The fashion industry does not stand still; it sets everything around it in motion, pulling into the forefront of countless fabrics and textures. And the engine of such progress is rightfully the textile industry!
An incredible variety of fibers, weaves and densities all contribute to the emergence of structured fabrics and textured products. But it’s quite easy to get lost in this abundance of clothes, because many people are still afraid of the specifics of caring for delicate things. Remember how many times have you denied yourself a wool cardigan or a silk blouse you liked?
It's time to forget about the difficulties of washing delicate items, now you don't have to be afraid that your favorite item will lose color! And all this thanks to “Laska” alone!
The drug "Laska" entered the Russian market back in 1997. Fashion, style, technology changed, and “Laska” also improved.
A series of product transformations and improvements in product formulas have led to the fact that today “Laska” remains a bestseller among products for delicate and delicate items!

Purpose of Laska gels
The first acquaintance with "Laska" may not go smoothly - it is too easy to get lost in the abundance of gels on offer. This brand produces several “specialized” products suitable for a specific type of fabric . Therefore, it is necessary to read the label correctly and determine the purpose of the gel:
- “3D white restoration” - will allow you to return things to their ideal whiteness.
- “Black Shine” – designed for dark laundry and helps prevent color fading.
- “Magic of Color” – will add even more brightness and saturation to colored fabric.
- “Active&Fresh” - a series specially designed for sportswear, therefore it not only completely eliminates unpleasant odors, but also makes things soft and undamaged.
- “Wool/silk” – guarantees delicate care with high-quality cleansing.
- “Care&Repair” - translates as “care” and “restoration”, since this product gently washes and at the same time protects the fabric structure, removing pills and puffs.
If you purchase several gels for each group of things, you can preserve their color and the integrity of the material longer. But the quality of washing will also be affected by proper use, so before pouring the detergent into the drum, you should read the instructions. We'll talk about this later.
Compound
has its production facilities in Russia. Under the Laska brand it produces a wide range of washing gels for various purposes:
- “White shine” - for light-colored products. Helps things remain white, copes with gray plaque, and prevents re-contamination.
- “Magic of Color” - designed for products in bright colors. The dye is not washed out of the fibers and retains rich shades for a long time.
The composition contains the following components: A- surfactant - surfactants
(surfactants) are chemical compounds that, concentrating at the interface between thermodynamic phases, cause a decrease in surface tension.
The main use of surfactants is as an active component of detergents and cleaning products.
“>surfactants up to 15%, 5% N-surfactants, phosphates, sodium salts, fatty acids, polymers, fragrance. In addition, each line contains enzymes intended for one direction or another.
Application procedure
Only by knowing how to use the product in the washing machine and its permissible dosage can you achieve an ideal result. Otherwise, it’s easy to “overdo it” or underfill it, which can result in unwashed items or washed out colors. Therefore, we strictly follow the procedure recommended by the manufacturer.
- We sort the laundry by color (black, white, colored) and by type of fabric (synthetic, cotton, silk, wool, etc.).
- Choosing a suitable product from the “Laska” series
- Using a measuring cap, measure out the appropriate dose. When washing by hand, 20 ml per 5 liters of water is enough, but when washing by machine, you need to calculate the individual dosage. So, for minor stains, 60 ml is enough, for “average” stains - 90 ml, and for old, stubborn and greasy stains - at least 120 ml.
The product dissolves perfectly at any temperature and is completely rinsed without streaks or additional rinses.
- Pour into the powder compartment in the tray or directly into the washing drum.
Don't forget to choose the right washing mode. As a general rule, the water temperature should be between 30-60 degrees unless otherwise stated on the label. Next, let's look at each tool in more detail.
How to properly use a washing machine
Not all housewives, even those who have used an automatic washing machine more than once, know how to properly use washing gel, including those produced under the Laska brand. The manufacturer recommends not using the product as a base for washing, but combining it with washing powders of a similar nature. This allows you to enhance the cleaning effect of the powder, while softening its effect on the fabric fibers.
You must proceed in the following way:
- Take Laska powder and add it to the washing machine compartment.
- A gel from a similar series is added to the adjacent compartment. The volume of the substance is halved compared to washing powder.
- Start the wash, selecting the delicate cycle.
Before washing, try to study the instructions for use from the manufacturer indicated on the packaging. Do not exceed the volume of use, counting on enhancing the effect. By doing this you will do more harm than good and ruin an expensive item.
We erase black and white
Belle needs an individual approach, which the Laska gel helps provide. So, to return or maintain whiteness, it is enough to regularly use “3D white restoration”. A specially developed formula preserves light substances in the fabric, and safe bleaches wash out extraneous shades and add shine and shine. Special components smooth out rough fibers, which makes clothes extra smooth and soft.
If the water entering the washing machine is too hard, it must be softened using a special product or by adding a soda solution to the drum.
To keep black items dark, they are washed separately and only with specialized products. The ideal solution would be to buy a bottle of Laska Magic Black. Its secret is in a special formula, thanks to which the gel envelops the texture and creates a protective shell. As a result, the original dye remains intact, the linen is preserved in its original form, which eliminates grayness and fading. At the same time, the clothes acquire softness, smoothness and an unobtrusive aroma.
Where can I buy
You can buy Laska liquid powder at any household chemicals store, supermarket or on the Internet. The price of the products is moderate, depending on the volume of the container. On average, a 1 liter bottle costs 150–250 rubles, 2 liters – 250–450 rubles, and 3 liters – up to 700 rubles. Buy powder in stores that have documents for the goods sold. Their absence indicates the sale of low-quality goods or counterfeits. How effective “Laska” is against stains, see in the video:

Washing everyday laundry
We act differently with colored things. First, don't forget to sort by fabric type. Secondly, we divide the laundry by primary colors, especially, do not mix red and blue colors. Using Weasel on white is strictly prohibited: bleach may reduce brightness. But a specially developed gel for color can enhance the effect of washing due to the following advantages:
- special components of the product envelop the fabric fibers, creating protective shells around them;
- Protected fabric keeps dyes intact, so the color remains the same;
- The soft structure of the gel smoothes the laundry, gives it shine and shine.
Manufacturers recommend washing sports items with a separate product – “Laska Active&Fresh”. Its advantages are neutralization of strong odors and gentle washing. Thanks to the latter, it is possible to preserve the special structure of a particular fabric even after several washes, for example, for “breathable” items or thermal underwear. Athletes will also be pleasantly surprised by the subsequent freshness, when during training the substances preserved in the tissue membrane will “work” and refresh.
Instructions
This product is much easier to use than powder. However, it is not always possible to do without the latter. It is recommended to dilute this liquid with another detergent. In this case, the effect will be stronger.
If you wash in an automatic machine, do not load it more than halfway. This will allow you to achieve the desired result much faster.
Add half a cap of Weasels to the powder compartment. It is better to choose the temperature based on the information on clothing labels. The manufacturer recommends using no more than forty degrees as optimal.
Modern machines have a special washing mode called “Delicate”. It removes stains from clothes more gently. Set the drying speed to low, as it can stretch things or leave them very wrinkled.
Care for delicate fabrics
Delicate fabrics require special care, and “Laska Wool and Silk” will help you cope with this difficult task. It does not contain aggressive bleaches or other components that destroy the fabric structure, so clothes do not deform or deteriorate after washing. Moreover, detergents fight stains at low water temperatures and rinse perfectly without leaving streaks or unpleasant hardness.
The “Care&Repair” series gel is also suitable for delicate linen, since its more gentle composition will not only allow you to carefully clean it, but also prevent damage to the fabric. A bonus will be the elimination of up to 80% of the pills on clothes. The main thing is to carefully read the instructions and correctly calculate the dosage.
Operating principle
“Laska” is a ready-to-use liquid detergent and powder designed specifically for mechanical washing. Inside the drum, the components of the gel are activated and put into operation. If high water temperature adds efficiency to a powder, then liquids reveal their abilities only up to 40 degrees. They completely dissolve and do not leave streaks on the fabric, as they are very easy to rinse even with cool water.
Laska gels contain enzymes that do an excellent job of removing dirt and softening the fibers of delicate fabrics.
What ensures the effectiveness of Laski?
Now about the most important thing - the composition of the Laska gels. Despite the fact that individual products of the brand have special components and substances, its main ingredients are the same for all.
- Nonionic surfactants, less than 5%.
- Phosphates.
- Natural soap.
- Enzymes.
- Preservatives.
- Flavoring (depending on the gel series).
- Anionic surfactants (5-15%).
- Dyes (chemical).
A special manufacturing technology prevents the gel from settling on fabric fibers, which ensures complete leaching of all components of the product.
Due to the gel base, the product dissolves easily and is quickly washed out, leaving things spotlessly clean and fragrant. Complete leaching does not threaten the quality of the wash - safe components are able to linger in the fibers and provide long-lasting aroma and softness. Thus, washed laundry remains fresh for several days after washing. Water softeners are often added to the composition, which enhance the effect of “Laski” and prevent the appearance of scale.
It’s also convenient that it doesn’t matter where you pour the product. It can be placed either in the tray or directly in the drum - the gel will still foam and clean all dirt. A nice addition will be economical consumption due to the concentrated formula, so one bottle will last for a long time.
Some people are distrustful of “Laska”, not understanding how a gel that looks the same can have different effects on tissue. The secret is in a well-thought-out structure and special components that allow you to perfectly “adapt” to the item and lead to a brilliant result.

Exact dosage... how? There is no scale on the cap! By scientific poking?!
Answer
General characteristics
“Laska” is a liquid gel-like product (concentrate), sold in a 1 liter, 2 liter or 3 liter bottle. The gel washes stains well and impregnates the fabric with hypoallergenic fragrances, making the laundry pleasant to look, feel and smell. To correctly calculate the dosage of liquid powder required for 1 wash, use the product lid, which acts as a measuring cap.
- brand – “Laska”,
- ,
- release form - gel powder,
- washing - automatic,
- fabrics – colored, white, black,
- volume – 1–3 l.
After washing, the linen is extremely soft and has vibrant color thanks to shade-restoring substances. Choose the right product. For snow-white linen, “Weasel Magic of White” is suitable, for black linen – “Magic of Black”, and for colored linen – “Magic of Color”.
Operating principle
The safety and mechanism of action of the powder depend on the composition of the gel. Any type of product contains the following components:
- nonionic surfactants,
- preservatives,
- butylphenylmethylpropional,
- soap,
- fragrance,
- phosphonates,
- amilcinnamal,
- polymers,
- dyes,
- air conditioner.
Surfactants, including soap, coat the fibers and break down dirt. The advantage of these substances is easy rinsing, since soap does not penetrate into the fabric. This factor makes the gel hypoallergenic and safe for people prone to allergic reactions.
Dyes added to the composition restore the shade of white and black fabrics without damaging the quality. This extends the service life of the product, protects the fibers from damage and paints over marks left by old stains.

Conditioner (conditioner) makes the fabric soft, and fragrances make it fragrant, so wearing clothes washed with Laska automatic washing gel is pleasant.
Advantages
Jackets made of membrane fabric and down jackets cannot be washed with dry powders, as they leave streaks. Knowing how to use liquid powder when treating outerwear will prevent this side effect from occurring. But be sure to adhere to washing specifications and the correct temperature.
Liquid powder does not leave streaks on jackets
Experienced housewives noted the following advantages of Laska products:
- are produced in convenient containers (easy to pour, measure dosage),
- can be purchased in the required quantity. For a small family, 1 liter is enough, and for a large family – 3 liters,
- dissolves well in water,
- highly effective in manual or automated washing,
- do not require the use of rinses, conditioners,
- are inexpensive,
- are available in almost every household chemical store,
- removes stains efficiently, especially at temperatures above 40°C.
Be careful ! Woolen items, silk and other delicate fabrics cannot be subjected to heat treatment, otherwise they will lose their shape, stretch or shrink. Also, do not wash colored items in hot water.
Flaws
“Laski” has much fewer negative reviews. The main reason for their appearance is untimely care of clothes.
- does not cope with long-term and technical stains: paint, machine oil, fuel oil,
- The bottle sells out within a month.
If you see that the fabric in the collar and cuff area is darkening, immediately wash the product in the machine. Wash off a greasy stain or trace of berries, grass, or hair dye by hand until the stain dries, otherwise it will be difficult or even impossible to remove.
The product is used up quickly
Features of use Use Laska liquid washing powder just like any other, but following certain recommendations:
- do not load the machine drum more than halfway - this will improve the quality of the wash,
- wash blue, red, yellow, light blue and green items separately from white and black ones,
- pour the powder into the 2nd compartment of the machine – 2 (B),
- For 1 wash, use 0.5 - 1 cap of powder.
Adjust the washing temperature specified by the clothing manufacturer to preserve the properties of the fabric, and “Laska” will help give it shine and a fresh tint.
Damaged clothes: there is a way out
After just a few washes, some types of fabric turn into an abundance of pellets and lint. "Care&Repair" is designed to protect new tissue and restore damaged tissue.
How to use? Hand wash: 40-50 ml (per 5 liters of water). Machine wash: 110 ml (per 4-5 kg of laundry) in the main wash compartment (maintain temperature in the range of 30-60 °C).
It's time to stop avoiding fabrics that require special care, because special products have long been created to make washing delicate fibers as easy as possible.
The “Laska” product will be an excellent solution for those who want to extremely quickly and easily preserve the color and texture of their favorite products!
Advantages
There are various brands of washing gels available in the market. There is an opportunity to choose among a large number of products. Laska products stand out due to their affordable price, wide range, and cost-effectiveness.
It is convenient to dose Laska liquids using a bottle cap. They cope well with dirt of various natures, do not leave streaks, and do not injure delicate products. Fabrics retain their brightness, acquire softness and a fresh look. Laska powders cope even with severe dirt, stubborn stains from grease and grass. They differ from ordinary household chemicals in a more delicate attitude towards things.
"Black Magic"
If a dark-colored product is new, it is better to wash it immediately with the “Weasel: Black Magic” product. Then there is no need to additionally rinse out the stains, and the rich shade will remain in its original form for a long time.
- “Laska” will return faded items to their former depth of black, maintain softness, shape and prevent further loss of color;
- you can choose powder or gel with a volume of 1 or 2 liters;
- used for both manual and mechanical washing;
- The gel replaces the main product and rinse aid.
"White Glow"
This line bleaches fibers without aggressive chlorine, leaving laundry fresh and clean for a long time. Softens water, so things are freed from gray scale deposits.
Soft extracts prevent the fibers from thinning when removing stains, which extends the life of the products.
Colored clothes: what to do?
Step 1. Sorting. It is recommended to wash colored items not just separately from white and black clothes, but only with a similar shade of color: for example, a red towel can be washed with a pink jacket, etc. The same principle of “dye exchange” applies here, as when washing white and black linen together.
Step 2. “Weasel.” Gel “Laska Magic of Color” allows you to protect colored fabrics from washing out the dye. The protective “shell” that forms around the fibers smooths out rough fabric and makes the color of the product more saturated!
How to use? Hand wash: 40-50 ml (per 5 liters of water). Machine wash: 110 ml (per 4-5 kg of laundry) in the main wash compartment (maintain temperature in the range of 30-60 °C).
If washing is carried out in hard water, then it is necessary to add 30 ml on top of the specified volume of gel.
