Project description

Detergents used in everyday life for cleaning and washing are a source of water pollution and can have a negative effect on human health and the environment.

To reduce their negative impact, a new trend of using only purified water for washing and cleaning applications is emerging. A scientific basis for this method needs to be established, as its mechanisms and efficiency should be better understood.
