Powder or liquid detergent?

Powder is cheaper per wash and more effective on heavily soiled laundry, and it also keeps better in humid climates. Liquid dissolves better in cold water and suits greasy stains and delicate fabrics.

How much powder detergent per wash?

Roughly 100 to 150 g for a 5 kg load of normally soiled laundry. Overdosing does not clean better: it leaves residue in the fabric and stiffens the laundry.

How do you stop powder detergent from clumping?

Reseal the bag tightly and store it raised, never directly on the floor. Clumped powder is still usable but dissolves poorly and settles at the bottom of the drum.

Powder detergent, soaps and cleaning products

Powder detergent dominates this aisle for a practical reason: it keeps better than liquid in a hot, humid climate, and its cost per wash stays lower.

Powder is also more effective on heavily soiled laundry and mineral stains, whereas liquid does better on grease and at low temperatures. For hand washing, common in the Comoros, powder dissolved in hot water remains the most economical choice.

The aisle also covers household and toilet soaps, bleach and multi-purpose cleaners, available in family formats and bulk sacks.
