Water
This will help to lubricate the dirt and it also acts as a vehicle to apply the other main ingredients of the cleaning chemical: surfactant, bacterial agents and perfume.

Surfactant
Surfactants will loosen up the dirt and may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents and dispersants. This will help break down the structure of the dirt and make its removal easier.

Bactericidal Agent
This acts to identify and then directly kill germs. If these tiny organisms are dealt with quickly they can grow into fungus, spread further dirt and possibly lead to harmful airborne bacteria.

More money than scents?
How perfume can affect price
Perfumes trigger intense feelings and emotions, those bought on the high street are will contain around 60 different ingredients, that is why they are so expensive to produce. A perfume in a washroom cleaner is not as complex, but nevertheless a fragrance in a quality cleaning chemical will contain about 30 ingredients.
The perfume in the economy version, will contain a pleasant fragrance but using fewer ingredients and the smell may not last as long.
What about unperfumed cleaning chemicals?
Kitchen cleaning chemicals are odourless to prevent food contamination. So the difference between these products varies due to the performance of each chemical.
The products may well be tested to the exact same standards but offer different results for instance an effective kitchen cleaner will carry the EN1276 logo. This is the European Standard which specifies that a sanitiser must be 99.999% effective at killing bacteria within 5 minutes, on a clean surface.
However, this is only part of the story. A quality product will seek to not only pass the relevant standards but it is designed to make your life easier. The Jangro Kitchen Cleaner Sanitiser for example kills 99.999% of bacteria with a contact time of 30 seconds in tough conditions. So is much faster at cleaning dirt than cheaper options.
There are other factors that will determine the final price of a cleaning chemical such as the quality of the container and the effectiveness of the trigger head.
Ultimately, when it comes to sourcing professional cleaning chemicals there is no right or wrong, just choices and preferences based on cleaning efficiency and cost-in-use.
Whatever, your cleaning regime or budget, if you want to make a positive impression Wray Bros will help.
