The expert shared tips on choosing an effective detergent.

People often complain about poor-quality household chemicals. On how to choose an effective remedy, August 10, Gazeta.Ru" was told by the founder of the brand of household chemicals "Allchemica" Alexey Baichurin.

The expert recommended looking at the percentage of surfactants (surfactants). If the amount of surfactants is less than 15%, the product will not cope with serious contamination.

Also, the uselessness of the drug, according to Baichurin, is signaled by the content of aggressive but non-functional components: chlorine, ammonia, high doses of phosphates or formaldehyde. They are not only harmful to human health, but also do not remove fat.

The expert emphasized that the professional and effective product practically does not foam and does not have a specific odor, but at the same time perfectly cleans the surface.

"Biodegradable surfactants of plant origin <...> effectively dissolve fat without harm to the skin and the environment. Enzymes <...> break down protein and starch impurities even in cold water. The complexes <...> soften the water, enhancing the effect of surfactants," the specialist explained.

The founder of the brand of household appliances also pointed out that you need to pay attention to the packaging. The opaque and dark bottle will not allow the components inside to collapse.

Earlier, on March 4, Baichurin named the most dangerous components in cleaning products. The expert drew attention to chlorine disinfectants and bleaching agents: chlorine vapors irritate the mucous membranes, and in confined spaces they can cause suffocation if used incorrectly. Windscreen wipers with ammonia, inhaling which causes nausea and headaches, pose a similar danger.
