Dishwashers are common in some countries and relatively rare in others, but there is no doubt that a dishwasher can make your life much easier, especially if you have a big family. If you’re thinking about investing in one, you should keep in mind that you will also need to buy specially formulated dishwasher detergent. We recommend that you opt for eco-friendly dishwasher powder for a number of reasons.
All detergent products are formulated with surfactants (short for surface active agents). These compounds lower the surface tension between water and a surface, helping to remove impurities from the surface. There are several main groups of surfactants: anionic, cationic, amphoteric (zwitterionic), and non-ionic. They differ from each other in molecule structure and properties.
Surfactants are common active ingredients in various cosmetic products (for example, shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, etc.) and household detergents. Unfortunately, not all of them are safe for our health or/and the environment, which has been a matter of considerable concern lately.
The main problem is that some surfactants are non-biodegradable or take a lot of time to break down fully. As a result, they accumulate in water and soil, which can pose a significant environmental risk due to the volume of surfactants released into the environment by multiple households on a daily basis.
When it comes to dishwashing, surfactants can also pose certain health risks. First, they can irritate the skin by disrupting its protective lipid membrane. Second, if the dishes are not rinsed properly, dishwashing detergent residue builds up and enters your body with food, which can lead to health problems.
Due to this, more and more people are choosing dishwashing liquids and dishwasher detergents formulated with biodegradable non-ionic surfactants that break down relatively quickly and don’t irritate the skin. Many non-ionic surfactants are derived from plants, for example, saponins are found in soapwort and soapnuts.
Plant-based surfactants work well even in hard water, are effective even at low water temperatures, and are biodegradable. They are safe for both human health and the environment.
People who care about the world they live in are switching to eco-friendly laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents and household cleaners, which do not contain harmful substances that pollute water and soil. These products include, for example, Grün TAB Original dishwasher powder.
This eco-friendly dishwasher powder is produced by Elfa, a well-known Ukrainian-Polish group of companies that produces a wide range of cosmetics and household products. Its formula is based on natural non-ionic surfactants that are combined with active oxygen and enzymes to effectively remove grease, food residue and other impurities even in cold water.
Unlike many other dishwasher products, Grün TAB dishwasher powder does not leave any streaks, leaving the dishes squeaky clean and shiny. It can be used without rinse aid. It is formulated with a natural fragrance that leaves a very light fresh scent.
Grün TAB dishwasher powder is free of anionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, phosphates, silicates, zeolites and chlorine compounds, which can be bad not only for the environment, but also for your health. The brand’s eco-friendly dishwasher powder is very unlikely to cause allergic reactions, as well as 100% safe for human and animals. The product is certified vegan, which means that it is free of animal ingredients and have not been tested on animals.
