it is not an acid because it doesn't mixed with the soloutions! <3
Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11
Washing up powder is typically alkaline, as it is designed to help break down grease and oils on dishes. This helps to effectively remove food residues and create a clean surface.
Washing powder used to have sodium phosphate in it. It's a fertilizer. It worked really well to fertilize seaweed, moss and all sorts of other aquatic plants that clog up water system intakes. I don't think it did anything for lawns, tho. Now washing powder has sodium carbonate in it and it would definitely be bad for your lawn.
Most washing up liquid is slightly alkaline, making it a base. This property helps to remove grease and grime effectively from dishes.
The pH of the solution become 11-12.

Things like washing up powder
Washing up liquid, is a main one. Also, washing up powder. Im not sure of any others.

If litmus paper is added to washing up powder, it would typically turn blue, indicating that the washing up powder is alkaline (basic). Most washing up powders contain sodium carbonate or other alkaline substances, which raise the pH and cause the blue color change in blue litmus paper. If red litmus paper is used, it would remain red, confirming the basic nature of the solution.
Sodium silicate helps to remove stains and dirt by binding to minerals in the water, while sodium sulfate is a filler and helps to bulk up the detergent. Together, they can enhance the cleaning power and effectiveness of the washing powder.
It contains enzymes that digest proteins etc. making up the stains in the clothes
Powder can't ruin your washer i dont think. But when you use powder, it doesnt always dissolve, and sometimes you will have white stuff on the clothes were the powder didnt dissolve? I dont know if that helped.

A catalyst in washing powder helps to speed up the cleaning process by enhancing the breaking down of stains and soils, allowing the detergent to work more efficiently. It helps to increase the effectiveness of the detergent in removing dirt and grime from clothes during the washing process.
