The era of mainly using water without cleaning aids.
Projects
Household Cleaning 4.0
Under the leadership of Dr. Chuan Ma, our team studied the history and current situation of household cleaning additives, The concept of House Cleaning 4.0 was officially put forward at the first China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai in 2018. Our company started the Household Cleaning 4.0 project to promote the joint efforts of manufacturers and consumer markets around the world to make household cleaning enter the 4.0 era as soon as possible.
The use of cleaning aids can be summarized into the following periods since human beings have the awareness of cleaning themselves and their surrounding environment:
-
Household Cleaning 1.0
-
Household Cleaning 2.0
The era of natural cleaning aids, for example, honey locust was used to help wash clothes.
-
Household Cleaning 3.0
The era of using industrial cleaning additives based on chemical compounds. With the modern industrial revolution and the rapid development of science and technology, various chemical cleaners can be developed and industrialized for large-scale production. The price of cleaning additives is getting lower and lower, which can be popularised in an all-round way, and has brought great convenience to people's life. At the same time, the extensive use of chemical compounds, on the one hand, brings huge consumption to non renewable resources, such as oil, on the other hand, causes a large number of chemical waste gas, wastewater and waste solids, and brings great trauma to the ecological environment. At the same time, chemicals entering the human body can also cause many health problems.
At present, most countries in the world are still in the late era of Household Cleaning 3.0. In order for mankind to have a sustainable development future, to give ourselves health and a beautiful environment for our future generations, we need to find a way out of the era of Household Cleaning 3.0 without greatly affecting people's quality of life.

Household Cleaning 4.0
Since the late last century, in some developed countries, such as Australia, some visionary people have recognised the harm of chemical cleaning additives to mankind and began the R & D and production of a new generation of cleaning additives. After decades of investment and accumulation, a large number of mature product lines have been established and widely accepted by local consumers.
In the era of Household Cleaning 4.0, modern technology and production processes make it possible for people to process natural plant based raw materials with cleaning effect on an industrial scale, produce products with the same or even better cleaning effects as chemical cleaners, and minimise the harm to human health and the environment. This is mankind's return to nature, but it is a new height compared with the era of Household Cleaning 2.0.
