foto25192-1The assortment of detergents, presented in any major hardware store, necessarily includes several varieties of Dosya powders and gels.

This brand has gained popularity due to several significant advantages. In parallel with the pros, consumers find disadvantages. This is reflected in reviews and comments.

When comparing different products of the Dosia line with each other and with other analogues, it is easy to choose the best option for yourself.

About the manufacturer of washing powder

foto25192-2The Dosia brand belongs to the large European company Reckitt Benckiser, which was formed by the merger in 1999 of German-Dutch and British firms. The history of the concern began at the beginning of the 19th century.

The first products were related to the food industry. The company currently specializes in the production of household goods, laundry, cleaning and personal care products.

The manufacturer is known on the market for such well-known brands as:

  • Calgon,
  • Cillit Bang,
  • Clearasil,
  • Vanish,
  • Veet.

In 1994, the first Russian office of the company was opened in St. Petersburg, and in 2005 a plant for the production of household chemicals for the Russian consumer was launched in the city of Klin near Moscow.

Pros and cons

During the entire period of production, Dosya powders underwent multiple laboratory tests. Their capabilities were also assessed privately at home.

Each package has a corporate logo in the form of a piggy bank, which tacitly suggests that buying a Dosia product is an economical and wise investment of money.

The advantages of Dosya brand detergents include:

  1. foto25192-3Good wash result.
  2. Removing light stains.
  3. Excellent rinsing properties.
  4. Hypoallergenic.
  5. Budgetary cost.
  6. A wide range of products.

Most Dosia powders have an unobtrusive scent. This is an additional advantage, as the strong aromatization of the laundry is often noted as a disadvantage.

Negative features of Dosya powders:

  1. Creates a large amount of foam during machine wash.
  2. Poor hatching of old and stubborn stains.
  3. Inability to use most of the detergents for children's washing.
  4. High consumption compared to economical counterparts.

Composition

Each Dosya laundry detergent has its own formula. In most cases, the following substances are included in the composition:

  • anionic surfactants (APAS);
  • nonionic surfactants (NSAS);
  • oxygen bleach;
  • optical brightener;
  • enzymes;
  • zeolites;
  • carboxymethyl cellulose;
  • antifoam;
  • flavors;
  • polycarboxylates.

In some varieties, the manufacturer uses components that soften water, anti-corrosion agents.

Analyzing the chemical composition, it can be noted that phosphates, which are unsafe for health and the environment, have been replaced in Doss' powders with zeolites. These substances contribute to high-quality washing of dirt, but dissolve worse in water.

Shelf life

foto25192-4The time period during which the detergent retains its properties is always indicated on the package. For Dosia powders it is 2 years.

This figure is influenced by the amount of dietary supplements, storage conditions (humidity, temperature, sunlight, contact with other agents).

To maintain physical and chemical activity, any granular product must be stored in a closed container. The quality of expired household chemicals deteriorates and allergenicity increases.
