The Power of Oxygen
Compartir
At Corporate Facility Supply, every product has a story, and many of those stories continue to teach us valuable lessons today. This post, written years ago, reminds us how curiosity and small adjustments can lead to better solutions. Some truths in cleaning science remain just as relevant now as they were back then.
Oxygen
The most essential element on the periodic table without a doubt is oxygen. Without it, life fails to exist. Without it, many cleaning processes do not work as well.
For years, we have focused on using stronger chemicals to remove soils. Recently, we added a new product to our line, Stella Pot and Pan Soap. We designed it with all the water conditioners needed to make it effective, long lasting in solution, and able to remove soils quickly.
But one thing was missing: oxygen.
My testing team, which mostly consists of family members, helped me realize something important. The stuff does not foam enough, they said.
True, I replied, but it removes grease from everything it touches.
It does, they agreed, but the foam dies and then it stops working.
So I decided to boost the foam and see if it worked better. I did, and it does.
Lesson learned. The power of oxygen in cleaning is just as essential as the wetter water that detergents bring to us. Foam is not necessary in most cleaning processes, but when you are cleaning things with a lot of soil, it certainly helps.
