Is it possible to wash dishes with Pemolux: can it harm the dishes and health?

To answer the main question right away: it is strongly not recommended to wash dishes with Pemolux powder. Especially when it comes to non-stick pans, plastic utensils, or utensils made from fragile and easily damaged materials. He will definitely ruin this one.

Pemolux powder

Exception
A special gel “Pemolux” is produced, created exclusively for dishes. Of course, they can be used to wash dishes and pots. The product does not contain a hard abrasive and is not as caustic compared to powder. Although the reviews about this product are very cool, and this should be taken into account when choosing.

Why can't you use Pemolux?

It would seem that powders under this brand are positioned as relatively harmless and natural. The manufacturer assures that there are minimal chemicals and surfactants. And, it seems, the product has proven itself to be excellent over many years of being on sale. Alas, according to the law of the genre, there are several significant “buts” here, especially for those who care about the health of their family and the safety of their dishes.

Washing dishes

The following components cause the greatest concern:

  1. Ground marble. There is probably no need to explain that such a product can purely mechanically damage a huge number of surfaces, even if diluted with water. And it is likely that marble particles will somehow get stuck in the microcracks of the dishes and end up in the food.Although there is no official data that this can somehow harm health, there is no benefit in it either.
  2. Soda. Although it is harmless to the body and hands, it is also an abrasive substance. In combination with marble chips, sodium bicarbonate can cause irreparable damage to dishes. And arguments for natural cleaning products, “which grandmothers used before all this chemistry,” are inappropriate here, since even the older generation knew that not everything could be cleaned with soda, and the choice of dishes was not at all as wide as it is now. And it was much more difficult to spoil it.
  3. Sodium sulfate or sodium salt of sulfuric acid (E514). The substance has fairly high cleaning properties, is not prohibited in Russia, and is considered moderately dangerous. Frequent contact with E514 can have a laxative effect and cause intestinal problems. What can we say about its ingestion! Strong sodium sulfate, of course, is not capable of harm, but it will certainly cause problems with digestion.
  4. ABOUTbleach. Its presence in Pemolux is rather an exception, because it is included only in a special whitening series of products. But for dishes this is unacceptable in any form.

If you still have to wash with Pemolux

If for some reason you still need to clean kitchen utensils with Pemolux powder, you should remember and strictly follow the rules that will help you not harm yourself and the utensils:

  1. The most important rule — after using Pemolux, be sure to wash the dishes thoroughly with soap or other means. And after that, rinse thoroughly with water several times.
  2. Under no circumstances should utensils made of wood, porous plastic or glossy ones be washed with Pemolux.
  3. It is necessary to reduce skin contact with the cleaning powder. Any rubber gloves will do for this.
  4. If you need to clean old grease, burnt dried food and other difficult-to-clean stains from a delicate surface, the dishes should be soaked in warm or moderately hot water, adding Pemolux. Leave for no more than 10 minutes, after which pour out the water and rinse the surface. Under no circumstances should you rub it with powder. And only after that you can start washing with other means.
  5. Simple frying pans, frying pans and pots without special coatings can be cleaned with Pemolux powder if you need to wash something specific or polish them after long use.

The opinion of the resource purity-en.htgetrid.com regarding washing dishes with products not intended for these purposes is quite clear: it is not recommended and is permissible only in extreme isolated cases, subject to all the rules described above.
