What is it?
Laundry detergent powder is a dry laundry-cleaning product. Formula, washer suitability, wash method and dose all come from the original label.
How to identify it
Accept only intact original packaging clearly labelled laundry powder or powder laundry detergent. Do not guess from white granules, fragrance or appearance.
Common confusion
Compare
Liquid Laundry Detergent
- Original label states laundry cleaning use
- Label gives dose and washing method
- Different from fabric softener and bleach
How to identify it
Laundry powder is dry powder; liquid laundry detergent is liquid. Formula, dose and machine suitability remain label-led for both.
Common Hong Kong household uses
Wash permitted fabrics using the labelled laundry programme and dose.
Use & label checks
Read the complete original label first. If an SDS is supplied or available from the supplier or manufacturer, consult it as supplementary safety information. Follow only the labelled fabric, wash method, dose and protection directions, avoid raising dust, and never improvise mixtures.
Safe storage
Keep closed and upright in its original labelled container, away from food, heat, children and pets. Never transfer it to a food or drink container.
What Ma’am or Sir may say
用之前先睇原裝標籤；如果有附上或者搵到安全資料表，亦要睇埋。開窗，唔好同任何清潔劑溝埋。The employer makes the original label primary; an SDS is also checked when supplied or otherwise available. Dust is avoided and products are never mixed without exact label directions.
Useful market phrase
唔該要一件洗衣粉，要完整、無破損同無品牌限制。Meaning: One Laundry Detergent Powder, complete and undamaged, with no brand preference, please.
