Detergent

Dishwashing liquid is an essential component in the household when it comes to thoroughly cleaning dishes, cutlery, and pots. It not only helps to remove grease, food residues, and unpleasant odors, but also contributes to hygiene in the kitchen. But what makes a good dishwashing liquid, and what should you look for when choosing one?

What is dishwashing liquid and how does it work?

Hand dishwashing liquid, often also referred to as dish cleaner, consists of surfactants that have grease-dissolving properties. These surfactants reduce the surface tension of the water and allow it to envelop and rinse away grease and dirt particles. High-quality dishwashing liquids leave no residues and ensure that the dishes shine and smell fresh after washing.

What should you consider when buying dishwashing detergents?

When buying dishwashing detergents, there are several aspects to consider:

• Cleaning performance: A good dishwashing detergent removes even stubborn dirt without the need for heavy scrubbing. It should be equally effective, regardless of the water temperature.
• Skin compatibility: Since dishwashing detergents are often in direct contact with the skin, it is important that they are gentle on the skin. Therefore, pH-neutral dishwashing detergents are often offered. Many products contain nourishing additives like Aloe Vera or are declared as particularly skin-friendly.
• Environmental compatibility: More and more people are paying attention to environmentally friendly cleaning products. Dishwashing detergents with biodegradable ingredients and sustainable packaging are therefore a good choice. Dr. Schnell green & mild eco efficient ecological hand dishwashing detergent cleans particularly gently. The SUN Pro Formula Classic dishwashing tablets are also an environmentally friendly choice as they contain fewer harmful chemicals than conventional dishwashing detergents.
• Scent and additives: Dishwashing detergents come in various scents, from lemon (Rösch Danny Lemon Power) to apple to neutral variants. Those who are sensitive to fragrances should opt for a product without artificial additives.
• Glass cleaner: For professional glass washing machines, as commonly found in the catering industry, a special cleaning agent is required. The Dr. Becher KR920 Glass Cleaner or the Dr. Becher Becharein Glass Washing Tabs are particularly suitable for this.

Tips for the correct use of dishwashing detergents

To achieve the best results, hand dishwashing detergents should be used sparingly and according to the degree and type of dirt. For stubborn encrustations, it is recommended to soak the dishes briefly. After washing, the dishes should be thoroughly rinsed with clear water to avoid residues.
