Dish Soap Debunked: Why it Falls Short and What Works Better for Cleaning Surfaces

But why does dish soap fall short in the cleaning department? It all comes down to the science. Dish soap contains ingredients that can etch surfaces like natural stone and strip away protective finishes on wood furniture, leaving them vulnerable to damage and deterioration. Additionally, its formula may leave behind residue on porous surfaces, leading to cloudy appearances and diminished aesthetics.

Enter Speed Cleaning™ products (and the science behind them) to save the day! 

Surfactants, short for surface-active agents, have molecules with two distinct parts: a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail. When Speed Cleaning products like Red Juice, for example, are applied to a surface, the hydrophobic tails of the surfactant molecules attach to the dirt and oil, while the hydrophilic heads face outward, surrounded by water. This action helps to loosen the dirt from the surface, allowing it to be easily rinsed away with water or wiped off with a cloth. 

Additionally, surfactants in Red Juice help to reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread more evenly across the surface and penetrate into crevices, further aiding in the cleaning process. Overall, the surfactants in Speed Cleaning products work together to effectively emulsify and remove dirt and grime, leaving surfaces clean and shiny.

Our Sh-Clean, Blue Juice, and Stainless Steel Cleaner are specially formulated with gentle yet effective ingredients to tackle tough messes without the risk of damage or residue buildup. Whether you're cleaning countertops, mirrors, or hardwood floors, our products are designed to deliver sparkling, streak-free results every time.

So say goodbye to dish soap dilemmas and hello to the science-backed cleaning power of Speed Cleaning™ products. Your surfaces will thank you for it!
