Usage
GENERAL CLEANING: Start with 1 part LDC and 5 parts water. This ratio may need to be increased depending on water hardness and degree of soil. Begin with 1 part LDC and 3 parts water in hard water locations. Store mix in squirt bottle.
FULL INSTRUCTION ON USAGE:
GENERAL CLEANING: Start with 1 part LDC and 5 parts water. This ratio may need to be increased depending on water hardness and degree of soil. Begin with 1 part LDC and 3 parts water in hard water locations. Store mix in squirt bottle.
IN THE KITCHEN: Small amount of mix on wet sponge for kitchen surfaces. Just a short squirt cleans a sink full of dishes, pots and pans, glassware, flatware, and ceramics.
IN THE LAUNDRY: For hand-washing delicate fabrics, synthetics, knitwear and woolens, linen and fine cottons use 1/2 capful of LDC in sinkful of cool water. Agitate and work gently through fabric. Rinse twice and allow to air dry. Pre-treat spots and stains with LDC and then do laundry as normal. Excellent for wash and wear fabrics.
AROUND THE HOME: Small amount of mix on wet sponge for walls, woodwork, vinyl, formica, appliances, bathroom fixtures, and tile. For windows and mirrors just a few drops per 16 fl oz/500 ml of water.
IN THE WORKSHOP: Automobiles, boats, awnings, outdoor furniture: dilute 1 part mix with 10 parts water (2 fl oz per gal/16 ml per L) in a bucket. For greasy hands, put a few drops on wet hands, rub together and rinse off.

Three Active Surfactants
Three surfactants are combined to form a high foaming, mild
detergent system with excellent cleaning capabilities. The
highly- concentrated system also allows LDC to be diluted
with water 3-to-1, or more for some jobs, and still act as a
very effective cleaner.
Unique Triple-Action Formula
The three surfactants are a class of chemicals known as
“surface-active agents”. This group of chemicals acts as
emulsifiers, solubilizers and wetting compounds. The
surfactant molecule has an oil-soluble (hydrophobic) portion
at one end and a water soluble (hydrophilic) portion at the
other end. This enables the surfactant to surround the oil
and have its hydrophobic portion in the oil and its hyprophilic
portion in the water. With this arrangement, the surfactant
can suspend oil in water, which is called emulsification.
These surfactants are not only excellent emulsifiers, they
also reduce the surface tension of water. Surface tension is
the reluctance of water molecules to break apart, and is the
reason water forms beads on hard surfaces and allows
small soil particles, fabric or string to remain on the surface
of the water. Surfactants dramatically reduce the surface
tension of water, allowing the “wetter water” to penetrate
fabric and spread evenly on hard surfaces.
Reduces Surface Tension
The reduction of surface tension enables diluted solutions of
LDC to penetrate soils on hard surfaces and in fabrics.
When the diluted LDC has penetrated the soils, it begins to
emulsify and solubilize the soil. With some mechanical
action, such as washing dishes, scrubbing fabric, etc., the
soil is lifted off the surface and emulsified or solubilized in the
wash water.
LDC’s voluminous foam is an indication of its activity. As
LDC emulsifies and suspends increasing quantities of soil in
water, the foam will eventually disappear. At this point, all of
LDC’s surfactants are working in the solution to suspend
soil in the wash water.
Completely Water-Soluble
LDC has a pH of 7.00 and is completely water-soluble. It
rinses away completely, leaving no soapy film. Use it to
wash your car’s windows or your walls and woodwork. With
no rinsing or buffing, surfaces will dry free of annoying films
and streaks.
Turn LDC’s detergent action loose on tough jobs too! Its
quick-acting surfactants lift off burnt-on food on pots and
pans, opens drains, and even help your weed killer
penetrate the ground faster.
Even with all its power, LDC is still gentle on your hands,
safe for your family’s world.
Completely Biodegradable
All of the surfactants in LDC are biodegradable, which
means that they are broken down by natural biological
action. This capability helps to eliminate suds and foaming
problems in our lakes and streams. It does not harm septic
tanks, sewage disposal systems or water treatment plants.
