Tetrapotassium EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is used to remove soap film and hard water scale in a wide range of cleaning products, including hard surface cleaners, liquid soaps, laundry detergents, antimicrobial cleaners, and commercial products.

Cocamidopropylamine oxide (C12-14 alkylamidopropylamine oxide) is a cleaning agent often used along with additional surfactants in laundry and other cleaning products. It is used as a primary surfactant for cleaning, helps thicken the product, and makes foam longer-lasting.

Dimethicone/silica/PEG distearates are used mainly as defoamers, although they are also emollients, lubricants and thickeners in cleaning products. They can be used to give formulas a smooth coating, while enabling evaporation without leaving a greasy residue.

They are used in cleaning products to add a particular scent (lavender, lemon, etc.) to clothes and homes, and to mask unpleasant odors.
