At A Glance
What the current dataset shows.
These figures describe the EPA's Safer Choice data, not the entire cleaning-products market. They are useful for writers, buyers, and businesses looking for a transparent snapshot of the certified-product landscape.

Safer Choice dataset records
EPA’s downloadable Safer Choice dataset contained 4,940 records. A product can appear more than once when it is listed for more than one use or product type.

Catalog entries are not always one-for-one with products.
The EPA notes that a product may appear in more than one search result when it is available for both home and business use or belongs to more than one product type. For that reason, this page separates the 4,940 dataset records from the 1,468 distinct product and company combinations.
Safer Choice is a voluntary EPA label. A listing indicates that the product was evaluated against the program's standard, not that it is the only appropriate option for every cleaning task. Always follow a product's label and surface-care instructions.
Sources And Method

Dataset statistics above were counted from the EPA's downloadable Safer Choice dataset on November 6, 2026. Counts for product sector, fragrance-free status, outdoor-use status, and company partner are based on the fields EPA publishes in that dataset. The EPA's own note about duplicate entries is reflected in the context above.
The fiscal-year figures come from EPA's Safer Choice Performance Measures, updated in January 2026. They report program activity for fiscal year 2025 and should not be read as a live dataset count.
