A cleaner is a chemical used to clean and maintain a variety of surfaces and equipment. Their main role is to remove dirt, grease, dust, and other impurities and restore the surface to its original appearance and function.

Customs clearance: Once all the formalities are completed, your cleaner can enter the target country.

Cleaners can be classified according to their composition and use.
Solvent cleaners: These cleaners mainly use organic solvents such as ketones, alcohols, esters, and ethers. They are characterized by their strong detergency but may damage the surface, so they need to be used with caution.
Abrasive cleaners: These cleaners typically contain abrasive particles such as diatomaceous earth, alumina or zirconium. Their role is to remove dirt through physical friction and are suitable for stubborn stains and hard-to-clean surfaces.
Acidic cleaners: These cleaners mainly use acidic compounds such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and citric acid. Their role is to dissolve dirt and grease, but care needs to be taken to prevent overcorrosion and fire.
Alkaline cleaners: These cleaners mainly use alkaline compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia. Their role is to break down grease and dirt and are suitable for cleaning metallic and non-metallic surfaces.
Water-based cleaners: These cleaners use water as a solvent and often contain additives such as surfactants, acids, or bases. They are characterized by being environmentally friendly, inexpensive and have little damage to the surface, making them suitable for all types of cleaning.
