chemical cleaners

Synthetic washing products

Chemical cleaners are manufactured cleaning products that use synthetic compounds to remove dirt, grease, stains, or germs from surfaces.

The term distinguishes them from natural or homemade alternatives: She switched from chemical cleaners to vinegar and baking soda.

Common examples include bleach, ammonia-based sprays, and commercial degreasers.
