Richardson stated that powdered detergent does not expire or lose its effectiveness unless they come into contact with moisture. In fact, he has been to a real estate sale just to buy detergent from the 60s and it still works fine.
If the powder comes into contact with moisture or gets wet, the product can clump together or become lumpy. It may also not fully dissolve and sometimes mold can form.
The best way to store powdered detergent
You should store powdered detergent in a dry, cool place and keep it in a sealed container.
Compressed powdered detergent
Powdered detergent in small pouches can dissolve quickly because they are made from very thin polyvinyl film. When left wet, they will puncture. However, if kept in their container, these pellets will exist for a long time like liquid detergents.
Storing single-use powdered detergent
Just like powdered laundry detergent, these types react quickly and strongly to moisture so they need to be stored in a dry, cool place and kept in a sealed container.
Expiration of liquid detergent and other cleansers
Turns out, liquid detergent (along with a range of other cleansers) have expiration dates. With the advice from Patric Richardson – the author of the book “Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore” and host of The Laundry Guy on Discovery+, you can know how long to keep the detergent to achieve maximum effectiveness and how to store them as best as possible.
With unopened liquid detergent, it can begin to lose effectiveness from 9 months to 1 year after the production date. Opened detergent should be used within 5 months for the best results. After these days, you can still use the product but it will not provide optimal results.
Richardson mentioned that naturally-based or plant-based liquid cleansers have a shorter shelf life. For both types, pay attention to changes in smell and color. This may mean the cleanser has expired or is past its best before date.
Best way to store liquid cleansers
Liquid cleansers, whether they are chemical-based or natural-based, should be stored in a dark and dry place, such as under the sink or in a cabinet. And pouring all the cleanser into fancy glass containers may look nice but Richardson says you shouldn’t do that.
“The cleanser has enzymes and things that break down different types of fibers. That’s what it’s designed to do and its packaging is the best thing to store them,” he says.
