Hello everyone!
I do laundry pretty frequently, sometimes even multiple cycles a day, so I usually have a bunch of different laundry detergents at home.
When it comes to choosing a new laundry detergent, I'm always on the lookout for something that's easy to use and gets the job done.
I picked up the Synergetic Color laundry capsules on a whim at Fix Price in Belarus because they were super cheap - just 9 Belarusian rubles, which is roughly half the price of the same product at Mila!
I figured, why not? It's a familiar brand, even if everything I've tried from them hasn't been great, but the packaging was cool, and I'm a sucker for novelty.

WHERE TO BUY/PRICE:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Synergetic Color's biodegradable and hypoallergenic laundry capsules provide deep-down cleaning, removing complex stains and preventing pilling and snagging.
They also eliminate unpleasant odors.
SYNERGETIC Color Laundry Capsules
The combination of enzymes and plant-based additives effectively removes stains and fresh spots from fabric, even in cold water.
Functional additives prevent color transfer, maintaining the fabric's original appearance, color intensity, strength, and texture.
The hypoallergenic capsules are suitable for washing children's clothing and garments for people with sensitive skin.
They don't contain phosphates, phosphonates, acrylates, aggressive surfactants, SLS, or EDTA.
Dermatologically tested by an independent research institute Dermatest in Germany, [link].
One thing I appreciated about these laundry capsules was the hypoallergenic fragrance, which features eucalyptus and orange essential oils.
Another perk is that the biodegradable components won't harm septic systems or aquatic life.
PACKAGING AND ORGANOLEPTICS:
I received 12 large capsules in a small plastic container, which is just the right size – it holds the product without feeling like a behemoth.
I'm a fan of compact packaging, actually.
It's the oversized containers that get to me, whether they're for vitamins, cleaning supplies, or food.
And often, the product itself gets lost at the bottom.
Laundry Capsules SYNERGETIC Color
The product information is neatly stuck to the back and the lid, all in Russian, with detailed instructions and illustrations on how to use the capsules (including a helpful reminder to drop them into the washing machine drum – duh!).
Laundry Capsules SYNERGETIC Color
The capsules themselves are big, transparent, and contain a lovely yellow and green gel.
Honestly, I have no idea what's in them, but they seem to work well.
These laundry capsules are suitable for any temperature setting, according to the labels on the clothing – though I do appreciate the warning label that says:
– DO NOT USE ON WOOL, SILK, DELICATE, OR MEMBRANE FABRICS;
EXPECTATIONS VS. REALITY:
Given the manufacturer's promises, I was expecting a lot from these laundry capsules – specifically:
effective stain removal
a pleasant fragrance
no residue
color and texture preservation
APPLICATION AND IMPRESSIONS:
I decided to test the stain-removing capabilities of these capsules by washing them at a lower temperature than usual – 40 degrees.
Big mistake.
No matter how hard I tried, the capsule stains just wouldn't budge.
SYNERGETIC Color Washing Capsules
I don't usually overload the washing machine, so I threw in one capsule for a 3-4 kg load.
The result? It made no difference whether I washed at 40 degrees or 60 degrees – it was still just a gentle, hygienic wash.
SYNERGETIC Color Washing Capsules
Needless to say, these capsules can't handle tough stains!
But there's a bit of a silver lining here.
The capsules have a lovely, citrusy scent that's not overpowering.
After washing, the smell is barely noticeable on the clothes.
The capsules dissolve completely, even at 40 degrees, without leaving any residue on the fabric.
That being said, I think they're a bit pricey for a regular, refreshing wash.
Here's a quick summary:
➕
Big, nice-looking capsules
Easy to dissolve at 40 degrees (I didn't test them below that)
Lovely scent that doesn't linger on clothes
Eco-friendly (although I'd prefer them to be regular capsules, as they might be more effective)
Hypoallergenic
No phosphates, aggressive surfactants, SLS, or other harsh chemicals
➖
Can't handle tough stains – just a gentle, hygienic wash
Overall, they're a bit pricey, even at the price I paid. Buying them at double the price would be a total no-go for this quality
SYNERGETIC Color Washing Capsules
FINAL VERDICT:
I'd only recommend these capsules to people with sensitive skin or allergies who just want a quick pick-me-up for their laundry.
But if you're healthy, there are better options for getting your clothes clean.
These capsules aren't worth your time or money.
You can freshen up your clothes with cheaper, more effective alternatives.
NOT RECOMMENDED!
