Does Force of Nature Actually Work?
Yes! Force of Nature is an EPA-registered disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs, including Norovirus, MRSA, Salmonella, Listeria, Pseudomonas, E. Coli, and Influenza A.
It’s been rigorously tested for both cleaning and disinfecting performance and proven to work just as well as the leading brands — without the toxic ingredients. And if that sounds too good to be true, we get it – so we’ve got the science and proof for you in this post. Looking for a quick summary of the science? See Does Force of Nature really work?.
Backed by Scientific Proof and Real-World Performance
Force of Nature uses the same active ingredient that’s used in wound healing, eye care, veterinary care, organic crop production, and green cleaning & sanitizing — hypochlorous acid. It’s a powerful disinfectant that’s also gentle on people, pets, and the planet because it’s made from just salt, water, vinegar, and electricity.
Here’s how Force of Nature stacks up:
- EPA registered, medical-grade disinfectant and sanitizer
- Deodorizes by killing odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the source
- Just as effective as Formula 409 on grease, Windex on glass, Scrubbing Bubbles on soap scum, Febreze on odors, and Resolve on rugs
- EPA registered for disinfecting hospitals, ICUs, schools, veterinary clinics, homes, and more

Why Force of Nature Works
Traditional cleaning products rely on chemicals like surfactants, fragrances, preservatives, and quaternary ammonium compounds (“quats”) to kill germs and dissolve messes. But these ingredients are linked to asthma, hormone disruption, skin irritation, and more. Force of Nature skips all of that by using electrolyzed water technology to create hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the same substance your white blood cells produce to fight infection.
In our appliances, electricity transforms salt, water, and vinegar molecules into:
- Hypochlorous acid (HOCl): the powerful disinfecting ingredient
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH): the gentle yet powerful cleaning agent
Our formula is toxin-free and safe on virtually every surface.
