Scores 8.0 to 8.9. A well-documented product that performs well across the categories we measure.
Most label data is on file; a few fields are still outstanding.
Why It Scored 8.5
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.
- Transparency is scored 1 out of 10: this manufacturer does not publish a verifiable ingredient list for this product, so every other rating is format and category based.
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 strong performer across the Clean Wise exposure categories.
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.
Solid disclosure. The published list is complete enough for the ratings below to be evidence-based.

- Water — The carrier for most liquid cleaners. No exposure risk on its own.
- Enzymes — Protein catalysts that digest organic stains and odours. Very low toxicity.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine — A coconut-derived foam booster. Mild, though a known contact allergen for some animals.
- Fragrance — An undisclosed blend that can contain dozens of compounds. A common trigger for respiratory irritation in dogs.
- Phenoxyethanol — A common preservative, low risk at label levels.
