Step Out Laundry Detergent Cognitive Misconceptions.
Misconception One: More Foam Means Stronger Stain Removal
Some consumers mistakenly believe Laundry Detergent that more foam is better. In fact, the amount of foam is not directly related to stain removal power. When washing clothes, the amount of laundry detergent should be sufficient; adding more when washing particularly dirty clothes is appropriate, but more detergent does not necessarily mean better cleaning. Once the detergent concentration reaches a certain level and the surface activity of the solution is at its maximum, the stain removal power no longer increases with more detergent and may even decrease. Practice shows that when the detergent concentration is between 0.2% and 0.5%, the solution's surface activity is highest and cleaning power is strongest. This means adding 5 to 10 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of detergent to a basin of clean water is enough. Excess detergent not only fails to improve cleaning but also increases alkalinity, which can damage fabric fibers. Additionally, excessive detergent clings to clothes, creating more foam that is hard to rinse out, wasting water and time, and leaving residues that can harm the skin and cause allergic reactions.
Misconception Two: Natural Soap Powder = Laundry Detergent
Currently, products called natural soap powder have appeared on the market, and many consumers think it is just another type of laundry detergent. In fact, soap powder is not exactly the same as laundry detergent. Functionally, natural soap powder is superior to laundry detergent. It contains no phosphates and has natural properties, making it less irritating to the skin, safer, and fabric-friendly. Clothes washed with it are fluffy and soft, solving problems like dirt buildup, fabric hardening, and static electricity caused by repeated washing with synthetic detergents. Soap powder is a super low-foam detergent, making it easier to rinse and more suitable for washing close-fitting clothes. Because natural soap powder includes special calcium soap dispersants, its stain removal power is stronger. Additionally, it has a rich fragrance that remains on fabrics after drying.
Misconception Three: Laundry Detergent Does Not Harm Hands
Due to fierce competition in the laundry detergent market, some manufacturers have creatively launched "hand-friendly laundry detergents" and "hand-friendly dishwashing liquids" to capture more market share. However, these exaggerated claims can easily mislead consumers. Synthetic detergents are essentially chemical products that, while removing stains, more or less cause skin damage. Prolonged contact can lead to rashes, redness, peeling, eczema, and other skin problems. Excessive absorption through the skin may also harm the body's hematopoietic system, lymphatic system, and liver function, with some even posing carcinogenic risks.
Misconception Four: Using Laundry Detergent as Dishwashing Liquid
Some households use laundry detergent to wash dishes, which is very harmful. The main ingredient in laundry detergent is sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, which has moderate toxicity. If its particles adhere to dishes and enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract, they can inhibit the activity of gastric protease and pancreatic enzymes, affecting digestive function. It can also damage liver cells, causing liver dysfunction. Over time, this can lead to diarrhea, indigestion, abnormal liver and kidney function, spleen shrinkage, even cancer, and blood diseases. Therefore, never use laundry detergent as dishwashing liquid.
