There are still some misunderstandings when people use laundry beads in daily life. The following editor will give you a few points:

Misunderstanding 1: Is the greater the amount of laundry beads, the cleaner the clothes will be washed?

　　 The packaging of laundry gel beads sold now is printed with the amount of organic washing and hand washing. When washing, you should add an appropriate amount of detergent according to the standard. When the amount of detergent exceeds the standard, the excess detergent will not only not increase the detergency, but will easily remain on the clothes, which is not easy to clean, and will also irritate the skin. If the detergent contains bleaching effect, excessive use will cause the clothes to fade and damage.

　　 Misunderstanding 2: Does hot water wash clothes clean?

　　 The water temperature for washing clothes is not as high as possible. Since we commonly use various types of enzyme-containing laundry gel beads, the main enzyme preparations are alkaline protease and alkaline lipase. Alkaline protease is used to differentiate protein stains, such as sweat stains, blood stains, etc.; alkaline lipase acts on fatty acid and its ester stains, which is what we usually refer to as oil stains. The activity of the two enzymes is related to temperature, and approximately 40°C is more appropriate. Too high or low temperature will affect enzyme activity.

　　Secondly, protein has a denaturing effect. Its notable feature is protein coagulation, and its fluidity is significantly reduced. An example is the coagulation of eggs after being cooked. One of the causes of denaturation is high temperature. The same is true for protein stains on clothing. Therefore, if the water temperature is too high during washing, they will denature and agglomerate on the fabric fibers, making it more difficult to wash.
