Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from d-limonene, Fragrance allergen potential (d-limonene, orange derived), Eye and skin irritation from undiluted concentrate and Aquatic toxicity of plant surfactants and d-limonene on the ECOS PRO and not on the Force of Nature.
  • We flag Oxidizer / skin and eye irritation, Bacterial contamination in product storage and Chlorine gas formation if mixed with incompatible cleaners on the Force of Nature and not on the ECOS PRO.
  • The ECOS PRO is aqueous cleaning concentrate, plant-derived surfactants where the Force of Nature is Hypochlorous acid electrochemical solution, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

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 →
