Claim: "Alternative" detergent products contain a modified form of water.

Fact: Chemical analyses of globe products which claim to have altered the water molecule to some new structure show that these products contain only water with some dye. (2) Thus, one would expect the performance of these products to be equal to laundering in water. This, in fact, is what actual wash testing of these products shows. Stain removal tests completed by reputable laboratories all conclude that the detergent "alternatives" clean no better than water. (3)

Because water is the most common and important material on earth, the search for new forms of water, which scientists call phases, has intrigued researchers for hundreds of years. We all know the water phases of ice and steam. Several other phases have in deed been discovered, most of them fairly recently. However, all of these phases invariably appear at either extremely high or low temperatures, extremely high pressure, or with the use of isotopes of the hydrogen and oxygen that make up water. None of th ese phases ever forms at conditions that could occur inside a small plastic container in a washing machine.
