What do the bubbles in our dishwashing liquids actually do?

What are bubbles and what is the point?
Washing the dishes: it starts with a squeeze of dish soap, a few swishes of the sponge, followed by a water rinse to get off all those soap suds. But what are the bubbles and why are they there?
Those tiny bubbles in the soap suds are created by foaming agents combining with water and air, but what are they doing when I’m washing the dishes, and do I need loads of bubbles?

Essentially, a washing up liquid, which typically contains alkylbenzene sulphonate as the main detergent, foams strongly at first use and then less as the grease concentration increases in the washing-up water.

However, and here’s the crux of the matter, seeing foam doesn’t mean you’re seeing cleaning power in action. Foam itself offers very little in terms of getting the dishes clean, it’s mostly for aesthetic.

Foam does allow the wetting agents, detergents, and degreasers enough time to do their jobs. Foam allows the cleaning detergent to sit on surfaces for longer, helping to pe*****te into grease, oil, fats and other caked on grime. Foam is basically a sidekick to detergents, but grease globules can still slide off the plates if a good wetting agent is present.

So, does foam affect the clean?
Dishwashing liquids use surfactants to clean your dishes. These compounds break down the surface tension of water which makes it a lot easier for it to dissolve things like fat; they allow cleaning agents to pe*****te and dissolve anything on the surface of whatever is being cleaned.
Without suds, people can’t see the soap working, so foam is used as evidence of efficacy, which it is not.

But surfactants and cleaning compounds don’t naturally generate bubbles. Therefore, companies add foaming agents. They believe that we’ll think the dishes are cleaner if we can see bubbles in the sink while we’re washing them.

Television advertisements will often compare the amount of foam in their dishwashing liquid to another to prove that theirs is superior or to imply that the amount of foam reflects the cleaning ability of their product: “with suds that last and last”.

Cleaners and septic tank care

Disinfectant overkill?
You may not have heard of quats, but you’ve definitely come into contact with them.
Quats are registered as pesticides with the Environmental Protection Agency yet are incredibly common and found in household cleaning products such as disinfectants, dishwashing liquids, antibacterial soap, disinfectant sprays and wipes, toilet bowl cleaners, window cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, floor products, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, automatic dishwashing detergents, baby care products, air fresheners, even shampoo: anything that advertises antimicrobial activity or is designed to kill germs.

Quats are the stuff that allows a product to claim to be antibacterial.

Quats do effectively kill many kinds of microbes like E. Coli and Staph. Aureus, but many claim they are total overkill for your everyday cleaning needs and that there are serious potential side effects that come with that killing power.

The use of quats should be avoided, for a number of reasons: the widespread overuse of quats is creating superbugs, bacteria, and fungi with the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them, and antibacterials can contribute to asthma, breathing problems, skin irritation and rashes.

Potential harm for septic systems
We’re going to focus on the negative impact quats can on your septic system. Too many harsh chemicals kill the microbes that are essential to the separation of waste in our septic systems, and also end up in the surrounding ecosystems and poison nearby waterways.

How to dilute cleaning products

Why is it important to dilute chemicals?
The “glug-glug” method: we’re probably all aware of this method of mixing cleaning chemicals and concentrates. I know I’ve been guilty of it.

However, this haphazard combining of chemicals without the right knowledge, care and careful pre-measuring is expensive and it’s dangerous. Add to that, cleaning products do not clean as well when they are improperly diluted, making all that hard work pointless.

More is not always better
In fact, based on my experience, it hardly ever is. Using more product than specified can damage surfaces, void warranties, waste money and put those mixing the cleaning products at risk from chemical fumes due to the high concentration of chemicals. On the other hand, over-diluting may see you or your staff waste time and effort.

Dilution rates are there for a reason
Using cleaning liquids effectively isn’t as simple as splattering some cleaning liquid around and wiping it off. Manufacturers set dilution rates for a reason. Cleaning chemicals are formulated to work best at certain dilution ratios. Ignoring directions could be dangerous, costly as well as give poor results.

It’s a common misunderstanding that adding more chemical to the dilution will create a stronger mix to get a better outcome. This is not a good idea for the environment, your wallet or the health of the person doing the cleaning.

Take a surface disinfectant for example. If the directions specify 1:4 ratio or say 10 mls per litre to kill all the viruses listed on the label, what would you accomplish by adding more product? No more germs will be killed, and your floor or surface could in fact become sticky, and streaky. Conversely, cleaning an area with a product that is too diluted could be a waste of time, effort and endanger others as the germs and bacteria won’t have been removed.

Neither scenario is a good one, so always follow your manufacturer’s dilution specifications.

Why choose phosphate free detergents?

What are phosphates and why do we worry about them?
A switch by consumers to phosphate-free detergents could lead to significant improvements in our waterways which are increasingly threatened by phosphate pollution.

Phosphates are chemical compounds containing phosphorus (a naturally occurring mineral) and oxygen, as well as other minerals, such as calcium and sodium. Crucial for plant growth and development, it is estimated that half the world’s food supplies rely on phosphate fertilisers. However, phosphates also affect water quality.

Phosphate pollution in streams, rivers and other waterways leads to big blooms of algae that swamp aquatic plants and starve fish and other water creatures of oxygen. Phosphates feed the algae, which grow out of control, creating imbalances that destroy other life forms and produce harmful toxins.

Phosphate leads to widespread pollution
Excess phosphates create water that's cloudy and low in oxygen. All plants need phosphates to grow, but too many of them in water results in algal blooms which reduce the sunlight available to other plants. When the algae and other plants then die, the bacteria that breaks them down uses the available oxygen in the water, suffocating other aquatic life.

According to the WWF, each kilogram of phosphorus that reaches the sea can produce up to 500 kilograms of algae. As an example quoted on their site, phosphates from detergents are estimated to have contributed between 9 and 24 percent (or 3,000-6,000 tonnes per year) of all anthropogenic phosphorus in the Baltic Sea.
