Practical reason why I'm still using Powder Detergent

This is actually the kind of comment that really triggers me a little bit. Hindi naman nasaktan ako na tinawag akong kuripot, pero dahil parang minsan ang bilis nating is-assume na mali yung ginagawa ng ibang tao. Kapag iba yung ginagawa natin, okay lang sa akin yun. Hindi ko naman ino-originate na ako lang yung tama. At the end of the day, iba-iba naman tayo ng priorities, ng budget, laundry habits, at experiences. But context is everything. So doon sa nag-comment na kuripot daw ako dahil powder detergent yung ginagamit ko sa automatic washing machine, let me give you some context. First of all, nagmukhang bago yung dati nangungutim, naninilaw and maraming mantsa. Secret? 24 hr soak. To achieve this: 3-4 tbsp Ariel Antibac, 3 tbsp Oxybleach, Soak for 24 hours. Ariel is actually one of the more premium detergents in the market. Halos doble yung presyo niya compared sa ibang brands. So, powder detergent man yan or liquid. My decision has never been about the price. Kasi para sa akin, price is only one consideration. If you know, you know. Ariel is actually one of the more premium detergents in the market.

If you know, you know. Now, the question is, bakit nga ba mas gusto ko pa rin 'tong powder detergent na 'to? My washing machine, my rose. But I'm gonna give you a much grounded perspective para naman maging open-minded tayo. So first reason is that if you've checked my previous videos, I've actually a strain my previous video of the powder detergent and makikita niyo doon sa video na halos walang talagang natitirang buo-buong particles. Isa kasi sa pinakamalaking misconception tungkol sa powder detergent ay 'yung mga 'choch fillers'. But that's further from the truth. Pangalawa, maayos ang maintenance ng washing machine ko. Regular na akong naglalagay ng kaunting citric acid sa rinse cycle. So, not only on making my clothes softer, but at the same time, naiwasan na magkaroon ng possibility ng mai-imbak na alkaline residue sa loob ng washing machine ko. Pero the biggest reason talaga kung bakit ko gusto 'tong powder detergent na 'to, it's because of the ingredients. This detergent contains four enzymes and many cleaning ingredients that are designed to make the laundry easier. When I've learned how enzymes work, then realized na hindi pala kailangan talaga na laging kuskos-kuskos 'yung mga stain. Kapag organic stain 'yan like food, pawis, dugo or body oils, enzymes can actually break down these stain molecules themselves. So, I'm a believer na sa soaking process because I'd rather let chemistry do the work than do all the work myself. Because at the end of the day, laundry is chemistry. The goal is to let the ingredients work for you. Now, if we compare it to the Ariel Power Liquid, that I also have, mapapansin natin na dalawang enzymes lang 'yung laman ng liquid detergent. They only contain protease and amylase. Hindi rin siya may kasamang sodium percarbonate and other cleaning ingredients na talagang designed para mas mapadali yung paglalaban natin. And actually, there's a practical reason for that. Liquid detergents already contain water. Some ingredients, especially enzymes, become less stable when they're in a water-based formula for long periods. So, sodium percarbonate, for example, activates in the presence of water. So, kung ilalagay mo na siya sa liquid detergent, mawawala rin yung effectiveness niya habang nag-i-imbak siya sa bottle. So, I choose this powder detergent not because it's cheaper, but because my laundry needs, it simply works better. And honestly, those ingredients have made laundry so much easier for me. Kapag may stain ako na mahirap tanggalin, hindi ko na agad kinukuskos. Binababad ko lang. A few hours later, tanggal na. No extra scrubbing. No extra effort. And for me, the time and effort I save are worth far more than the difference in the price. So, sana, before we call someone kuripot, mali or outdated, we remember that we only see one small part of their process. We don't always see the research behind it, we don't always know the reason why they made the choice. So, yes, powder detergent pa rin yung mas ginagamit ko, not because it's cheaper, but because my laundry needs, it simply works better.
