A1 Gopala Krishnan, FormerAssistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom · 1966–2004 ·Justnow Before the wideappearance of liquid detergent we were using powder only. It appears liquid detergentgives better wash than powder. Nowadays most shops keep detergentliquid than powder on this account. A few months back,my Samsung front load washing machine had a problem, the engineer came and atthat time I found the power distribution panel ontop corroded near the detergent tray for about 4 inches. He simply swiped it with a cloth after switching OFFthe supply. He toldit was due to detergent powder and advised to use only liquid detergent infuture. But in front load washing machine the power distributionpanel is else where. He had no specificanswer, whether it was common to corrode the power distribution panel whenpowder only was available. I did not continue further. I felt the stainless steel distribution panel strip might beof lesser quality. So the advantageof liquid detergent is better washing compared to powder.Corrosionin stainless steel parts of the washing machine can be lesser by using lesserdetergent ,irrespective of front load or top load washing machine.
