Warnings & Directions
Directions for Use:
LOAD DISHWASHER - Make sure items can be safely washed in a dishwasher. Silver, Aluminum and stainless steel should be washed in separate loads to avoid discoloration. Load items with soiled surfaces facing the center and keep taller items away from the center of the bottom rack. Washing full loads conserves water. ADD DETERGENT - Fill dispenser cup 1/2 - 2/3 full. Use less detergent for soft water/smaller loads. For very hard water we recommend using our Rinse Aid.

Surprised by a score?
Date posted: 2013-03-27
When EWG released the Guide to Healthy Cleaning in 2012, some of our scores and findings surprised not only our viewers but us, too. Who knew Lysol made a product EWG can recommend, while many cleaning products marketed as “natural” or “green” don’t pass? We were also shocked to find out how common it is in the cleaning product industry to hide ingredient information from consumers.

Green Certifications
Design for the Environment
Design for the Environment is a voluntary program overseen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that works with manufacturers to make products that are safer for people and the environment. Companies may carry the Design for the Environment Seal if they formulate products with ingredients that meet standards developed through the program. Acceptable ingredients receive a green circle (low concern based on experimental and modeled data), a green half-circle (low concern based on experimental and modeled data, but with some data gaps), or a yellow triangle (some hazard concern).

Whole Foods Market Eco-Scale Rated
The Eco-Scale™ rating system created by Whole Foods Market rates products as red, orange, yellow or green based on label disclosure and chemical composition. All products sold at Whole Foods must fully disclose ingredients on the label. An orange, yellow or green rating is assigned based on chemical composition and level of protection of consumers and the environment.

Animal Testing
Leaping Bunny
Products bearing the Leaping Bunny mark are certified cruelty-free under the Humane Household Products Standard, managed in the U.S. and Canada by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, a coalition of eight national animal protection groups. Participating companies must open their processes to independent audits throughout the supply chain.

PETA Cruelty-free Companies
Companies that join the “Caring Consumer” program of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a leading international animal rights advocacy organization, attest that “neither they nor their ingredient suppliers conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations or finished products, and that they pledge not to do so in the future.”
