Powder Detergent

Powder detergent is a laundry detergent in granular form, used to wash clothes, towels and bed linen. It is commonly added to the drawer of an automatic washing machine, or dissolved in water for hand washing and for soaking clothes before a wash. The amount needed usually depends on the size of the load, how soiled the laundry is and the hardness of the water, so it helps to follow the usual guidance for the type of machine you use. At Dekenet Al Nes, a package-free grocery store in Baaqline in the Chouf, powder detergent is sold loose by the kilogram. Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers, such as a clean, dry jar or tub with a lid, and refill only what they need, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging.
