Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), the first chlorinated dissolvable utilized for cleaning, was presented in light of the significant expense of petrol solvents and was generally utilized until the 1950s.

  • The cleaning industry uses carbon tetrachloride as a cleaning agent (nonpolar solvent) because polar solvents bond with clothes, but non-polar solvents bond with sticky substances, so they help remove dirt.
  • In Carbon tetrachloride, every chlorine particle has two electrons non-reinforced which makes the net dipole charge zero, these will make it non-polar.
  • Presently, in light of its high poisonousness and propensity to erode hardware, carbon tetrachloride is not generally utilized as a dry-cleaning dissolvable.
