Introduction

Cleaning plates with a special preparation

Even 30 years ago, housewives skillfully washed dishes using baking soda, laundry soap and running hot water. Often the pots had to be soaked, rubbed with metal scrapers, and washed twice. Today they do not have to spend a lot of time on kitchen cleaning - the process has become pleasant and easy.

The only problem is to find the very product that suits the cost, copes well with stains, is consumed slowly and smells delicious.

Compositions are divided into types:

• with enhanced properties
• for children's dishes
• with natural ingredients
• hypoallergenic brands

Children's and adult products: what are the differences?

There are differences between adult and children's dishwashing detergents. The composition of most standard gels and tablets for dishwashers has a more aggressive set of components with the inclusion of various additives (to maintain the thickness and durability of the foam, consistency viscosity, etc.), artificial colors and flavors.

The main difference in products for children and adults is the difference in the requirements for dishware preparations.

For newborns, the standards for composition and safety are much stricter . At the same time, the number of additional components that are needed to give a more beautiful shade to the gel, transparency, thickness, and a pleasant aroma should be absent or reduced to a minimum.

The label of the drug must contain a mention that it is intended for the care of children’s dishes.

Recommendations

Expert advice to help:

1. 
   If you use baby dishwashing detergent regularly, it is more profitable to purchase a large package and pour the required portions from it into a dispenser.

2. Even when using high-quality dishwashing detergents, the device must be periodically cleaned on a preventive basis.
3. Hypoallergenic products for children can be used by adults with allergies.
4. When purchasing a drug, it is important to check the expiration date.

1. Clearly known composition of the product.
2. Naturalness.

The disadvantages include:

1. The need to prepare the drug, time consumption.
2. Short service life of the prepared product.

• laundry soap without fragrances and additives;
• water;
• glycerol.

2. Add ½ cup of water.
3. Place the container in a water bath.
4. Stir until the soap is completely dissolved.
5. Add 5 small spoons of glycerin.
6. Stir.

In addition to detergents prepared from several components, mono-preparations can be used:

   Baking soda . Can be used for cleaning both light and heavy stains. It is convenient to apply it using a wet sponge using rubbing movements.

2. Mustard powder . Apply dry on a sponge or dilute a little with water to form a paste.
3. Vinegar. It is possible to use vinegar for additional processing when washing - to carry out disinfection. Dishes treated in this way must be rinsed very thoroughly several times.
4. Laundry soap . To use brown laundry soap for washing, you need to grate it and dilute it with water into a paste. This product (you can add natural lemon juice) can even wash children’s dishes.

Reviews from moms

Oksana, 28 years old

Recently my baby started drinking from bottles - not only milk, but also juices and water. These utensils should always be clean. But you can’t wash bottles with just anything. I chose the Eared Nannies gel. It is gentle, gives a light foam and quickly washes everything from the inside.

Yulia, 49 years old

I buy the best for my little granddaughter and try to take care of her health. In addition to environmentally friendly toys, I also take BioMio, a natural detergent for children’s dishes. No chemicals or other hazards.

Ulyana, 33 years old

I have three small children, and there are always a lot of dirty dishes in the kitchen. The special product Umka helps to cope with old fat and even dried milk. It is inexpensive, effective, but the most important thing is its naturalness and natural ingredients that will not harm children.
