Phosphates and the Choking of Aquatic Life Phosphates are the main cleaning ingredient in many detergents and household cleaners because they break down dirt particles and remove stains by softening the water and allowing suds to form, which enhances the cleaning power of the detergent. Not only can you come in contact with caustic chemicals via your clothing, from having been laundered in them, but you can breathe them into your lungs once they become airborne in the process of doing your laundry
Can you wash dishes without soap? (grey water forum at permies)
Being an ovo-lacto vegetarian household, we don't have oily, greasy, fleshy pots and plates to clean up, which is where the soap really comes into play, as was mentioned. The vinegar neutralizes the film of baking soda that will remain and your plate will be absolutely clean, using minimal water, baking soda, and vinegar
How to Make Homemade Laundry Detergent
I guess that shows that everything old is new again! Reply Cathy says April 2, 2013 at 6:12 pm I just started making my own homemade laundry soap and I love it! I make a 5 gallon bucket up. As someone TTC, Ive decided to steer clear! Reply Tonya says August 20, 2012 at 5:26 pm How much of this stuff do I used? My different bottles of laundry detergent bottles have different size caps
If you like the translucent look and wants it throughout the soap next time, you can try covering the whole soap mold with kitchen towels after pouring in the soap mixture - this will help retain heat and gelling will more likely reach the edges of the soap block. Can I use something for fragrance and when do I put it in the mix? Donna, April 18th, 2011 at 7:35 am: I always add my essential oil at a light trace that way I have time to blend it in before the trace gets to heavy and seiges up the soap
And your health is worth taking care of....it costs so much more to try to get it back after you lose it! The SUN oxygen cleaner from Dollar General is the cheapest I have found anywhere, and I use it because it is found to not have toxic chemicals in it and zero fragrances (the nasty stuff). And also, as I said in the article, you can't leave food on the plates; it's just not that kind of cleaner, but then, most of the natural dishwasher powders won't dissolve the food
Homemade Dishwasher Detergent (Soap) and Rinse Agent
Should I use more of the Fruit- Fresh or find a different citric acid? Also, is sour salt the same as your citric acid? Matt Jabs says October 17, 2010 at 9:58 am Calcium citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid. My reasoning was that the glass of vinegar would be added more slowly throughout the wash cycle and flush the dissolved calcium salts before they precipitate and the vinegar in the rinse cycle would take care of the rest of the calcium
Measuring Surface Tension of Water with a Penny
Does dish soap give different results from hand soap or laundry detergent? What about pouring in something like salt or sugar?

Science fair project: Making Antibubbles
(Don't shake it hard, or it will take hours for the misty mixture to settle out.) MORE INFO: For more information about all of this, find a local library with back issues of Scientific American magazine. Look closely at your antibubbles under bright light, and you'll see that each one has "soap film colors." But in this case we should call them "air film colors." The color of soap films (and of oil on water) are caused by light reflections from a very thin, transparent layer

Science Fair 2014
At every level the student proposes a topic, develops an understanding about the topic, explores it a bit further, and reports his or her findings to an audience. Students must budget their time, completing tasks, keep to an overall schedule, and complete their experiment early enough to have ample time for making conclusions and retesting results if necessary for confirmation and confidence

Stop Slumping: What Makes Foams Stand Up Straight
Analyzing Your Data Charts For each data table, calculate the average distance from the starting level to the top of the liquid for each time increment. Experimental Procedure Note: Because the test tubes and rubber stoppers used in this experiment are not "food-grade" (designed for food preparation), and because raw eggs are not safe to eat, you should not eat any of the foams you make in your experiment
Note: Perfectly good bubbles can be made without adding glycerin, but adding glycerin keeps the water from evaporating and makes the bubbles much stronger and longer lasting

The Science Behind Bubbles - KIDS DISCOVER
But if you seal a bubble by flipping it off your wand, the tension in the bubble skin shrinks to the smallest possible shape for the volume of air it contains. Raised in Maryland and Alabama, Robin now lives with her husband in the Coast Range of western Oregon where she especially enjoys observing the wildlife on her property
To be fair, you should hold the bubble wand in front of a fan instead of trying to blow on it, that way you know that the amount of air being blown to make the bubble will be exactly the same
The Ultimate Bubble Solution - ScienceBob.com
Because of the way that soap molecules are arranged, and the way they attract and repel from each other and the water, the soap creates bonds that give the water additional strength, and allow them them to last much longer. Bubbles will always be round when they are floating because the elastic nature of the soap bubbles allows air pressure to push equally on the entire surface of the bubble forming a sphere

The detergent helps trap the bubbles produced by the reaction so you get better lava.Add 2 tablespoons baking soda to the liquid.Slowly pour vinegar into the bottle. The resulting mixture should be smooth and firm (more water may be added if needed).Stand the soda bottle in the baking pan and mold the dough around it into a volcano shape
