" powder

On the back of a pack of Sarma Active powder (reviews distinguish it from the line of other company products), you can read the list of substances that make up both the active and auxiliary components of the product:

• sulfates;
• carbonates;
• phosphates;
• anionic surfactants;
• nonionic surfactants;
• antifoam;
• phosphonates;
• oxygen bleach;
• silicates;
• antisorbents;
• polycarboxylates;
• enzymes;
• optical brighteners;
• perfume.

Active elementscalled: multi-enzyme complex, sodium perborate, oxygen bleach, optical brightener.

Understanding the mass of complex words without having the appropriate education is difficult, so you need to know what characteristic each component of the powder has and what determines its presence in the composition.

What each of the components is for

Any washing powder is based on basic surfactants, which are activated after dissolving them in water and form an external attribute that is familiar to every person who encounters washing - foam. The calling of foam is the sorption of mud particles and their removal from the fabric.

In the powder "Sarma", surfactants are presented in the form of anionic and nonionic elements:

• Anionic surfactants are aggressive elements that allow you to wash strong pollution. Their content in a good powder is within 5%, and the manufacturers of Sarma indicate this figure as acceptable for their powders.
• Nonionic surfactants are safe active substances. Their quantity in the powder is not indicated, which by default means from 30 to 40% of these elements.

Other important components of SMS "Sarma" are:

• Phosphates are universal water softeners that improve the quality of washing, but unlike zeolites (which are not found in Sarma powder), they can harm human he alth. Permissible quantity thresholdphosphates in SMS is considered to be 12%, and an independent examination regarding Sarma laundry detergents calls the figure from 5 to 15%, that is, even at the maximum value, the deviations are insignificant.
• An optical brightener that enhances the whiteness of fabrics with reflective particles.
• Sodium carbonate is the soda familiar to everyone. It does not harm the body and its content in powder is up to 15%.
• Antisorbents are important elements for the powder, which prevent dirt particles from settling on the washed fabric. Their content in the washing agent "Sarma" is more than 5%;
• Enzymes are special enzymes that fight organic pollution. Since the SMS "Sarma" stipulates a high content of these substances, it is impossible to wash silk and woolen products with this powder due to their organic origin. Enzymes are activated at t 40-50 °С;
• Defoamers are a necessary attribute of powders for an automatic machine, as strong foaming disables equipment.

In addition to positive reviews, washing powder "Sarma-automatic" sometimes collects dissatisfied feedback about the low washing effect and the remaining stains. In this situation, powder buyers are advised to pay attention to the efficiency class of the washing machine, since the same SMS, when used in models of different classes, will show different results.

How to choose a good powder without overpaying

Custom designed formulasynthetic detergent (SMC), this is the advantage of rare manufacturers, so 75% of the powders that are on sale are almost an exact copy of the standard base, interspersed with real or apparent improvements. Real improvements include the following qualities:

• the ability of the powder to wash things well in water with a temperature below 30 °;
• extension of the operating life of the washing machine;
• antibacterial effect;
• no strong smell and dustiness of the powder.

Insignificant or irrelevant improvements to wash quality include:

• high foaming powder;
• the ability to wash things at 400 (this should be the norm);
• improved packaging (if the improvements are not functional).

By the way, the reviews of those who note the absence of bright advertising moments on the packaging testify in favor of the described Sarma powder, allowing the consumer to independently evaluate the quality of washing, and all these features have official confirmation.

How to achieve optimal washing quality with Sarma powder

In order for the quality of washing to be perfect, and the result not to upset, you need to remember a few simple rules from experienced consumers:

• In the automatic machine, powders with the appropriate mark must be used, otherwise the equipment will fail due to increased foaming.
• During normal washing, do not turn on the mode more than 40 °S. In the case of powders containing enzymes, the temperature threshold should not exceed 50 °C.
• Temperature above 60 ° С is optimal only for white linen made from natural fabrics, and over 90 °С - for light bed linen.
• Strongly flavored powders are best avoided - even the most pleasant aroma that haunts you all day can cause headaches and irritation. Especially if it comes into conflict with perfume.

Printed or solid-dyed fabrics require a special approach and a special powder, which is also in the Sarma collection. It is difficult to argue with real buyers, but on some forums dedicated to the topic of washing, there are peculiar tips in the form of reviews. Powder "Sarma-automatic" for colored linen, for example, it is recommended to buy one that depicts clothes in yellow-green tones.
