Dr. Herbert Sinner, a former chemical engineer for Henkel, first summarized the basic principles of cleaning in 1959. His summary, now referred to as the Sinner’s Circle (Seen Left), describes the four factors that can be manipulated in any cleaning scenario, Temperature, Chemical Reaction, Tim and Mechanical Action. When the effectiveness of any factor is reduced, it must be compensated with the increase of one or multiple other factors. Washing dishes is an effective example of how the four factors interact. Hot water (temperature) is going to remove stuck on food better than cold. Adding soap (chemical reaction) makes the process even easier, and you can either soak a dish overnight (time) or scrub the dish clean (mechanical action). Gamajet utilizes the “mechanical action” to its maximum benefit, resulting in a drastic reduction of the three remaining factors, time, chemical, and temperature.
