All products contain an active ingredient that enables it to work. Some of them only have one
active ingredient, while others contain more than one. Cleaning managers choose their active
ingredients based on performance and desired effect, but it may not be enough just knowing
what the products do. So, knowing the “active ingredients”, usually in a water solution form the
backbone of cleaning ingredients.

Active Ingredient
o is the compound that acts to fulfill the function of the said product.
o is the reactive and functional ingredient of a household product.
o may have several mechanisms where it can remove stains from acid base, oxidation-
reduction, disinfectants, surfactants and dissolution (solvent-solute interaction).
o in cleaning products are usually antimicrobial pesticides added to kill bacteria, viruses,
or molds.

active ingredient while others may have more the one. The following are some of the factors you
