You do not need to be a great chemist to understand the difference between industrial detergents and home-made analogues:
- Almost all store products for washing have surface-active agents( surfactants).They, in fact, and are responsible for the quality of washing. These components destroy the bond between tissue fibers and contamination. But also they are very poorly rinsed off clothes and harm the human body, getting into it through the pores of the skin. Homemade gel for laundry from household soap, as a rule, does not carry such a risk.
- Industrial powders and liquid detergents often contain phosphates or phosphate compounds. They soften the water and help to wash the most difficult spots. At the same time, these components are very dangerous for human health, as they destroy its immune system. Homemade phosphates are not added.
- Prepared self-washing gel for the machine is suitable for hand washing. Industrial products, due to different amounts of foaming agents in the composition, should be used for the recommended purpose.
- Homemade soap-based detergents effectively cope with contamination on tissues not only at high temperatures, but also at low enough.
- Home-made preparations do not produce harsh unpleasant odors.
- All components that are part of the prepared gel for washing at home are absolutely harmless to humans, provided that the prescription doses are observed.
- The cost of a homemade detergent is much lower than any store.
- It is not difficult to prepare a detergent at home. All recipes for self-laundering gels are very simple and quick to perform.
Disadvantages of prepared self-washed gels:
- A homemade product based on soap that dissolves poorly in cold water. Therefore, water should have at least 40 degrees for the full action of the gel.
Important! If things need to be washed in cold water( temperature less than 40 degrees), then the gel is pre-dissolved in warm water and covered in a drum machine.
- Calcined soda, which is part of the home-made gel for washing, although it is more effective, but leads to fading colors on clothes. Therefore, for washing bright colors it is recommended to use baking soda instead of this component. This will significantly reduce the washing result, but will save the colors.
Important! This technique is relevant for low-contaminated items, which you just need to refresh. If you want to wash off serious stains, then baking soda with this is unlikely to cope.
- If you often use a washing gel from laundry soap and soda ash, things will quickly wear out, lose their shape and look. Therefore, the product with technical soda should be added when washing only heavily soiled laundry.
Important! If you add a teaspoon of fine salt to the washing machine before you load it into the washing machine, the chances of maintaining bright colors on clothes will increase significantly.
