At Heritage Park, we are committed to using the highest quality, safest, and most effective ingredients in our laundry detergents. One of the components in our formulas is Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate (TGD). This ingredient plays a crucial role in ensuring your laundry comes out fresh, clean, and free of residue.
What is Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate?
Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is a chelating agent and water softener. Its primary job is to bind with metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron that are commonly found in tap water. These minerals, if left unchecked, can interfere with the cleaning power of detergents by reducing the effectiveness of surfactants (the cleaning agents that lift dirt and oil from fabrics). By neutralizing these minerals, TGD allows our detergent to perform at its best, even in hard water conditions.
Why We Use Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Enhanced Cleaning Power: By softening water and preventing mineral buildup, TGD helps our detergent deliver superior cleaning results, leaving your fabrics spotless and fresh.
- Eco-Friendly Choice: TGD is readily biodegradable, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional chelating agents like EDTA. It breaks down quickly in the environment, minimizing its ecological footprint.
- Protects Fabrics and Machines: Mineral deposits can not only dull fabrics but also cause buildup in washing machines over time. TGD helps prevent this, keeping both your clothes and your washer in peak condition.
- Preserves Detergent Efficacy: TGD stabilizes the detergent formula by preventing metal ions from degrading other ingredients, ensuring a consistent, high-performance clean every time.
Safe and Effective for Your Family
As with all of our ingredients, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate has been carefully selected for its safety and effectiveness. It's gentle on delicate fabrics and tough on dirt, ensuring your laundry is clean, soft, and free of irritants. Plus, its environmental benefits align with our commitment to sustainable, planet-friendly laundry care.
By including Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate in our detergent, we ensure you get the cleanest, freshest results -- while staying kind to the environment.
