Calcium Carbonate: The Unsung Hero of Our Glass Cooktop Cleaner
At Therapy Clean, we put a lot of thought into each ingredient we use. While our plant-derived ingredients often steal the spotlight, there's another key player that deserves attention: calcium carbonate. This natural mineral is an unsung hero in our Glass Cooktop Cleaner, and today, we want to highlight what makes it so special.
What is Calcium Carbonate?
Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral found in limestone, marble, and chalk. It’s also present in the shells of marine organisms, eggshells, and pearls, showcasing its wide presence in nature. This versatile compound has found its way into countless applications, from building materials to everyday household products, and for good reason.
Why is Calcium Carbonate Effective in Cleaning Products?
One of the unique properties of calcium carbonate is its mild abrasiveness. It’s just abrasive enough to help scrub and polish surfaces effectively, yet gentle enough that it won’t scratch or damage delicate materials. This makes it an ideal ingredient in a variety of cleaning products—it's even used in toothpaste to help remove plaque without harming your enamel. Its gentle cleaning power makes it a fantastic choice for household surfaces that need a safe yet effective polish.
How is Calcium Carbonate Used in Therapy Clean Products?
At Therapy Clean, we incorporate calcium carbonate into our Glass Cooktop Cleaner and Polish to give you the best of both worlds: powerful cleaning and delicate care. Glass cooktops can accumulate baked-on food debris that’s often difficult to remove. You need a solution that can break down these contaminants effectively, but without risking scratches or damage to the glass surface.
That’s where calcium carbonate comes in. Its gentle abrasiveness works to lift away tough, cooked-on residue, leaving your cooktop sparkling clean without a scratch in sight. And since it's a naturally derived ingredient, it’s also safe for human contact—no worries about irritating your skin or exposing your family to harsh chemicals.
