Our Product Rating System

Our Product Rating System

First, Camille (co-creator of Welpr) hand picks cleaner product options from a variety of sources.

Next, we collect information about each product's safety, consumer satisfaction, and eco-ethical standing.

Finally, we run all this information through an algorithm that calculates the Welpr Rating.

Welpr Rating:

5.0/5

The Welpr Rating takes into account 3 things:

  1. Product Safety
  2. Consumer Satisfaction
  3. Ethics & Environment
Product safety

Part 1: Product safety

We evaluate safety information from 3rd party organizations (e.g. EWG, Made Safe, etc.). Instead of relying solely on any one of these companies for safety information, we assess all of them.

Consumer satisfaction

Part 2: Consumer satisfaction

We scour the web for consumer ratings and reviews to verify products are not only cleaner options, but also effective. Products can either be Above Average, Average, or Below average for their respective category (e.g. cleaning products).

Ethics & Environment

Part 3: Ethics & Environment

When you buy a product, you’re supporting that company with your dollars. We believe it’s important to support ethical companies, so we pool together certifications that verify a company's ethics and environmental impact.

Common Harmful Chemicals in Dusting Spray

Chemical Name

Why it’s harmful

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane can cause frostbite through the evaporation of its liquid form. High concentrations of this chemical, when inhaled, may lead to central nervous system (CNS) depression and cardiac arrhythmias, as stated in the International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC).

1,1-difluoroethane

1,1-difluoroethane is a flammable and toxic gas used as a refrigerant, aerosol propellant, and intermediate. Its toxicologic properties can cause effects such as light-headedness, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, pulmonary edema, palpitations, ventricular fibrillation, frostbite, and sudden death on exposure through inhalation or dermal contact. Additionally, it poses an explosion risk in confined spaces, with its vapor potentially igniting from heat, sparks, or flames. If leaked, 1,1-difluoroethane could cause fire, producing harmful fumes like hydrogen fluoride or phosgene. Shipping of 1,1-difluoroethane should be done carefully, avoiding passenger-carrying aircraft and railcars, and upon leakage, it should be isolated and not allowed to enter water sources or sewers.

Dimethyl Ether

Dimethyl ether, used at lethal concentrations, acts as a general anesthetic, according to animal studies. This chemical will cause frostbite in its liquid state. Additionally, the U.N. International Drug Control Programme has listed it as a potentially abusive volatile substance due to its capacity to cause narcosis in workers. Further, it caused slight inebriation at 50,000 ppm, partial incoordination at 82,000 ppm, and unconsciousness at 200,000 ppm (after 17 minutes) in human volunteers.

Polydimethylsiloxane

Permitted as an inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products, Polydimethylsiloxane is classified as an irritant. According to Scientific Polymer Products MSDS, it may form a siloxane polymer upon contact with skin, eyes, or lungs. This suggests the chemical can potentially cause irritation when users come into direct contact with it during use, emphasizing the importance of protective measures.

Hey, I’m Camille—co-creator of Welpr and your go-to guide for all things clean living. After selling my last company in the health food space, I went non-toxic to heal an autoimmune condition. It did wonders for my health, but navigating which products to buy wasn’t easy. We built Welpr to make that journey feel a bit easier.  When I’m not working on Welpr, you’ll usually find me in the sauna, sipping a raw milk latte while doing a puzzle, or walking with my pit bull Romeo in my hometown of Austin, TX.
