Cleaning Performance
9.5 — Strong Cleaning Strength

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.

Ingredient disclosure or exposure factors trail the leaders in this category.

What we love

No quaternary disinfectant.
Use with care

    Why this score: ingredient transparency

    Transparency is scored on its own, before anything else. It measures how much of this formula the maker actually publishes — not how good the formula is.

    3.7/ 10
    Published by the manufacturer

    Limited disclosure. Only a fragment of this formula is verifiable, so every rating below is deliberately cautious.
