Various gels, all kinds of sponges and brushes come to the rescue in this ordinary, but not the most beloved business, and dishwashers for the lucky few. But today we will talk about the first and most common helpers – dishwashing detergents, and at the same time we will choose the best in 2022.

The first predecessors of the products known today appeared more than 100 years ago in Germany during the First World War and were called upon to at least partially cover the shortage of soap. Since then, the desire for a comfortable life and the growing opportunities of the chemical industry have pushed this market segment far ahead.

Dishwashing detergents mainly consist of water converted to gel and chemically synthesized compounds – surfactants (surfactants). Their function is reduced to the splitting of contaminants on the dishes. The remaining groups of substances in the composition are variable and depend on the capabilities of the manufacturer and the desires of buyers, their main task is to enhance the action of surfactants. Additional substances improve the consumer properties of the detergent, for example, they disinfect dishes, give a pleasant aroma, and reduce the damage caused by the product to the skin of the hands.
