You just want what is best for your family, friends, colleagues and us, too. That's why pistol ® cleaning products are made from high quality ingredients that are at least 95% of natural origin.
ingredient | how it works | what product is it in? |
---|---|---|
alkyl polyglucoside
|
The top-secret cleaning ingredient inside our products? Believe it or not, it comes from plants. This plant-based cleaning agent is great at dissolving and removing dirt, oil and grease. | |
boric acid
|
This natural mineral compound works to stabilize the natural cleaning enzymes that break down protein-based stains, such as grass, blood and chocolate. The result? Cleaner clothes done naturally. | cleaning wipes |
colorant
|
Like any natural ingredient, natural dyes do have a shelf life. That’s why we add a very small amount of synthetic colorant (less than 0.1%) to our products for a bit of color. | all purpose cleaner |
ethanol
|
Streaks begone! This corn-based alcohol allows our products to dry quickly for a streak-free shine. | all purpose cleaner, cleaning wipes |
fragrance with essential oils
|
Natural fragrances can go bad over time, which is why our products contain synthetic fragrances with oils extracted from plants that leave behind a clean, fresh scent. | |
glycerine
|
This plant-based ingredient prevents streaking and ensures that our products are effective even when the temperature drops. | cleaning wipes |
potassium carbonate
|
This mineral-based ingredient increases the pH levels in our products for improved cleaning performance. | all cleaner |
potassium citrate
|
Because natural cleaning ingredients can degrade over time, we use this plant-based buffer to balance pH levels and prevent our stain-fighting ingredients from breaking down. | all cleaner |
preservative
|
Like anything that’s natural, the natural cleaning ingredients in our products can go bad over time. That’s why we add a small amount of preservative (less than 0.5%) to keep our products fresh and effective. | all cleaner, cleaning wipes |
silicone antifoaming agent
|
Bubbles are great when you’re doing the dishes, but not so helpful when you’re pretreating a stain or wiping up a sticky spill. That’s why a couple of our products contain an antifoaming agent that prevents streaks and unwanted residue. | cleaning wipes |
substrate
|
Our cleaning wipes are made from 100% wood-based fibers, which is also what makes them compostable. Just throw them in the green bin when you’re done! | cleaning wipes |
