Top 5 detergents for self-service
Bluegold — the all-rounder
Concentrated enzyme-based detergent. 5–10 g/kg according to soiling. Recommended temperature about 40 °C. Pairs with Blue Soft. 10–20 kg formats.
Power Gold — the high-performer
Removes embedded organic matter. High surfactant content: degreases and disperses stains without damaging fabrics.
Eco Wash — the differentiator
EU Ecolabel certified. An auditable commercial argument. The bag-in-box format reduces waste.
Biogold — high efficacy
High-efficacy detergent. 5–10 g/kg according to soiling. Recommended temperature about 40 °C.
Biogold-Q — the hygieniser
Enzymatic hygienising detergent for laundries with two dosers. Effective in short, low-temperature washes.

Which one to choose for your laundry
All five detergents in the ranking are professional products; the difference lies in which problem each one solves best. These are the questions worth asking before you decide.
- Is hygiene your priority? Biogold Q is an enzymatic sanitising detergent designed for laundries with two dosing units; it combines surfactants, dispersants and enzymes.
- Do you want fragrance to be your signature? Bluegold is designed to work with Blue Soft softener, and Power Gold with Power Soft: in both cases the pairing aims for a long-lasting fragrance after washing.
- Do many loads arrive with ingrained organic soiling? Thanks to its high surfactant content, Power Gold degreases and disperses stains without damaging fabrics.
- Is sustainability what sets you apart? Eco Wash, with the EU Ecolabel, together with Eco Soft softener, which is also certified.
- Are you looking for a high-performance product for short washes? Biogold, with tertiary amines and enzymes, is particularly effective in short, low-temperature washes.
Formats and storage space
The format shapes day-to-day work as much as the formula. Bluegold comes in a 10 kg bag-in-box or a 20 kg container; Biogold and Biogold Q in 20 kg or boxes of 4x5 kg; Power Gold in 20 kg; and Eco Wash in a 10 L bag-in-box or 20 L. In a small shop, 5 kg containers or a bag-in-box are easier to change; if you have room and high consumption, the large format means fewer container changes.
Handling precautions
Using a professional detergent also means reading its CLP label. Biogold is classified as corrosive (H314); Bluegold, Power Gold and Eco Wash as H318 (serious eye damage); Biogold Q as H315 and H318. In practice: gloves and eye protection when changing containers, the safety data sheet at hand, and never mix with other chemical products.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use two different detergents in the same laundry?
Yes, as long as each one has its own circuit: container, tube and a pump calibrated to its dose. What you must not do is mix two products in the same container.
What dose should be programmed?
Bluegold, Biogold, Biogold Q and Power Gold are dosed at between 5 and 10 g per kg of dry laundry depending on how soiled it is, with a recommended temperature of around 40 °C. Eco Wash is dosed following the Technical Service's instructions according to water hardness.
