Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

Before cleaning: Vacuum carpet thoroughly with a new, empty bag for best results. Spray on a small and inconspicuous area to test for colorfastness, observe when dry. Do Not Use if color is affected. For upholstery, check the manufacturer's recommendations before use. Not suggested to use on velvet, silk,vinyl or leather. To clean large carpet areas: Shake well. Spray foam evenly over a 3-foot square area and keep can about 2 feet above carpet. Use a damp and colorfast mop to spread the foam into carpet. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the carpet is cleaned. Vacuum thoroughly once dry to remove dried foam and loosened dirt. Self cleaning: Shake well before and while using. Spray a thin layer evenly side-to-side about 2 feet above carpet. Let the foam dry out and loosen dirt for 15 minutes. Drying time may differ with humidity and thickness of carpet. Vacuum thoroughly once dry to remove dried foam and loosened dirt. To clean upholstery: Blot wet messes with a clean, absorbent cloth. Shake well and spray directly onto stain from a distance of 4-6 inches. Let the foam absorb into stain for 3 minutes. Blot the area very gently with a clean, damp, colorfast sponge or cloth. Rub gently if necessary. Do not over apply cleaner. To avoid cleaned rings, clean entire section where the dirt is present. Clean out sponge or cloth and repeat if needed. Let fabric dry completely before use.

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.
