        abstract = {Cleaning agents are essential for removing dirt, stain, germs, and grease. It helps maintain hygienic environments, prevent the spread of disease, and keep living spaces neat and clean. The cleaning agent interacts with the contaminant to loosen and remove it. Cleaning agents, such as acidic cleaners, alkaline cleaners, detergents, solvents, and disinfectants are categorized in different classes based on their chemical properties and functions. Cleaning agents are prepared using both synthetic and naturally available resources. Synthetic cleaning agents are non-biodegradable. Therefore, adverse effects on the environment are observed during the disposal of synthetic cleaning agents, especially in aquatic environment. Currently, these synthetic cleaning agents are replaced by green cleaning agents manufactured using natural ingredients. Green cleaning agents are biodegradable and nontoxic. Green chemicals improve indoor air quality, minimize pollution of water bodies and soil and reduce the risk of skin irritation.},
