Caution:
polvo as powder/desk is very common "polvos de talco" "trapos para limpiar el polvo" "polvos de maquillaje" or as to be exhausted "estoy hecho polvo" but as slang, "echar un polvo" is "a quickie/to shag/to screw/to balll/to have it off". I don't know this kind of english words greetings

I said to a workmate, trying to show off my very limited spanish at the time(he was a guy, in case you´re wondering) "Cuando terminamos con esto vamos echar polvo el resto del día" I was trying to say that by the time we were through with the workload we had, we would be very tired for the rest of the day.. Guys, you cannot imagine the look he gave me ...! As he explained what I had said, I turned blue, then purple and finally red... Well...., I learnt never to mix the two expressions up.

Ajo en polvo, powdered garlic. I work in a restaurant and alot of the foods have sp/en labels. Several use "en polvo" to show that the contents are powdered.

Interesting you should mention that. You can learn a fair amount of vocabulary just from packaging and labels.
