Solvents in Household

Making cleaning easier

The solvents in household cleaners helps us clean our kitchens, showers, toilets, carpets and other household items. For example, solvents used in washing machines help clean our clothes by dispersing and dissolving dirt. Solvents also help with disinfectant tasks by lowering surface tension and enabling the disinfectant to get into all the nooks and crannies of the surface. Solvents give products a longer shelf life and also ensure product stability: the first capful is as effective as the last capful.
