Principles of SONETT Ecological Laundry:

• Products are 100% biodegradable, breaking down completely in water into natural components within hours to days.
• Sonett refuses to use additives harmful to the environment and human health.
• Raw materials used in production come from biodynamic or organic farming or wild collection.
• Water used in production is biodynamically rhythmed, and mixtures of energetically potent herbs and essences of precious stones and metals are added to Sonett products.
• Sonett is the only eco-detergent manufacturer with two eco-certificates.

Like with the detergent, SONETT limits the softener to necessary and acceptable ingredients and refrains from using fillers, phosphates, and other petroleum-based softeners like NTA (nitrilotriacetate) and EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid).

Origin and Properties of Individual Components:

Zeolite A, the main component of the softener, is made from two easily accessible raw materials: sodium silicate and sodium aluminate, which are common clay minerals. This silicate works on the principle of ion exchange, capturing calcium and magnesium ions that cause water hardness and thus softening the water for washing with a detergent based on pure vegetable soap. Soda, made from lime and table salt, forms a chemical compound with the calcium in water, removing some of the substances that cause water hardness. Citrate, the salt of citric acid obtained by fermenting by-products rich in sugar, such as molasses, binds calcium even at lower temperatures.

Biodegradability:

Zeolite A is an insoluble mineral in water, similar to sand, which settles as a solid in sewage sludge without the need for further breakdown. Soda, also of mineral nature, does not require further degradation. Citric acid, as an organic substance, is completely broken down into carbon dioxide and water within 2-3 days.
