Household Cleaning Products

This document discusses various household cleaning products including detergents, bleach, air fresheners, and disinfectants. It explains that detergents contain surfactants that form micelles to trap grease and dirt. Bleach uses chlorine to break the bonds of stains like food dyes. Air fresheners spread fragrant molecules through diffusion or as aerosols to mask odors. Disinfectants like alcohol and chlorine damage microbial proteins to kill germs. In summary, it outlines common cleaning products and how they work to remove dirt and odors or kill microbes from household surfaces and fabrics.

OBJECTIVES
 At the end of the lesson,
you should be able to
give examples of
household cleaning
products and explain the
need to use them.
Cleaning products contain
substances that remove dirt,
stain, and bad smell. There are
different cleaning products, and
some of them are used to clean
surfaces such as bathroom
tiles, floors, sinks, and drains.
Others are used to clean
clothing, blankets, and curtains.
Cleaning products
include detergent, bleach,
air freshener or purifier,
and disinfectant.
DETERGENT
A detergent contains
surfactants, which are
substances with cleaning
properties. Surfactants
have long water-insoluble
hydrocarbon tail and water-
soluble polar heads.
When these molecules
are placed in water, they
form micelles. They orient
themselves with the
hydrocarbon tails, sticking to
one another while the polar
heads are pointing outwards
and into the water.
A mixture of detergent and
water is a colloid. Micelles are
dispersed throughout the water,
so the mixture appears cloudy.
When oil or grease is present,
the micelle disperses and
entraps the grease. When the
detergent is rinsed out, the
grease comes with it.
BLEACH
Bleach is a household
cleaning agent used to
removed dyes and whiten
clothing. The color that stains
white fabrics typically arise
from organic dyes and
pigments. For example, when
carrot juice spills on your white
garment, the pigment beta-
carotene binds with the fabric.
Chlorine-based bleach is
used to break the chemical
bonds of the pigment. The
pigment is changed to a
different substance that do
not absorb visible light.
Hence, the stained garment
appears white again.
AIR FRESHENER/PURIFIER
Air freshener or purifier is
used to emit fragrance in
different spaces at home,
especially in restrooms. It can be
in the form of spray, candle, oil,
bead, or gel. Its main purpose is
to eliminate or mask unpleasant
odors. Its name is misleading
though because it does not really
freshen or purify the air.
Solid or liquid air fresheners
(candle, oil, bead, or gel) have volatile
fragrant molecules. These molecules
easily change from solid or liquid into
gas, even at room temperature. When
they mix with air, they move via
diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of
particles from higher concentration to
lower concentration. Hence, the air
freshener molecules spread out across
the room.
Spray air fresheners are
aerosols. Aerosols are colloids
of solid or liquid particles in
gas. The fragment molecules
dissolve in air. When these
molecules are allowed to
escape their spray containers,
they mix with air, and the
fragrant smell spreads.
DISINFECTANT
A disinfectant is an
antimicrobial household
product. It kills
microorganisms on surfaces
of inanimate objects. Note
that it is different from
antiseptics, which are used
on living things to kill
microorganisms.
The effectiveness of a
disinfectant depends on the
number of microorganisms,
environment (temperature),
time of exposure, and nature of
microorganisms.
Most disinfectants, such as
alcohol and chlorine, work by
denaturing proteins of
microorganisms. When their
proteins are damaged,
metabolic processes are
disrupted, causing death.
KEY POINTS
• Cleaning products contain
substances that remove dirt,
stain, and bad smell. They
come in different physical
forms such as solids, liquids,
and aerosols.
• Cleaning products include
detergents, bleaches,
deodorizers, and disinfectants.
