What is Carbon Cleanse made of?

Carbon Cleanse contains just two active ingredients: d-Limonene (a powerful citrus-derived solvent extracted from orange peels) and Decyl Glucoside (a gentle, plant-based surfactant derived from coconut oil and corn glucose), blended with purified water. No dyes, fragrances, parabens, phthalates, or synthetic chemicals. Every ingredient is plant-derived and fully biodegradable.

How does it actually work with only two ingredients?

The d-Limonene acts as a nonpolar solvent — it dissolves grease, oil, and grime on contact at the molecular level. The Decyl Glucoside is a surfactant that lifts the dissolved grime off the surface and suspends it in the water so you can wipe it away cleanly. Together, they deliver industrial-strength cleaning power without the chemical cocktail.

What surfaces can I use Carbon Cleanse on?

Carbon Cleanse works on virtually any hard surface — countertops (including granite and quartz), stainless steel, glass, tile, porcelain, sealed wood, laminate, appliances, stovetops, sinks, and outdoor furniture. It cuts through kitchen grease, soap scum, fingerprints, and general grime. Avoid unsealed natural stone (marble, travertine), waxed surfaces, and unfinished wood, as the citrus solvent may strip waxes or sealants.

Is Carbon Cleanse an EPA-registered pesticide?

No. Carbon Cleanse qualifies for an EPA FIFRA 25(b) exemption as a minimum-risk pesticide product. All of our active and inert ingredients appear on the EPA's approved lists for 25(b) products. This means our formula has been determined by the EPA to pose minimal risk to human health and the environment — no registration required.

Does it have a scent?

Yes — a natural, fresh citrus scent from the d-Limonene. We don't add any synthetic fragrances. What you smell is literally the orange peel extract doing its job. The scent fades quickly after cleaning.

What size does Carbon Cleanse come in?

Carbon Cleanse is available in 23 oz and 32 oz spray bottles with a professional-grade trigger sprayer. Carbon Cleanse also offers a 1 gallon (US) refill jug and a 5 gallon (US) pail for larger uses.

Is Carbon Cleanse safe around kids and pets?

Carbon Cleanse is made from plant-derived, biodegradable ingredients and is far gentler than conventional cleaners. However, like any cleaning product, it should be kept out of reach of children. The concentrated d-Limonene can cause serious eye irritation on direct contact. Always store it safely, and avoid spraying near faces. Once a surface has been cleaned and wiped, it is safe for children and pets to touch.

What should I do if it gets in my eyes?

Remove contact lenses if present. Rinse eyes cautiously with clean water for several minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Full first-aid instructions are printed on every bottle label and in our Safety Data Sheet (SDS), available upon request.

Is it safe for people with allergies or sensitivities?

Carbon Cleanse is free of synthetic fragrances, dyes, parabens, phthalates, and common irritants found in conventional cleaners. However, d-Limonene is a citrus compound — individuals with known citrus allergies or very sensitive skin should test on a small area first. Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs.

Is Carbon Cleanse flammable?

d-Limonene is a naturally flammable liquid. At the diluted concentration in Carbon Cleanse, the risk is minimal under normal household use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Do not puncture or incinerate the container.

Can I request a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?

Absolutely. Email us at support@carboncleanse.com and we'll send you our full 16-section GHS-compliant SDS. We believe in full ingredient transparency.

We currently ship within the contiguous United States (lower 48 states). Due to the product's classification as containing flammable liquid, we are unable to ship to Alaska, Hawaii, APO/FPO addresses, or international destinations at this time. We're working on expanding shipping options.

How long does shipping take?

Orders typically ship within 1-3 business days and arrive within 5-7 business days via ground service. You'll receive a tracking number by email once your order ships. During promotional periods, processing may take an extra day.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size. We periodically offer free shipping promotions — sign up for our email list to be the first to know.

What is your return policy?

We stand behind our product. If you're not completely satisfied with Carbon Cleanse, you may return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. The product must be in its original packaging with at least 75% of the contents remaining. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the product arrived damaged or defective.

What if my order arrives damaged?

If your order arrives damaged, leaking, or defective, contact us at support@carboncleanse.com within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the damage. We'll send a free replacement or issue a full refund — your choice. No need to ship the damaged product back.

How do I start a return?

Email support@carboncleanse.com with your order number and the reason for your return. We'll respond within 1-2 business days with return instructions and a shipping address. Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days of receiving the returned product.

Can I cancel my order after placing it?

If your order hasn't shipped yet, we can cancel it for a full refund. Contact us as soon as possible at support@carboncleanse.com. Once an order has shipped, it falls under our standard return policy.

Is Carbon Cleanse cruelty-free?

Yes. Carbon Cleanse is never tested on animals. Our ingredients — d-Limonene, Decyl Glucoside, and water — have decades of established safety data, so no animal testing is needed or conducted at any point in our supply chain.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Our bottles are made from HDPE plastic, which is widely accepted by curbside recycling programs (recycling code #2). The trigger sprayer should be removed before recycling the bottle. We also offer 1-gallon and 5-gallon refill sizes so you can reuse your spray bottle and reduce packaging waste.

How is Carbon Cleanse different from green cleaners like Branch Basics or Seventh Generation?

Most green cleaners still contain 8-15 ingredients, including preservatives, stabilizers, and proprietary blends. Carbon Cleanse takes a radically simpler approach: two active ingredients and water. No hidden ingredient lists, no proprietary blend language. You know exactly what's in the bottle, and every ingredient is a recognizable, plant-derived compound. We believe the cleanest cleaner is the simplest one.

Is Carbon Cleanse biodegradable?

Yes. Both d-Limonene and Decyl Glucoside are readily biodegradable. They break down naturally in the environment without leaving behind persistent chemical residues. Carbon Cleanse is safe for septic systems and greywater.

The Formula That Does the Work

Just two active ingredients and purified water. That's it.

d-Limonene (5%) — a naturally-derived citrus solvent that cuts grease, tar, adhesives, and carbon deposits
Decyl Glucoside (5%) — a plant-based surfactant that lifts and suspends soils so they rinse clean

No dyes. No fragrance additives. No phosphates. No quaternary ammonium. No proprietary mystery blends.

What that means for you:

Predictable performance — you know exactly what's on your shelves and in your SDS binder
Simplified SDS management — fewer products, fewer safety data sheets, fewer training requirements

Pro tip for your team: Because Carbon Cleanse is ready-to-use at 5% active strength, it can be further diluted 1:1 or 1:2 for lighter duty work — stretching a 55-gallon drum into the equivalent of 110–165 gallons of light-duty cleaner.
