Cleaning is defined as the removal of germs, dirt, and impurities. Cleaning doesn’t kill germs but lowers their number and risk by physically removing them from surfaces. Disinfecting, on the other hand, refers to killing germs with chemicals after cleaning. There are different cleaning products in Panama to achieve each goal.
Finding the right product for the job can be tough, so Green Cleaning Services have researched the best cleaning products for all types of cleaning.

Ingredients of Cleaning Products in Panama
Surfactants
Surfactants provide most of the cleaning power in your cleaning products today, but other ingredients are also needed to make the best products possible.
Some surfactants are very good at removing some types of soils, but not very good at removing others. Many cleaning products include two or more surfactants in the formula. The choice of surfactants determines where the product will work best, such as for laundry, dishes, or counter-tops.
Builders
Builders give the surfactants a helping hand by attracting magnesium and calcium, leaving surfactants free to do their work.
Builders help make the surfactant more powerful by reacting with minerals found in your home’s tap water (such as calcium and magnesium). The more minerals in your water, the “harder” the water is. It is not bad to have minerals in water, but it can leave white marks on surfaces. When calcium and magnesium are present in water, they will stop surfactants from doing their job of removing soil.
Solvents
Solvents are chemicals that help ingredients stay mixed and give cleaning products the right thickness, so they are easy to use.
Enzymes
Enzymes are powerful stain removing ingredients and help us to wash clothes in cold water.
When added to a detergent formula, each enzyme will be attracted to a certain type of stain (like gravy or grass).
Once the enzyme finds a stain it likes, it gets to work breaking it down into smaller pieces and removing it from the surface we are trying to clean.
Fragrances
Fragrances are a group of ingredients that provide the cleaning product with a pleasant smell. They are not found in every product, and typically a very small amount can make a large difference in smell. In many cases, the fragrance is the driving factor for why someone decided to buy a specific product.
A fragrance is a mix of many different substances. These ingredients may be natural compounds (that come from materials like flowers, fruit, trees, plants, or nuts), essential oils, or synthetic compounds. Lavender and lemon are two common fragrances that can be found in cleaning products in Panama.
Preservatives
A preservative is a substance added to a cleaning product to make it stable and safe for a longer period. Without a preservative, it is possible for bacteria or fungi to grow in the product. This can cause the ingredients in the product (like surfactants and enzymes) to break down and not work as well.
pH Adjusters
pH adjusters make sure that the product is effective while balancing safety, in part, by making sure the pH will not be harmful if it touches your skin.
Antibacterial or Disinfecting Ingredients
Antibacterial or disinfecting ingredients can be included in a cleaning or hand hygiene product or used separately after cleaning. Their use provides a further reduction in germs on our hands or surfaces in our homes.
