Combination of the 2...What happens to the other sock when a pair goes in the washing machine?

That is a mystery even Columbo couldn't solve

Should be
"half the active molecules are NOT wasted." ffs!

Don’t worry Chris, I can’t imagine anyone persisted with reading that far down... lol

Can somebody change the thread title to 'Dish Soaping' please?



Nah, didn't think so.

Koff with your daft American ways

BOOOOO

Geesh another American error I was unaware of. It's not a soap it's a detergent so calling it soap is worse than just misspelling aluminium.

Soaps are the salts of longish chain carboxylic acids, typically stearic acid. As such they form singly charged anions when dissolved in water - which presents problem in hard water areas where dissolved calcium, a doubly charged cation, will bind two separate ions together rendering the large molecule insoluble. The precipitation so formed is commonly known as rs or scum.

Washing up liquid is a detergent, not a soap. Detergents are similar but the carboxylic acid ending is replaced with a sulphate* group which is doubly charged. This means any calcium will only bind to a single molecule - ergo the product remains soluble - no scum - and half the active molecules are wasted.

So the liquid is not called a soap for a reason.

Having said all this, over in the land of the free I expect you may well still be using soap on the basis that, without a grasp of the science you can be sold something that's less effective and you need twice the amount due to wastage, plus then you can be sold something to remove the scum too - marketing isn't it?

*should we discuss the US inability to spell sulphate next?

See, this is why we swerved Gilligan's Island centuries ago...you just don't know how to have a laugh unless you're throwing chairs through windows of foreign cafes and pushing their elderly population in to fountains.

Eeeeenglaaaaaaaand

Just do what my mate and his house mates did when they lived in digs at Uni.

A couple of bags of paper plates, plastic cutlery and bin the lot after every meal.

Granted it wasn`t exactly environmentally friendly, but it completely cut out the need for washing up.

This is the man method of problem solving...feck the consequences, cut out all the middle bits. No water, no liquids, more time to play CoD. The world was built on such selfishness, the dolphins can do one.

Not holy, no padlock....always done it (washing up that is) ....
