Less water required
October 1st 2011 Independent research,
commissioned by Deb, has
shown that when using foam
soap, people use 16% less water
than when using liquid soap.
However, the company says
water savings can be increased
further by adopting Deb's
recommended foam soap hand
washing technique -dispense,
lather, tap on, rinse. By switching
to this method Deb suggests
people could use up to 45% less
water compared with liquid soap.
Additionally, as less water is
required for rinsing, there are also
savings to be made in energy use
and CO2 emissions.
Using less product does not
equate to less efficacy; according
to Deb, research showed that
there is no significant difference
in the cleaning ability between
0.7ml of Deb foam soap
compared to 1.1ml of the lotion
soap, confirming that the same
efficacy is delivered from foam
with less product.
Finally, using a foam hand wash
translates to more washes in the
same amount of packaging. More articles from Deb Limited: |
