Benefits Of Dishwashing Liquid Foam

Let’s learn more about the benefits of foam in dishwashing liquid and what makes it so powerful on your dirty dishes.

What is dishwashing liquid foam?

When you put a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid into a sink full of water and agitate the water, light, fluffy foam appears on the surface. We’ve all experienced this process, but very few of us really know what that foam is meant to do.

How does dishwashing liquid foam help to clean dishes?

Dishwashing liquid is primarily made from a range of powerful-cleaning agents including compounds called sulphates, which are the foaming agents in detergents. When surfactants dissolve in water, they create a dishwasher foam which contains powerful cleaning properties. The foam works to dissolve dirt, grime and grease on our dishes and remove them completely. The dirt remains in the water, and your dishes are left sparkling and clean. Always make sure you rinse your dishes once you’ve washed them for an extra shiny finish.

What’s the difference between high-foam and low-foam detergents?

Some dishwashing liquids are high foaming and others are low-foaming detergents. Both types of products offer grease and dirt-cleaning properties.

Sometimes, having too much foam is not necessary and it can actually become too much when trying to handwash your dishes. Ideally, you want to choose a product like Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid that creates just enough foam to get the job done without being irritating or overwhelming.
