What Fabuloso 2X Multi-Purpose Fruits Scent is made of, ingredients and materials
Fabuloso 2X is a liquid concentrate containing water, surfactants, baking soda, and fragrance compounds (citrus and fruit scents). The baking soda acts as a mild abrasive and deodorizer, allowing formulation at lower surfactant loads. As an aqueous product, it carries no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions typical of solvent-based cleaners, and baking soda is inert and widely regarded as a low-toxicity active ingredient.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Surfactant irritancy (skin/eyes/mucous membranes)
Undiluted liquid cleaners commonly cause irritation; this product is a concentrate requiring dilution per label. Risk is manageable with proper dilution and standard precautions (gloves, ventilation).
Fragrance allergen content
Citrus and fruit scents are typically terpenes and synthetic aromatic compounds; fragrance allergens are not uncommon in consumer cleaners. Individuals with fragrance sensitivities may experience respiratory or skin reactions; no specific allergen disclosure on record for this formulation.
Residue on food-contact surfaces
Surfactants and fragrance compounds can leave residue if not thoroughly rinsed. On dishes, countertops, or cutting boards, incomplete rinsing may leave ingestion risk; thorough rinsing mitigates this.
Aquatic toxicity (environmental)
Surfactants in multipurpose cleaners are known aquatic pollutants when disposed down drains. Baking soda itself is inert, but surfactant biodegradability and formulation details are not disclosed on product packaging; standard disposal precautions apply.
Accidental ingestion (child/pet risk)
As a concentrate, ingestion poses higher toxicity risk than diluted forms. Standard labeling and container safety should be followed; no specific pediatric or pet incident record on file for this SKU.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Fabuloso (owned by Colgate-Palmolive) does not publicly disclose detailed ingredient safety certifications or PFAS policy on this product line. The brand has no established safety recalls or controversy specific to this multipurpose cleaner formulation. Standard safety data sheet (SDS) information is available, but third-party testing or independent certifications (e.g., EPA Safer Choice, Green Seal) are not on record for this SKU.
How it compares in its category
Multipurpose liquid cleaners like Fabuloso typically carry lower chemical hazard profiles than solvent-based or ammonia-containing alternatives. This formulation's addition of baking soda is common in the mass-market cleaner category and positions it as a gentler option. Competitors offering comparable ingredients (e.g., baking soda-boosted formulas) are similarly positioned; major differentiators are fragrance choice and surfactant type rather than hazard class.
If you buy it
Use as directed on the label; dilute concentrate according to instructions to avoid skin irritation from undiluted surfactants. Store in original labeled container away from heat and sunlight to preserve surfactant stability. Keep out of reach of children and pets, as with all cleaning products. Rinse surfaces thoroughly after application, especially food-contact areas, to remove residue.
