Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Acute toxicity from ingestion or eye contact and Microbial growth or contamination during storage on the Biokleen and not on the Dirty Labs.
  • We flag Enzyme sensitization (protease/amylase) and Residual surfactant skin irritation on the Dirty Labs and not on the Biokleen.
  • The Biokleen is Enzymatic formula with plant extracts, no surface coating where the Dirty Labs is Plant-based surfactants, enzymes, water, which is most of the difference in these two grades.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
