Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a well-known scrubbing agent that is added to certain cleansers [1].
Alkyl Polyglucoside is a mild, nonionic surfactant that is frequently added to cleansers due to its detergency and wetting properties [2].
Sodium carbonate has anti-microbial properties that support proper cleansing of various surfaces [3].
Sodium bicarbonate is well-known for its ability to help polish various surfaces, including silver and it neutralizes bad odors (e.g., mildew) [4].
Multi-purpose cleaner (Home/Car/Office) [1-4]
The main component in limestone is calcium carbonate, which is a base substance that helps neutralize as well as remove impurities and pollutants [1].
Alkyl polyglucoside is soluble, biodegradable, and highly alkaline, thereby promoting exceptional detergency (cleansing), low filming and streaking, and easy rinsing [2].
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sodium carbonate is found naturally in soil and water, it does not appear to cause adverse effects on wildlife or contaminate water, and is therefore, considered green [3].
The antimicrobial properties of sodium carbonate make it a beneficial additive to cleansers and it is environmentally (e.g., fish) friendly in low concentrations, and it is a strong alkali base that is often added to green cleaning products due to its wide range of uses that include a microbicide, pH adjuster, fungicide, and herbicide [3].
Sodium bicarbonate has a high acid content that provides neutralizing properties and it is also a buffer against decay [4].
