Abstract

Cleaning reagents are a common substance in every household and are used in everyday lives, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world. These have been part of the household for hundreds of years. It is essential to remove dirt and germs not only from the clothes but also from the human skin. It is also used to remove stains, dust or unpleasant odours from the body and the clothes. These are available in various forms, such as powders, granules, liquids and sprays. Cleaning reagents are generally manufactured in two ways: naturally and synthetically. The most frequently used synthetic cleaning agents are soaps, detergents, body cleansers, etc. But the environment is affected when the soap water or detergent water is disposed of through the sewage, which then eventually goes to the environment due to presence of non-biodegradable and toxic chemicals. So, it becomes necessary to replace these harmful cleaning reagents with the greener ones to reduce the harmful influence on the environment. Some of the green cleaning reagents are natural soaps, homemade products such as baking soda, lemon juice, vegetable oils and, plant and fruit extracts, HNT, microbial cleaning, biosurfactants, plants-based surfactants. This review article aims to focus on the greener cleaning reagents, which can be great alternatives compared to the present harmful cleaning reagents for better effects on the environment and for human safety.
