Benzalkonium Chloride (Quaternary ammonium disinfectant) carries the heaviest documented hazard profile in this formula and sets the ceiling for the ingredient score.
Clean Wise scores conservatively where a printed ingredient has no reference record yet. This is a Clean Wise research gap, not a manufacturer failing.
Disinfectants must stay wet on the surface for a stated contact time. That wet window is exactly when a dog is most likely to walk through or lick it.
This product disperses into shared air and the formula contains an ingredient with a documented airway or respiratory-sensitisation classification. A dog's nose sits far closer to floor and plug-in level than a person's.
There is no rinse step in normal use, so the heaviest-hazard ingredient stays on a surface the dog contacts with paws or mouth.
The undiluted product is corrosive, so access to the bottle, not the in-use dilution, is the serious exposure scenario.
Pods, sheets, wipes and concentrate bottles are swallowed by dogs. Storage matters as much as the formula.
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.
Clean Wise has not located a current safety data sheet or technical sheet for this exact product.
Product data was captured from the manufacturer's own product page rather than a reseller listing.
No relevant independent product certification is on file.
ECHA harmonised classification (CLP Annex VI) classifies Benzalkonium Chloride as Acute Tox. 3 (oral) / Skin Corr. 1B / Eye Dam. 1 / Aquatic Acute 1. 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 33.9 of 50 points, weighted by its position in the published ingredient list.
View sourceUS Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Register classifies Octyl Decyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride as Aliphatic alkyl quaternaries: corrosive, highly irritating to eyes and skin, with moderate acute toxicity. 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 19.4 of 50 points, weighted by its position in the published ingredient list.
