Why it scored this way

Led down by Fragrance (Parfum)
-3.6

Fragrance (Parfum) (Undisclosed fragrance mixture) carries the heaviest documented hazard profile in this formula and sets the ceiling for the ingredient score.

4 ingredients not yet in the Clean Wise reference library
-6.0

Clean Wise scores conservatively where a printed ingredient has no reference record yet. This is a Clean Wise research gap, not a manufacturer failing.

Scored as: Fabric refresher spray
-13.0

Sprayed onto soft surfaces a dog lies on, with no rinse, and creates airborne droplets at nose height during use.

Full dry time before contact
+1.0

The directions include a drying period before contact resumes, which is the single most effective control on residue exposure.

Partial ingredient disclosure
-9.0

Transparency measures how much of the formula the maker publishes, not how good the formula is. A fully disclosed poor formula still earns full transparency points.

No SDS or technical document on file
0.0

Clean Wise has not located a current safety data sheet or technical sheet for this exact product.

Primary manufacturer source
+2.0

Product data was captured from the manufacturer's own product page rather than a reseller listing.

Certification: not certified
0.0

No relevant independent product certification is on file.

Health evidence notices

Fragrance (Parfum)

Health Canada Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist and fragrance-allergen labelling requirements classifies Fragrance (Parfum) as Fragrance mixtures may contain restricted allergens that are not individually declared. This identifies a hazard and does not by itself establish the risk from this finished product. Risk depends on concentration, route, frequency, dilution, rinsing, residue and use.

Reduced the formula score by 5.2 of 50 points, weighted by its position in the published ingredient list.
