Ajax Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Ajax Multi-Purpose Cleaner scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Ajax Multi-Purpose Cleaner lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Sodium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Ajax Multi-Purpose Cleaner scores worse than most surface cleaners we have scored.
