Why Choose Spotluss Over Other Washing up Liquid?
Spotluss delivers the perfect balance of performance and skin-friendliness, with a powerful citrus cleaning action that tackles grime in seconds. Its concentrated formula ensures excellent cost-efficiency, while its compliance with food safety regulations makes it a trusted choice for professional caterers and kitchen teams.
Why Phosphate Free?
Phosphates are often used in washing products because they help soften water by preventing the calcium and magnesium ions in tap water from binding with surfactants that help make the molecules more slippery.
Their use creates two main benefits: less insoluble soap scum that then leads to more effective cleaning. Phosphates have a low toxicity to the environment and the human bodies do not readily absorb them. However, they cause nutrient pollution to the water supply because they are not biodegradable, and they lead to exponential algae growth. This poses a huge problem to the oxygen supply of aquatic life.
Even though legislation has reduced the limits of phosphates allowed around the globe, they are still permitted to varying degrees.
