INTRODUCTION
 Cleaning agents or hard-surface

CLEANIN cleaners are substances used to

remove dirt, including dust, stains,
bad smells, and clutter on
G AGENTS surfaces. Purposes of cleaning
agents include health, beauty,
removing offensive odor, and
avoiding the spread of dirt and
contaminants to oneself and
others. Some cleaning agents can
kill bacteria and clean at the same
time.

 TYPES OF CLEANING AGENTS

DETERGENTS EXAMPLE
Detergent is a
substance that's used
for cleaning.
Detergent is similar to
soap, but it's stronger
and dissolves more
completely in water.
 TYPES OF CLEANING AGENTS

DEGREASERS EXAMPLE

Degreasers are
sometimes known as
solvent cleaners and
are used to remove
grease from surfaces
such as oven tops,
counters and grill
backsplashes.
 TYPES OF CLEANING AGENTS

ABRASIVES EXAMPLE
Abrasives are substances
or chemicals that depend
on rubbing or scrubbing
action to clean dirt from
hard surfaces. In
commercial kitchens,
abrasives are usually used
to clean floors, pots and
pans.
 TYPES OF CLEANING AGENTS

ACIDS EXAMPLE
Acid cleaners are the most
powerful type of cleaning
agent and should be used with
care. Acid cleaners are
generally used to remove
mineral deposits and are useful
for descaling dishwashers or
removing rust from restroom
facilities.

 ACTIVE
INGREDIENTS
Active ingredients are substances that directly help in
achieving the performance objective of a certain product
and intended to furnish the specified activity or effect. It
is just a part of the entire mixture. There are other
components or ingredients of cleaning products which
have specific purposes. The problem is that these
additional ingredients may pose harm to those having
allergic reactions.

INGREDIENTS
 SOLVENTS
A solvent is often used to increase the quantity of the
cleaning agent. The solvent is used to dilute the cleaning
agent, so it is present in greater amount. For instance,
ethanol could have 40% solution while bleach can be
present in as low as 5% solution
SOLVENT

HARMFUL EFFECT
IS IT
SAFE?
Solvents' vapors and mists
have various effects on
human health. Many of
them have a narcotic
effect, causing fatigue,
dizziness and intoxication.
High doses may lead to
unconsciousness and death.
 SOLVENT

EXAMPLE
Common examples of
solvents include water,
Salt Water Salt-Water
ethanol, methanol and
acetone. The term 'solvent'
can be defined as a
substance that has the
ability to dissolve a given
Solute solute to form a solution

with it.
 E
ENHANCER
S
Fragrance enhancers are added to products to removes the
unwanted odor like bathroom cleaners. Fragrances form
essential oils. Here are seven of the most popular scents
that are used in cleaning and household products, Forest
Rain, Sea Blossom, Fresh Breeze, Citrus Nectar, Green
Bamboo, Lavender Orchards, and Lush Lemongrass.
 EXAMPLES OF
PRODUCT

BREEZE LYSOL TIDE

FRAGRANCE

HARMFUL EFFECT
IS IT
SAFE?
Some fragrances do
contain certain allergens.
Fragrances are
highly scrutinized,
particularly in green
certified products so that
fragrances that contain
allergens are not present.
 MASKING
AGENTS
Masking agents are used to remove fragrance. For
sensitive users or prone to allergic reactions, scents are
being masked but not removed so the molecule of
fragrance is still in the product. Toxins may still be there;
they are just being masked.
EXAMPLES OF PRODUCT
 BUILDERS
Builders are present in detergents. Builders are substances
that prevent other contaminants from reacting with the
active ingredient in the detergent. These ingredients are
mineral salts that increase the cleaning power by raising
the alkalinity or pH of a product.
 BUILDERS

EXAMPLE
Baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate) is a builder.
Common builders
include sodium carbonate,
sodium metasilicate, and
sodium hydroxide.
Typically, builders are
used in cleaning products
when we want to clean oily
soils from surfaces.
 PRESERVATIV
ES
To keep the active ingredient functional and to maintain
the pH balance, cleaning agents must have preservatives.
Without a preservative, it is possible for bacteria or fungi
to grow in the product. This can cause the ingredients in
the product (like surfactants and enzymes) to break down
and not work as well. These may come in the form of salts
and organic reagents.
 EXAMPLE

ISOTHIAZOLONES BRONOPOL ALDEHYDE

 ANTIMICROBI
AL
REAGENTS
Microbes that cause infection or degradation also grow in
cleaning products. For that reason, cleaning agents must
also have antimicrobial ingredients. This also helps in
preserving the appearance of the product.
 ANTIMICROBIAL REAGENTS

EXAMPLE
The active
ingredient in some
hand sanitizers is
usually a type of
alcohol that acts
as an
antimicrobial that
kills bacteria.
 BUBBLE
ENHANCERS
Enhancing the covered area of the surfactant is the effect
of the addition of bubble enhancers. The formation of
foam/bubbles facilitates the surfactant by adding in the
accumulation of unwanted particles.
 BUBBLE ENHANCERS

EXAMPLE
It is a viscous liquid and is
used as a foaming agent in
bath products like shampoos
and hand soaps, and in
cosmetics as an emulsifying
agent. This helps increase
the amount of foam and the
size of the bubbles.
