Household and cleaning product formulation is the development of cleaners, detergents, soaps, and surface-care products by balancing surfactants, solvents, builders, fragrances, and preservatives. Formulators tune the surfactant system, pH, foam, and dilution so the product cleans effectively while staying stable and safe to handle. Finished formulas must also meet the labeling and safety rules of the markets where they are sold.
