Is it possible to wash with expired powder?
The shelf life of the average washing powder is from 3 to 5 years from the date of production, but it all depends on the manufacturer. During this time, the chemicals are fully functional. What happens after the expiration date?
An expired powder gradually loses its cleaning properties. Many pollution will be too much for him to handle.
The shelf life depends on the composition of the product, in particular, dietary supplements. The quality of powders is affected by storage conditions. When closed, they can lie for a long time and not lose their properties; when opened, the shelf life is reduced. Excessive humidity, high temperatures (from sunlight, batteries), and contact with other products spoil the product.

I bought the powder and didn’t look at the expiration date. I opened it and by the look of it I realized that something was wrong with it. It was a shame to throw it away. I left them to wash the floors.
