Clean Boss Multi-Surface Disinfectant was recommended to me by my sister as a plant-based alternative to harsh chemical cleaners. It is marketed as a powerful, eco-friendly disinfectant and promises to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses while being safe for everyday use.
Intrigued by the these claims and natural formula, I decided to try Clean Boss for myself. While it does have some positives, my experience wasn’t entirely flawless.
What is Clean Boss Disinfectant?
Clean Boss Disinfectant is a botanical-based, multi-surface cleaner that uses thymol (derived from thyme oil) as its active ingredient. It is marketed as an effective disinfectant that is free from bleach, chlorine, and ammonia, making it a safer option for homes with children and pets.
The product claims include:
- Kill 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and mold
- Be EPA-registered, meaning it meets disinfection standards
- Work on various surfaces, including countertops, fabrics, and electronics
- Be non-toxic and safe for daily use
My Experience Using Clean Boss Disinfectant
As someone living with pets, I was happy to come across Clean Boss, especially since it claims to be a powerful disinfectant without the harsh chemicals found in traditional cleaners. I placed an order and it was shipped to me in no time. The spray bottle was well-designed which made it easy to use.
The cleanergenerally worked well for general surface cleaning. It effectively wiped away dust, minor spills, and fingerprints from countertops and tables. However, when it came to tougher stains, like grease, and soap stains, it wasn’t as strong as I had hoped. I had to apply multiple sprays and extra scrubbing to remove the grime in the kitchen.
One thing that stood out was the scent. The product has a very strong herbal thyme smell, which some people might find refreshing and earthy, but I personally found it a bit overwhelming, especially when used in closed spaces like the toilet.
Another issue I wasn’t pleased with was residue. On some surfaces like glass and stainless steel, the disinfectant left behind a slightly cloudy film which required additional wiping.
