Household Cleaners. Most people are aware that household cleaners are not intended for the skin and the chemicals used in them can have an irritating effect on the body. These including all-purpose cleaners, dish detergents, laundry detergent, window cleaners, furniture polish, drain cleaners and toilet disinfectants.
Builders in detergents also maintain alkalinity, which helps emulsify grease and prevents soils from being redeposited on clothing during washing and rinsing. Another difference between soap and detergents is the ingredients used to make each product. Most soap is made from natural ingredients such as coconut oil and potassium hydroxide. Detergents often contain synthetic ingredients such as dyes, sodium laureth sulfate, disodium phosphate and fragrances.
