Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers (limonene, citrus extracts), Skin and eye irritation from surfactants and citric acid and Microbial growth in aqueous concentrate formulation 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 aqueous surfactant concentrate, citric acid, plant-based cleaner 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 →
