An impressive amount of time is spent washing dishes modern man. On store shelves there are an abundance of bottles with liquid products that make this work easier. To our great joy, housewives are now concerned not only with the smell and price range of such products, but also with the impact on health: human and our planet.
Why are dishwashing detergents dangerous?
Main component household chemicals for washing dishes - a variety of surfactants, which determine their washing properties. Surfactants are divided into:
- cationic (CSAS)
- anionic (AS)
- amphoteric (Amsurfactants)
- nonionic (nonionic surfactants)
These chemical compounds are extremely difficult to wash off from the surface of the dishes: one plate must be rinsed at least 15 times, completely immersed in clean water. Can you imagine how much water you need? (But even in science lessons at school we were told how important it is to save water resources!) Even if the plate squeaks after rinsing, this does not mean that the substances have been removed from the surface.
The water droplets on the dishes contain dissolved surfactants. After drying, these substances still remain, forming a film on the surface. When we put food in this dish, the surfactants join the food and are safely eaten by us. There is a statement that a person consumes half a liter of dishwashing liquid per year!
What consequences? Unpredictable. The surfactants in dishwashing detergents are synthetic. When ingested, they cause gradual poisoning. It all starts with allergic reactions, and can end with the development of tumors in the gastrointestinal tract - the fact is that the breakdown products of many surfactants are carcinogens.
Not only does the protective barrier collapse upon contact of surfactants with the skin, but the compounds are absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body.
Damage to the body is caused not only by surfactants in detergents, but also by chemical fragrances and preservatives. People actively inhale fragrances when washing dishes, which, according to scientists, leads to many diseases respiratory system up to asthma.
Sewage domestic water with surfactants dissolved in them cause enormous damage to the environment. Detergents with surfactants with a long decay period are more harmful. While the compounds decompose, they contribute to waterlogging, oxygen starvation of their inhabitants, and subsequently to the death of the latter. Therefore, the shorter the period of surfactant decay, the safer the product is for the environment. The trouble is, manufacturers do not write the names of the surfactants in the composition.
The most aggressive are anionic surfactants, although some of them have good biodegradability (up to 90%). Nonionic ones completely decompose, that is, they turn into carbon dioxide and water, so they cause less harm environment.
How to protect yourself from the harmful effects of dishwashing detergents
Of course, the less chemicals come into contact with human body, the better for his health. No one is urging readers to completely give up detergents, but some tips can help reduce the harmful effects.
It would be great to be environmentally conscious when washing dishes. To do this, choose safe means.
And also let's notice how much water we spend in the process of cleaning the kitchen? Using a special basin for washing and rinsing dishes will not only save you money on water supply costs. This is one way to take care of what we have been given.
The deeper chemical and technological developments penetrate into our lives, the more often we think about safety and turn to the experience of our ancestors. For example, if we talk about safe dishwashing detergents, it is useful to remember what our mothers and grandmothers used to wash cups and glasses.
They used “penny” available means to keep the dishes clean: baking soda, mustard powder, laundry soap, table vinegar, and also knew a lot of secrets that would allow you to wash off grease, soot, and limescale. Today is one of the most simple ingredients If you wish, you can make your own eco-friendly dishwashing detergent by hand. Let's talk about this in more detail.
Let's go back to history
Cleaning products like “Fairy” appeared on the market in the mid-to-late 90s of the last century. Then it was a breakthrough! With one drop you could wash off a mountain of dishes that had accumulated after your birthday. And the smells: spring bouquet, citrus mix, green apple... However, today the issue of safety is higher than efficiency, economy and pleasant aroma. Expensive environmentally friendly products are increasingly appearing in advertising. But instead of overpaying for foreign innovative developments, it is worth remembering what Russian women successfully used.
Do you remember how in K.I. Chukovsky’s fairy tale “Fedorino’s Grief” Fedora called the runaway dishes home and promised to clean them with sand and pour boiling water over them? This is one of the ancient ways of washing dishes. In the old days, dishes were rubbed with sand, sedge, nettle, and washed with lye (an aqueous infusion of wood ash). By the way, sand and grass are still used by tourists.
Later, laundry soap, baking soda, and mustard appeared on the sinks of Soviet women. These products, which can always be found in any kitchen, perfectly wash dishes, while being completely safe. They are the ones you should focus on if the housewife is concerned about the safety of the detergent.
Magic soda and essential mustard
Baking soda is the most popular solution for cleaning dark deposits from various dishes and cutlery. Having a fine-crystalline structure, it has a soft abrasive effect and cleans to a shine and a pleasant squeak. Baking soda can be used in two ways:
- dissolve baking soda in water and wash (if necessary, soak) dishes in it;
- pour baking soda onto a sponge and scrub away dirt.
After treating dishes with soda, rinse them thoroughly and wipe dry.
Baking soda can be successfully used to wash mugs, tea cups, and glass glasses. It perfectly removes dark stains from tea and coffee. Many people are familiar with the situation when glassware with a corrugated pattern ceases to shine and becomes covered with a layer of dust remaining in the recesses.
Wine glasses, shot glasses and cut glasses will acquire their original shine if you go over the design with a sponge dipped in soda slurry and then rinse the dishes with water. The same method will help rid the plates of dark marks that usually appear on their lower parts over time if daily washing is not thorough enough.
Tip: Baking soda is great for removing grease, but it should not be used to clean non-stick cookware.
Mustard powder has properties similar to soda. It can be used in the same way: in a solution or directly applied to a sponge. However, it is worth noting that mustard is more expensive than soda. But if you don’t have baking soda on hand, then mustard becomes indispensable as an effective natural dishwashing detergent. Crystal shine and fat removal are guaranteed.
Vinegar for shine
Table vinegar is another resident of any kitchen that is always ready to help in the fight to keep dishes clean. It is not used for daily washing of plates and cutlery, but if you need to restore the shine to glassware, rid it of limescale or disinfect, there is no better way to find. Prepare vinegar water from:
- 1 l. warm water;
- from 3 tbsp. l. up to 200 ml of table vinegar. Depends on the purpose: 3 tbsp is enough to add shine to the glass. l., and for disinfection you can take more.
For a shine, rinse clean glassware with vinegar water. By treating with an aqueous solution of table vinegar, you can also restore the shine to steel pots, ladles and frying pans. To do this, you need to wipe them with a sponge soaked in vinegar water, if necessary, rubbing the contaminated areas more intensively, and wipe dry with a towel.
An aqueous solution of table vinegar (1:5) can disinfect such kitchen appliances, How cutting boards, container for storing cutlery, tray for drying plates, etc.
Making your own dishwashing liquid
If you want to wash dishes with your usual “detergent”, and not just lather a sponge with laundry soap and sprinkle with soda, you can prepare it yourself. At the same time, it will turn out to be safe and not too expensive. We offer two options:
- liquid product;
- cleaning paste.
Both products can be stored, so they do not need to be prepared each time before washing dishes. Both recipes contain soap as ingredients. For liquid soap you will need:
- water - 0.5 l;
- laundry soap (72%, 200 g piece) - 1/8 piece;
- liquid glycerin - 5 tsp;
- alcohol tincture of calendula - 1 tbsp. l.;
- medical alcohol - 4 tbsp. l;
- bottle with dispenser.
Preparation:
- Grind the laundry soap. This can be done using a grater or a sharp knife. Transfer the shavings to a saucepan.
- Place a saucepan with soap on water bath. Gradually add water to it. You should get a homogeneous mass.
- Add the remaining ingredients from the list. Mix well and pour the product into the bottle.
To prepare a cleaning paste with soap you will need:
- hot water - 1 glass;
- laundry soap - 1 piece;
- 6 tbsp. l. baking soda;
- storage container, such as a plastic container.
Tip: when calculating the ingredients, when you take soap in the amount of 1 piece (200 g), you get a lot of product. If you prepare this pasta for the first time, it is better to proportionally reduce their amount by 2-3 times.
Preparation:
- Grind the laundry soap using a grater. You can also tune it sharp knife in small pieces.
- Place the laundry soap in a saucepan and place in a water bath, gradually adding water. You can just pour the chips hot water and let it brew, stirring from time to time. But this will take more time.
- When the soap mixture becomes homogeneous, add soda to it. Beat with a mixer or whisk and transfer the paste and soap into a container.
A few secrets for pure glow
If the owner decides not to use store-bought products, full of chemistry, and switch to soap, soda, vinegar and other natural products, she should know a few secrets:
- Darkened cutlery is well brightened by the water remaining after boiling potatoes. Soak forks and spoons in it for 6-8 minutes. Then they will need to be rinsed under water and ground.
- If you don’t have a brush at hand, you can clean a bottle with a narrow neck by placing it in eggshells and some water. It needs to be vigorously shaken, and then the water and shells are drained.
- A glass carafe whose bottom has turned white from limescale can be cleaned with vinegar essence (70%). 1 tsp is enough, which you need to add to the water and fill the carafe to the contaminated area. After a few minutes, the solution must be washed off and the carafe rinsed thoroughly with water.
- If something is burnt in an enamel pan, you should pour 3-5 tbsp on the bottom. l. baking soda and pour hot water just above the burnt area. Bring water to a boil and leave until cool. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Table vinegar will help clean a burnt frying pan. Pour 200 ml of vinegar into it and add water so that it covers the burnt area. Boil for 5-10 minutes, then wash the pan with detergent.

Average price in the Russian Federation: 75 rub.
Domestic gel with a reduced content of anionic surfactants (5-15%, in Fairy - 15-30%). The composition does not indicate which anionic substances are used, so we cannot definitely recommend this product for children's dishes.

Which dishwashing detergent should you choose?
When compiling our rating, we understood that it was very conditional, because for some housewives the main criterion is efficiency, for others it is safety for health, for others it is an affordable price. And there are so many dishwashing detergents themselves that it is simply impossible to consider them all in a short article. But whatever product you choose, remember to use rubber gloves and never be lazy about thoroughly rinsing detergent off your dishes. Good luck with your choice!
Modern housewives have a wide selection of chemicals for organizing their everyday life. At the same time, it is impossible to say that all products are equally good. If we talk about kitchen products, then among them there are both high-quality and not so good. Some foam better, others have antibacterial properties or protect the skin of the hands from aggressive ingredients. To understand which dishwashing detergent is the best and safest, refer to this article.
Firstly, each housewife should determine for herself the properties that kitchen chemicals should have. Secondly, we advise you to rely on the list of the most popular options from Tovariki. This list was compiled based on feedback from consumers and experts. After viewing it, as well as reading about the features of each product, it will be easier for you to make a choice.
As practice shows, the best liquids and powders are not necessarily imported. Among the goods Russian production There are also many worthy copies, which is confirmed by user ratings.
Kinds
To determine which products for cleaning and disinfecting kitchen utensils are best for you, it is important to know the range and differences between different types.
In the store you can see the following options:
- liquids;
- gels;
- powders;
- pills;
- balms;
- capsules;
- concentrates that are diluted before use;
- rinse aids.
You should also understand the chemical composition. The ingredients are indicated on the label; you should not ignore this information before purchasing.
Pay attention to the consistency. An option that is too liquid is not very convenient to use and is not economical. The presence of sediment is also undesirable.
Gel specimens are practical, they produce more foam and dissolve well. They last a long time.
Concentrates are expensive, but they are loved by many. Before use, they are diluted with water (the properties are not lost at all). As a result, you can achieve a very large volume of liquid. One purchased bottle sometimes lasts for 5-6 months.
Powders are suitable for cleaning stubborn dirt, burnt cauldrons, pots and pans, and stoves. True, they can scratch the surface and remain in the resulting grooves. Thus, powder particles are not washed off and later end up in food, which should not be allowed.
General requirements that chemicals used for items in contact with food must meet:
- Efficiency. The product must remove the most various pollution, fat. Ideally, it retains such properties even in cool water. It is best to take something that will work without pre-soaking.
- Safety. No one wants allergies or, worse, burns on their hands. Hypoallergenicity should be one of the first places among the selection criteria.
- A pleasant aroma that does not remain on washed dishes. Agree, you don’t want to eat while smelling a chemical smell.
- Good washability. This is important both to get rid of flavors and for safety. Particles left on kitchen utensils can enter the body and cause harm.
- Sufficient level of foam.
Pay attention to the presence of a dispenser. It is much more convenient to use the product with it than without it. With one click, the optimal amount will be squeezed out, making it easier to control consumption.
