Force Of Nature I don’t recommend this brand because it has a controversial ingredient!
This is a disinfectant, not a household cleaner since its formulation generates a form of chlorine!!
Even though it is much less than in a conventional bleach it is still chlorine!
The company states: “Those individually allergic to Chlorine should avoid direct contact as it may cause irritation with symptoms of redness, itching, and swelling.”
Even if you are not allergic to it, you are still breathing and touching chlorine. Chlorine is also not eco-friendly!
Their chlorine is in their Hypochlorous acid (HOCI) and Sodium Hydroxide (aka Caustic Soda) that is formed during the electrolysis of vinegar, salt, and water.
Does chlorine and caustic soda sound eco-friendly to you?
1. First sign of greenwashing
Greenwashing. is when a brand pretends to be eco-friendly or organic. They claim it is only salt, water, and vinegar.
Their full ingredients list is not easy to find! But in reality, the ingredient list is reported in their safety data sheet:
INGREDIENTS: Water, sodium chloride (salt), Hypochlorous Acid HOCl, Sodium Hydroxide NaOH, aka Caustic soda.
Hypochlorous Acid and Sodium Hydroxide mixture.
It sounds much more aggressive, less eco-friendly, and safer!
2. Second sign of greenwashing
“Force of Nature is gentle, hypoallergenic, and fine to use without gloves.”
SAFETY DATA SHEET: Chemical Name: Hypochlorous Acid, Sodium Hydroxide Formula: H20; NaCl; HOCl; NaOH
It is not gentle or hypoallergenic!!
Let’s analyze their ingredients:
Sodium Hydroxide: According to Wikipedia drops of Sodium Hydroxide NaOH solutions can readily decompose…which consequently causes chemical burns and may induce permanent blindness upon contact with the eyes. Sodium Hydroxide is called also CAUSTIC SODA
Hypochlorous Acid: According to Wikipedia, the ingredient Hypochlorous Acid HOCl is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water
It is not the same as bleach; it has a different chemical composition than bleach.
Hypochlorous acid is considered safe until it is diluted with water
Bleach (sodium hypochlorite): NaOCl
Hypochlorous Acid: HOCl
Hypochlorous acid reacts slowly with DNA and RNA as well as all nucleotides in vitro.
Storage issues: Most hypochlorous acid water has a short shelf life and is not suitable to keep for a long time. Electrolyzed alkaline ionized water loses its potency fairly quickly, so it cannot be stored for long.
3. Third sign of greenwashing
CLAIMS:
1. “Electrolyzed water, the solution that the Force of Nature appliance creates using salt, water & vinegar.”
Also, where is the vinegar (CH3COOH) in their safety data sheet?
Electrolyzed Water:
What does Electrolyzed water mean? The technology uses electricity to change the chemical composition.
According to Wikipedia: Electrolyzed Water is produced by the electrolysis of ordinary tap water containing dissolved sodium chloride.[1] The electrolysis of such salt solutions produces a solution of hypochlorous acid and sodium hydroxide. The resulting water can be used as a disinfectant.[2] Electrolyzed alkaline ionized water loses its potency fairly quickly, so it cannot be stored for long.
Amazon review:
Not like vinegar, and not like chlorine bleach or swimming-pool water–those smells I kind of like!– but like some kind of acid we had to make in the college chemistry lab. It irritated my nasal passages and throat and took the finish off my nice, stainless steel espresso maker–without actually cleaning the surface.
Conclusion
I won’t recommend it unless it is necessary to truly disinfect on a particular occasion, even then I still recommend more eco-friendly alternatives. Wear gloves!
