Why it scored this way

Led down by Sodium Carbonate
-0.5

Sodium Carbonate (Alkaline builder) carries the heaviest documented hazard profile in this formula and sets the ceiling for the ingredient score.

2 ingredients not yet in the CLEANWISE_V2 hazard library
-3.0

Clean Wise scores conservatively where a printed ingredient has no CLEANWISE_V2 hazard reference record yet. This is a Clean Wise research gap, not a manufacturer failing.

Scored as: Laundry detergent
-5.0

Dosed into a wash, rinsed out of the fabric and dried before a dog lies on it. The realistic exposure is a low residue on bedding, not contact with the concentrate.

Diluted in the wash
+1.5

The label directs dilution in the wash, which lowers the concentration that reaches paws, coat and mouth.

Rinsed before contact resumes
+1.5

A normal laundry cycle rinses the formula away before the dog contacts the washed item.

Concentrated powder is an ingestion hazard
-1.0

Concentrated laundry products can be swallowed if a dog reaches the package. Storage matters as much as the in-use formula.

Exact, complete manufacturer ingredient list
0.0

Transparency measures how much of the formula the maker publishes, not how good the formula is. Nellie's publishes the complete ingredient list.

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.

Use around dogs

Dose according to the label for your load size and water hardness — over-dosing is what leaves residue on bedding.
Store the container closed and out of reach; undiluted detergent is the real ingestion hazard.
Run an extra rinse on dog bedding if your dog has sensitive skin.
