Common questions

Is Windex Original healthy?

Windex Original 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.

What is in Windex Original?

Windex Original lists 7 ingredients, starting with Water, Ammonium Hydroxide, Isopropyl Alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol and Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Windex Original contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Windex Original’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Windex Original?

Windex Original has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Windex Original compare to other glass cleaner?

At 15/100 Windex Original scores worse than most glass cleaner we have scored. A higher-scoring option in glass cleaner is Branch Basics Fragrance-Free Glass Cleaner at 93/100.
