Long-lasting fragrance and clarity in floor cleaner
Question
How can I make fragrance in floor cleaner long-lasting and dissolve clearly in water? Can Eucalyptus oil, Flora Fix™, and Flora Solve™ Clear be used together, and what is the appropriate ratio?
Answer
Hello! Regarding making the fragrance in floor cleaner last longer and dissolve well in water, the ingredients you mentioned - Eucalyptus oil (which is a type of fragrance), Flora Fix™ (fragrance fixative), and Flora Solve™ Clear (fragrance solubilizer in water) - are suitable for this purpose.
- Eucalyptus oil: Provides the scent.
- Flora Fix™: Acts as a fragrance fixative, helping to slow down the evaporation of the fragrance and make the scent last longer. This directly addresses your goal.
- Flora Solve™ Clear: Acts as a fragrance solubilizer, helping oil-based fragrances to disperse and dissolve clearly in the water-based floor cleaner base without separating.
However, the 1:1:1 ratio you asked about may not be the most optimal.
Generally, a fragrance fixative (Flora Fix™) is used in a smaller amount relative to the fragrance. For example, you might use Flora Fix™ at a ratio of approximately 10-30% of the amount of fragrance you are using.
The amount of fragrance solubilizer (Flora Solve™ Clear) needed is typically just enough to make the mixture of fragrance and fixative dissolve clearly in water. The exact amount required depends on the specific fragrance and the quantity used. You may need to experiment to find the right ratio of Flora Solve™ Clear to achieve the desired clarity. Generally, it is used in a slightly higher ratio than the total amount of fragrance plus fixative.
Recommendation:
- Mix the fragrance (Eucalyptus oil) with Flora Fix™ first.
- Gradually add Flora Solve™ Clear to the fragrance+Flora Fix™ mixture, stirring until you get a clear liquid (no cloudy appearance).
- Add this dissolved fragrance mixture to your floor cleaner base at your desired fragrance concentration (e.g., 0.5-1% of the total formula, depending on preference).
It is recommended to start with a small test batch to find the best ratio for the desired long-lasting scent and product clarity.
