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:
A foaming aerosol cleaner featuring a wide spray that is designed for the shower.
Removes soap scum and soils.
Disodium Ethanoldiglycinate is a chelator that can also be found in a variety of household products including cleaning, water treatment and personal care products. It removes soap scum and mineral deposits that are caused by hard water. The word chelator (pronounced "key-lay-tor") comes from the Greek word chele, or claw. Think of a chelator as a tiny claw that reaches out and grabs the minerals in soap scum or soils, to keep them from depositing on a surface. By binding to the soap scum or deposit, Disodium Ethanoldiglycinate allows them to be rinsed away. It is good for grabbing onto iron and calcium (hard water stains).
Helps create the spray of a product.
Isobutane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as Butane and Propane. While Isobutane is commonly known for its use as a fuel, for example for camp stoves, in use as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated. Isobutane is one of the hydrocarbon propellants we used to replace the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that were previously used in aerosol products and which were ultimately shown to be damaging to the ozone layer. SC Johnson eliminated the uses of CFCs back in 1975, three years before the government required companies to do so.
Break down dirt and deposits.
Butoxydiglycol is a cleaning agent that can also be found in household cleaners and degreasers. It’s particularly good at removing soap scum and works by dissolving the residue that remains on bathroom surfaces such as oils and soaps.
Ethoxylated Alcohol is a cleaning agent that can also be found in a variety of products including toothpaste and shampoos. 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. Ethoxylation is the process of treating a fatty acid alcohol to give it detergent properties.
Creates a protective coating or shine on a surface.
Polystyrene Polymer is a film former that works in combination with rinsing water to keep surfaces cleaner longer. It is especially good at helping prevent soap scum from adhering to shower and sink surfaces. It works by first attaching to the surface, and then helping to prevent soils from attaching so that they can be washed away by water.
Adjusts the pH of a product to improve stability.
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.
