Doing laundry is a regular part of life, but choosing the right detergent can be tricky. This guide will help you pick the right laundry detergent to keep your clothes clean, fresh, and long-lasting.

Types of Laundry Detergents

Liquid detergents

This type of detergent dissolves quickly in water, works well in both hot and cold washes, and is great for pre-treating stains, which means you apply a small amount of this detergent directly onto a stain before putting the item in the washing machine.

Powder detergents

This type of detergent is effective in removing dirt and stains, works best in warm or hot water, and is usually more affordable than liquid detergents.

Detergent pods or capsules

This type of detergent is pre-measured and easy to use, no messy spills, and is the most expensive type compared to liquid or powder detergents.

The Best Laundry Detergents for Different Needs

With so many options available, choosing the right laundry detergent when shopping at Lotus’s Malaysia depends on your specific needs. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:

For Tough Stain Removal

If you’re dealing with oil, grease, or food stains, choose a powerful detergent with stain-fighting enzymes. These high-performance formulas are specifically designed to break down dirt and tackle stubborn stains more effectively.

For Bright and Fresh-Smelling Clothes

Want your clothes to smell fresh throughout the day? Fragrance-infused detergents help keep your laundry smelling great all day. Most brands have a variety of floral and fruity scents that you can choose from.

For Sensitive Skin

If you or your family members are prone to skin allergies or sensitivities, opt for a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic detergent. Many brands have detergents formulated to minimise irritation while keeping clothes feeling soft.

For Delicate Fabrics

Everyday clothes made from cotton and polyester can be washed with regular detergents, but for delicate fabrics like silk and wool, it's best to use gentle detergents. Some brands even offer laundry soaps specially formulated for delicate materials.

For Value in Every Wash

Just because something is affordable doesn’t mean you have to give up on quality. Some affordable options, like Lotus’s Brand Detergents, deliver powerful cleaning and keep your clothes fresh and spotless.

For Eco-Friendly Cleaning

If you’re looking for a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice, consider detergents that are biodegradable and phosphate-free. Some liquid detergents now come in recyclable packaging and use plant-based ingredients for a greener alternative.
