Cleaning Chemical : What is it?
| Cleaning chemicals are solutions formulated to clean the different parts and surfaces of the house, including floors, ceilings, walls, counters, windows and even appliances and furniture pieces. They are designed to lift and take away dust, debris, and dirt from an equipment surface, usually keeping them suspended in water for an easy rinsing and cleansing. Some chemicals also kill germs, bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that tend to develop in various surfaces and cause unpleasant odor, discoloration, and other damages. |

Kinds of Cleaning Chemicals include the following: |
Water

Surface active cleaning agents
- Surface active cleaning agents are primarily formulated with surfactants.
- They are formulated to suspend debris and other small materials that often do not remain suspended with water.
- They are available in three subtypes, including cationic, nonionic, and anionic. The anionic surface active agent is the most popularly used.
Acid or alkali cleaning agents
- Acid or alkali cleaning agents are primarily intended for high-fat debris or those that are of high temperature.
- They effectively remove mineral deposits and high-protein debris.
- They are commonly p\formulated with chlorinated alkaline, gluconic acid, and phosphoric acid.
Chlorine compound cleaning agents
- Chlorine compound cleaning agents contain chlorine compounds.
- They are formulated to react with protein and high-fat debris.
- The chlorine in the ingredient kills the bacteria, germs, and microorganisms in the surface or residue.
