What's So Great about "Orange" or Citrus Cleaning Products?

By: Jean Hanson

Citrus cleaners are popular for a number of reasons. Since they're extracted from natural resources, they're environmentally friendly. They're also a great replacement for cleaning solvents, which aren't biodegradable. Plus, citrus cleaners have a pleasing scent!

The main ingredient is d-Limonene, which is the chemical name for citrus oil. When combined with a surfactant, a water dilutable solution can be made. The type of surfactant determines what can be cleaned with the product.

You can clean just about anything with citrus cleaners - degrease your stove or grill, remove stains, clean your floors, kitchen, bathroom, and wash your car. You can even remove gum and sticky adhesives with citrus products.
