If we wouldn’t want it for our family, we wouldn’t ask you to use it near yours. We don’t formulate our products with these ingredients:
From the makers of Shout®, a natural stain remover that combines simple, biodegradable ingredients into an effective and natural fabric-care solution.
Water that has had minerals and other impurities removed.
Naturally derived cleaning agents that come from coconut or palm kernel oils.
Lauryl Glucoside is a cleaning agent that can also be found in many personal care products including body washes, facial cleansers and bubble bath. 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.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a cleaning agent that can also be found in personal care products such as toothpaste and shaving cream, as well as in aspirin, heart medications and other prescription medicines. 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. Over the years, SLS has received some bad press due to emails that began circulating in the late 90s regarding alleged cancer concerns. In fact, three different authorities – OSHA, the National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer – have all rated SLS as being non-carcinogenic.
Enhance cleaning ability.
Citric acid is a builder that can also be found in a wide array of household products including laundry detergents, shampoos and cleaners. Of course, citric acid is also found in citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and limes. It makes a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Citric Acid can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective as a carpet cleaner. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can. Citric Acid can also be used as a cleaning agent that removes dirt.
Also known as Borax, Sodium Borate is a builder that has been used for decades in a wide variety of household products, such as creams, lotions, bath and skin products, among other things. It makes a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Sodium Borate can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability over time. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can.
Adjusts the pH of a product to improve stability.
Sodium Hydroxide is a builder that can also be found in detergents and degreasers. It makes a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Sodium Hydroxide can also be a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can. In high concentrations (such as in drain cleaners), Sodium Hydroxide can also be used as a caustic that helps dissolve organic matter like drain clogs.
Breaks down stains and clogs.
Subtilisin is an enzyme that breaks down stains. It can also be found in various household products such as laundry detergents and contact lens cleaners. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze or increase the speed and efficiency of chemical reactions.
