Absolutely. Eco Orange contains no toxins, no solvents, no bleach, no acids, no ammonia and no unnatural chemicals. It does not “off-gas” or leave a dangerous odor in the air, nor does it leave any harmful residues and films. Eco Orange is a proprietary formula containing orange oil, plant-derived extracts and surfactants, which is a fancy word for soap.

Eco Orange is safe for pets and on surfaces with which your pets may come in contact. If Eco Orange comes in contact with your pets’ fur or skin, as a precaution you should gently wipe or rinse it off with water.

First, a primer on the difference between a disinfectant and sanitizer. The terms are used interchangeably and cause confusion.

• Disinfectant: Kills, destroys and inactivates germs dwelling on inanimate surfaces such as floors, countertops, etc.
• Sanitizer: Reduces or lessens germs on inanimate surfaces to levels considered food safe by public health codes.

Eco Orange contains orange oil (d-Limonene) and citrus extracts, the acids of which act as a NATURAL sanitizer without the harsh smells or toxic chemicals. Use it all day long to sanitize at a 15:1 ratio.

Eco Orange as a true disinfectant? We can’t make that claim because our formula does not contain bleach, phenols, ammonium compounds, or even hydrogen peroxide – all EPA-registered disinfectants with bleach or phenols being the gold standard.

If you want to make Eco a natural disinfectant, boil some water, pour into a spray bottle (be careful), add Eco Orange concentrate at 15:1. Spray and wipe. Take precautions to prevent scalding yourself when cleaning with this method.

If you absolutely need a one-time, true, medical-grade disinfectant solution for that rare occasion you’re countertop has been exposed to blood-borne pathogens, here’s how to turn Eco Orange into one.

Let’s say someone cuts their fingers chopping onions and it’s a gusher. You will want to add a capful of bleach to a 15:1 Eco dilution in a 26 oz. spray bottle. Spray the area, allow it to “dwell” for 5 minutes (according to the CDC), and wipe it down. It is absolutely safe to add bleach to Eco. No adverse chemical reaction will occur. Make sure to ventilate the area you plan to clean.

Maybe you bought a bottle years ago and it’s been hidden away in the garage. Well, guess what. It’s still good!

Because there are no harsh, dangerous chemicals in Eco Orange, the formula doesn’t degrade or become dangerous. The only thing we’ve observed with bottle of Eco Orange that are 10+ years old is that the orange color has faded.

Bottom line: Use it. There is no shelf life.

It means that the solution will breakdown in the environment and convert to elements typically found in nature.

Start with 10:1 — go big at 5:1 if it’s super stubborn. Use it with an abrasive of some sort; one that is not colored so as not rub off on the umbrella. When you get stain and mildew on canvas that’s cooked in the sun for a long time, it can be a beast to remove. The struggle is real!

Happy Cleaning!

Yes it is, as long as the natural stone, such as marble, has been properly sealed.

Yes, Eco Orange can be used to remove most spores, molds and fungi. We recommend a 20:1 ratio but can be increased as needed.

Here’s the thing about artillery fungus, it will permanently stain, so even though Eco Orange kills the germs, spores and mold, it may not take away the stain depending on how aggravating the fungus is. Even straight bleach will fail at times to remove the stain if it’s bad. Your only choice after disinfecting the fungus, in such cases where the fungus leaves a stain, is to repaint.

Eco Orange is absolutely safe in carpet cleaning machines. Just make sure to dilute with water AND clean/rinse out the reservoir(s) when you’re done with the job. Never let any cleaning product whether it’s Eco Orange or not sit in those machines for long periods between usage. 

Yes it does. Mix a 5:1 (5 parts water, 1 part Eco) solution. Spray it on the dirty surface. Soak it real good. Turn the oven on low 200-250 degrees F, and let it bake in for a bit, but not evaporate. If you have years of grime, we recommend using some sort of scrubbie or Magic Erase sponge and rub in a circular motion only putting as much pressure as needed.

Absolutely. We recommend starting with a 15:1 ratio and do a small test area. Spray it on the area and lightly scrub or rub. Only scrub as hard as you need to so as not to remove the color from the garment. Pre-treat the area immediately for best results. It works great on oil, dirt and food stains.

WARNING: Never use Eco Orange on suede, satin or silk. That’s a no-no.

We don’t advertise Eco Orange for use in hospital surgical suites or operating rooms. We do, however, sell Eco Orange to many doctor’s offices. Because medical facilities likely have specific medical-grade cleaning standards to prevent infection and contamination, we encourage you to check into those requirements.

With that said, Eco Orange does kill the HIV and strep virus, et al. The citrus acid and proprietary surfactants in Eco act as a natural disinfectant. This maybe heresy for us to even suggest this  — you can safely add a capful of bleach to an Eco Orange dilution for good measure in an sterile environment. Again, we typically don’t suggest this because that goes against our all-natural, non-toxic, odorless cleaning mission.

Use a 15-to-1 ratio — 15 parts water and 1 part Eco Orange. And don’t fret if it’s not a perfect ratio. Eyeballing it is just fine as Eco Orange is not a dangerous compound in any way.

If you’re mopping from a bucket, mix your Eco and water in there. There is no need to re-mop with clean water when done. There should be no film or residue left behind if your Eco is properly diluted.

If using a Swiffer mop, grab a spray bottle filled with Eco Orange and water dilution (15:1), spray the tile floor with it, and then mop it up with the Swiffer. If you have some serious baked-in grime on the tile, spray the Eco Orange mixture and let it sit for a minute; it should come right up when you mop.

If by chance you have porous tiles in which black gunk gets in those pores, a pass of the Swiffer won’t reach below tile surface level. And if you are a clean freak, it’s likely that those tiny dirty pores bother might bother you. We recommend that once or twice a year you spray Eco Orange mixture onto the porous tile and employ a Magic Erase sponge in a circular motion. No hard pressure is needed. It comes right out of those porous crevices. It’s amazing.

We don’t typically advertise Eco Orange as a deterrent for termites, and especially something as serious as termites. We don’t want to be responsible if Eco Orange lets a few critters through. That would hang heavy on our conscience.

That said, to repel them spray a mixture of 2 parts water to 1 part Eco around your perimeter – the d-Limonene, which is in Eco Orange, is known to repel and deter.

YES, as in it won’t hurt the dishwasher in any way. But, NO, we don’t recommend it for these reasons:

1.) Eco Orange is a concentrated liquid and it can’t be properly diluted as required because dishwashers release all of the “chambered” detergent at one time.

2.) Dishwasher liquid soap has added viscosity properties in the blend, so it is designed to lather and give it the ability to “dwell” (linger, hang) on dishes before being rinsed away. Eco Orange Concentrate is not thick, aka viscous.

3.) Eco Orange is not cost effective to use in a dishwasher… BUT if you want to pre-soak something in a 10:1 Eco solution? Now you’re talking MAGIC.

YES! YES! YES! …. and YES.

Add to your heart’s (and nose’s) content.

We have many disparate businesses and industries that buy Eco Orange. When queried, we have found out that churches and community centers like to use our product because of all the folks frequenting such places. Many people these days have myriad health problems, sensitivities and allergies and so it’s important to go with a nontoxic, mildly-scented cleaner to cater to everyone’s safety.

If you have a moment, read this testimony we received a few month ago:

I used to work at a newspaper company that used Pine-Sol to clean bathrooms, mop the floors, etc., and many tolerated it fine, but for some it made them nauseous, gave them headaches and/or watery eyes. It actually became a human resources issue. Eco Orange would have been a welcome solution back then.  — Jenny H., Scranton, PA

YES. Dilute your basin with a 25:1 ratio — 1 part Eco Orange, 25 parts water. Rinse dishes with water per the usual. There is no cause for concern if there is a soap residue due to a poor rinse job (which sometimes happens if in a rush). Just allow dishes to air dry and you’ll be good to go.

YES. Dilute for sure or you will have a soapy mess! Eco Orange is highly concentrated and becomes activated when mixed with water.
For your job, we recommend 15:1 or 10:1 (10 parts water and 1 part cleaner). It doesn’t have to be an exact science – you can eyeball these things.
We use Eco Orange in our pressure washer to clean the siding of our house and our painted garage floor. In areas where there is auto fluid leak spots, we let it sit for a bit and then use a long handled floor brush and scrub it away.
