What Kiwi says and does about PFAS
We found no PFAS statement from Kiwi or its maker S.C. Johnson in the pages we could load. Kiwi safety data sheets list hydrocarbon solvents and propellants, and state that some exact composition details are withheld as a trade secret. We found no independent lab test, lawsuit or state disclosure naming Kiwi and PFAS.

- MaterialsThe same safety data sheet says some composition details are withheld as a trade secret, so it does not settle whether PFAS is present. S.C. Johnson safety data sheet via Rothco ↗
Sources checked September 29, 2026. A brand statement is the company’s own claim, which we report but have not verified. Our grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests.
