家事皂的好处与用法

很多朋友问我什么是家事皂。
我说是洗碗，洗衣的肥皂。
她们通常会说，现在哪里还有人用肥皂洗衣洗碗。

在接触手工皂以前，我大概也这样认为吧！
其实家事皂还真好用！

放一块在洗碗槽边，碗筷，锅碟，灶台，桌布，地板等厨房清洁工作都可搞定，
加了咖啡的家事皂还可去除如鱼腥、油污等异味。
放一块在厕所，洗贴身衣物，清洗洗脸盆，洗马桶，洗瓷砖，浴缸。。。

先来说说为什么不要用一般的洗涤剂，因为它们含许多界面活性剂和防腐剂等化学物。

什么是界面活性剂？简单的说，就是能把水和油混合起来的化学物·。

界面活性剂是从20世纪50年代开始随着石油化工业的飞速发展而兴起的一种新型化学品，它几乎渗透一切技术经济部门。当今，界面活性剂产量大，品种超过万种。随着世界经济的发展以及科学技术领域的开拓，界面活性剂的发展更加迅速。其应用领域从日用化学工业发展到石油、食品、农业、卫生、环境、新型材料等科技部门。但在界面活性剂给人们生活、给工业、农业生产带来极大方便的同时，也给环境带来了严重的污染。

简单的说在每个家庭里，举凡洗碗精，洗衣剂，厕所、地板洗涤剂，化妆品、保养品、洗发精、沐浴露、香皂、、、等的日常用品都含有界面活性剂。

根据世界环保单位调查统计指出，地球上水质和土壤的污染，有70%来自于每个家庭所排放出来的污水。

这些制造清洁剂、化妆品等等的石化原料，随着泡泡流进河流，再流进大海。这些化学物质很难被分解，造成环境生态的严重污染。

天然的手工皂的产物就只是脂肪酸钠（皂盐）和甘油。
手工皂洗出来的物质，流进沟里，二十四小时就被分解掉。环保又不伤身体。


来说说家事皂的用法：

1. 家事皂可代替洗碗精，用湿海绵或菜瓜布沾一沾家事皂，然后像平常一样洗碗碟，
    可搓出很多泡泡，去除油污，容易冲洗，而且不残留。
    不习惯用肥皂洗碗碟的朋友，可取一按压瓶，加入一小片家事皂，加水泡溶就成洗碗精。

2. 用家事皂洗衣物，一点也不输给一般洗衣粉及洗衣剂。
    脏衣服进洗衣机前，可用家事皂先在衣领上擦一擦，再放进洗衣机里。
    脏鞋子、脏袜子很难去除的污垢，都可洗净。

3. 清洗贴身衣物，清洁又杀菌。

4. 可用来清除厨房及厕所的瓷砖污垢，还可清洗油腻的灶台和桌布。

5. 清洗小孩衣物、玩具等，减少化学物质残留。

6. 可在厕所放一瓶泡浓一点的的家事皂水，用来清洗马桶，避免吸入一般马桶清洁剂的强烈 刺鼻又伤身的气味。

7. 用来洗地板，只要加入一些家事皂水在水桶里，像平常一样拖地。

8. 洗过衣服和玩具的肥皂水可以拿来浇花，环保又可驱虫。


以上是修妈妈使用家事皂的一些心得，跟大家分享一下。

开始使用或者不太习惯，但可以环保，又可避免化学物质入侵身体，值得推荐给大家。
