Many all purpose cleaners don’t contain bleach, unless they specifically say ‘with bleach’ on the label. Instead, these cleaners use active ingredients such as sodium hydroxide, sodium metasilicate and C9-C11 alcohol ethoxylate to clean effectively. Working together, these substances are designed to cut through grease and dirt, break down proteins and evaporate quickly without leaving residue behind.
All purpose cleaners containing bleach can be more effective when cleaning mould, mildew and very stubborn stains.
