No, you cannot use bar soap in place of powdered soap when washing clothes - unless you are washing by hand.

Powdered and liquid soaps are designed to disperse quickly into the wash water, bar soaps will not do that. After the washing process, bar soap may remain as a bar (although a bit smaller) and then the rinse steps will not be effective at removing residual soap.

Why is pepsin a bad enzyme in washing powder?

Pepsin is a bad enzyme in washing powder because it can break down and damage fabrics, leading to the deterioration of clothing. In addition, pepsin is not effective in removing stains or dirt from clothes as it is specifically designed to digest proteins in the stomach rather than act as a cleaning agent.


Why is it that in the presence of protease and lipase would make the washing powder more effective than ordinary detergent?

Protease and lipase are enzymes that help break down proteins and fats, which are common components of stains on clothes. By including protease and lipase in washing powder, it can more effectively break down and remove these types of stains compared to ordinary detergent that may not contain these enzymes. This makes the washing powder more efficient at removing a wider range of stains.


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.

Why would washing powder of high pH or low pH be harder to handle?

Washing powder with high pH (alkaline) can be irritating to the skin or eyes and may cause burns, while washing powder with low pH (acidic) can be corrosive and damage surfaces it comes in contact with. Both high and low pH washing powders require careful handling to avoid potential health and safety risks.


Does washing powder help your lawn?

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.

Do you need to use washing powder or would a hot water wash do the trick?

If you want to remove grease from your dirty thing (clothes, skin and dishes all generally get grease on them) then you should use some form of detergent like washing powder. If you only want to kill bacteria then a hot wash might do.

If litmus was added to washing up powder what colour would it change to?

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.
