Laundry detergent, not just any laundry detergent, but chinese laundry detergent inconvenient sheet form and when you put your clothes in the wash machine, you think simply stick one of these sheets in and put it through a cycle, and that is it. It's very interesting. The box itself. Basically says laundry sheets and it's all the rest of the text is basically just the stuff you'd expect to find in laundry laundry packets, just saying you know, cleans bets and all the other brands and stuff like that.

It does, however, have the ingredients listed here and we'll take a look at the ingredients, but let's take a look at the stuff first, it's also worth mentioning that for light stains one sheet more: it stains two sheets, three serious stains, three sheets: it does the usual Thing i'm going to put one in water afterwards and we can take a look at what happens so inside the packet. Is this tray and there's a few missing out of it? It contains up to 90 sheets, i've been using a few of them. I've been testing. This in the washing machine - and i can tell you that they do dissolve and they do go foamy when you dissolve them and the ingredients are mostly surfactant, so i suppose they'll kind of work and it's hard to say without being a laundry aficionado.

However, the sheets themselves are spongy: they have a slight laundry detergent smell. That's a chemical aroma of fresh laundry that gets put out, let's bring in the ingredient list, ingredients ethoxylated, sodium, alkyl sulfate. That is a common surfactant used to bond on between water and oil, and it's the basically it's create. What creates the bubbles it's? What they've used in soap and shampoo, coconut oil, fatty acid that could relate to many many uh sort of fatty acid use for making soaps the diglycolic acid ammonium.

Keep in mind that the chinese may actually swap the uh position the words about here. So what i can come up with that it's used for removing lime, scale and stuff like that. That might be its function here. It might be part of the cleating agent glycerin, which is a common humectant, absorbs moisture, keeps things soft and it's an emulsifier too.

I think antioxidants is what i can come up with for dibutyl hydroxytoluene. You guys will know more than me, probably in these areas that particularly the scientists, there's diaminoa diaminoethylene tetraacetate. I think that's basically a version of edta. It's a collating agent designed to remove well it's designed to remove calcium and things like that and dissolve it, an anion except surfactant, which is the detergents the stuff you'd find for creating the bubbles and a carouside.

It's got actually a mate killing agent, a mild insecticide. So right, the next part of this video is for me to get a bowl and to actually dissolve one of these in it and see just how frothy it gets. One moment please here is a bowl of warm water. Here's a laundry sheet place a laundry sheet into the water, and i shall give it a slight agitation, as would happen in the laundry equipment immediately breaks up into little fluffy particles, uh, which dissolve further with the movement and the water, is definitely getting slippery and forming Bubbles, so it does appear to be acting as a certain soapy surfactant.

I'm not sure how effective it's going to be, though, as i say you could, i might as well put my clothes in a washing machine and just ordinary water. I wouldn't know if the you know, unless it was a specific stain removed in some way, but it certainly feels slightly soapy and it is creating those bubbles. So there is definitely a surfactant effect going on there uh so not being, as i say, a laundry expert. I couldn't tell you if this is going to be a great detergent or not, but i've been using it, and you know i'm happy enough with what it's doing so i could just be sticking rice paper in the washing machine for all.

I know i don't know this would require scientific analysis either way it does work and uh. They also say you can use it for hand washing just as i've diluted it in some water here, keep in mind that washing machines use very little water, modern ones. The the front loader machines, i'm guessing the chinese machines - might be very similar to the european ones that they use very little water. The reason they use very little water is because initially when they fill up the washing machine, it only it tumbles the washing in the drum and adds keeps adding little bursts of water until no more water gets absorbed.

And then it knows that the clothing is fully saturated. That does two things. It means the detergent is at its maximum strength and also it increases the friction between the clothes actually moving the drum because they are basically just rubbing against each other, not just bobbing about. In the water then later on the cycle, the machine uses a lot more water, but that's where this might be an advantage because uh it will maximize the strength of this stuff.

So there we have it. It's very odd. I have to say the reason i bought this and looked for it in the first place is because i saw an advert of a westernized version and i thought that just looks so much like a chinese product. That's been rebadged, so i went online and looked for it, and this is what i found it turns out.

It is a rebadged chinese product, so i shall provide some keywords in the description, so you can find this for yourself. If you want to experimentally play about with it, i'm even just provide a link to this supplier, but there we go um solid sheet, laundry detergent. It's an interesting and non-messy thing.
