What should we take into account when using the detergents from a sustainable point of view? Once again, from this new entry in our blog, Dermo SA, We want to make an impact on the necessary awareness that we must provide to the population so that they realize the imperative need that must prevail among all regarding the issue of detergents and, more specifically, to the use of ecological detergents.
The main thing is to have these instead of using detergents conventional products that contain, among their components, substances and elements that are harmful to people's health or, even worse, to the health of a planet that we are consuming excessively and whose resources are being depleted day by day. Not only should we be aware of the use of ecological detergents biodegradable, which at least provide the possibility of not affecting the environment to such an extent and their compounds are formed by much less aggressive and toxic elements; but also, to make a reasonable use of them at home, at work..., so that we can reduce the degree of sustainability that should accompany us for many more millions of years. How?
With these lines that we offer you below, from Dermo SA., Today we want to give you the basic keys so that you can make correct use of the ecological detergents at home and, just as you already cooperate by using these instead of detergents conventional; to give you some tips that will enable you to save and clean, in the same way, without affecting the sustainability that we seek.
For example, one of the first measures to take into account is to reduce the excessive consumption of these products. Some of the keys to achieving this are the reduction of the doses recommended by the manufacturers. Normally, the indicated levels of detergent to use are the recommended ones, but it also depends on the factors that accompany them. It is not the same to recommend a dose of half a scoop of detergent to wash clothes, with water at 40ºC and always when the washing machine is full, than to use the same amount (because we believe so) when the washing machine is half full, therefore it still has capacity, and the water we use is 20ºC or 90ºC.
Another useful measure to apply at home is when cleaning dishes. Beyond those of you who always use the dishwasher for this, those of you who do not enjoy this appliance can clean by hand using eco-friendly detergent with hot water. This last fact is important and is that hot water allows us to save detergent, since greasy dirt is harder to remove with cold water and we will need more soap to achieve the same goal.
It is clear that in all cases we will have to consume some detergent, but when we do so we have to try to make it as ecological as possible. detergents Conventional water contains substances that, in addition to not being regulated due to the pressure exerted by the industry itself, have an impact on the waste water and on the water that ends up in rivers and treatment plants. Some of these harmful ingredients, such as phosphates, remain in the water once it has been discharged. After that, it is the treatment plants that must bear this burden and clean the water that, again, is distributed to homes. To eliminate these phosphates, very expensive equipment is needed, which must be paid for by each municipality and, consequently, we end up paying for it with our taxes. We pay for polluting the water (using detergents No ecological) and then we pay again to clean it (with better technology in the treatment plants) so we can cook and wash. A very unsustainable cycle, right?
The ecological detergents They do not contain any of these phosphates and represent a sustainable alternative when it comes to cleaning and washing.
