Manufacturer of detergents Frosch
The German company Werner & Mertz, which produces a series of household cleaning products under the Frosch brand, has established itself as a supporter of a humane attitude towards the environment.
The company's credo is the use of exclusively natural ingredients in products, which quickly decompose in nature and do not harm human health. Even the plastic used to make the bottles is recycled.
The first batches of Werner & Mertz products entered the market in 1986. The company is considered a pioneer in the production of environmentally friendly products intended for washing, cleaning, and hygiene.
In addition to powders and washing gels The Frosch collection includes:
- air fresheners,
- liquid hand soap,
- dishwashing detergents,
- house cleaning,
- cleaning plumbing.
Advantages and disadvantages
The Frosh brand has occupied a stable niche among household chemicals thanks to its many advantages. They relate to the formulation of the products produced, the effectiveness of use, organoleptic properties, and ease of use.
The advantages of the manufacturer include:
high degree of purification, which is provided by active ingredients;- natural origin of most ingredients in the formula;
- minimizing preservatives and flavorings in the manufacture of powders and liquids;
- safety for humans, confirmed by dermatological tests;
- protecting the environment through the use of recycled plastics;
- production of products using environmentally friendly equipment.
The main disadvantage of Frosch products that is important to consumers is cost. Powders, balms, and gels that go on public sale are not cheap, but the price is paid off by their quality.
The examinations carried out show that there are some complaints regarding the quality of washing.. In particular, after 25 automated washes at 40 degrees with Frosch products, things turn yellow and become deformed in width.
Compound
The amount of synthetic substances in the formula of powder and liquid concentrates is kept to a minimum. Most of the ingredients are of natural origin.
The current complex, which provides cleansing, contains:
- zeolites (5-30%),
- nonionic surfactants (up to 15%),
- natural soap,
- enzymes.
In addition, the manufacturer uses additional components that are necessary to maintain the quality of the products. These include:
- fiber darkening inhibitors,
- paint particle transfer blockers,
- cosmetic dyes,
- plant extracts for fragrance (pomegranate, aloe vera, lemon, chamomile, almond milk).
Product line
Frosch brand products include several types of laundry detergents:
Washing powder. The finely granulated concentrated product is sold in three versions: Color Aloe Vera, Citrus, Baby for children's underwear. The high degree of concentration of active ingredients ensures economical consumption of the bulk product.- Gel. The range includes liquid product Pomegranate, concentrate Marseille soap, balm for delicate fabrics, concentrate Sea minerals, Sensitive, Aloe Vera, Apple, detergent for colored laundry, universal liquid concentrate.
- Rinse aid. The assortment is represented by concentrate for baby clothes, Sensitive, Lavender, Freshness, Almond milk, Aloe Vera, Rose hip, Cotton flowers.
Stain remover occupies a separate position in the Frosch line. This product is intended for pre-treatment of particularly contaminated areas of fabric.
How to use?
Despite the absence of aggressive detergents, Frosch products are used according to the general washing scheme.
If there are particularly prominent stains on the fabric, they must be treated with a special Frosch stain remover before washing.
After applying the stain remover, lightly rub the contaminated area and leave a short time for the reaction to occur.
Treatment with Color powder or universal gels for different types of fabrics is carried out at a temperature of 30-60 degrees, selecting the mode required for this product (standard or delicate).
Powder and gel Citrus allows water heating up to 95 degrees and an intensive wash cycle.
The amount of powder or gel must be taken according to the instructions on the package. It is adjusted depending on the hardness of the water, the degree of soiling of the laundry and the amount of load in the machine.
How to choose?
Considering that the Frosch range is not limited to two or three options, it is necessary to make the right choice for each type of fabric. Things of different colors (white, color, black), quality (cotton, synthetics, wool, silk), purposes (for adults and children) are washed with a certain type of powder or gel:
- For light laundry – Citrus powder, gels: Pomegranate, Sea minerals, Sensitive, Lemon.
- For colored fabrics – Color powder, gels: Pomegranate, Marseille soap, Sensitive, liquid product for colored laundry, Lemon, Apple.
- For dark things – Sensitive gel, universal liquid concentrate.
- For delicate items – Balm for wool and delicate fabrics.
- For removing stains – Marseille soap, Sea minerals, Lemon liquid.
- For baby clothes – Baby powder and gel, Pomegranate gel, Marseille soap.
Allergies - what to do?
All Frosch products are considered hypoallergenic. This property is guaranteed by the natural composition of products intended for washing and rinsing. But it is necessary to take into account the fact that an individual reaction can manifest itself not only to synthetic substances, but also to natural compounds.
If a person has a weak or periodically manifested reaction to detergents or auxiliary components, then double rinsing without using rinse aid will help reduce it. If there are strong signs of allergies, especially in a small child, you should consult a doctor for advice and help..
Best before date
Since Frosch gels and powders contain natural ingredients, and the preservatives used have a mild effect, the question of the shelf life of the product becomes relevant. The manufacturer indicates that this period is no less than that of analogues of other brands and is two years.
Alternatives
Comparative analysis, tests and consumer reviews allow us to compare Frosh with analogues. At the top of many ratings are Persil, Tide and Losk. These brands constitute a worthy alternative to the German brand, since all of them are safe for the respiratory tract, skin and mucous membranes of humans, and do not cause intoxication or irritation.
In terms of effectiveness, these detergents also have much in common. All four brands work satisfactorily on stains. They are classified as moderate foaming agents, although Frosh wins in this regard, since it produces almost no foam.
At the same time, Frosch analogues have individual pros and cons:
Persil. Removes rust better. After repeated washings, the products stretch in length and width. The strength of the fibers after this powder is reduced by 45%, and the color fades by 5%.- Tide. Compared to analogues, it preserves the color of things better; paint loss is only 4%. The fabric does not turn yellow or gray after washing and remains durable.
- Gloss. Things lose color by 5% after the 15th wash. The fabric, just like after Tide, does not turn yellow or gray. This distinguishes Losk from Frosh.
Where and at what price to buy?
Frosch products are supplied to online stores, hyper- and supermarkets, hardware stores and markets.
The cost of goods at different retail outlets may vary, on average it is:
- powders (1.35 kg) – 600-700 rubles;
- gels (2 liters) – 700-900 rubles;
- rinses (750 ml) – 150-250 rubles.
Reviews
Frosh is a popular brand, recommended for use by about 86% of users. The positive qualities noted in the reviews include safety and economical consumption. The comments highlight the excellent German quality that characterizes various Frosch products.
Other users like the soft, barely noticeable aroma of Frosch; the absence of an intrusive smell is an advantage. At the same time, the quality of washing is rated as average even with an increased dosage of powder.
In addition, when the drum is maximally loaded, the consumption of the product increases significantly and the concept of “efficiency” loses its meaning.
Users question the natural composition of gels and powders, since the manufacturer does not fully disclose the recipe anywhere and does not name which plant-derived surfactants are used.
Frosh's qualities as a purifier are not extolled either. It gets rid of dark juice stains much worse than phosphate powders.
Conclusion
Environmentally friendly products of the Frosh brand are popular among housewives. The brand stands out among analogues due to its safe composition and satisfactory level of cleansing.A wide range of powder, liquid and concentrated products allows you to choose the appropriate washing method.
