"Types of Cleaners "
Laundry soaps - These soaps are generally thought of as mild soaps used for
lifting soil, grease and organic compounds from an assortment

liquids and gels and can work in all water temperatures.

or hot water especially when removing grease or heavy soil.
Kitchen soaps - The two main types of kitchen soaps are dish detergents and
cleansers. Dish detergents are formulated to cut through
grease, suspend the soil particles in the foam and leave
a no residue shine. Hand dishwashing detergents are made
to work at lower temperatures and usually have more grease
removing capacity by producing more foam. Machine dishwasher
detergents are formulated to produce less foam and work
at higher temperatures. Often other agents are added to
the formula to provide a no residue rinse in the final dishwashing
cycle. Cleansers contain mild abrasives that help remove
stubborn stains and heavy soil. Some cleansers are more
abrasive than others the mildest being cream cleansers to
the harshest being powdered cleansers.
