For me, doing the laundry is the most tedious task among all the household chores. It takes me two to four hours, sometimes even half a day, just to finish a week’s load of laundry. There’s the segregation of the whites, the light-colored garments, and the colorfast clothes. There’s the soaking of those really dirty houseclothes of Ykaie. Then there’s the manual washing (kusot- style) of the super light and delicate fabrics. Then comes the never-ending rinsing because you have to remove all those lather. I rinse our clothes three times before hanging them to dry to make sure I remove all the foam and whatever leftover detergent it may have. I even tried that fabric conditioner that says you’ll only have to rinse once.
Today, I tried using Pride Powerwash, a detergent that is specially made for washing machines.
So what does make Pride Powerwash to be “tama para sa washing machine“?
1. Tama ang bula – Pride Powerwash is low foam making thus making it easier to rinse. And because it is low lather, clothes can move freely and your washing machine can clean your clothes efficiently.
2. Tama sa mantsa – Pride Powerwash has a Stain-Away Formula. It effectively removes dirt and stain plus it has dirt repellers that prevents dirt that has been removed from clinging back to the clothes. There’s no need for manual washing (or kusot-style washing).
3. Tama ang formulation – Unlike other laundry detergents, Pride Powerwash is pure and contains no chalk. This ensures you that it won’t clog the motor of your washing machine
One more thing I like about Pride Powerwash is that it is environment -friendly. It contains surfactants that are not harmful to the environment.
There’s a Washing Instruction at the back of the 2Kg bag of Pride Powerwash. It says:
- You should add the correct amount of Pride corresponding to the water level in the washing machine. For low water level, where in you can wash around 14 pieces of clothes, you should add 4-5 tablespoons of Pride. For medium water level, where in you can wash around 20 pieces of clothes, you should add 7-8 tablespoons of Pride. And For high water level, where in you can wash around 25 pieces of clothes, you should add 4-5 tablespoons of Pride.
- Load clothes and switch on to wash cycle for 10 minutes. For heavily soiled clothes, wash for 12-15 minutes. I think this goes to show that you can wash your clothes for a small amount of time but you can get a better brighter clean when using Pride.
- Spin, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
I tried washing 16 pieces of clothing with low water level and added around 1/4 cup of Pride which is also the same as 4 tablespoons (reminds me so much of baking, LOL!).
Look, it’s really low foam! Usually there’s a lot of foam on top and the clothes I’m washing are barely visible. Since I’m washing clothes that aren’t that dirty, I set the washing machine to do a quick wash. It was very easy to rinse as well and it smells really fresh!
Pride is color-safe and is compatible with all types of washable fabric. It prevents clothes from looking dull by preventing precipitation of mineral in the water. White clothes remain white and colored clothes remain bright. Check out Ykaie’s purple layered top. It’s bright and clean.
I think I’m a convert now. Indeed, Pride Powerwash is the perfect detergent for washing machines. It help washing machine clean clothes efficiently, helps mommies rinse easier, and keeps clothing clean, bright, and smelling fresh.
I think our washing machine will thank me for using Pride Powerwash, LOL! This will lessen my time of doing the laundry and I’ll have more time to spend with Ykaie.
wow the clothes look great. will be looking into that brand.
you won’t regret it!
Pride is among the leading laundry soap so this is a nice try.
I think so too, Franc!
I also use pride and I can say it’s very effective and efficient.
Pride is the best there is 🙂
I think so too, Johanna!
be trying this out, i’ve been really looking for a perfect automatic washing machine soap. my laundry area looks like a supermarket with different brands of laundry soap lol, i am using separate soap for the whites and the colored clothes which is too pricey and hurts my wallet. you have not mentioned about the price, how much is it sis?
This bag is around P160, I think..
My kids and I have been making ours for a while, since I ran out.
I used to dislike doing the laundry but with the introduction of better washing machines and detergents, it has become the easiest task for me.
Same here, mommy Tetcha!
Does it have other scents or only the classic one? We have never used Pride as my mom’s favorite is Ariel and then Downy.
It just has this one scent but it really smells good.
Sounds like a great product! Thanks for the heads up.
it is 🙂
When I was in the Philippines, I recall my mom using Pride detergent to wash the dirty laundry.:)
It’s really works perfectly with the washing machine.
when I told my officemate about the detergent brand I’m currently using, she commented that it is not advisable for washing machines. mabula daw masyado, and she mentioned about Pride.
You also mentioned it here so from now on, I’ll be using Pride detergent.
I really think you should give it a try 🙂 Thanks Wena!
I’m with you. Laundry is my most tedious chore also. It looks like it kept your colors safe, I like that!
That’s what I like most about this detergent..
Whatever works well and makes life simpler too is great in my book.
Cheers to that!
I like that it is environmentally friendly. I think that is Sooooo important!
I like that it is environmentally friendly. I think that is Sooooo important!
I agree!
Have never tried pride before, looks like a good one to use for washing clothes.

I think it’s not available there yet,mommy Rose.
i have yet to try this brand, but if it has an “environment-friendly” seal, then i am all for it! the low-foaming formula is also a big plus!
I’m sure you’ll love it, Vix!
This brand of washing machine detergent soap has been used by my wife quite sometime and it is good. I don’t know the reason why she has changed into another brand..
It also smells really nice!
The Stain-Away Formula of Pride Powerwash intrigues me! I want to try it, too!
You have to try this detergent, Tetcha!
We’ve been using Pride for a long time. Sadly, we had to change just recently due to allergic reactions on my niece’s skin.
Awww, that’s too bad. I wonder what’s causing the allergy?
I’ll recommend this to my wife, but if I’m the one to go shopping, personally purchase one.
I think your wife will like this detergent.
i love this product! we have been using this product for sometime and no complaints so far
Us too! It smells soo good too!
i never pay attention to what soap i used when washing my clothes, as long it has “bula” then its okay for me. hehe 🙂
Then you should try Pride. It will keep your clothes clean and smelling fresh.
We’ve been using Pride for so many years now. It really is perfect for machine washing.
I couldn’t agree more!
I don’t do the weekly washing of my clothes, but I’d recommend this to my mother and ease the workload of our maid.
Good thinking Keneth!
good day.
may i know how much the pride powder extra for washing mashine? can you send me an email the add i can go to but pls…
best regards
Hi Vilma,
The 1Kg Pride is around P105 pesos, I think.
Manual washing takes too much time and your hands will get sore. With the use of washing machine, you can wash heavy loads faster. I bought another version of Pride, it’s PRIDE with FABRIC CONDITIONER SUMMER BLOOM at goods.ph.
