Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser 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.

Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser lists 6 ingredients, starting with Benzalkonium Chloride, Non-ionic Surfactants, Fragrance, Sodium Bicarbonate and Sodium Carbonate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser scores worse than most disinfectants & sanitizers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in disinfectants & sanitizers is PURELL Surface Sanitising Spray at 100/100.
