Means for washing dishes. Are dishwashing detergents safe? Which detergent is best and safe

The deeper chemical and technological developments penetrate our lives, the more often we think about safety and turn to the experience of our ancestors. For example, if we talk about safe dishwashing detergents, it is useful to remember how our mothers and grandmothers washed cups and glasses.

They used “penny” available improvised means to keep the dishes clean: baking soda, mustard powder, laundry soap, table vinegar, and they also knew a lot of secrets that allow them to wash off grease, soot, and limescale. Today, from the simplest ingredients, if desired, you can hand-craft an environmentally friendly dishwashing detergent. Let's talk about this in more detail.

Let's turn to history

Fairy-type cleaning products appeared on the open market in the mid-late 90s of the last century. Then it was a breakthrough! One drop could wash a mountain of dishes accumulated after a birthday. And smells: spring bouquet, citrus mix, green apple... However, today the issue of safety rises above efficiency, economy and pleasant aroma. Expensive environmentally friendly products are increasingly appearing in advertising. But instead of overpaying for foreign innovative developments, it is worth remembering what Russian women used with success.

Do you remember how in K. I. Chukovsky’s fairy tale “Fedorino’s grief”, Fyodor called the runaway dishes home and promised to clean it with sand and pour boiling water over it? This is one of ancient ways washing dishes. In the old days, dishes were rubbed with sand, sedge, nettles, washed with lye (water infusion of wood ash). By the way, sand and grass are still in use among tourists.

Later, laundry soap appeared on the sinks of Soviet women, baking soda, mustard. These products, which can always be found in any kitchen, perfectly wash dishes, while being completely safe. It is on them that one should be guided if the hostess is concerned about the safety of the detergent.

Magic soda and irreplaceable mustard

Baking soda is the most popular product for removing dark stains from a variety of dishes and cutlery. Having a fine-grained structure, it has a mild abrasive effect and cleans to a shine and a pleasant squeak. Baking soda can be used in two ways:

• dissolve soda in water and wash (if necessary, soak) dishes in it;
• Sprinkle baking soda on a sponge and wipe off dirt.

After treating the dishes with soda, rinse them thoroughly and wipe them dry.

Baking soda can be successfully used to wash mugs, tea cups, and glass goblets. It perfectly removes dark stains from tea and coffee. Many people are familiar with the situation when glassware with a corrugated pattern ceases to shine and becomes covered with a coating of dust left in the recesses.

Wine glasses, glasses and faceted glasses will acquire their original shine if you walk over the drawing with a sponge dipped in soda gruel, and then rinse the dishes with water. The same method will help to rid the plates of dark marks, as a rule, appearing over time on their lower part with insufficient daily washing.

Tip: Baking soda is great for removing grease, but you can't use it to clean non-stick cookware.

Mustard powder has properties similar to soda. It can be used in the same way: in solution or directly applied to a sponge. However, it is worth noting that mustard is more expensive than soda. But if baking soda is not at hand, then mustard becomes indispensable as an effective natural dishwashing detergent. Crystal shine and fat removal are guaranteed.

Vinegar for shine

Table vinegar is another resident of any kitchen that is always ready to help in the fight for the cleanliness of dishes. For daily wash plates and cutlery do not use it, but if you need to return the radiance glassware, rid it of limescale or disinfect, there is no better way to find it. Prepare vinegar water from:

• 1 l. warm water;
• from 3 tbsp. l. up to 200 ml of table vinegar. Depends on the purpose: 3 tbsp is enough to add shine to the glass. l., and for disinfection, you can take more.

To shine, rinse clean glassware with vinegar water. Processing aqueous solution table vinegar can also restore the shine to steel pots, ladles and pans. To do this, you need to wipe them with a sponge dipped in vinegar water, if necessary, rubbing the contaminated places more intensively, and wipe dry with a towel.

An aqueous solution of table vinegar (1:5) can disinfect kitchen appliances such as cutting boards, a container for storing cutlery, a tray from under the dryer for plates, etc.

Making your own dishwashing liquid

If you want to wash dishes with the usual “detergent” and not just lather a sponge with laundry soap and sprinkle with soda, you can cook it yourself. At the same time, it will turn out to be safe and not too expensive. We offer two options:

• liquid agent;
• cleaning paste.

Both products can be stored, so they do not need to be prepared every time before washing dishes. Both recipes contain soap. For liquid soap with soap you will need:

• water - 0.5 l;
• laundry soap (72%, 200 g piece) - 1/8 piece;
• liquid glycerin - 5 tsp;
• alcohol tincture of calendula - 1 tbsp. l.;
• medical alcohol - 4 tbsp. l;
• dispenser bottle.

Cooking:

1. Grind laundry soap. This can be done with a grater or a sharp knife. Transfer the shavings to a saucepan.
2. Place the bowl of soap on water bath. Gradually add water to it. You should get a homogeneous mass.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients from the list. Mix well and pour the product into a bottle.

To prepare a cleaning paste with soap, you will need:

• hot water - 1 glass;
• laundry soap - 1 piece;
• 6 art. l. baking soda;
• storage container, such as a plastic container.

Tip: when calculating the ingredients, when soap is taken in the amount of 1 piece (200 g), a lot of money is obtained. If you cook this pasta for the first time, it is better to proportionally reduce their amount by 2-3 times.

Cooking:

1. Grind laundry soap with a grater. You can also cut it into small pieces with a sharp knife.
2. Transfer the laundry soap to a saucepan and place in a water bath, gradually adding water. You can simply pour the shavings with hot water and let it brew, stirring occasionally. But this will take more time.
3. When the mass with soap becomes homogeneous, add soda to it. Beat with a mixer or whisk and transfer the paste with soap to a container.

A few secrets for pure radiance

If the hostess decided not to use store products, full of chemistry, and switch to soap, soda, vinegar and other natural products, she should know a few secrets:

• darkened cutlery is well clarified by the water remaining after boiling potatoes. Soak forks and spoons in it for 6-8 minutes. Then they will need to be washed under water and rubbed.
• if there is no brush at hand, you can clean a bottle with a narrow neck by placing eggshell and some water. It must be actively shaken, and then drain the water and the shell.
• a glass decanter, the bottom of which has turned white from limescale, can be cleaned with vinegar essence (70%). Enough 1 teaspoon, which must be added to the water and pour the decanter to the contaminated place. After a few minutes, the solution must be washed off, and the carafe thoroughly rinsed with water.
• if something burnt in an enameled pan, it is worth pouring 3-5 tbsp. l. baking soda and pour hot water just above the burnt spot. Bring water to a boil and leave to cool. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• a burnt pan will help clean table vinegar. Pour 200 ml of vinegar into it and add water so that it covers the burnt place. Boil for 5-10 minutes, then wash the pan with detergent.

When the question arises, how to wash dishes, so as not to harm own health, it is useful to remember the good old laundry soap, soda and vinegar. You can also cook special remedy for washing dishes - the most natural, in the naturalness of the ingredients of which you can be 100% sure!

Dishwashing takes a lot of time modern man. On the shelves in stores, an abundance of bottles of liquid products that facilitate this work. To great joy, housewives are now concerned not only with the smell and price category of such products, but also with the impact on health: human and our planet.

Why are dishwashing detergents dangerous?

The main component of household chemicals for washing dishes is a variety of surface-active substances (surfactants), which determine their washing properties. Surfactants are divided into:

• cationic (CSAV)
• anionic (AS)
• amphoteric (amphoteric)
• non-ionic (nonionic surfactants)

These chemical compounds are extremely difficult to wash off from the surface of the dishes: one plate must be rinsed at least 15 times, completely immersed in clean water. Can you imagine how much water you need? (After all, even in nature studies classes at school, we were told how important it is to save water resources!) Even if the plate creaks after rinsing, this does not mean at all that the substances have been removed from the surface.

There are dissolved surfactants in the water droplets on the dishes. After drying, these substances still remain, forming a film on the surface. When we put food in this dish, the surfactants join the food and are safely eaten by us. There is a saying that a person consumes half a liter of dishwashing liquid in a year!

What consequences? Unpredictable. Synthetic surfactants in dishwashing detergents. When ingested, they cause gradual poisoning. It all starts with allergic reactions, and can end with the development of tumors in the gastrointestinal tract - the fact is that the decay products of many surfactants are carcinogens.

Not only that, when the surfactant comes into contact with the skin, the protective barrier is destroyed, the compounds are absorbed into the blood and are carried throughout the body.

Damage to the body is caused not only by the surfactants of detergents, but also by chemical flavorings and preservatives. When washing dishes, a person actively inhales fragrances, which, according to scientists, leads to many diseases of the respiratory system, including asthma.

Waste waters with surfactants dissolved in them cause great damage to the environment. Detergents with surfactants with a long decay period are more harmful. While the compounds decompose, they contribute to the waterlogging of water bodies, oxygen starvation of their inhabitants, and subsequently to the death of the latter. Therefore, the shorter the decay period of the surfactant, the safer the product for the environment. The trouble is, manufacturers do not write the names of surfactants in the composition.

The most aggressive are anionic surfactants, although some of them have good biodegradability (up to 90%). Non-ionic completely decompose, that is, they turn into carbon dioxide and water, so they do less harm to the environment.

How to protect yourself from the harmful effects of dishwashing detergents

Of course, the less chemistry comes into contact with the human body, the better for his health. No one encourages readers to completely abandon detergents, but some tips can help reduce the harmful effect.

When washing dishes, it would be great to take care of the environment. To do this, choose safe means.

And also let's notice how much water we spend in the process of cleaning the kitchen? Using a special basin for washing and rinsing dishes will not only save you money on paying for water supply. This is one way to take care of what we have been given.

How to wash dishes quickly, efficiently and inexpensively?

The hostesses choose the best dishwashing detergent according to several criteria: washing efficiency, economical consumption, price, pleasant aroma, respect for the skin of the hands and, of course, good rinsability with water.

To make your choice easier, we have compared the most popular dishwashing detergents and identified 9 candidates for the title of the best, worthy of settling in your kitchen.

gift for lovers natural remedies. According to the manufacturer, all detergent components of the gel are derived from herbal ingredients. The composition is enriched with glycerin, essential oils and herbal extracts, and natural sea ​​salt.

popular baby dishwashing gel

Photo: agusik.com.ua

Average price in Russia: 75 rubles

Domestic gel with a reduced content of anionic surfactants (5-15%, in Fairy - 15-30%). The composition does not indicate which anionic substances are used, so we cannot unequivocally recommend this product for children's dishes. However, for "adult" dishes, this is a completely high-quality product, without dyes, with an almost imperceptible smell and with the addition of aloe vera to protect the skin of the hands.

Pros:

• copes well with grease, including on plastic, silicone, glass and latex;

best inexpensive dishwashing liquid

Average price in the Russian Federation: 50 rubles.

Cheap gel is not by chance in the middle of our list, because it deserves attention as a product, the quality of which noticeably "overtakes" its price. The composition of "Sorti" is identical to the composition of more expensive products, and only a more liquid consistency indicates the budgetary origin of this product. It is curious that Sorti and the leader of the AOS rating have the same manufacturer (Nafis Cosmetics, Kazan).

Average price in the Russian Federation: 260 rubles.

A good analogue of popular brands for those who are looking for something new. The composition is classic, the ingredients are the same as in most store products. But Mama Lemon does not contain a thickener (salt), so it does not dry out hands. Wash quality is top notch. It smells good, rinses well, there is a dispenser with adjustable pressure.

most economical dishwashing liquid

Photo: pakstorg.ru

Average price in Russia: 52 p.

Gel Sarma from Nevskaya Cosmetics is a strong agent with a high content of anionic surfactants (up to 30%) and a thickener. Fans of eco-chemistry are unlikely to like this. But the fact that Sarma does an excellent job with dirt, grease, soot, smells good and is inexpensive, was appreciated by many. Inexpensive analogue of the "thermonuclear" Fairy and AOS from a domestic manufacturer.

Pros:

Photo: zebra61.ru

Average price in the Russian Federation: 180 rubles.

The product from the Russian concern SPLAT is declared as friendly to nature, suitable for washing children's dishes and even fruits and vegetables. Having studied the composition, we still do not recommend washing them. food products: there are anionic surfactants (which ones are not indicated), and in the same concentration as in most other similar products. But the fact that the product has no smell, does not dry hands and washes dishes well even in cold water, was liked by many housewives.

• good efficiency;
• without smell.

Minuses:

• high price with a volume of less than 500 ml;

What dishwashing detergent to choose?

When compiling our rating, we understood that it was very conditional, because for some hostesses the main criterion is efficiency, for others - safety for health, for others - affordable price. And there are so many dishwashing detergents themselves that it is simply impossible to consider them all within the framework of a small article. But whichever product you choose, don't forget to use rubber gloves and never be too lazy to rinse the dish detergent thoroughly. Good luck choosing!

For any hostess, the choice of the optimal dishwashing detergent is a paramount task. Since we use this representative of household chemicals every day, it is very important that it be environmentally friendly and safe, because we are talking about contact with the appliances from which we eat. At the same time, I want to buy something not very expensive, but capable of washing off fat without hot water. How to choose the golden mean among the listed factors, we will analyze in more detail.

Grandma's methods - eco-friendly and cheap

Before the development of technologies in the field of household chemicals, ordinary detergents were in the lead for a long time among the popular dishwashing detergents. baking soda. With its help, it was convenient to remove dark deposits from pots, cups, glasses and cutlery. Thanks to the fine crystalline structure, abrasive effect, shine and pleasant creak of washed dishes. This tool can be used both dry and dissolved in water, where dirty plates and cutlery are placed. Soda capable overcome fat but do not use it for washing non-stick pans and pots.

Similar in cleaning properties and mustard powder, which is also applied dry and diluted with water. Although it costs more than baking soda, it is a great, harmless way to clean grease and grease from dishes. giving her crystal brilliance.

Another “clean plate fighter” is table vinegar. It is not a basic detergent, but rather a rinse aid that is used to make glassware shine and remove limescale.

Laundry soap - for all time

Some women (often of mature age) believe that the best dishwashing detergent is safe soap. It's hard to argue with that, given that it is made up of fat, vegetable oils and sodium salts. Classic laundry soap does not contain fragrances, preservatives and dyes, so it does not harm the environment.

For objectivity, it is worth mentioning the shortcomings of such a tool. tap water is quite stiff, hence little foam and little efficiency fatty acids. Therefore, soda should be added to the soap solution, as well as glycerin, since soap mercilessly dries the skin of the hands if you do not wash the dishes with gloves.

The effectiveness and cheapness of such a tool is overshadowed by its inconvenient form. Indeed, it is difficult with a solid brown bar. Therefore, experienced housewives usually prepare a liquid or pasty substance from soap. Liquid soap is made by grating a bar and melting it in a small amount of hot water. The composition is supplemented with four tablespoons of glycerin and one tablespoon of vodka, which allows you to extend the shelf life. You can also add dry mustard for better fat soluble qualities. Pleasant home fragrance liquid soap will add essential oil in the amount of 7-8 drops.

For more contaminated utensils, laundry soap paste is suitable. It consists of a grated bar mixed with a glass of hot water, to which soda (100 g), glycerin (50 g), mustard (50 g) and lemon zest are added. Essential oil would be appropriate here as well. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and whipped. After cooling, the mass takes on a pasty state.

Modern options - convenient and efficient

Despite the safe and environmentally friendly heritage of the previous generation, young housewives still consider modern achievements in household chemicals to be more efficient and convenient. True, in the variety offered, it is sometimes difficult to understand which dish detergent is better. It is clear that it should wash away fat even cold water, disinfect, use sparingly and protect the skin of the hands. It is also important that such a product smells good, rinses well from the dishes and at the same time is inexpensive. Usually advertising of any detergent contains all of the above items. To choose the best, we will review the most popular brands.
