This technology ensures precise dosages of detergent and special additives, which can help to increase washing efficiency and save time.

Advantages of laundry detergent capsules

Detergent capsules are convenient because they have a measured, specific amount of detergent. With just one capsule, you can easily add the right amount of detergent to each load of laundry without having to measure it out.

  • Efficiency

The concentrated formula of the detergent capsules ensures high efficiency in removing stains and dirt from clothes. The capsules dissolve quickly and thoroughly, leaving your laundry clean and smelling fresh.

  • Variety

Laundry detergent capsules often come in different types, such as those with added stain removers or those designed for sensitive skin. This allows you to choose a capsule that meets specific laundry needs.
