Soaps and Detergents

Persil laundry detergent came onto the scene in 1907 when other detergents were just powdered soap. Persil's had two ingredients the others didn't have, perborate and silicate. These combined to make small oxygen bubbles that took some of the work out of the traditional washboard method.

No, Harpic toilet cleaner should not be used as a substitute for laundry detergent to make slime. It contains harsh chemicals that could be harmful if touched or ingested. It is best to use safe ingredients like glue, borax, or contact lens solution when making slime.

Soap will dissolve in water, oils, and alcohols due to its amphiphilic nature. This allows it to interact with both polar and non-polar molecules, making it effective for cleaning a variety of substances.

When a soap bubble is charged, it experiences electrostatic forces that cause repulsion between like charges on the bubble's surface. This repulsion leads to an increase in the bubble's area as it expands to minimize the electrostatic potential energy of the system. This phenomenon is governed by Coulomb's law, which describes the interaction between charged particles.

To remove a soap dispenser that is glued to the wall, you can try heating the adhesive using a hairdryer to soften it and then gently pry the dispenser off with a putty knife. If the adhesive is stubborn, you may also use a commercial adhesive remover to help dissolve it before attempting to remove the dispenser. Be sure to follow any safety instructions provided with the adhesive remover.

Most dish soaps do not contain formaldehyde as an active ingredient. However, some industrial-strength cleaning products or specialty dish soaps may contain trace amounts of formaldehyde as a preservative. It's important to read product labels and ingredients lists to confirm if formaldehyde is present.

Imperial Leather soap typically contains ingredients such as sodium palmate, sodium palm kernelate, water, glycerin, parfum, sodium chloride, tetrasodium EDTA, etidronic acid, citronellol, and titanium dioxide. It is always best to check the packaging for the most up-to-date list of ingredients.

The first detergent with stain-removing enzymes was introduced in the 1960s and was called ERA. The enzymes in ERA helped break down and remove tough stains from clothing, setting a new standard for detergent effectiveness.

The company website is no help, as any good company will tell you their product is better than that of their competitors. Detergents can be a very personal thing and deciding which is better will come after trying several out and talking to friends and family.

Money soap is unique because it contains actual money inside each bar, typically ranging from a few dollars to larger denominations. This makes it a fun and interactive way to encourage handwashing, with the added surprise of finding money as the soap is used up.

One effect of soap and detergent in hard water is it will not lather as well as it does in soft water. This can affect the way the soap or detergent cleans in hard water making them less effective.

Liquid detergent is a cleaning agent in liquid form that is used for washing clothes, dishes, or other surfaces. It is typically formulated with surfactants, enzymes, and other chemicals to help break down and remove dirt and stains during the cleaning process. Liquid detergents are popular for their convenience and ease of use compared to powdered detergents.

Yes, you can melt soap in the microwave. Cut the soap into small pieces, place them in a microwave-safe container, and heat them in short intervals, stirring in between to ensure even melting. Be cautious not to overheat the soap to prevent it from boiling or burning.

The chemical industry.

Soap manufacture is the boiling of sodium hydroxide with stearic acid.

Here is the chemical eq'n

CH3(CH2)16COOH + NaOH = CH3(CH2)16COO^-Na^+ (soap) + H2O

ThaT IS THE BASIS OF SOAP MAKING.

However, many modern soaps have perfumes, oils added etc., to soften the astringency of sodium stearate.

Other soaps/detergents are wholly organic chemicals/enzzymes, so that they react without much heat.

Lye soap is a classic product that is rarely used currently for commercial use. The most common ingredient in this soap is sodium hydroxide. Other products vary by the manufacturer, but typically include fragrances and fats like lard.

Open the detergent dispenser drawer located on the top left side of the washer. Add the appropriate amount of detergent for your load size in the designated compartment. Close the dispenser drawer and start the washing cycle.

Common ingredients in homemade laundry detergent include washing soda, borax, grated bar soap (such as Fels-Naptha), and optional essential oils for fragrance. These ingredients are mixed together to create a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to store-bought detergents.

No, sanitizers typically do not combine disinfectants and detergents. Sanitizers are designed to reduce the number of bacteria on surfaces to safe levels, while disinfectants are designed to kill a broader range of microorganisms. Detergents are used to remove dirt and grime but do not necessarily have the same antimicrobial properties as disinfectants or sanitizers.

It is not recommended to use laundry detergent to wash dishes because it may contain ingredients that could be harmful if ingested. Laundry detergent can also be more abrasive on delicate dishware and may not rinse off as easily, leaving residue on your dishes. It's best to use dish soap specifically formulated for washing dishes.

Serials got the nickname "Soap Operas" because they were interspaced with commercials for soap. As housewives were the main audience, soap manufacturers were the main sponsors.

Detergent for dishwashers is a specialized cleaning agent that removes food particles, grease, and stains from dishes during the wash cycle. It helps to break down the dirt and grime on dishes and glasses, allowing them to be cleaned effectively by the dishwasher's spray arms and jets. Additionally, dishwasher detergent helps prevent spots and residues on dishes, leaving them clean and shiny.

I'm pretty sure the solid bar of soap doesn't fluff up, and I assume that you're

describing the behavior of the lather. That fluffs up because the little bit of air

inside each bubble expands when it's heated, and each little bubble grows.

Soap is a surfactant, meaning it lowers the surface tension of water and allows it to interact more easily with oils and grease, helping to lift them off surfaces. It consists of molecules with a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail, allowing it to surround and remove dirt and oil from surfaces. Soap is also able to form a lather when agitated with water, which helps in the cleaning process.

Tide detergent is typically blue in color.

Concentrated sodium hydroxide is used in the preparation of soap because it helps facilitate the saponification process, which is the reaction that converts fats or oils into soap. The high concentration of sodium hydroxide ensures a faster and more efficient reaction, resulting in the formation of soap. Additionally, concentrated sodium hydroxide helps to ensure that the desired pH level is achieved in the final soap product.
