Our products are designed for people who are mindful of the ingredients they bring into their homes, including those who have experienced sensitivities to conventional cleaners.

If disinfection is needed, we recommend using a product specifically labeled for that purpose and following its directions carefully.

Our products are designed to be compatible with typical household plumbing systems, including sewer and septic systems when used as directed.
