If a product doesn't have the label it could just mean it hasn't been submitted for evaluation by the program. An all-purpose cleaner is designed to remove dirt, grime, and grease from surfaces but may not kill the germs that cause illness and disease. Look on the label, but in most cases you'll need an antimicrobial product such as a disinfectant or sanitizer to kill germs. Antimicrobial products are required to be registered and their labels will display an EPA registration number. If your all-purpose cleaner claims to kill germs, it should state on the label how long it must stay on a surface to be effective, the specific surfaces where the product may be used and it must be registered. Pesticide products do not use the Safer Choice label, but they may include the Design for the Environment logo if they meet the standards. Note: The standard for DfE is the same as for Safer Choice - except that the DfE/pesticide products must also undergo review under FIFRA (the pesticide law).

I am a writer working on a cleaning story for HGTV magazine--hoping you can confirm the following text boxes give to me by one of the sources being quoted in the story. Please feel free to make any changes and note my one question to you. I'm hoping to turn this around tomorrow. I appreciate your help! Best, Colleen Both of these quotes revolve around all-purpose cleaners: Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00023023-00002 If you see an EPA Safer Choice symbol on your all-purpose cleaner, it means the ingredients are safer alternatives to traditional ingredients. However, the EPA's Safer Choice limits their seal to products that are literally "the safest" or "least risky", which doesn't mean the ones that didn't make the cut aren't low risk and not safe, they just weren't the safest or they just weren't submitted for testing (companies need to submit products to the EPA to earn the seal). An all-purpose cleaner will remove dirt, grime, and grease from surfaces but may not kill the germs that cause illness and disease. Look on the label, but in most cases you'll need a disinfectant to do that. If your all-purpose cleaner claims to kill germs, it should state on the label how long it must stay on a surface to be effective, and should have an EPA symbol meaning the product does what it says it does on the label. [Mary: Is this the same Safer Choice symbol or a different one?] Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00023023-00003
