Is Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner fragrance-free?Updated 7 days ago

✓ No added fragrance, and here is the whole list

Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner has no perfume, parfum or synthetic scent on the ingredient list. The full list: Aqua (deionised water), ethanol, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium metasilicate pentahydrate, trisodium dicarboxymethyl alaninate, polyacrylic acid sodium salt, xanthan gum, lipase, protease, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E), citric acid.

Ethanol is one of them, and ethanol is a volatile organic compound (VOC). The mild scent you notice comes from that ingredient base, with no added perfume over it.

✓ One less variable in the air

Synthetic fragrance compounds linger on surfaces and in the air after cleaning, and a kitchen is often an enclosed space. A formula with no added fragrance takes that variable out.

✓ What it does not settle

People vary, and Koh does not claim a wholesale 100 per cent for every household. What is substantiated is specific: no parfum anywhere on the ingredient list, and three independent assessments behind it.

If a household member reacts to a specific ingredient, the full list above is there to check against.
