If we wouldn’t want it for our family, we wouldn’t ask you to use it near yours. We don’t put these ingredients in our products:
A spray that contains special Pledge® conditioners and natural orange oil to clean and revitalize wood surfaces.
Enables the delivery of the product to a surface.
White mineral oil is a clear liquid carrier that can also be found in a wide variety of cosmetics, personal care and household products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. Without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface. White Mineral Oil can also be used as a cleaning agent that removes dust, dirt and soils, or as a stabilizer that helps maintain a product formula when exposed to air, light or heat.
Creates a protective coating or shine on a surface.
Dimethicone is a silicone film former that can also be found in skin lotions, bath soaps and shampoos. It creates a protective coating or shine on a surface. Sometimes referred to as “silicone oil,” dimethicone is the most widely used silicone polymer and is particularly known for its ability to smoothly coat a surface and leave it protected, without being sticky.
Break down dirt and deposits.
D Limonene is a cleaning agent that is one of the most widely used citrus-based fragrance ingredients. It can be found naturally through extracting oil from citrus peels, and is also produced synthetically. It can be used in place of harsher cleaning agents such as acetone, toluene or glycol ethers. The U.S. EPA has said that D Limonene is safe for use in consumer products. In the European Union, it is one of 26 ingredients that have been designated as a potential allergen for skin. However since we use it at very small concentrations -- in fact, below the level required to be reported in the European Union -- and since our products are not designed to be left on the skin, we feel it is acceptable for use.
Polyglyceryl Oleate is a cleaning agent that can also be found in a variety of personal care products such as moisturizers and concealers. It removes dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Provides a pleasing colour for a product.
Eco/REACH Golden Yellow Liquid Dye #D20052 is a colorant. Dyes are added to products for a variety of reasons including helping you see where you applied the product, when a product is used up, or for aesthetic reasons.
Makes a product taste bitter to help prevent accidental ingestion.
Bitrex® is the trademarked name of Denatonium Benzoate Alcohol, and is added to a wide range of products including cleaners, cosmetics and automotive products, as well as repelling compounds such as anti-nail-biting polish and deer repellent for the garden. It is a bittering agent that makes a product taste bad to discourage people from accidentally eating things that contain it. Bitrex® is a trademark of the Johnson Matthey Group of companies.
