Washing media. Modern detergents: features of choice, possible dangers, best market offers

Evgeny Sedov

When hands grow from the right place, life is more fun :)

In the modern world, it is impossible to do without cleaning, disinfecting agents, because cleanliness is the basis for the comfort and health of every person. With the development of technology, the requirements for the quality of life are increasing, and questions about improving the environment are acute. All detergents and cleaners are used to maintain cleanliness indoors, outdoors, suitable for car care, household items, and appliances. When using them, special attention should be paid to positive and negative consequences. High-quality chemical products are not harmful to humans.

Species

Now in stores there is a wide selection of detergents and cleaning products used in everyday life, in factories, in offices, on the street. They are powdered, gel, pasty, granular. Their composition includes many components, but the main ingredient is biodegradable surfactants. The production of cleaning chemicals takes place taking into account the requirements of GOST in several stages: mixing the necessary components, drying, if necessary, packaging and packaging.

Environmental

With the deterioration of the environment, housewives are increasingly thinking about the harm that detergents and cleaning products cause to a person and the environment. Many use folk methods of cleaning rooms, in our time it is irrational. There are chemical products for the care of premises that do not contain harmful substances: surfactants, chlorine, phenols. These components cause irreparable damage to our body. Technologies for the production of cleaning and detergents are developing, harmful components are being eliminated from the compositions, but this does not affect the quality of the cleaning ability.

Synthetic

Disinfectants for cleaning are widely used on the market, suitable for machine and manual use, and have a high degree of cleaning power. They contain active substances, thanks to which the surfaces are better wetted and cleaned of contaminants. If drugs are used in everyday life, then you need to ensure that the content of this harmful component does not exceed five percent, and the use should be minimized.

Assortment

The range of detergent chemistry in stores is wide, so it is difficult to decide what you need. All substances used to clean hard surfaces from contamination are classified according to their consistency and purpose. They are widely used in everyday life, in laundries, in cleaning companies. For the home, they are produced in small volumes, which last for a long time. If you do daily cleaning of the apartment with chemistry, then this can harm the whole family, because the microclimate will be disturbed, the concentration of harmful substances will increase.

Professional "chemistry" for cleaning companies is now being produced. The products are distinguished by the fact that they are produced in a highly concentrated form, in large volumes, of a certain range of effects for professional equipment. Donaticus distributes such chemicals from Russian manufacturers to cleaning companies.

for dishes

Every day we use household chemicals, otherwise called detergents, to wash dishes. Without them, our modern existence is impossible. Many people make dish detergent with their own hands, but most buy ready-made, which should have a number of qualities:

remove dirt well;
do not contain harmful components in the composition;
have antibacterial properties;
rinse well with water.

The use of a dishwasher in offices, banquet halls, catering establishments greatly facilitates the process of washing dishes. The use of household chemicals leads to equipment failure, so special dishwasher detergents must be used. They are perfectly washed off from surfaces, remove dirt well, do not leave streaks on the dishes. Solclean dishwasher detergents take care of the equipment, prevent filters and surfaces from getting dirty.

Now there is a wide choice of universal products for tiles, linoleum, parquet, glass. In offices, the main task is the high-quality removal of stains, dust from carpets and other surfaces. In hotels, the main goal is the safety of the chemical compositions used with a wide range of effects. For cleaning the premises, special equipment with professional products for various types of surfaces is used.

Progress does not stand still, washing vacuum cleaners are replacing old brooms. With them, the time spent on cleaning is reduced, physical activity is reduced, surfaces are cleaned and disinfected at the same time. A professional product is added to the water before starting work, the better its properties, the better the cleaning will be. Primary requirements:

high degree of disinfection;
obstruction to static electricity;
reduced foaming, softening property;
concentration.

Floor cleaners are for manual use and special equipment. They are produced in liquid form with a high concentration, which saves their consumption and improves the quality of cleaning. Special floor cleaning chemicals are used in everyday life and public places. Safety, easy removal of dirt from surfaces are the main requirements for floor cleaners. The content of surfactants should not exceed five percent, this guarantees high-quality and harmless cleaning.

Plastic windows have become an integral part of our lives, they are easy to use and do not require particularly careful maintenance. Properly selected composition will extend the life of your windows, bring cleanliness and comfort to the house. Many use traditional methods, but it is much easier to buy ready-made chemical window cleaners, it takes less time, and the result is better. They should not include: gasoline, acids, solvents. These components harm the frame, change its color, destroy the structure.

For cars

Technical detergents for machines are of two types: for manual use or non-contact application. The difference between them is only in the cleaning method, the chemical preparation is applied to the surface of the machine with a foaming agent or a sponge, after a while it is washed off with a karcher with a plentiful stream of water under pressure. You need to do this procedure yourself or resort to the services of a car wash, which will be more expensive, but faster.

There are professional car engine cleaning chemicals that easily remove dirt, oil and other contaminants. The right tool will help save time and clean the engine efficiently. If it is not washed, then the road reagents that have settled on it can lead to breakage, so this process should not be neglected. Many use home methods and clean the engine themselves, but it is better to trust the professionals by visiting a car wash.

For carpets

Carpets are present not only at home, but also in offices. Dirt, dust often accumulates on them, stubborn stains easily remain. Carpet products are the solution to this problem. If you choose them correctly, then the life of carpet products is extended at times. Manufacturers take into account all the features of coatings, improve compositions so that the use of chemistry does not cause harm. One of these companies is Ecolife, which produce environmentally friendly products.

Baby

Children are our future, they are the most exposed to the negative effects of finished cleaning products. Ordinary household chemicals for washing and washing dishes in this case can not be used categorically. German manufacturers of children's chemicals that produce organic products are gaining more and more popularity. They combine quality, low price and safety, which is important when there are children in the house. Such products must be:

fragrance-free;
hypoallergenic;
good for removing stains from clothes;
phosphate-free, without dyes and surfactants.

Cleaning

Professional cleaners are designed to remove dirt from surfaces made of different materials. They are produced for use in everyday life, in factories, in cleaning companies. The release form is diverse: powders, suspensions, granules. They can include up to 95 percent artificial or natural abrasive, surfactants, fragrances, and many other ingredients to improve cleaning performance.

For cleaning companies, chemical mixtures of a narrow spectrum of effects are used. For the home, a washing and cleaning multifunctional product is more suitable, which cleans surfaces made of different materials. The use of such chemistry in everyday life saves time, money, and the result is of high quality. Cleaning finished products for general use have a number of advantages:

disinfect;
remove many contaminants;
suitable for cleaning bathtubs, stoves, toilet bowls, tiles, washing dishes.

For furniture

To protect furniture from dirt, you need to use special substances. They do not contain a large concentration of chemicals that will adversely affect the furniture. Such products are produced simultaneously for cleaning carpets and upholstered furniture with their own hands or with the help of equipment. When using them, you must strictly follow the instructions on the package.

For gas stoves

When choosing chemistry for cleaning the stove in the kitchen, it should be borne in mind that the enamel that covers the surface of the stove does not tolerate abrasive products. It is better to stop the choice on powders that do not contain this component. Cleaning should be done with a soft sponge or natural cloth to avoid mechanical damage. Cleaning powder "Komet" perfectly copes with the tasks, and from liquid products, "Adriel" with a dispenser, which has aggressive components in the composition, easily removes dirt, has high efficiency.

For Bath

In everyday life, universal cleaning chemical products are used that are suitable for showers and bathtubs. Acrylic bathtub cleaner should be soft, gentle, so as not to harm the surface. The yellow plaque that appears over time can be easily removed with special chemicals. Such a universal remedy is Gala cleaning powder, which does not scratch the surface. "Gala" removes dirt well and is suitable for cleaning showers and bathtubs.

Consumption rates

For each room there is specifically its own consumption rate of "chemistry". In everyday life, each housewife independently determines the amount of chemistry used. For office, budgetary and industrial premises, the norms are established privately. Cleaning chemicals must not contain more than five percent surfactants and 10% phosphates.

Video

The content of harmful substances negatively affects the state of our body. After watching this video, you will learn that it is not necessary to buy detergent chemicals, you can do it yourself. Do-it-yourself dishwashing detergent will be natural, environmentally friendly, effective and safe. Using the method from the video will allow you to refuse purchased chemicals and protect you and your loved ones from harmful effects.

Reviews

Oksana, 35 years old Since I have a child who often has an allergic reaction, safety and hypoallergenicity are my main requirements for cleaning chemicals. I tried the German Frosch dishwashing detergent with aloe vera. I was satisfied with the result, no divorces and my son has no allergies. The main thing is that it is well washed off and there is no odor that irritates the nose.

Irina, 27 years old I think that there are no better Japanese manufacturers of cleaning chemicals. I also tried our analogues, but I was tired of constant irritation on my hands, clogged pipes, and problems with plumbing. I ordered Lion detergent from Japan on the Internet. After two weeks of application, the stagnation in the pipes has disappeared, it effectively removes fat, does not leave streaks on the dishes. Most of all, I was pleased with the cost-effectiveness of the consumption of funds when using.

Oleg, 43 years old I am a very conservative person, I do not trust modern manufacturers who claim that their products are absolutely safe for humans. I recently stained the carpet, no soda and vinegar helped to remove the stain, I had to buy the Selena product. After using it, the stain brightened, but did not disappear at all, but the carpet itself became cleaner, which is good news.

A modern housewife cannot imagine herself without detergents at all. Indeed, how else to wash all the dirty dishes? Nowadays, there is a huge selection of a wide variety of tools that differ not only in the manufacturer, but also in their structure. Dishwashing gel, dishwashing liquid - all this is the result of many years of experience of people, accumulated by trial and error. Let's follow this result and see what detergents used to be and what they have become now.

How it all began

In the most ancient times, people washed dishes with ordinary water, only occasionally used primitive abrasives: sand, gravel, small pebbles. And finally, the first detergent appeared, which successfully survived our times - soap. According to historians, soap appeared in very ancient times and was known even during the time of the Babylonian and Sumerian civilizations. The process of its manufacture was depicted on clay tablets found by archaeologists. Since then, soap has firmly entered the household and has become increasingly popular.

In those days, no one knew about harmful microelements and bacteria. It was enough for people that the dishes simply did not remain greasy. In ancient Rome, soap was made from animal fat and made on Mount Sapo. And in difficult times, when there was nowhere to get soap, they used ordinary mustard powder.

Soap has been the main cleanser for many centuries. But even in those days, Japanese detergents were different from European ones. In Europe, soap was used with might and main, while in Japan they used traditional methods for cleaning dishes - special powders based on animal fats and abrasives. Japan has always been distinguished by a special attitude to hygiene, one has only to mention the famous warm springs.

The birth of synthetic detergents

The first synthetic agent appeared only in 1916, thanks to the German chemist Fritz Ponter. But the first attempts were not entirely successful, because detergents not only washed dishes, but also spoiled the skin. The industrial production of synthetic products, which were less dangerous for the skin, began in 1935. It is from this time that the era of synthetic detergents starts, leaving soap in second place.

After World War II, the world enters a new industrial age. The era - when the household industry becomes more important than the defense industry. Many famous chemical enterprises originated during this period, which are famous to this day.

After the defeat in World War II, Japan begins an active industrialization of the chemical and automotive industries. By investing huge amounts of money, the Japanese government sought to ensure that Japanese production was in the lead all over the world. Therefore, the chemical industry in Japan has accumulated rich experience in the field of detergent production.

Modern detergents and world market leaders

So we have reached our time, where any housewife can choose anything. But in fact, there are not so many good detergents. There are rumors on the Internet about the dangers of synthetic detergents. Is it true? Partly yes! Not every detergent can boast that it does not damage the delicate female skin, or does not leave behind harmful trace elements. Because of such low-quality means, these myths are born.

But, how else to wash dishes, because soap is very inconvenient to use? There is only one answer - you need to know which means to choose. It is in this situation that the Japanese chemical industry will help us. You just read how much it is highly developed and what diversity it has. In Japan, the chemical industry has firmly entered life and the local population simply cannot imagine itself without it. Just look at the variety of goods. Only there you can find chips with the most unusual flavors, thanks to special chemical emulsifiers that are common only in Japan. Japanese detergents are considered among the safest dishwashing detergents.

A variety of dishwashing gels will suit all the requirements of any housewife. Do you want to find a product that does not damage the skin and quickly removes fat even in cold water? Then feel free to turn your attention to Japanese detergents. The active elements of Japanese dishwashing liquid are able to eliminate bacteria and burnt fat even in very cold water.

In Europe, the production of detergents is also not far behind, however, there is a slight difference, both in price and quality. The European chemical industry is more focused on lowering the price than on a good result. One thing can be said with certainty - where the European detergent cannot cope, you should try the Japanese one.

As you can see, the history of modern detergents dates back only to the last century, but the result is superior to all traditional products. And now you just have to choose which dishwashing detergent you like.

Reading time: 2 minutes

Dishwashing detergent - their compositions and a testing review of these components in our article will show which one is better to use for cleaning children's and adult dishes, and which ones are unacceptable in household care. Beyond the video in this article

detailed instructions will be offered on how to use certain means in order to avoid negative consequences.

For all cleaning products, almost the same compositions are used. The base for them is taken from a mixture of components such as:

acids;
anionic substances.

Surfactants - active substances on the surface layer provide the very foam that supposedly “takes” dirt and grease with it from plates well. They also contribute to the tension of the water and lead to the dispersion of dirt. But there is an opinion that foam has nothing to do with cleanliness. In the composition, together with other components, foaming indicates the quality of the product, and only thanks to certain compounds, even the dirtiest dishes can be cleaned.

Types of surfactants	Decay	Impact
	As a result of electrical dissociation, such components form negative ions - anions.	Molecules of persistent contaminants have a positive effect, destroying the internal structure.
	Cations - are obtained as a result of the decay of positive surfactant particles.	Cations, giving a charge to destroy greasy stains, easily remove them from the surface of the plates, but they are not completely washed off, since part of the positive charge remains inside the molecules of the product.
	Nonionic surfactants are not subject to decay.	They do not affect the strong dirt molecule in any way, but they are also washed off the surface easily and quickly, providing an easy destruction of the structural layer of fat.

Tip: Since the nature of the soiling on each plate is different, manufacturers add different surfactants by their nature to the composition in order to ensure the fight against heavy and light soiling in a complex. Otherwise, you would have to buy several products - one for grease, another for simple washing, and a third for stubborn stains.

Testing

In order to understand how the main component of the fight against dirt behaves, we decided to test all the detergents, revealing the behavior of the particles in the process of exposure to a dirty layer on the dishes. During the research, a test was also carried out, which helped to identify the most active surfactant particles.

Salts of sulfonic acids Acid sulfonic esters
Alkyl sulfonates Alkylaryl sulfonates
Alkyl sulfates Sulfated fats
Sulfonated Oils Fatty Acids

It also turned out that the faerie dish detergent that is so popular contains polyethylene glycol ethers. Depending on the type of cleaning agents, their quantity varies. There are also non-ionic additives of new generations - polyalkyl glycosides, which have a lower degree of toxicity, are washed off faster, and are easier to cope with greasy stains. They "take care" of the skin of the hands, preventing it from drying out. The price of such funds is much higher due to modern production technologies, but the consumption takes more time to spend the entire bottle.

Earlier we talked about additional components, and below we present a photo and a list with names that are part of some tools:

Enzymes and enzymes Anti-resorbents
Salts of neutral acids Softeners
Perfumes Colorants
Preservatives Foam Stabilizers

They are needed for the decomposition of polysaccharides, proteins and fatty oils. Without this, the action of any of the strongest surfactant components is impossible, no matter how new it is in terms of manufacturing in the world of technology. To enhance all the resulting mixtures, other molecules are also added in the smallest doses:

Carbonates;
Sodium chlorides;
Phosphates;
Sodium polyphosphates;
Sodium citrates;
Zeolites;
Perborates;
Di- or trichloroisocyanurates.

They are also needed to remove the remnants of coffee, tea, fructose, dyes and natural color contaminants. Their auxiliary function is to disinfect dishes. Sometimes, the same frosh dish detergent may contain bleaches, reagents for the decomposition of sodium silicates. They can act as corrosion inhibitors when you clean hard metal utensils. Other series of this product can be used for dishwashers; and it will not suffer from scale due to the compatible sodium molecules.

Ability

Since many products are endowed with such a “saturated” composition, it’s a sin not to think, but what kind of ability do they carry for a simple dishwashing? Surely, you thought, if 1-2 components are needed by nature to fight fat, why all these amplifiers and other additives. Let's consider this question using the example of cleaning powder for dishes. It has a good analogue - Amway dish detergent, which has established itself as a herbal and natural set of the best herbs and grease and dirt removers. It will be written on the package - there is a surfactant, without specifying the area of extraction or production, additional components that are silent, etc.

Therefore, it's time to find out why the cost of natural products, as manufacturers say, is higher, and how they actually differ. Their ability to destroy body fat is the same, but differences are still present.

The substance is necessary to soften water, and thanks to it, the products seem natural, because it is plant components that can protect the skin from chemicals. Trilon B increases the ability of the whole product to work with dirt, and without it, no surfactants make sense.

The unrepeated deposition of fat over time and the absence of organic components are all the merit of this substance. All the dirt that comes into contact with the detergent can remain on the surface of the dishes again, but this is impossible, and all the grease is washed away with water, keeping the dirt particles inside the molecules.

Cumene and xylene sulfonate, urea and lower grade alcohols - all of them increase and enhance the degree of surfactant solubility in water. For example, have you noticed that myth dish detergent takes a long time to fade and is difficult to remove from the surface? It does not have these "good" molecules, but even without them it removes fat well. It is considered more natural, but difficult to obtain in some small towns.

Together with proteases and lipases, other enzymes, they well eliminate protein contaminants that cannot be removed and dissolved in water. The proof will be mom's dish detergent, which is recommended for washing baby's plates and cast iron pans.

We talked about them above, but in some imported products there are more of them than it should be according to domestic GOST. The cleaner foams well, the foam does not churn, does not wash off and can remain in the sink for a long time without water. This is the merit of alkylolamides.

Just like glycerin, allatoin and plant extracts, it has a good effect on the skin of the hands. More precisely, it prevents chemical compounds from settling on the skin, causing allergies. If there are a lot of them, dishwashing gloves will not be needed; but not all manufacturers indicate the exact amount of their presence.

As part of a detergent, it provides a protective film for hands, intensive evaporation of harmful moisture vapors; at the same time protects the dishes from the re-imposition of dirt. Often, milk molecules are found in the cosmetic industry to protect hands from cold and wind.

Detergency can also be determined by the presence of active hydrogen ions pH. The indicator will tell you if your remedy is harmful or neutral. Perhaps this is one of the main tasks for today, which will allow you to slightly open the curtain of the mysterious composition of the product. The pH value indicates an alkaline and acidic environment, and the stronger it is, the more dangerous your hands are.

Important! According to the requirement of GOST standards for the production of household chemicals, pH values can vary from 4.0 to 11.5. Neutral value - 6.0 - 7.0; which indicates the possibility of using such a detergent every day. The best remedy would be one that has a mark of 5.5 - this is a physiological composition for the skin that will never harm it.

Washability

The washability indicator is very important, as is the composition of the product itself. Let's say you use dishwashing gel, but you are not satisfied with the formation of foam, the result of washing, and the remnants of the product are not always a pleasant thing. It is difficult to wash it off, so many people switch to the liquid type of components in the bottle. Dishwashing detergent drop is claimed to be the safest and "longest lasting" compared to similar products. A drop of product, and you will wash the whole mountain of dishes, which means that it should be hard to wash off, since so little is needed for a large amount of work.

However, this indicator speaks of something else - the ability to wash off the product with water along with dirt, and not a pure product. Surfactants are difficult to wash off by nature, and in order to provide a clean glossy surface, some impurities must be added so that everything is removed without residue.

Surfactant type	Washability index
	According to GOST, the limits of indicators from 0.1 mg / dm 3 are established.
	Not more than 0.5 mg / dm 3 according to global standards, since domestic manufacturers rarely use anionic types of surfactants.
	Up to 0.01 mg / dm 3, which are contained in children's products, and up to 0.05 mg / dm 3 for adults.

Tip: For washing children's dishes, it is better to choose those bottles that are clearly written - surfactants of neutral or vegetable origin. They do not enter the child's body with food, they are well removed from the surface.

Technical component

By testing all household cleaning products, we highlight several products that are ideal for washing dishes for adults and children. The analysis will reveal the technical component:

Ergonomics;
Reliability of the declared information;
Color;
Smell;
Foaming;
Wash;
Removal of fatty deposits;
Effect on the skin.

Using a pH meter, a laboratory-type test will be carried out, which will reveal all the indicators of the undiluted composition of detergents. For work, you will need a liquid detergent for washing dishes " vixan».

During the study, an I-130 M ion meter will be needed to determine the quality of the composition of the detergent.

Foaming was evaluated on a scale. By shaking the pure product - 0.5 ml + 50 ml of water by applying the same force. However, other manufacturers were also tested. So, Korean dish detergent is distinguished by its speed of fat breakdown. In just 34 seconds, all oils and stains were removed.

The ability to remove fat deposits was evaluated as follows - sunflower oil was applied to dry glass. The application area was 1 cm 2 .

Place the glass in a 5% detergent solution and wait for the reaction. Low foaming was observed, while Minute Dishwasher showed the highest performance at this stage. It also did a good job of removing dirt and grease, but it had to be washed off several times.

This stage of the experiment took 1.15 minutes.

First, the oil spot contracted, and then floated to the surface under the action of the surfactant. " Aweigh The oils dissolved and disappeared. Here are the changes that took place in the chronology of events.

Separately, I want to say about the balm and the concentration in the gel. Cinderella dish detergent, which does wonders for greasy stains, contains milk and aloe vera extract, which is already considered the basis of the reliability and quality of the product.

Children's funds

The detergent for children's dishes was also subject to detailed analysis. After reviewing the manufacturer's information, a test was also performed, which made it possible to identify a relatively safe cleaning agent in all respects.

Eared Nian

The product for children's dishes is not produced in Russia, but in Ukraine, according to the barcode. There are also only common names of the components. Earlier we said that its composition, like a powder, has a more saturated concentration of substances. Now let's look at all the components in the table.

	Has faceted sides to make it comfortable to hold in your hand.
	Inconvenient in design, since part of the product is collected in the annular niche, and after closing everything flows down the walls of the bottle.
	Thick, transparent. It does not have a strong smell, but resembles a mixture of perfume and chemical fragrances.
	pH = 7.63, which refers to the alkaline environment.
	Foaming is good, all 250 ml per cylinder.
	Handles fat well. Immersed glass with oil immediately disappears before our eyes.
	After 1 minute, the oil stain was almost gone.
	The oil dissolves slowly, although the manufacturer talks about the rapid removal of stains.
	Complete dissolution was achieved after 5.4 minutes. It's long, but practical. The skin of the hands sometimes dries, especially dry.

Tip: Nanny's eared dish detergent works well on grease, but it's a good idea to wear protective gloves when cleaning.

Japanese funds

We carried out a similar analysis for the imported Pigeon tool. The manufacturer assures that they can also wash toys, fruits and vegetables. But is it really so, and is the process safe?

The dispenser on the bottle is handy.
The product does not dry out hands.
There is an antibacterial base.
Washes off completely and easily with water.
Contains no dyes or phosphates.
Sucrose ester and citric acid speak of 100% natural ingredients.
Enough for 400 applications.

There are some varieties, and it is also not always possible to buy in ordinary supermarkets.

Clear liquid Good foam Economical bottle
Foam soap bag For bottlesFor bottles and vegetables and vegetables

As you can see, Japanese dish detergent comes in different sizes, each of which can also be used to wash toys, bottles and nipples. At the same time, there are no additional or replacement components in the composition.

The best remedy

And now the final of our testing comes to the main conclusion - the best dish detergent has been determined, which has special properties, a good environment and a safe composition. Sama is one of the most environmentally friendly solutions, the concentrate of which can be considered neutral on the pH scale. It is better for children to choose dish detergent with a relative physiological concentration of 5.5 pH. A representative of this characteristic is Frosch baby, although dishwashing detergent for adults has a different composition from this. Pay attention to this.

Also, when choosing the strongest cleansers that can remove grease within 3-5 minutes, give preference to those that contain extracts and milks, rather than fragrances. The alkaline environment there is weak or absent. Therefore, by reading the composition, you can roughly determine which remedy is in front of you - acidic or alkaline, with or without a smell. More about this in the video.

Reading time: 2 minutes

Synthetic detergents: The classification and purpose of these detergents is different from conventional products. They consist of soap solutions, where the main component is a synthetic base. They can clean hard tissues from a wide variety of contaminants, and you will learn more about them from the video in this article:

and selected materials.

As a composition, many manufacturers use vegetable and artificial components. Additionally, they may contain the following components:

Anion active;
Cationic;
Amphoteric;
non-ionic;
Other surfactants.

The chemical composition also protects the fabric from repeated settling of dust and dirty particles - resorption. What is resorption, how is it manifested and achieved? An additional layer of substances that coat the tissues and prevent their contamination for some time. At the same time, all things can be subjected to different influences - they will not get dirty in any way. Modern synthetic detergents contain surfactants that are biodegradable up to 98%, while conventional components are only 90% biodegradable.

There are also separate components that are included in the general set of all synthetic ingredients of any detergent.

Surfactants and their classifiers are determined by the degree of effectiveness due to the presence of corrosive and alkaline bases in them.

Slow down the degree of corrosion on household appliances, scale and hygroscopicity of powder products.

Contribute to the rapid dissolution of powders, ensure the flowability of particles and the ash content of fabrics.

Prevents the resorption of dirt for delicate washings, protects wool and delicate fabrics.

Provides whiteness to fabrics that are exposed to intense persalt and hydrogen peroxide.

Create optical whiteness due to pink and blue shades.

Needed to remove fats of vegetable origin.

Eliminate the effects of static electricity.

Important! When choosing a synthetic detergent, proceed from the category of destination of the goods. All detergents can be used for washing ceramics, fabrics, coatings, sealants and personal goods.

Kinds

In appearance, some synthetic detergents may differ in appearance. There are several categories for cleaning components regarding washing clothes:

May occur in the form of solid lumpy products ( soap), powdered ( granules, liquid, pasty by state).

Universal, for washing cotton and colored fabrics, for dense and thin fibers. For soaking and gentle treatment, all synthetic powders are subject to registration and certification.

For automatic and hand washing, with less or more foam function.

Important! According to GOST 25644-88 all powders should have a uniform consistency, smell and color. Standards for GOST 22567.14-93 prescribe provisions specifying the requirements for imported laundry detergents.

At the same time, pasty powders should not be heterogeneous, and dry ones should not have moisture. Packing is determined by the development of packs of 300, 450, 600 and 900 gr. Excess weight is penalized, weight from 901 grams and above is delivered in plastic bags. Polymer jars can contain liquid powders for up to 12 months.

Manufacturing

Manufacturers do not have the right to talk about the specific ratio of particles in powder products, but they accurately indicate the compositions and proportions of the ingredients they have taken.

Production begins with the choice of the purpose of the funds. These can be powders, household chemicals and shampoos. Synthetic components are often used in the automotive industry. As a rule, all washing gels have similar solutions, but their ratio is determined by the quality of the wash. If there is no defoamer, the washing machine will not cope with the load, and poor foaming can poorly remove the remnants of dirty particles, which, as a result of resorption, can no longer settle on clothes, staining them again.

	They are used to create foamy detergents, mainly for shampoos and shower gels. It is based on the well-known carboxybetaine.
	Primary fatty alcohols are essential for making biodegradable powders. They provide good wettability of products, as well as stable fixation of the structure of foam formations.
	These include those substances that decompose by 100%, biodegradable by 80%, degradable by 30% and non-degradable by less than 30%. These include various compounds of sulfates and phenols.
	Some synthetic components require organic soap ( C20-C22), which serves as a defoamer for calcium ions and non-removable stearate.
	Thanks to the alkaline environment, they allow dirt to quickly move into the environment of this balance without being restored. This range is suitable for cotton and synthetics. And colored fabrics need a versatile powder that doesn't contain as much alkali or the color will fade.
	The golden mean of the alkaline environment and properly selected components allows you to wash things in soft water, where soap deposits completely disappear, and three-charged salt ions help keep the metal of the equipment clean.

So far, not a single manufacturer has found a golden mean that would fit according to GOST. Tripolyphosphates must be supplemented with citric acid in an industrial chemical sense, otherwise all pollution with soap suds will completely affect the environment due to the causticity of the substance. The problem has not yet been solved, but technologists are actively looking for an acid that could be compatible with alkali.

Performance

After creating SMS, you need to launch an advertising project, presenting a new product on the market. It also has its own rules of marketing and advertising. A brand that is already known in the market sends a message about the release of the product, prepares an appeal to the media, and then distributes the manufactured batch to countries. New products ( shampoos, household chemical units, soaps, etc.) are checked for compliance.

If a trademark appears along with the product's entry into the market, the presentation takes place in several stages.

Packaging Organization Slogan
Video Develop Instructions
Validity and Permissions License
Presenting properties Gaining notoriety

The most interesting thing is that only after obtaining the necessary licenses, the manufacturer can deal with labels. The instruction is prepared at the last moment, when the presentation of the product is precisely planned.

Peculiarities

New products should always differ in at least some criterion, while the properties of the internal content remain unchanged.

The manufacturer or importer can set the market price himself - 20-30% cheaper or 10% as a gift when buying such a set. Stickers are printed by representative companies.

When it comes to a new furniture polish, the manufacturer can only change the mixture by adding new features to it. For example, the degree of protection is increased, or the shelf life is extended. In this case, everything is registered in regulatory documents.

If you are assured that now the new "Frosya" washes better, but the mixture has not changed in any way ( nothing added on the label), do not buy such products. Everything is pure marketing ploy to attract customers and bypass competitors.

The container itself may not be sustainable, but may have features such as disintegration or micro-degradability. Recently introduced biological plastic bags, which, it turned out, do not even burn. Carefully inspect the container and the weight indicated on it. Due to dense materials, manufacturers attribute the mass of the package to the contents inside, as if giving the buyer imaginary numbers.

If the value fell sharply, a sale began, promotions appeared " 2 for the price of 1”, carefully inspect the tightness of the package, its expiration date. It's not a sin to open a jar of shampoo, smell it, look at the consistency. Some products may not be properly stored resulting in moisture.

Tip: If possible, touch new powders, gels, pastes and wool wash balls with your own hands.

Pros and cons

Means of synthetic origin have their pros and cons. We will look at the main selection criteria, tell you what you can expect from such products, and visually present the consequences of using detergents.

	Synthetic granules are able to wash things even in sea water, despite its density.
	In most cases, solutions are neutral or slightly alkaline.
	After use, they slowly decompose and pollute the environment.
	The active substances quickly destroy the dirt, fixing it by resorption.
	Some surfactant additives can dry out and irritate the skin. At the same time, such a reaction is observed among 30% of people, the rest may not feel any allergies at all, but this fact does not mean that it has completely passed them.
	Synthetics, in comparison with vegetable fats, will never be in short supply. Availability is higher than that of the same soap.
	The low cost is due to new and simple methods of obtaining raw materials for the manufacture of such substances.
	They preserve animal fats without destroying the structure of fibers and skin. They do not have oil bases and do not eliminate natural substances and their molecules.
	The high-molecular structure allows you to choose a convenient type of product - solid, liquid or paste. At the same time, the effect of the latter is better, since it does not require the cost of drying machines to maintain humidity.

As you can see, there are more advantages, and buyers notice this fact by the results of use, and by the price range.
And, despite their advantages and disadvantages, always proceed from your needs. Rare allergic reactions, childhood dermatitis and other diseases, which resulted in non-natural components, are not excluded. Always choose from a comparison only in practice, without listening to advice, because in the matter of a personal remedy, the task is individual.

It is impossible to imagine modern life without detergents and cleaning products. They help save time spent on laundry and cleaning, maintain proper sanitary conditions at home and in public places, and ensure proper care of household appliances, cars, etc. In addition, the more densely populated cities and countries, the more acute the issue of timely disinfection becomes in order to avoid epidemiological situations.

You can't do without household chemicals. However, when using it, one should not forget that any chemistry has two sides of the coin, unfortunately also negative. Only high quality chemicals can guarantee complete safety for human health.

Types of detergents

Modern means for maintaining cleanliness are presented in a huge variety: by purpose, by the principle of action and by "appearance". These are products for residential and industrial premises, for dishes, washing or appliances, in the form of a free-flowing powder, gel, paste or liquid. But most of them are united by one main component - surfactants (surfactants) that make up the product. The production of detergents and cleaners is not so complicated: the necessary ingredients are mixed in accordance with GOST standards, dried (if required by the technology) and packaged. It remains only to pack the finished products and send them to the points of sale.

Environmental

The fact that the harm caused by many household products is proven and undeniable, many housewives began to look for a more “healthy” alternative. Considering that both the health of people and the “health” of the planet are being harmed, such searches are very commendable. Someone is trying to return to the folk old ways of cleaning, but such options are only suitable on a small scale, and even then not always. At present, science has found this compromise between purity and environmental friendliness by releasing chemical household products that do not contain harmful components such as surfactants, chlorine-containing components and phenols. It is very pleasant to state that in the pursuit of naturalness of household cleaning chemicals, the quality of its “work” has not suffered, but, on the contrary, has become even more effective.

Synthetic

Synthetic detergents and cleaners currently account for the lion's share of the entire market. They "fell in love" with consumers for their affordable price, good cleaning data and versatility. The composition of such products may include additional synthetic additives that improve the interaction of contaminated surfaces with cleaning components. However, despite all the positive aspects, in order to maintain a healthy environment in the house, it is advisable to reduce the use of such products to the necessary minimum, and keep household chemicals in careful isolation.

Detergent range

In all the variety of household chemicals that are offered to us from store shelves, it is very easy to get confused. It is worth considering that all household chemicals are divided not only according to the principle of direct use and form of release, but also according to concentration and volume. The fact is that the same tool can be produced for home use, or it can be intended for use on an “industrial” scale. For cleaning the house, a small package is enough, while it is more profitable for companies providing cleaning services to purchase concentrated products in large containers.

Such concentrated products in bulk containers are professional detergents. Such products also indicate for which contaminants and surfaces they are intended, as well as what professional equipment can be used. In addition to cleaning companies, such professional tools are used in offices and public places. Professional chemistry of domestic production is supplied to cleaning companies by Donaticus.

for dishes

Among the means without which a modern housewife cannot imagine life are dishwashing detergents. They are one of those who are used in the house on a daily basis. Most often, housewives decide to “create” a dish detergent with their own hands under duress: a desire to save money, an allergy to funds from one of the family members, and so on. Most often, dishwashing detergents are bought ready-made, and a number of requirements are imposed on them:

the product should easily cope with grease and pollution;
do not include harmful components;
preferably antibacterial action;
Rinse off easily and thoroughly with water.

Busy and modern housewives appreciate the charms of the dishwasher. Such a machine also facilitates the work of catering workers and office workers. Dishwashing detergent intended for hand washing should not be used in the machine. For appliances, separate products have been developed that perfectly cope with grease and soiling dishes, but at the same time take care of the parts and systems of the dishwasher, they are also easier to wash off and do not leave marks on the surface of the dishes. All these requests are satisfied by the means of the company "Solklean".

There are many ways. Detergents and cleaning products are also suitable for this.

Zelenka can also be a detergent or cleaner.

For cleaning rooms

In all public spaces - from offices to hotels - not only horizontal surfaces (floor) but also walls (panels, for example) need to be thoroughly cleaned. In addition, it is necessary to constantly maintain the cleanliness of rugs and carpets, as well as upholstery of upholstered furniture. A variety of products for ceramic tiles, parquet and laminate, glass and polished surfaces come to the rescue. Each institution sets its own priorities when choosing one or another means, for example, hotels want safe cleanliness to preserve the health of vacationers.

In addition to the detergents and cleaning products themselves, modern technology, such as washing vacuum cleaners, helps in the difficult work of maintaining order and hygiene. They significantly save time and effort of employees, the quality of cleaning and disinfection of surfaces significantly increases. For such equipment, special professional household chemicals should be used. She is expected to:

maximum level of disinfection;
antistatic effect;
water softening and low foam formation;
high concentration for economic benefit.

Such professional floor cleaners are also available for hand washing. At the same time, these products are no different, and the main advantage of professional products is their high concentration, which significantly reduces the cost of buying household chemicals. Whatever tool you choose - for home or professional - do not forget about the rules of caution, follow the instructions for the tool and work with gloves. Then the benefits brought by household chemicals - cleanliness and light work - will not have side effects.

Washing windows has also become much easier today - window cleaners have significantly reduced the time spent and significantly improved the quality of washing. If you are a happy owner of plastic windows, then when choosing a suitable product, pay attention to its safety in relation to the PVC frame. Not all are suitable: gasoline- and acid-containing products, as well as those containing solvents, will harm the frame and sealing gum.

For cars

Technical detergents include products for cars, they are available in two types: for washing by hand and with the help of equipment. There is no cardinal difference between them, except that in order to use the latter, you will have to acquire additional equipment: a foam concentrate and a hose with good water pressure. It is these technical means that are used in car washes: the means are applied to the car, left for some time and removed along with the dirt by strong water pressure.

Among washing professional technical chemistry, you can even find products for an automobile motor. They easily and effortlessly remove dust, dirt, soot and similar contaminants. Such professional care can greatly facilitate the operation of the engine and extend the life of the car, so you should not ignore engine cleaning. Someone decides to do this work in their own way, at home, but most prefer (and rightly so) to entrust the cleaning of the engine of their car to specialists.

For carpets

Carpets, whether in homes or offices or other public places, need constant care and proper cleaning. The larger and more expensive the carpet, the more difficult it is to clean.

For example, the carpet covering the entire floor in the lobby of the hotel cannot be washed by hand, but it gets dirty very and constantly due to the large number of people passing by. In such situations, carpet cleaners are very helpful. As a rule, when using such special tools, you can do almost without water, which is very convenient and fast. After processing with a well-chosen product, the carpet just needs to be vacuumed. Such cleaning not only removes visible stains and dirt, but also takes care of the villi and the color of the carpet, for example, the products of the Ecolife line are suitable.

Children are the most touching and most defenseless group of the population. They react faster than adults to an unhealthy environment, exposure to household chemicals and harmful fumes. The task of adults is to protect them. In every home, it is preferable to have baby detergents for everything that children touch: clothes, dishes, toys, etc. Ideally, if these are organic products of European quality, because they:

do not contain fragrances;
suitable even for allergy sufferers;
cope well with pollution;
do not include phosphates, synthetic dyes, surfactants and other harmful components.
