Why We Trust This Brand

Force of Nature achieves what most "natural" cleaners only promise: genuine disinfecting power without a single toxic ingredient. The EPA registration means its efficacy claims are verified by the federal government, not just marketing. And it remains fully founder-owned with no outside investment, meaning the product stays pure because the founder makes the decisions, not shareholders.

Ingredient Deep Dive

Ingredient Safety 10/10

The ingredient list is astonishingly simple: salt, water, vinegar. These combine electrochemically to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful oxidant that destroys bacteria and viruses on contact. There are zero preservatives because the solution is made fresh. Zero fragrances because there is nothing to mask. This is as clean as cleaning gets.

Certifications
