Everything is a chemical! Perhaps you are thinking of simple substances with chemical sounding names? Baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) is used for cleaning and as a cooking ingredient. Salt (sodium chloride) is used to season food. Acetic or ethanoic acid (vinegar) is a condiment. Sugar (sucrose) is used for sweetening. Soap (e.g. sodium palmitate) and detergent (e.g. sodium lauryl sulphate) are used for cleaning. The list is endless.
