Correct cleaning, both private and industrial, is one of the activities that most help to prevent risks derived from dirt, such as the appearance of microorganisms or pathogens, which cause diseases harmful to humans. Therefore, and to ensure proper cleaning, there are professional products such as alkaline detergent, with a high residue removal capacity. A type of detergent that allows for thorough and effective cleaning of even the most stubborn dirt.
These types of detergents are especially effective against grease and oil, even if they are dry and stuck to the surface, proteins and all types of organic dirt that may be found thanks to having a pH greater than 7 and the combination of caustic solutions and surfactants.
Alkalis, obtained from soda, phosphates or silicates, allow this type of detergent to have particularly powerful disinfectant properties that are very useful for greasy dirt or dirt containing pigments. They can also be used as a drain cleaner, if the pH of the product is especially high.
There are different types of alkaline detergent with properties that make them suitable for different uses, allowing for a complete cleaning of all types of surfaces in the home, such as those that have great emulsifying power that are ideal for industrial cleaning in the food, dairy and brewing industries, being very effective in cleaning organic waste.
An alkaline detergent has a high pH that allows it to remove all types of organic dirt.
Alkaline products are also used in floor cleaning, which are very effective in removing dirt from the floor, eliminating wax residue and emulsions from previous applications or other cleaning products.
It is also used alkaline detergent in cleaning surfaces such as kitchen floors, tiles or furniture, whose concentration allows effective cleaning even at very low doses, correctly removing concentrated dirt from these types of floors.
There are alkaline products that are environmentally friendly and specially designed so that their application does not have a high impact on the environment, achieving a great cleaning capacity without the need to contain substances that are especially aggressive to the environment.
In the event that the water used together with these detergents is characterized by having a notable hardness, it is necessary to subsequently apply acidic detergents that eliminate the white film that can be created when applying the alkaline detergent, as long as they do not contain ion dispersants that can compensate for said hardness, which would delay the need for said acidic cleaning and prevent faucet blockages.
