10. How does the surfactant in the new ADVANAGE pick up grease and oil?
To thoroughly remove grease and oil (whose chemical properties cause them to reject water), the cleaning liquid and oil must mix together so that when wiped, the oil and cleaner are removed as one.
If the oil and cleaning liquid do not combine (emulsify – the mixture of two unblendable liquids), then the oil will remain on the surface and the cleaning materials.
ADVANAGE’s proprieatry surfactant chemically interacts with oil and water and breaks down the surface tension (barrier) between the two liquids. This causes the two to mix together, thus making it easy to clean without leaving any residual stains on the surface or the cleaning utensils.
