Ever flipped a bottle and saw "fragrance" with zero explanation? That's not transparency. That's marketing.
You're standing in the cleaning aisle, trying to make the "healthier" choice for your family. You pick up that bottle with the pretty green label promising "natural" and "plant-based" goodness. But when you flip it over, here's what you see:"Fragrance"That's it. One word covering potentially dozens of undisclosed chemicals.The Dirty Truth About "Clean" Household Cleaner Labels
Here's what the non-toxic cleaning industry doesn't want you to know: that single word "fragrance" can legally hide up to 3,000 different chemical compounds in household cleaners. No disclosure required. No explanation needed. Just trust us, they say.But here's the thing – you shouldn't have to trust blindly when it comes to what you're spraying around your kids, your pets, and yourself.The problem isn't just fragrance ingredients in cleaners. It's the entire culture of ingredient secrecy that's taken over the "plant-based cleaning" market. Companies slap buzzwords like "non-toxic household cleaners" and "eco-friendly surface cleaners" on their labels while keeping you completely in the dark about what's actually inside.This isn't transparency. This is marketing theater.
Why Ingredient Transparency Matters in Non-Toxic Cleaners
The household cleaning industry has gotten comfortable with vague labeling because, frankly, they can get away with it. Unlike food or cosmetics, surface cleaners face minimal ingredient disclosure requirements. Companies can hide behind "proprietary formulas" and "trade secrets" while you're left guessing whether that "natural cleaning product" is actually safe for your family.
Even worse? Some brands that market themselves as "clean household products" are just as guilty of ingredient hiding as conventional cleaners. They've learned that slapping "plant-based" on a label sells products, regardless of what's actually inside.
