🔬 The Science of Cleaning: Understanding Cleaning Agents and Their Effectiveness
Cleaning isn’t just about making surfaces look clean – it’s about making them hygienically clean. When we understand the science behind cleaning agents, we empower ourselves to make smarter choices that protect health, preserve surfaces and support the planet.
✨ Let’s elevate how we think about cleaning:
🧪 At its core: dirt, grime and pathogens require different tools. Some cleaning agents lift away oils through surfactants. Some dissolve mineral deposits with acids or alkalis. Some sanitise by breaking down microbes’ membranes or RNA.
✅ Effective cleaning does more than meet the eye: it reduces pollutant exposures, limits residues, and makes our environments safer and healthier.
🌍 Choosing the right product is key: match the right agent to the right task, and ensure you’re not compromising surfaces, health or environment in the process.
When done well, cleaning is a powerful act of care – for people, for places, for the planet.
