Better Life All-Purpose Cleaner, Clary Sage & Citrus, 32 Ounces by Better Life

Q: Does this kill bacteria and germs?

Yes! I discovered this product after watching the episode on shark tank where it took bacteria from chicken and cleaned it better than Lysol.

Q: everyone talks about how good this products cleans,but what about the smell. I need an absolute odor free product

It doesn't have a perfume smell. It has a light smell that is closer to Method's fragrance-free hand soap. It just smells clean. I get asthma attacks and allergic reactions to fragrances and this doesn't trigger it. What little smell it has dissipated quickly. Give it a try by buying a single bottle to see if it works for you. Everyone's sensitivity is different. The light smell may be fine for some of us but not others.

Q: How does it do on concrete, hardwood and large cermaic tile floors? Also had a leak and have fine mildew spots on all surfaces from ceiling down..??

This is more for sanitizing surfaces and cleaning up spills. While I have used it for bathroom cleaning and preventing mold/mildew, I wouldn't recommend it for your question. If you are looking for a natural type cleaner Better Life brand does make a tub and tile cleaner which I used moving into a rental that had mold/mildew in the bathroom. I also used Method brand all purpose wipes on the ceiling for the water drop spots where mold was happening. Our bathroom has a window but no vent so it gets very steamy and wet after a shower and we moved into a moldy space. It took a good bit of scrubbing but it all came out, no chemical burns on skin, no coughing from fumes and the smell wasn't bad. Upkeep is very easy too. I have asthma and so when people would use stuff like Lysol, Windex or other heavy cleaners around me I would have to sit outside. Here though I don't have a problem anymore. Better Life brand also makes a daily shower spray which we use every day after showering to prevent mold. All of the products between Better Life, Method, Mrs Meyers and a few other sustainable companies all make this house built in the 1920s sparkle. Mildew/mold GONE!

Q: According to ewg this cleaner contains methylisothiazolinone. is that right?

3/01/ 2022 Unknown as the ingredient list is incredibly vague. Current ingredient list from the product page is as follows: "Purified water, coconut surfactant, vegetable-based surfactant, pure essential oils of clary sage and lemon, preservative" There is a good chance the mysterious 'preservative' is indeed methylisothiazolinone if it was listed in the past, plus other products of theirs (like their floor cleaner) do contain it unfortunately. I was hoping maybe some of their products were worth buying but unfortunately it seems like they are all greenwashed. :(
