Most label data is on file; a few fields are still outstanding.
Why It Scored 6.6
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.
- Material composition is published by the manufacturer for this single-material 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.
Clean Wise Verdict
A workable everyday option when the directions are followed closely.
Where to Buy
Canadian retailers on record. Stock and price vary by store and province.
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.
Clean Wise scores an undisclosed formula as 0 out of 10, not as unknown. If we cannot see what is in it, we cannot tell you how it behaves around your dog.
