Consumer Reviews

I have been washing clothes only with Laska products for over 3 years now. I noticed that new things perfectly retain their shape, color and softness even when washed at 20 degrees. And recently I started adding “Laska: White Glow” gel when rinsing light-colored bedding sets. My sheets are not the first year old, but they have become noticeably brighter, the stains have disappeared

Tamara, Kostroma, 28 years old

I first purchased Laska gels specifically for washing the dark outerwear of my husband and sons. It is important to me that there are no streaks left on black items after the first rinse and that the color is preserved. “Laska” coped with the task right away.

Lydia, 36 years old, Samara

For me, the real problem is the dosage of detergents. It is difficult to rinse out excess, and re-washing due to shortage is also bad. Therefore, the easiest way for me to measure liquids is from the Laska line. They don't leave traces of powder and I no longer worry about the quality of the wash. There is also no need to iron sports jersey, since the products deal with dirt in a gentle mode, which leaves no creases on the fabric.

I learned about the product from an advertisement and wanted to try it. I liked Laska because of its price and the fact that the gel is ideal for washing tracksuits. The volume is large, just a little product is enough, which I add to the rinse aid and conditioner compartment. The aroma is strong, but it doesn’t bother me personally, I recommend the gel!

The substances that make up the gel not only cleanse fabrics from deep stains, but also protect the overall color of the item from being washed out.
