Making Liquid Laundry Soap

Several stains and eliminate odor cleaning products are available today that are advertised as "enzyme-based. They are considered some of the products more effective in removing stains and odors caused by organic matter such as urine, grass, blood, or the like. However, many consumers are skeptical of such claims. How can a single solution to remove different types of stains? The answer lies in the nature of enzymes. Most people only vaguely familiar with the concept of an enzyme. Here is a brief explanation of what an enzyme is and how working to eliminate stains and odors.

An enzyme is simply a protein molecule in the presence of other chemicals, catalyzes (accelerates) reactions chemical. By reducing the "activation energy" needed for a reaction takes place, in many cases, millions of times below normal, the processes chemicals that normally occur too slowly to be of value can take place very quickly. A useful way of thinking about this idea is to compare how the water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes. At sea level, you have to heat water to 100 degrees Celsius for boiling, but in Denver, Colorado, the lowest pressure air decreases the boiling point of water at 95 degrees. There is less "resistance" to the reaction, the change from liquid to gas, because of lower air pressure. The enzymes function similarly, changing the chemical conditions to reduce the amount of energy needed for a reaction takes place.

This is important for living organisms, including humans. Most of the chemical processes that our bodies need to survive normally would take too long to be useful to us. It is only because of the enzymes that are capable of digesting food in a matter of hours instead of months or years. In fact, people who are Lactose intolerance is actually suffering from a shortage of the lactase enzyme that breaks down lactose protein found in milk. Enzymes are also necessary for the chemical reaction that converts the energy stored in our bodies in the muscle contractions that allow us to move. Our bodies contain thousands of different types of enzymes, each bearing a different chemical reaction.

"This is fascinating," you say, but what does this have to do with get wine stains from my carpet? "The answer is to break a stain is a chemical process, and digest milk. Regular cleaning products such as soap washing dishes are "surfactants", ie to allow water and oils to mix. This allows the fat to dissolve in water and lava. Unfortunately, this is ineffective for the elimination of many types of undesirable materials uric acid crystals in particular. These small crystals, found in urine, are the reason for carpet urine stains and keep your pet odor. Surfactant cleaners are capable of breaking chemical bonds in the crystals together as the stained surface. Enzymatic cleaners, secondly, to reactivate the process of breaking chemical bonds on the spot. It is as if time had accelerated in many thousands or millions of times more for the spot, causing degraded "naturally" in minutes or hours.

Enzyme-based cleaners are not suitable for all purposes, however. They are only recommended for use in organic stains. For our purposes, which simply means a stain caused by a material natural, biological, if it came from an animal or plant, is organic. This would include feces, urine, blood, vomit, chocolate, coffee, even the smoke cigarette. Engine oil stains, however, would benefit most from the use of a surfactant such as laundry detergent, which one enzyme-based cleaner.

Beyond the concerns of efficiency, many consumers prefer the enzyme-based cleaners because they have a much lower environmental impact compared with the products Typical cleaning. Conventional cleaning products contain bleach, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, and other highly toxic, corrosive chemicals. These products not artificially created chemicals tend to break on their own, and stay in our environment, or your home, long after use. Although they are widely sold and used, there is increasing evidence that high amounts of these chemicals have serious effects on our health and quality of our water and air. The enzymes are in cleaning products, moreover, have no noticeable impact on living things and do not accumulate in our air and waterways. No need to keep children or pets away from areas that have been treated with enzyme cleaners as one with a corrosive chemical cleaner, making them safer and more comfortable for many users.

So, now that you know the science behind the enzyme-based cleaners, you may decide to try one for yourself. Many consumers have had very positive results of such cleaners in removing pet stains, drink spills, dirt and other. Despite the complex chemistry behind these products, which are actually quite idiot-proof, because you simply poured onto the stain and let it do its job. We encourage try this safe, efficient and greener spots and odor treatment itself.

How to prevent sticking to laundry detergent?

I made a homemade powder detergent bar soap ivory cheese, 1 / 2 cup or soda and 1 / 2 cup borax (found the recipe of tipnut). Anyway, I only use about 2 tablespoons for a load but sometimes the clothes are bits of ivory have stuck to them and if I forget them and go in the dryer leaving a small greasy spot in search of soap on my clothes. I grating is as small as I can. What else can I do? I prefer to make the powder to liquid.

Put the soap and then turn the water and let stand for a minute, maybe even let you run a minutes before putting clothes in the soap will have more an opportunity to dissolve before contact with clothes. My washing machine has a cycle of soaking I love so much. always dissolved my soap and clothes has never been cleaner.
