Editor's Note

A step up from conventional cleaners in surfactant chemistry, but the strong fragrance makes it a Caution for scent-sensitive households.

Is Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Cleaner safe?

Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Cleaner is rated Use Caution. It's not our top pick for a low-tox home, but with mindful use — following manufacturer guidelines, replacing when worn, and avoiding high-heat or abrasive conditions — the risks may be manageable for some households.

Key concerns at a glance:

  • Uses essential oil-based fragrances which, while natural, can be sensitizing for asthma or fragrance sensitivity
  • EWG scoring is moderate due to fragrance and some preservatives
