  • Which manual dishwashing liquid will have stronger cleaning power?

    Posted by Abdullah on December 4, 2024 at 9:42 am

    Product A is a popular formula here and almost all manual dishwashing liquid has this formula here.

    Product B is my formula and it is supposed to be milder and have equal or better cleaning powder.

    Water is very hard well water

    All in active

    Product A

    Sodium labsa 10%

    SLES 7%

    NACL 2%

    pH 7

    Product B

    SLS 4.74%

    SLES 6.3%

    Cocamide DEA 1.5%

    PH 10.

    Product B has a lot of alkali and needs 3.5% citric acid to reduce pH to 7.

    Question:

    Which product will have stronger cleaning power as manual dishwashing liquid in very hard well water?

    As written I guess A but it seems that some ingredients are missing in B
