Preparation of a Laundry Detergent with Softness and Antibacterial Properties
Detergents have been widely used as important washing products in daily life.In this work,safe and environmental-friendly raw materials were selected,together with sterilization ingredients derived from traditional Chinese medicine herbs to improve the antibacterial activity of multifunctional detergent product.Amphoteric surfactants of soft properties are added to endow the product with the ability to make the clothes softer after washing.The preparation conditions of multifunctional laundry liquid were optimized via orthogonal experiment.The results showed that the content of surfactants has the greatest influence on the washing effect,followed by emulsifying temperature and emulsifying time.The stability,cleaning capacity and bactericidal activity of the multifunctional detergents were determined,revealing they not only have good detergent performance against edible oil,red ink and milk,but also possess good bacteriostatic activity against Escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus.The softening effect has also been improved compared to before cleaning.
