Why It Scored 4.5
Our independent, evidence-based evaluation of this product across every Clean Wise exposure category, scored for how the product is actually used. Sponsorship is never an input. Cleaning performance is shown separately below and does not affect this score.
- Ingestion, skin sensitivity, developmental and licking-risk factors for puppies.
- Overall household exposure and ingestion factors for adult dogs.
- Floor-contact residue, irritation and drying-time considerations.
- Fragrance load, aerosols and airborne irritation.
- How exposure lands on toys, bowls, floors and surfaces dogs mouth on. Higher = lower risk.
- Biodegradability, aquatic considerations and packaging.
- Whether the manufacturer publishes the full ingredient list. Undisclosed formulas score 0 and receive a Red Paw Alert.
- Scored 0. We could not find a published ingredient list from the manufacturer or an authorised retailer for this product.
Cleaning strength cannot be measured reliably from an ingredient list, so it is kept as separate information and is excluded from the Clean Wise safety score.
