    Dishwashing liquid (washing-up liquid in British English), also known as dishwashing soap, dish detergent, or dish soap, is a detergent used in dishwashing. Dishwashing detergent for dishwashers comes in various forms such as cartridges, gels, liquids, packs, powder, and tablets. [1] It is usually a highly- foamy mixture of surfactants with low ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_rot_treatment

    A surfactant such as dish soap, is recommended in water-based preparations. It has been reported that boron fungicides react with the cellular structure of the wood whereby the boron is deposited, and it is this process which can to varying extents harden the dry rot, depending on the degree of degradation of the wood.

  5. Boric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_acid

    Boric acid is a weak acid, with p Ka (the pH at which buffering is strongest because the free acid and borate ion are in equal concentrations) of 9.24 in pure water at 25 °C. But apparent p Ka is substantially lower in swimming pool or ocean waters because of interactions with various other molecules in solution.

  6. Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite

    The reaction can be written as: −OCl + H+ ⇌ HOCl. Sodium hypochlorite solutions combined with acid evolve chlorine gas, particularly strongly at pH < 2, by the reactions: HOCl (aq) + Cl− + H+ ⇌ Cl2(aq) + H2O. Cl2(aq) ⇌ Cl2(g) At pH > 8, the chlorine is practically all in the form of hypochlorite anions (OCl−).

  7. Formic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid

    Formic acid (from Latin formica ' ant '), systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid, and has the chemical formula HCOOH and structure H−C (=O)−O−H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants. Esters, salts and the anion derived from formic acid are ...

    Uses. When using a dishwasher, the user must select a special detergent for its use. [1] All detergents are designed for use after the user scrapes leftover food from the dishes before washing. [2] To function, the user places dishes in the dishwasher in such fashion that the surface of all dishes is open to the flow of water.

  9. Insecticidal soap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insecticidal_soap

    Insecticidal soap is used to control many plant insect pests. Soap has been used for more than 200 years as an insect control. [1] Because insecticidal soap works on direct contact with pests via the disruption of cell membranes when the insect is penetrated with fatty acids, the insect's cells leak their contents causing the insect to dehydrate and die. [2]
