Frequently Asked Questions
Does this disinfectant really kill 99.99% of germs without using chlorine or bleach?
Yes. Seventh Generation Lemongrass Citrus Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner is EPA-registered to kill 99.99% of household germs and the COVID-19 virus using a thymol-based plant formula, with no chlorine bleach and no synthetic fragrance.
Is it safe to spray on the cutting board I prep my family's food on?
Yes. The no-rinse formula is validated for use on food contact surfaces, including cutting boards, counter tops, and refrigerator exteriors. You can wipe and walk away without a second rinse step.
Will the scent irritate my asthma or trigger headaches like other disinfectants do?
The scent comes from lemongrass, citrus, and thyme essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance, and the formula is chlorine-free. Most households with scent sensitivities find botanical disinfectants gentler, though individual reactions vary.
Can I use this around my cat or dog without worrying about toxic residue?
The plant-based CleanWell Inside formula is designed to be safe for use in pet zones like crates, litter areas, and feeding stations once surfaces dry. Keep pets away during application and let the surface dry before they return.
Does the bulk pack of 4 reduce plastic waste compared to buying single bottles?
Buying the 4-pack consolidates shipping and outer packaging, lowering the per-ounce packaging footprint versus four separate single-bottle purchases, while also lowering your cost per ounce.
Is this a good choice for a household with toddlers constantly touching doorknobs and light switches?
Yes. It is EPA-registered, kills common household germs on high-touch surfaces, and uses a thymol and essential oil formula rather than harsh chemicals, making it a strong fit for cold and flu season in a toddler household.
Will using this daily on my counters leave any harmful chemical buildup?
No. The formula is USDA Certified 100% Biobased, leaves no chlorine residue, and is designed for daily use. A quick wipe is all that is needed on most surfaces.
Is this safer than a bleach-based disinfectant for a family kitchen?
For everyday family kitchen use it is a lower-toxicity alternative, killing 99.99% of germs through thymol rather than sodium hypochlorite. It avoids bleach fumes, residue, and the risk of discoloring counters or clothes.
Can I use it on my child's wooden toys without worrying about chemicals leaching?
Yes. It is safe for use on hard children's toys, including painted wood and plastic, and the no-rinse formula means you do not introduce additional chemical residue through a second wipe-down.
How does it compare to Lysol or Clorox disinfecting sprays for safety?
It achieves comparable germ-kill claims while using a plant-derived thymol active instead of quaternary ammonium compounds or bleach, and it carries USDA Biobased certification. It trades harsh chemical smell for a botanical citrus scent.
Is it as effective as bleach at killing cold and flu viruses on doorknobs?
It is EPA-registered to kill Influenza A, H1N1, and Rhinovirus, the most common cold and flu pathogens transferred on doorknobs and light switches, so it delivers the disinfection power of a category-leading product without the bleach.
Will it damage my granite, marble, or finished hardwood surfaces like bleach can?
It is safe for finished hardwood, sealed counters, and most washable surfaces. As with any disinfectant, spot-test on unsealed or specialty stone before broad use, and avoid pooling on natural marble.
What if my pet walks across a surface before it fully dries?
The botanical formula is designed to be non-toxic once dry, but for the cleanest routine, keep pets off freshly sprayed surfaces until they are dry to the touch, typically a few minutes.
Does it leave any residue that could be unsafe if a child puts a toy in their mouth?
No. The no-rinse formula leaves no chemical residue requiring a second wipe, and it is validated for pacifiers and children's toys that frequently end up in small mouths.
Is the USDA Biobased certification real and what does it actually mean?
USDA Certified Biobased products are independently verified to contain a USDA-determined percentage of ingredients from renewable plant sources. This product is 100% Biobased, meaning its formula is built entirely from botanical and plant-derived ingredients.
What if I'm sensitive to essential oils, will the lemongrass and thyme still bother me?
If you react to citrus or herbal essential oils, you may notice the scent. The aroma is moderate and dissipates as it dries, but anyone with strong botanical sensitivities should patch-test in a small area first.
How do I use Seventh Generation Lemongrass Citrus Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner?
Spray the surface until thoroughly wet, let it sit for 10 minutes to allow disinfection, then wipe. For food contact surfaces like cutting boards and high chair trays, no rinsing is required once the contact time is complete.
Do I need to dilute this disinfectant before using it?
No. This is a ready-to-use formula. Spray it directly onto the surface or onto a clean cloth, then wipe. Do not mix with other household cleaners, especially bleach.
Where should I store the 4-pack bottles in my home?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. A utility closet, under-sink cabinet, or laundry room shelf works well. Keep bottles upright and capped when not in use.
Does this work on granite, quartz, and sealed stone counters?
Yes. It is safe for sealed granite, quartz, and other finished stone surfaces. Avoid pooling on unsealed natural stone, and spot-test specialty finishes before broad use.
Can I use it on finished hardwood floors and laminate?
Yes. Spray onto a soft cloth rather than directly onto the floor to control moisture, then wipe. Avoid saturating wood, and always follow with a dry cloth on hardwood to protect the finish.
What is included in the 4-pack box?
You receive four 26 oz capped bottles of Lemongrass Citrus Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner and two trigger spray heads. You will need to attach a spray head to the bottles you plan to use for disinfecting.
Is this product safe to use around people with asthma or chemical sensitivities?
It is chlorine-free and uses essential oil fragrance rather than synthetic perfume, which many people with sensitivities prefer. As with any cleaning product, ventilate the room during use and step away if irritation occurs.
Will it harm my septic system if I use it on bathroom floors?
No. Used as directed, the formula is compatible with household septic systems. Avoid pouring large quantities directly down drains and use normal cleaning amounts.
What is the difference between a disinfectant, a sanitizer, and a cleaner?
A cleaner removes dirt and some germs. A sanitizer reduces germs to a level considered safe by public health standards. A disinfectant kills nearly all germs on a surface, and this product is EPA-registered as a disinfectant that kills 99.99% of germs.
