Hydrochloric acid is a builder that can be found in household cleaning products. We use it to make a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Hydrochloric acid can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that is more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that is more alkaline, might be more effective as a carpet cleaner. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. We also sometimes use hydrochloric acid as a cleaning agent that removes hard water deposits.

For competitive reasons, the supplier of this cleaning agent (surfactant) has asked us to keep the details confidential, and we are legally bound to do so. But we can tell you that it is a cleaning agent (or blend of cleaning agents) that we use in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they are attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Ethoxylated alcohol is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that can also be found in a variety of products including toothpaste and shampoos. Ethoxylation is the process of treating a fatty acid alcohol to give it detergent properties. We use ethoxylated alcohol in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they are attached to, so they can be rinsed away.
