(ELI5) Why Vinegar (Acid) rinse aid is important.
Imagine your kitchen table is a bit messy with some sticky and greasy spots on it. You want to clean it up, so you grab a surface cleaner. Now, this cleaner needs to be really good at removing those sticky and greasy spots. That's where vinegar, which is an acid, comes in handy!
Vinegar contains a special acid called acetic acid. This acid is great at breaking down and dissolving things like grease and grime. When you spray vinegar-based cleaner on the table, the acetic acid goes to work by attacking and loosening up those sticky and greasy spots.
But why does the acid in vinegar do this? Well, the acid molecules in vinegar are like little superheroes. They have a special power that helps them grab onto the molecules of grease and grime and pull them apart. It's like they have tiny hands that can break down the sticky stuff into smaller pieces, making it easier to wipe away.
So, when you wipe the surface with the vinegar-based cleaner, it picks up all the broken-down grease and grime, leaving your table nice and clean. The acid in vinegar helps to make the cleaner more effective in removing those tough spots that water alone might not be able to get rid of
(ELI5) Why rinse aid is important.
Imagine you have a magic wand that can make things disappear, but sometimes when you wave the wand, a little bit of dust or dirt gets left behind. That's where a rinse aid comes in!
When you use a surface cleaner, it helps to remove dirt and grime from the surface. But sometimes, even after you clean, tiny bits of the cleaner can be left behind. These bits can make the surface look dull or streaky, and they can be hard to remove.
A rinse aid is like a special helper that you add to the cleaning process. It works by making the water slide off the surface more easily, without leaving any residue behind. It's like giving the surface a nice, clean shower after the cleaning is done!
The rinse aid helps the water to spread evenly and form a thin, transparent layer that dries quickly. This layer helps to prevent spots and streaks from forming on the surface, leaving it shiny and clean.
So, using a rinse aid in a surface cleaner is important because it ensures that the surface is thoroughly cleaned and doesn't have any leftover cleaner or residue. It helps to make things sparkly and streak-free!
Rinse aid in rare cases can cause mild allergic reaction or dry out skin avoid direct skin contact.
