Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?

Conventional cleaning products contain synthetic chemicals including quaternary ammonium compounds, synthetic fragrances (phthalates), chlorine bleach, and 2-butoxyethanol. These are absorbed through skin, inhaled as aerosols, and ingested as residues on cleaned surfaces.
Why We Rated It This Way
Method's all-purpose cleaner is a meaningful improvement over conventional cleaners — no bleach, no ammonia. However, it contains synthetic fragrance (hiding phthalates). The fragrance-free version is the better choice.
