What is the history of Cascade dishwasher detergent?
156559
I don't think you'll be able to find the product lifecycle of Cascade without contacting the manufacturer, Procter and Gamble. \n\nBut there was this information of the P&G web site:\n\nCascade Powder automatic dishwasher detergent with sheeting action for virtually spotless dishes was introduced in January 1955 in a pine scent with blue/green granules. The Lemon scent was added in 1984. Cascade Liquigel automatic dishwashing detergent was introduced in 1986 in a liquid-clay-based formula with a creamy consistency. Cascade is currently available in powder, gel and tablet forms.

All soaps and detergents are they way they are because they're amphoteric substances. That means one end of the molecule is a fatty chain that repels water but loves nonpolar chemicals. the other end of the detergent molecule is polar and probably carries a charge. This side likes water.\n\nSo what happens is the fatty chain clings to greasy things and the polar or charged end clings to water. This brings your greasy stains closer to the water in your wash and off of your clothing.

It depends. Some dishwashers have their own heating core so you could use it independantly of the "boiler" (I am assuming you mean the water heater and not an actual boiler that is used to heat a home).\nHowever, unless your dishwasher is brand new/state of the art it probably doesn't heat water on its own.  Like someone else said, you can use it, but it won't do much to activate the detergent since most detergent requires at least warm water to be effective.\n\nTime to use the oldest and best dishwasher avaiable. Heat a pot of water and wash them by hand! (or get the boiler fixed)

If AOsept was discontinued, does anyone know of similar cleaning solutions? I noticed a few were mentioned in other replies. Problem is - I'm allergic to preservatives. As far as I know Aosept was the only preservative free cleaner out there? Anyone know of others?

I'll answer the last part of your question first. Soap is made up of polar molecules. That just means that one end of each molecule is different from the other like the poles of a magnet. One end dissolves in grease and fats while the other end dissolves in water. Since most really dirty things are fatty and greasy, this means that one end of each soap molecule sticks to the dirt on your hands while the other end sticks to the water running over them. This washes the dirt away. Why not use plain water? If you don't have soap plain water will help get you clean but because of surface tension water won't stick to grease so you will never get completely clean. Another class of cleaners solves this problem. Detergents reduce the surface tension of water allowing it to clean better. Look at the list of ingredients on your cleanser. If one of them is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, your cleanser is a detergent. Now for the first part of your question. Long ago people found that you could make a cleaner by heating lard (renderings from animals killed for food) with potash, an alkali produced by burning wood, probably for cooking the aforementioned food. This discovery was probably accidental, the result of being in the right place at the right time. It took place so long ago that the discoverer (or discoverers, it probably happened in several places at different times) is lost in history. BTW. It's no coincidence that many of today's soap producers are owned by or connected to slaughter houses and meat producers. Do some research on Procter and Gamble. Your teacher will be proud of you.

I have used a clean and clear soap for many years!  It is awesome and I highly recommend it.  I don't remember the exact type of soap, so here's what the bottle looks like, and you can't miss it.  It's an orange soap in a clear bottle with a dark purple pump.  You won't regret this $3.50 purchase, but make sure you are washing your face for a full 30 seconds.  That's why they recommend singing the happy birthday song when you wash your hands and face.  Many people don't wash long enough for washing to be effective.  Best of luck to you!

I feel biodegradable detergents are good for the environment.  I like the coconut-based ones best, particularly the shampoos.

Maybe you are allergic to your soap or laundry detergent.

Any washing liquid will be a mixture of various substances, usually water-based.\n\nStandard components are detergents - molecules with a polar and an apolar end which can absorb on fatty (lipophile) substances and provide solution in the polar medium with their polar end. Classical soaps are sodium salts of fatty acids.\n\nOther ingredients vary strongly with the purpose of the washing up liquid. Perfumes, enzymes to digest specific types of pollutants, bleaching agents (usually oxydative), emulgators, Calcium-removers (like polyphosphate, zeoliths or chelating agents)...

Go to the local grocery store, and look for "washing soda" in the cleaning supplies section.  If you look at the fine print on the box/bag, it may say "Sodium Carbonate" or "Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate" \n\nHave fun, and good luck with the experiment!

It is prepared by sulphation of 1-dodecanol (lauryl alcohol, CH3(CH2)10CH2OH) followed by neutralisation with sodium carbonate.\n\nIt is an ionic surfactant that is used in household products such as toothpastes, shampoos, shaving foams and bubble baths for its thickening effect and its ability to create a lather.
