Q. DOES SUNLIGHT DISHWASHING LIQUID NEED BUBBLES TO CLEAN?

No, the bubbles are only for aesthetic purposes.

Q. WHAT AFFECTS DISHWASHING PERFORMANCE?

• The main factor in non performance for dish washing liquids is metals present in the water being used.
• Over the past few years Australia’s water has been depleting quickly, this has caused a concentration of metals in the water that is left. As the water is evaporated the concentration of metal ions within this water has also increased.
• Contaminants in the air have also increased over the years, these contaminants also include metals. When it rains, these contaminants are incorporated into the rain droplet on the journey groundward.
• The roofing materials, plumbing and storage unit used to capture and transport the water can also play a part in the metal content of the water.
