Introduction
CleanWell Company is based in San Francisco, California. Original design work was done by IDEO.[1]
Active Ingredient
The active ingredient in CleanWell is a patented formulation of thyme oil.[2] Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the Federal Register exempted thymol because it has a minimal potential toxicity and poses minimum risk, meaning it is considered safe for the U.S. population, including infants and children.[3]
Partnership
CleanWell has partnered with Seventh Generation Inc. and Method Home[4] to power lines of disinfectants using the same active ingredient.
