Directions from Packaging

Spray our ammonia-free cleaner onto glass, mirrors & other smooth surfaces. Simply wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. HOUSEHOLD HINT: Wash windows on a cloudy day. The heat from the sun can cause wet windows to dry too quickly which can result in nasty streaking or water spots. Before you dampen window panes, whisk frames with a soft bristled brush to rid them of cobwebs and loose dirt. If you're lucky and own a nice squeegee, use it, but be sure to dampen it with Glass Cleaner beforehand - a dry blade will skip.


Warnings

Avoid eye contact. Keep out of reach children and pets. If product gets in eyes, rinse with water.

This product is a certified green cleaner.

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.

PETA Cruelty-free Companies

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
