    Hello everyone,
    I am facing problem in liquid dishwash

    It decolorized after three months from yellow to white liquid. What is possible cause. 
    Dishwash composition is:

    Lapsa, soda ash

    SLS, SLES, TSP
    Nacl , Cocobetaine. Lemon color
    Preservatives:
    EDTA, methyl parabin
    Ph-8,  Specific gravity- 1.05
    What is its solution?

    @Asad_Nazir Did the pH of your product remain the same after those 3 months? Or did it drop?

    Did you neutralize LABSA to pH 7 before adding all the other ingredients?

    @Asad_Nazir It might be possible that you have an excess of NaOH, and that makes the dye degrade. You could try with a different dye (Liquitint or Hostatin type) or neutralizing with TEA instead of NaOH.
