Frequently Asked Questions

Are essential oils safe for pets?

Yes! The essential oils we use are highly diluted and in concentrations that are safe for both pets and humans. However, we always recommend keeping pets out of the area during application and allowing surfaces to dry completely. If your pet has specific sensitivities, consult your veterinarian.

What makes probiotics effective for cleaning?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that, together with plant-based enzymes, break down organic waste, grease, and odor-causing compounds at a microscopic level. This enzyme-driven action lifts the residue that ordinary cleaners leave behind, for surfaces that are genuinely clean.

Why is EWG rating important?

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is an independent, non-profit organization that evaluates ingredients based on scientific research for health and environmental safety. Their ratings help consumers make informed choices. We exclusively use ingredients rated 1-2 (Excellent) because they have the lowest health concerns and are backed by scientific evidence as the safest options available.

Can I use Natural House products if I have allergies or sensitivities?

Our products are formulated with plant-based, hypoallergenic ingredients and contain no harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or common allergens. However, individual sensitivities vary. We provide complete ingredient transparency so you can review every ingredient before use. If you have specific concerns, we recommend testing on a small area first or consulting with your healthcare provider.

How do your ingredients compare to conventional cleaners?

Conventional cleaners often contain synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia, and ingredients with EWG ratings of 3-7 or higher. Natural House products use ONLY ingredients rated 1-2 (Excellent), contain no synthetic fragrances, and are free from the 12+ harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional cleaners. See our comparison chart above for a detailed breakdown.

Are your products truly biodegradable?

Yes! All of our ingredients are biodegradable and break down naturally in the environment. Our plant-based surfactants, probiotics, and natural enzymes decompose without leaving harmful residues. This means they are safe for septic systems and will not contribute to water pollution like many conventional cleaners.
