FAQs

About detergents

Is it safe to use detergents obtained with EcoX solutions?

Yes. EcoX cleaning products – when the methods of use described on the label are fully followed – are safe to use in a home or professional environment as they have been laboratory tested by certified scientists.

In the specific case of the SOAPY ® Kit, dermatological tests were also carried out by external entities to prove its safety for adults and children.

Why should we recycle used cooking oil?

Frying oil should never be drained down the sink drain or into the toilet, as it has a negative impact on our homes, the public network, the climate, the aquatic environment and the soil.

According to data from Quercus, one liter of used cooking oil is enough to contaminate one million liters of water (a quantity sufficient for a person to survive for 40 years).

If they use used cooking oil to make detergents, won't this also contaminate the water?

No. Oil in its normal state is, in fact, contaminating because when it does not mix with water it creates a layer on the surface, preventing the exchange of oxygen with the atmosphere and the entry of solar radiation into the water.

With EcoX solutions, the oil is completely transformed into fatty acids and glycerol which, in turn, are miscible with water and 100% biodegradable.

Many detergents on their labels indicate that they are biodegradable. How are yours different?

Saying that a product is biodegradable – whether liquid or solid – does not reveal the conditions under which this can happen, namely time.
Ideally a product should decompose into by-products when left in the environment and this should happen within a short period of time.

As a rule, for a detergent to be considered biodegradable, the surfactants that constitute it must be 60% degraded after 27 days. The surfactants used in EcoX formulations are highly biodegradable, degraded by microorganisms found in nature. Depending on the environment in which it is found, 60% of it biodegrades naturally in less than 24 hours after use. This happens because the absence of branches in the structures of the carbon chains in EcoX detergents largely facilitates the degradation carried out by microorganisms in the environment.

Can I use any oil in SOAPY®? And can I use it right after frying?

EcoX solutions are developed and tested in the laboratory to work with different oils such as vegetable oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil and olive oil (olive oil).

You can use it right after frying. However, the oil must cool to room temperature. After cooling, you should filter any solid particles using a napkin or strainer to ensure you have oil suitable for the EcoX process.

After using the mixer or hand blender in the SOAPY® process, can I use it to cook?

Yes. The process of transforming cooking oil used into cleaning products will help to sanitize the mixer or hand blender.

However, we recommend that you wash the moving parts with plenty of water at the end of use.

When carrying out both SOAPY® experiments, do I need to buy another kit?

No. When carrying out the kit experiments, you can just choose to purchase a refill of the same kit or another SOAPY® kit and thus reuse the remaining kit material, such as glasses, gloves, tank and spatula.
