Have you ever wondered how laundry pods work?

Amy’s Laundry in Westminster has the answer!

Pods are those little pouches of concentrated detergent that you just toss into the washing machine with your clothes. It’s the perfect solution for those of us who don’t want to bother with measuring out detergent or dealing with the mess of spills.

They are also much easier to carry back and forth!

Laundry pods actually consist of three components: the detergent, a water-soluble casing, and a film that dissolves in water.

The detergent is a concentrated mixture of various cleaning agents that work together to break down and lift stains from your clothes.

The water-soluble casing holds the detergent and keeps it protected until it’s time for the wash. But as soon as it’s exposed to water, it dissolves and releases the detergent inside. And don’t worry, the casing is designed to dissolve quickly so it won’t leave any residue on your clothes.

Now, about that film. It dissolves in water due to the temperature and pressure inside the washing machine. As the water temperature rises and the pressure increases during the wash cycle, the film dissolves and releases the detergent. This then mixes with the water to form suds that help lift dirt and stains from your clothes.

The different types of cleaning agents in the detergent work together to break down various kinds of dirt and stains.

For example, surfactants do a great job breaking down oils and greases, while enzymes target specific types of stains like protein, starch, and lipid-based stains. And that’s it!

Laundry pods make doing laundry super easy and mess-free. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the package and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
