WASHING-UP DETERGENT Code P23
Foaming concentrated detergent with high degreasing action, neutral pH. It washes any traces of grease,
sauces, dirt away from dishes, glasses, cutlery and pots. Some of the ingredients are chosen to help the
skin not to be overdried.
With a daily use, the sequestering agents contained into this formulation exert a control action against lime
stains, for example all around the kitchen sink tap. So it is far less necessary to apply acid antiscaling agents.
Its foam, so useful for a good washing-up, tends to dispare very fast after a few time; this way allows to save a lot of
rinsing water and further on to riduce the pollution, particularly in case of waste water not addressed to treatment plants.
In fact, persistent foams are hazardous for aquatic life, mainly because they prevent oxygen to pass through water surface.
All BenSos' foaming detergents develop a non-persistent foam.
BenSos' Washing-up liquid is concentrated, that means relatively small doses are enough to wash; this doesn't mean that
users can dilute the product before use and stock it in a dilute way, because of the consequent lack of preservatives efficiency.
Toxicologic features of Glasswasher and of each of the other Bensos' products are alike;
however, here we state the main ones:
- no allergizing substances (as some perfumes' components, allergizing preservatives);
- no phosphates;
- very low toxicity for aquatic organisms.
