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
Seventh Generation's Free & Clear line is one of the better mainstream cleaning options. Plant-based surfactants and no synthetic fragrances are meaningful improvements. The plastic packaging is a compromise.
