There are three main ingredients in your household cleaning products - surfactants, fragrances, and preservatives.
Surfactants are cleaning and foaming agents, which have the ability to remove dirt and bacteria from clothes, skin, and dishes.
Fragrances are added to make the cleaning product smell more appealing and to give your home a fresh, clean smell.
You use your cleaning products to get rid of bacteria and dirt - that’s why the cleaning product itself needs to contain preservatives to avoid becoming infected with bacteria and yeast.
