In today's modern world, convenience is key. This need for convenience permeates most basic tasks, such as cleaning our homes. All of us seek ways to lessen the time we devote to keeping our homes clean while maintaining a sanitary home environment. We all know, however, that cleaning is a time-consuming and often laborious task. Despite the recent undoubted progress in the quality of

household care products, there is still room for cleaning products to fully leverage cutting-edge developments in chemical innovations in order to make cleaning a more efficient task. In response to this, Clariant developed Aristocare Smart, a high-performance, multi-purpose hydrophilic polymer. Aristocare Smart is an additive that can be added to all types of cleaners to deliver not only high-quality results but also to maintain the cleanliness of surfaces for longer. Cleaners that integrate this new polymer can now combat soils, including soap scum and calcareous buildup, effortlessly and significantly reduce spotting and streaking from product and water residues.
