Preparing for Valentines Day

So, you’ve decided to make an effort this year. There’s someone you believe deserves to be spoilt and you are going to cook them your fabulous signature dish. There will be candles, there will be wine and there will be romance…

There’s a lot to organise to make sure the evening is perfect and making sure your house is sparkling clean will be part of that. It will be a real shame if your special guest sees dirty tableware and is put off the gorgeous meal you’ve made.

Start with making sure the cutlery and crockery is clean. While filling a sink with hot water, pour in some dishwashing liquid.  Now you can use a traditional cleaning product here like Blendwell Chemicals Greendet. Alternatively, you can opt for an eco-friendly product like Enviroblend Greendet love the planet at the same time.

You don’t need to use a lot of either of these cleaning products – just a small squirt to create some foam. Now you don’t want too much foam as this will actually make cleaning more difficult. To clean your dishes you should use a cloth or soft sponge. Abrasive sponges should only be used for really stubborn dirt. Even your cutlery can be scratched by a sponge so you will want to be gentle (while still being tough on dirt). If you’re struggling to get a pot clean, first try soaking it with really hot water a squeeze of dish washing liquid and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then try to clean.

If you have double sinks, you should fill the other sink with warm water to rinse your cleaned dishes. Leave the dishes to drip dry a little and then give a final wipe with a clean, dry cloth before packing away.

You will be able to find all the cleaning products you need at Blendwell Chemicals. We manufacture a massive range of cleaning products including food safe, HACCP compliant cleaners and green cleaning products too. Our factory is in Midrand, South Africa and we are your best local cleaning chemical supplier.

When it's his turn to do the dishes...

If the man of your household is anything like my awesome husband, it’s been so long since he last did the dishes that he can’t possibly remember how to do them. However, the excuse of doing it badly just so I won’t ask him to do it again, is not going to work. So next time it’s his turn to wash the dishes I’ve got some tips for him to wash them in an eco-friendly way.

Firstly, use hot water. This will help to cut through the grease. You will also wash your dishes more effectively, if you run a sink full of hot water and dish washing liquid. This sink should have enough water in it that the dishes can be fully submerged. Be sure to not use too much dishwashing liquid as this will hamper the cleaning process. Then fill a second sink or a tub with more hot water for rinsing.

You should always use the greenest cleaning product that you can find. Most eco-friendly cleaning products are developed not only to be easy on the environment but also easy on the people who use them. They are usually not as harsh on the skin as traditional cleaners. Make sure that your dishwashing liquid only contains plant-based surfactants. All of the dishwashing liquids made by Blendwell Chemicals only contain plant-based surfactants. You can also add vinegar to the sink that you rinse in as this will help break down the soap.

Allowing your dishes to air dry is also the most eco-friendly and safe way to dry them. When drying with a dish towel, if there are any bacteria or germs on the dish towel, these will be spread to all the dishes.

How to choose the right dish washing liquid

Blendwell Cleaning Solutions offers many different types of dishwashing liquids. We have created many different types so that you are able to choose the one that is perfect for you. Many people are not aware of this but using too much dish washing liquid can make your dishes dirty by leaving streaks.

Because of this, using a dishwashing liquid that is very concentrated will cause streaks if you use too much. A concentrated dishwashing liquid will also cost a lot more than a less concentrated washing liquid. Usually it will make more sense if you have staff members choosing how much of the cleaning product to use, it will be better to choose a less concentrated dish washing liquid. At the same time if there is a high amount of grease that will need to be regularly washed away you will need a more powerful cleaning product.
