1) Some people are allergic to the enzymes if they are left on the clothes.

2) You need a better washing machine (expensive) to make sure all the enzymes are removed.

3) 40 degrees is the max. temperature it can work at or the enzymes become denatured and can't work.

4) Can't be used to wash clothes by hand.

The main advantages of using non - biological washing powder is that they are safe to use on sensitive skin and that they are cheaper to buy and you can use them on any washing machine ( with biological you have to buy a specially designed washing machine and these are much more expensive).

The main disadvantages are the they need to be used at much higher temperature to be effective, which are costly and cause problems to the environment (fossil fuels ect.) and that they aren't as effective and take longer to get stains out!

Washing powder acid or alkaline?

if you mean biological powder, then no, no, no, NO! acid is never used in washing powder, it would damage your clothes. No, they use enzymes, which are biological catalysts. these are more effective than non-bio, but far worse for your clothes.However i see you put Pool care and cleaning in your subjects. you were probably looking for pool cleaner which is a compound of Chlorine and Potassium to make a soluble salt, very clean and very useful

How do you remove blood stain in clothes?

Since blood is made up of protein, the most effective way would be to use a biological washing powder. Biological washing powder contains protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein. The optimum temperature would be around 30 degrees Celsius. However, even then, blood stains are very difficult to get out.
