Bleach, soda, baking soda, scourers, lemon, vinegar, detergents, degreasers… Although there is a large number of cleaning products available, they can all be classified into four broad categories. Abrasives, acids, alkaline and enzymatic and G2 Green has them all for effective and, above all, cost-effective cleaning
Everyone knows it… Water is probably one of the most basic cleaning agents, but it doesn’t work. You just have to mix water and oil in a glass to realize that something is not quite right. Some dirt can dissolve or drag… On its own, it is never enough. It is repelled by fat. In addition, it is not effective because it has high surface tension, forms drops and does not have a wetting effect. As if all this were not enough there is more: without surfactant power, in some cases it contains calcium and magnesium salts that reduce rinsing and make rinsing difficult… However, its effectiveness increases exponentially if mixed with other products. Therefore, before taking the duster and mop you have to know which are
the most suitable for each need
.
Classification of cleaning agents
They can be classified according to the main method by which dirt or stains are removed from the surface. By the way, it is something that is determined by its composition. It is important to help clean more effectively, efficiently, and, above all, to choose well because everyone has a unique goal to meet. These are the main ones:
Abrasives: scourers, sandpaper and certain minerals
Perhaps, the oldest way to clean and, therefore, the first. By friction. As simple and at the same time as complicated as rubbing and scratching. Cleaning professionals know that it is not an easy task and that it requires more effort. Thus, the cleaning action of abrasives depends on the presence of fine particles that, when applied on a hard surface, release dirt, also eliminating small imperfections and scratches. The most basic version is the scourer, but there are countless products that include glass, sand, sandpaper or steel wool.
There are alternatives that do not damage surfaces such as G2 Quitagraffitis
that easily eliminates both those made with marker and spray quickly and effectively and without having to use an abrasive treatment that can damage the support.
Also minerals such as feldspar, powdered pumice, calcite, ash, silica and even other more common elements such as salt or bicarbonate. They are available in natural, liquid, paste or powder form. Perfect for cleaning kitchen utensils; remove hard water stains and soap residues on tiles, sinks, toilets and faucets; Suppress rust on metal surfaces such as sinks or grills and also for scrubbing ceramic and stone floors. However, it is never enough. It may be the beginning, but we must go one step further.
Acids: lemon juice, vinegar and other chemical compounds
So far so simple. Cleaning of the most natural, but there is dirt and materials that always resist. Therefore, then there are the so-called acids that help break down some stubborn stains such as soap scum, also rust or mineral accumulations. They don’t fail. Any cleaning solution with a pH of six or less is considered acidic and that includes lemon juice and vinegar, but also coffee and even cola. Therefore, there are many myths that include them as effective cleaning agents and solutions for home use.
G2 WC Forte It is formulated with inorganic acids and humectants that allow to obtain excellent cleaning results on tenacious dirt due to incrustations on toilets and toilets. Cleans, deodorizes and removes dirt easily.
Those are considered soft because then there are extremely strong with high descaling power such as HLC or hydrochloric acid, sodium, sulfate and acetic acid, among others. Typically present in mold removers or bathtub and tile cleaners. Also in those used for toilets. So, for example, in the latter case if powder formats are used include soluble acid powder, chlorinated bleach, an abrasive to help when using a brush and an effervescent substance, which helps spread the active ingredient through the water.
Alkaline: ammonia, caustic soda…
On the contrary, all cleaners with a high pH are alkaline. That is, 6 or more and are very effective in removing fats, oils, proteins and other difficult dirt on various surfaces. The best known and most common are caustic soda or ammonia, but there are many more that use sodium as a base. For example, sodium carbonate is widely used in soapy detergents, unblockers, other
degreasing products
.
G2 Degreaser GALC-7 “SUP-GRASS” It is an alkaline of very high concentration, specially formulated to solve problems in extreme cases. It easily dissolves all types of fats and is perfect for extractors, irons, machines, garbage cans…
There is also perborate, perfect for removing stubborn stains and as a bleach at more than 40ºC. Just like hypochlorite, which also has disinfectant properties. For its part, baking soda is a good degreaser on smooth and delicate surfaces. A wide variety of general cleaners include them in their formulation, but they are especially useful when it comes to laundry tasks. Of course, we must be careful in their application because at high concentrations they are corrosive and toxic. Effectiveness with maximum caution.
Enzymatic: the most natural way to clean
And there’s still one more type of cleaning agent… Certain products contain toxins that can be harmful to your health and well-being, others do not eliminate stains and odors in depth, but simply perfume and mask them with fragrances. Therefore, there are also other compounds by microorganisms that produce enzymes such as

organic stains and also bad odors
