Force of Nature has a very light, clean swimming-pool-like scent that’s naturally created when salt, water & vinegar are electrolyzed in the appliance. There are no added fragrances, so it’s a great option for people with asthma, allergies, or fragrance sensitivities.

The active disinfecting ingredient in Force of Nature Cleaner is hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful antimicrobial that’s tough on germs but gentle enough to be used around kids and pets when used as directed. Hypochlorous acid is the same compound your immune system makes to fight infections.

The formula also contains a very small amount of sodium hydroxide, a common detergent ingredient that helps dissolve grease, grime, and soap scum. It’s used at different concentrations in products ranging from skincare to toothpaste to cleaners.

The Force of Nature appliance uses an electrical current to transform salt, water, and vinegar into two new ingredients: hypochlorous acid (the disinfectant) and sodium hydroxide (the cleaner).

This technology, called electrolyzed water, has been used safely for decades in hospitals and industrial settings. You can learn more on our How Force of Nature Works page.

The Force of Nature Starter Kit includes everything you need to get started: the Force of Nature appliance, a reusable spray bottle, and 5 Activator Capsules. Each capsule makes one bottle of Force of Nature all-in-1 Cleaner, Deodorizer and Disinfectant.

The Starter Kit includes 5 Activator Capsules, which make 5 bottles of Force of Nature Cleaner and Disinfectant. How long it lasts depends on how often you clean and how many products you’re replacing. Customers who use it to replace all their cleaning products tend to use about a bottle a week.

You’ll generally use about the same amount of Force of Nature as the products it replaces. If you’re using it instead of separate kitchen, bathroom, glass, floor cleaners, deodorizers, and disinfectant sprays, you’ll use the same amount of Force of Nature as you do of those products combined.

Force of Nature can be used to clean virtually any surface – sealed stone including granite, marble & quartz, wood, laminate, stainless steel, glass, grout, tile, porcelain, plastic, rubber & even on high chair trays & cutting boards. Deodorize trash, diaper pails, kitty litter, pet toys & bedding. Clean colorfast rugs (great for pet accidents!), stuffed animals, carseats & strollers. Always test first for color fastness in an inconspicuous spot, let dry before proceeding and don’t use on fabrics labeled “only non-chlorine bleach”.

A few tips: Because Force of Nature has no whiteners like bleach or titanium, it won’t remove set in rust, hard water, or mold stains on porous surfaces. With soap scum, depending on build up & surface porosity, you may need a mild abrasive like baking soda with your scrub brush the first few times. This is because soap scum builds up in layers & can require a few applications to break down. If you’re using Force of Nature on brass or copper, either rinse with water or wipe until it’s thoroughly dry because it shouldn’t sit on soft metals over time.

If you have hard water (over 100 ppm), we recommend using distilled, de-ionized, or softened water. Minerals in hard water can interfere with the chemistry, making the cleaner less effective, and can shorten the life of your appliance.

Like bubbles in a carbonated drink, hypochlorous acid dissipates over time. To ensure optimal cleaning and disinfecting performance, we recommend using the solution within two weeks of making it.

The bottle is 12 oz, vs a typical cleaner which is around 26-32 oz. Because you can use it for all your cleaning needs (replacing kitchen, bathroom, glass, floor cleaners, sanitizers, disinfectants and deodorizers) you’ll find you can easily use it up within 2 weeks. The light ring around the bottom of the electrolyzer appliance is color coded to let you know when it’s time to make a new batch.

Yes. Force of Nature has earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. In order to receive the NEA seal, we completed skin safety testing overseen by a Board Certified Dermatologist. Our formula met the NEA requirements for safety on all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Yes. The Starter Kit is great for people who want to try Force of Nature for the first time. It’s a great way to see how it works before committing to a larger bundle with more capsules.
