Alkaline water
Alkaline water -
Scientifically, pure water is supposed to have hydrogen content (PH) of
7. A liquid with a PH below 7 is acidic and one that has a PH above 7 is
basic. As alkaline is the base, water is said to be alkaline when it
has a potential for hydrogen of more than 7. This kind of water can also
be termed as ionized water. It provides health benefits like
neutralizing imbalances of chemicals and minerals in the body. In
addition to that, ionized water can also be used for cleaning at home.
What to clean?
Alkaline water -
Carpets:Cleaning a carpet with this water will leave it absolutely
clean. If you have ever taken your carpets to your local carpet cleaner,
you must have noticed that they use detergents and chemicals to loosen
the dirt in the fibers. In addition to that, the foam formed by the
detergents is never completely eliminated from the carpet. This means
some residue will always remain behind. By using ionized water, the
entire residue is bound to be removed, as the molecules are slippery and
so move through the carpet fibers more easily than detergents.
Clothes:
According to the University of Washington, most laundry detergents
contain toxic chemicals. We never know about this because such chemicals
are never listed with the ingredients of the detergent. To avoid the
introduction of toxic chemicals in to your clothes that might affect you
in the long run, the use of ionized water is the solution. You do not
have to worry about stains, be they oil, grease, coffee or soup. Without
toxic chemicals, it can penetrate through the fabric easily and gently
without causing any damage to the fabric.
Concrete pavements and
walkways: If you have concrete pavements and walkways around your home,
after a period of time they get dirty with soil, oil and grease. That
means you need to have them cleaned once in a while. You may hire a
local cleaner to do the job or purchase a high pressure power washer. If
it is dirty with only soil, you should not have a big problem flushing
it out, but if oil and grease are included then an alkaline based
cleaner is what you need. This will help scrub the grease faster and
more easily.
How to make ionized water?
Alkaline wateris
available in various forms. One of the most ways is by the use of an
Alkalizer. Using such an Alkalizer is the easiest way, because you
simply put water in it and then after about five minutes, your water is
ionized. The Alkalizer can also be fitted to your tap water system to
simplify the process. You can also get alkaline water by adding alkaline
ingredients to the water. Adding ingredients like PH drops and lemons
to water is actually the cheapest way to ionize water. For lemons, one
simply squeezes the juice into water, while PH drops can be bought from
pharmacies. There are various types, but Alkalive's PH Booster is one of
the common ones you can easily get.
