help Method Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner FAQ
Does Method Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner contain bleach?

It uses a plant-based active ingredient called citric acid to kill 99.9% of household bacteria, which is a departure from the quaternary ammonium compounds used in many conventional antibacterial cleaners.
What surfaces can I use Method Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner on?
Method's antibacterial spray is suitable for most hard, non-porous surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom, including countertops, sinks, and appliances. It should not be used on unfinished wood or surfaces that are sensitive to acidic cleaners.
Does Method Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner kill viruses?
Method Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner is EPA-registered to kill 99.9% of bacteria, but you should check the product label for specific claims about viruses, as antibacterial and antiviral claims are regulated separately. The product's citric acid formula has demonstrated efficacy against certain pathogens but may not have the full viral kill claims of bleach-based disinfectants.
Is Method Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner safe around food preparation areas?
Because Method uses plant-based ingredients and avoids bleach, it is generally considered suitable for use on kitchen surfaces, but you should still wipe surfaces with a damp cloth after cleaning food prep areas. Always follow the label instructions regarding rinsing before food contact.
