Product Ingredients

Water

Water, also sometimes listed on product labels as aqua, is the most widely used of all solvents. It is a colorless, odorless and flavorless liquid and serves as the base of many cleaning products.

Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium hypochlorite is an essential ingredient in bleach and a variety of cleaning products, serving different functions depending on the concentration level and product formulation. For example, in Clorox's EPA-registered disinfecting and sanitizing products, sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient that helps to kill certain germs. In laundry and cleaning products it can help clean, remove stains and whiten. In Liquid Plumr® products, it helps break down tough clogs.

Lauramine Oxide

Lauramine oxide is used in laundry and other cleaning products as a primary cleaner, foam enhancer, stabilizer and thickener.

Benzyl Benzoate

Benzyl benzoate is a commonly used fragrance ingredient found in cleaning products, cosmetics, and personal care products. It has been identified as a potential allergen by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, an advisory board to the European Union.

Fragrance

Fragrances and perfumes are mixtures of fragrant essential oils, aroma compounds, fixatives and solvents. They are used in cleaning products to add a particular scent (lavender, lemon, etc.) to clothes and homes, and to mask unpleasant odors. Clorox provides a separate list of all the fragrance ingredients used in our household and professional cleaning, disinfecting and laundry products.

Postassium Iodide

Potassium iodide is a type of salt, which among other uses, is added to table salt as a nutritional supplement. In small quantities it can be used as a stabilizer for sodium hypochlorite-based bleach products.

Sodium Chlorate

Sodium chlorate is one of the substances that results from the natural break-down of sodium hypochlorite bleach. It further breaks down into sodium chloride (table salt) and oxygen.

Sodium Chloride

Sodium chloride is also known as table salt and rock salt. It is commonly used in detergents, hand dish soaps, liquid laundry soaps and fabric softeners to thicken and stabilize formulas.

Sodium Cocoate

Sodium cocoate is the salt form of coconut fatty acid. Sodium cocoate is used as a surfactant in cleaning formulations to aid in dirt and grease removal, or as an ingredient to help solubilize fragrance oils.

Sodium Hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye, is used as a pH adjuster in cleaning products. As an alkali, it is useful in cleaning products for removing soils that are fatty, oily or acidic.

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer

Styrene/acrylate copolymers are materials that act as opacifying agents (ingredients that make a formula appear opaque), and are able to bind minerals such as calcium and magnesium (known as water hardness), enabling a cleaning product to remove hard water stains.
