Laundry Day~

Lol.. Since i was new to this house.. i never know that today is a laundry day??!!

As i planning to get my cloth out to wash i found that everyone is queueing for the washing machine...@.@ And this remind me a bitter memory of 1st time washing cloth at here..

I accidently left my pen in one of my jean then i throw all the cloth into the washing machine..

And tragic happens!! =.='' As i was wearing bright colour cloth for that few day, so u can imagine that your dearly cloth suddenly get few Big Mole on their faces T_T

My brain was blank.. But luckily that a Breeze advertisment flash through my brain..
I immediately pick of few of the cloth and do what the advertisment teaches..
Althought it doesnt solve the problem throughoutly but it really did help..

Now, do you know what can detergent do?:D
Enjoy



Actually, they are few important substances involve in these processes such as:

Surfactants

Builders

Enzymes

Oxygen Bleach

Antiredeposition Polymers

Perfumes

Some of it may be unfamiliar to us. But, its ok man, let us learn this together since i not knowing them also. Lolz.

Surfactants

The main ingredient of detergent is surfactants which can be easily obtain from the petrochemicals. There are types of surfactants that have different cleaning properties, so that a good detergent would contain various kind of surfactants. Surfactants work by lower the surface tension of the water so that it can act with our cloth easier. But, the hardness of water can affect the effect of surfactants, so that builder is needed.

Builders

Builders soften the water so that surfactants can perform their work better. The builer in detergents are usually phosphtae builder, but due to phosphate builder bring pollution to the enviroment, so many country had banned it and use zeolite as a substitution for phosphate builder.

Enzymes

Its a protein component that can remove food deposit or stain. A good detergent normally contain varius kind of enzyme due to enzyme only react with specific substance.

Oxygen Bleach
Oxygen bleach can remove colour stain that stick on our cloth.

Antiredeposition Polymers

As what we can see from their name, they can prevent the food deposit or stain in the water from deposit back to our cloth by suspending them in the water.

Perfumes

No need further description :D
