CloroxPro™ Canada introduces new plant-based Clorox™ EcoClean Disinfecting Wipes for professional settings as eco-conscious product adoption reaches all-time high

Clorox™ EcoClean Disinfecting Wipes is the latest in the CloroxPro product portfolio of eco-conscious, ready-to-use cleaners and disinfectants that work as well as traditional cleaners

TORONTO, Jan. 22, 2025 /CNW/ - CloroxPro, the trusted maker of Clorox professional products, is proud to announce the expansion of the EcoClean product portfolio with the launch of CloroxPro™ Clorox™ EcoClean Disinfecting Wipes. These ready-to-use wipes are made with a 100 per cent plant-based substrate and naturally-derived, citric acid active ingredient that kills 99.9 per cent of germs without bleach, ammonia or alcohol.¹

Research from the 2024 Clean Index Survey shows that two in three cleaning professionals are using eco-conscious products in their facilities, while 60 per cent of respondents report that their facility has set a business goal to use more eco-conscious products in the coming years.²

"We're seeing demand for eco-conscious cleaners and disinfectants increase as facilities set sustainability goals, and as cleaning professionals seek a more comfortable cleaning experience," said Bilal Demachkie, Business Director, CloroxPro Canada. "We've seen great success with the new EcoClean portfolio, especially in settings like offices, gyms and schools. Ready-to-use wipes is a cleaning category that has exploded in popularity as a way to easily disinfect high touch surfaces wherever you are, so introducing EcoClean disinfecting wipes – which offer cleaning professionals an eco-conscious alternative that works just as well as the leading professional disinfecting wipe – is a natural progression for this in-demand product line."³

The Importance of Disinfecting Wipes

The Clean Index Survey found that more than half of consumers are concerned about germ exposure at work.²

• 80% of consumers said that sanitized and disinfected surfaces are one of the most important aspects of a clean workspace, and 73% of those concerned about workplace germs say they use disinfecting wipes at their desk and on high-touch surfaces.
• 3 in 4 respondents said that high-touch surfaces in workplaces like door handles and light switches should be regularly cleaned and disinfected.
• 79% of consumers said it is important for businesses to provide disinfecting wipes in the workplace.
