27.5.11 - Cleaning Agents Part 4 - Saponifiers are strongly alkaline chemicals that convert animal fats and oils into natural soaps. This is the very same chemical reaction that has been used to make real natural soaps for many centuries, and the conversion of fats to soap is called saponification. Click here to read more...

13.5.11 - Cleaning Agents Part 3 - Often, a surfactant that is an excellent detergent is not a very good penetrating agent. To make the best cleaner possible, the formula may include a different surfactant that is an excellent wetting and penetrating agent. This second surfactant will work along with the detergent or soap to increase the cleaning ability. Click here to read more...

28.4.11 - Cleaning Agents Part 2 - The word surfactant is short for "surface active agent". Surfactants work at the boundary layer (the interface) between the soil and the solvent. Each surfactant molecule has two chemical groups; one that is attracted to water (the hydrophile) and one that is attracted to soil (the hydrophobe). Click here to read more...

7.3.11 - The Science of Soil Removal Part 2 - Soil is nothing more than matter in the right or wrong place. For example, grease in a frying pan is good; grease on the stove top is bad. Dirt in the family garden is good; dirt on your wife's white carpet is bad - very bad! Click here to read more...

21.2.11 - The Science of Soil Removal -  Perhaps we should start our discussion with an explanation of the pH scale. It is very important to understand this pH scale because the knowledge that is locked within the mystery of this scale, once opened, can be logically used to solve the many cleaning problems that we will encounter.
