What are they and how to choose them correctly?
Window cleaners differ in composition. Main varieties:
Products in which the main component is alcohol. It can be different:- isopropyl (dissolves fats and light dirt well, does not require rinsing, is inexpensive),
- benzyl with the addition of surfactants (copes well with complex pollution),
- ammonia (perfectly removes even stubborn stains, does not leave streaks on the glass, gives it shine).
- Means based on vegetable surfactants (surfactants). Such compositions are safe for human health, do not harm the environment. They are not capable of causing allergies, do not have a pungent odor, and cope well with dust, dirt and glass degreasing. However, it is more expensive than liquids based on synthetic surfactants and alcohols.
In addition to the main components, auxiliary substances are added to glass cleaners. They are needed to enhance the effect. These include:
- Antistatic agents. After processing the glass with such a liquid, small particles of dust and dirt from the air will not adhere to it, so the windows can be washed less often.
- Silicone. It lays down on the glass with a thin invisible film, increasing its dirt-repellent properties.
- Acid. You do not need to choose such products for cleaning windows. Compounds with acids will be effective when cleaning the bathroom, as they have the property of dissolving limescale.
- Water-repellent substances... They prevent rain drops from lingering on the glass, so that it stays clean even after several showers.
When buying detergent you need to pay attention to the following points:
- price - not always a high cost - is a guarantee of quality, often it consists of the markup of the outlet and brand awareness, although more economical brands may have a similar composition;
- smell - it should be pleasant and not harsh;
- packaging features - it is most convenient to use a container with a spray;
- safe composition - it should not contain toxic components that can harm health.
