What ECOS PRO Orange Plus All Purpose Cleaner is made of, ingredients and materials
ECOS PRO Orange Plus is an aqueous concentrate formulated with plant-derived surfactants (primary active ingredients) and orange-derived d-limonene as the solvent and fragrance component. Surfactants enable the product to dissolve and suspend oils and soils in water. D-limonene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and allergen in some individuals, but is plant-derived and does not persist in the final diluted spray product at problematic levels for most users.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from d-limonene
D-limonene is the fragrant solvent in this concentrate and is a VOC; when diluted and sprayed, exposure is typically brief and non-occupational. Individuals with respiratory sensitivity or citrus allergy may experience eye or airway irritation; ventilation mitigates this risk.
Fragrance allergen potential (d-limonene, orange derived)
D-limonene and related terpenes in orange extract are established contact allergens and respiratory sensitizers in susceptible individuals. The proportion in the final sprayed product is low, but persons with known citrus or fragrance sensitivity should test on a small area first.
Eye and skin irritation from undiluted concentrate
Like most cleaning concentrates, undiluted ECOS PRO can irritate eyes and skin because surfactants disrupt skin barrier oils. Product instructions require dilution before use; this hazard is manageable with label adherence and basic precautions (gloves, ventilation).
Aquatic toxicity of plant surfactants and d-limonene
Plant-derived surfactants and d-limonene are biodegradable but still have measurable aquatic toxicity at concentration; proper disposal (drain to water system, not direct water dumping) is standard practice for all cleaners and minimizes ecological concern.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Third-party PFAS-free verification
A third party reports verifying this product as PFAS-free.
Heavy metals
No pigments, colorants, or known additive sources of lead or cadmium are present in the formulation or manufacturing context of this product; not applicable to clear or lightly colored aqueous cleaners of this type.

The brand's record and disclosure
ECOS PRO is manufactured by Earth Friendly Products, a long-standing B-Corp certified company with third-party verification for PFAS absence (MADE SAFE certified). The brand maintains transparent ingredient disclosure and has no established history of undisclosed harmful chemicals or misrepresentation in product formulations. No recalls or regulatory warnings specific to this product line are on public record.
How it compares in its category
Plant-derived surfactant cleaners like ECOS PRO sit at the lower hazard end of the all-purpose cleaner spectrum. Conventional cleaners often contain synthetic surfactants, phenolic compounds, or ammonia, which carry higher aquatic toxicity and inhalation risk. ECOS PRO's plant base and absence of PFAS align it with the emerging 'safer chemistry' segment rather than legacy industrial formulations.
If you buy it
Dilute concentrate as directed on label before spraying to reduce volatile organic compound exposure during use. Ensure good ventilation when spraying, particularly if you are sensitive to citrus allergens or d-limonene. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of plant-derived components. The concentrate shelf life is typically 1-2 years; discard if separation or odor changes occur.
