DOES A CLEANING PRODUCT HAVE TO LATHER TO BE EFFECTIVE?
A couple of questions for you:
- Do you know what makes a cleaning product lather or foam?
- Do you believe that a cleaning product has to lather or foam to be effective?
The answer to the first question is that it is often a chemical known as a foaming agent or surfactant and they are created by a chemical reaction.
The most common chemical that you have probably heard of or seen on household and personal cleaning product labels is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).
Sadly used in many household cleaners and personal cleaning products, even many ‘so-called’ natural products, so you need to start reading labels if you are not already.
Don’t be fooled. There is nothing natural about this chemical. While it does provide a foam or lather, products with such chemical ingredients can provide a false sense of clean. Unfortunately, it has been long known that its use strips your skin, hair etc of their own protective barriers, disrupting your skin’s pH balance and natural oils and drying your skin. Household surfaces can be affected too and become dry.
And as well as another chemical you and your family could do without, it has another unappealing side story and that is, it is largely derived from petroleum, so it’s a petro-chemical, cheap and a proven toxin!
You might say, well, I won't use personal products with SLS but it’s ok to use on a household surface, but is it? What about the overspray and the subsequent exposure to your skin, your food, your family, the environment?
Knowledge is Power!
If you know what is in the products you buy, what ingredients they have, then you are more likely to be armed with that knowledge and to choose cleaning products that suit your views, values and beliefs.
