Enzyme-Based Multi-Surface Cleaner vs. Bon Ami Powder Cleanser

Materials

• Water
• Enzyme blend (protease, amylase)
• Plant surfactants

Common claims

• Naturally breaks down stains
• Non-toxic enzymes
• Pet-safe

Concerns / watch-outs

• Effectiveness depends on contact time; not a substitute for scrubbing on heavy buildup

Notes

An excellent alternative to harsh chemical cleaners for organic messes — food spills, pet accidents, drains. Look for concentrated formulas to reduce plastic waste.

Cleaner alternatives

• castile soap
• vinegar cleaner

Materials

• Feldspar (mild abrasive)
• Sodium carbonate
• Sodium bicarbonate

Common claims

• Fragrance-free
• Non-toxic
• No dyes or chlorine

Concerns / watch-outs

Notes

Bon Ami is one of the oldest non-toxic cleanser brands and remains one of the cleanest options. Fragrance-free, no chlorine, and highly effective at scrubbing without harsh chemistry.

Cleaner alternatives
