Cleaning products are among the most chemically complex household items. Many contain synthetic fragrances (which can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals), surfactants, preservatives, and plastic packaging that leaches into the product. Inhalation during use adds a respiratory exposure route.
Why We Recommend This Product
Mrs. Meyer's is marketed as natural but contains synthetic fragrances. The plant-derived surfactants are a genuine improvement, but the fragrance undermines the safety profile. Choose fragrance-free options or switch to Branch Basics.
