Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) irritancy to skin and mucous membranes, Fragrance allergens (Crisp Lemon variant), Surfactant skin and eye irritation and PFAS in wipe fabric or formulation on the Clorox and not on the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes.
  • We flag Quaternary ammonium irritation (skin/eye) and Microplastic shedding from nonwoven degradation on the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes and not on the Clorox.
  • The Clorox is nonwoven fabric blend, no specified coating where the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes is nonwoven fabric (polypropylene/polyester blend), quaternary ammonium disinfectant, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • We are less certain about the Clorox grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.

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 →
