What It IsCe que c'est
Plant-Based Stainless Steel CleanerNettoyant acier inoxydable à base de plantes
A water-based stainless steel cleaner that actually cleans — it lifts fingerprints, water marks, and light grease off the steel instead of laying down an oily polish film that fingerprints re-stick to within a day.Un nettoyant acier inoxydable à base d'eau qui nettoie vraiment — il retire les empreintes, les marques d'eau et la graisse légère de l'acier au lieu de déposer un film de polish huileux auquel les empreintes recollent en moins d'une journée.
Most drugstore "stainless polish" is built on mineral or silicone oil. It buffs to a shine, then the oil holds every new fingerprint in place. This formula skips the oil entirely. A coconut-derived surfactant system lifts the soil, citric acid handles water-spot minerals, and a little bio-ethanol flashes off clean. No oily residue, no streak film. Use on appliances, range hoods, sinks, fixtures, and cookware exteriors.La plupart des « polishes inox » de pharmacie sont à base d'huile minérale ou de silicone. Ça lustre, puis l'huile retient chaque nouvelle empreinte. Cette formule élimine l'huile complètement. Un système de tensioactifs dérivés de la noix de coco décolle la saleté, l'acide citrique gère les minéraux des marques d'eau, et un peu de bio-éthanol s'évapore proprement. Aucun résidu huileux, aucun film de traces. Pour électroménagers, hottes, éviers, robinetterie et extérieurs de batterie de cuisine.

03 Benefits
Cleans the Steel, Doesn't Coat ItNettoie l'acier, ne l'enrobe pas
- No oil-based shine layer. Conventional polishes leave a mineral- or silicone-oil film that holds the next fingerprint in place. This lifts soil and leaves the bare steel clean.Aucune couche de brillance à base d'huile. Les polishes conventionnels laissent un film d'huile minérale ou de silicone qui retient l'empreinte suivante. Celui-ci décolle la saleté et laisse l'acier nu propre.
- Citric acid handles water spots. The white mineral marks on a sink or kettle are hard-water deposits — citric acid dissolves them rather than buffing oil over top.L'acide citrique gère les marques d'eau. Les marques minérales blanches sur un évier ou une bouilloire sont des dépôts d'eau dure — l'acide citrique les dissout au lieu de les masquer sous l'huile.
- Bio-ethanol flashes off clean. A small amount of plant-based ethanol speeds drying and leaves no streak-forming carrier behind — wipe with the grain and walk away.Le bio-éthanol s'évapore proprement. Une petite quantité d'éthanol végétal accélère le séchage sans laisser de support qui forme des traces — essuyez dans le sens du grain et c'est terminé.
- Phosphate-free and biodegradable per OECD 301D. Breaks down in standard waste-water conditions. Septic-safe in standard household use.Sans phosphates et biodégradable selon OECD 301D. Se décompose dans les conditions d'eaux usées standards. Compatible fosse septique en usage standard.

04 How to Use
How To UseMode d'emploi
Spray Onto the SurfaceVaporisez sur la surface
A light, even mist is enough. On a heavily marked appliance, spray a little more on the fingerprint-heavy zones around handles and the water line.Une fine bruine régulière suffit. Sur un électroménager très marqué, vaporisez un peu plus sur les zones d'empreintes autour des poignées et la ligne d'eau.
Wipe With the GrainEssuyez dans le sens du grain
Use a clean microfibre cloth and follow the direction of the brushed lines in the steel. Wiping across the grain is what leaves visible smears.Utilisez un chiffon en microfibre propre et suivez la direction des lignes brossées de l'acier. Essuyer à contre-grain est ce qui laisse des traces visibles.
No Rinse, No Buffing OilSans rinçage, sans huile lustrante
The bio-ethanol dries on its own — no rinse required and nothing oily left behind. Because there is no oil film, the next fingerprint wipes off instead of sticking.Le bio-éthanol sèche tout seul — aucun rinçage requis et rien d'huileux ne reste. Comme il n'y a pas de film d'huile, l'empreinte suivante s'essuie au lieu de coller.

Real Households.
What Customers Say After the Switch
From greenwash-burned shoppers to allergy households — here's what changed when they swapped in Sampson.
Finally a stainless cleaner that does not leave that greasy shine. My fridge used to look smudged again by dinner. Now the prints just wipe off the next morning. Wiping with the grain is the trick.
Used it on the range hood and the sink. The white water marks around the drain that I assumed were permanent came right off. No oily film, no chemical smell.
Works very well, no residue at all. Only note is you really do have to follow the grain or you see light streaks on a big fridge door. Once I figured that out it was flawless.
I switched the whole house to Sampson. This one earns its place — clean steel, short ingredient list I can actually read, made in Montreal. No more buying that oily polish that made things worse.
Why the next fingerprint shows up faster than the last
Most "stainless steel polish" is oil. The oil is why the fingerprints come back.
Conventional stainless polish is built on mineral or silicone oil. It buffs to a shine, then that oil film holds every new fingerprint in place — so the surface looks worse a day later than before you cleaned it. Sampson Eco Stainless Steel Cleaner uses no oil at all: a coconut-derived surfactant system lifts the soil, citric acid removes water-spot minerals, and bio-ethanol flashes off clean.
Spray cleaning products can be 63–99% total VOCs by weight; high-moisture liquid products like this one are 0.75–19% (Aerosol & Air Quality Research)
Phthalate metabolites are detectable in nearly all people tested in national biomonitoring — and synthetic "fragrance" in cleaning products is a recognized exposure route that needs no ingredient disclosure (CDC NHANES)
Petroleum-derived surfactants degrade slowly under microbial conditions and a high percentage pass through standard sewage treatment unchanged (OECD 301 biodegradability data)

We Spent 30+ Years Cleaning Up Contamination. Then We Checked Under the Sink. Nous avons passé 30+ ans à décontaminer des sites. Puis nous avons regardé sous l'évier.
Diana Trasente and Angelo Diadelfo are environmental engineers with Master's degrees and over 30 years remediating contaminated soil and water across Canada. They know industrial chemicals intimately — PCBs, heavy metals, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents. Diana Trasente et Angelo Diadelfo sont des ingénieurs en environnement avec des maîtrises et plus de 30 ans d'expérience en décontamination de sols et d'eau au Canada.
Then they started reading the labels on their own household cleaners. The same classes of synthetic chemicals they spent their careers cleaning up were sitting in their kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Puis ils ont commencé à lire les étiquettes des nettoyants ménagers chez eux. Les mêmes classes de produits chimiques qu'ils passaient leur carrière à nettoyer se trouvaient dans leur cuisine, salle de bain et buanderie.
In 2010, they founded Sampson Eco Shop — applying the same scientific rigor to household cleaners that they applied to environmental remediation. Every product starts with one question: What's actually in here, and is it safe to put down a drain? En 2010, ils ont fondé Sampson Eco Shop — appliquant la même rigueur scientifique aux nettoyants ménagers qu'à la décontamination. Chaque produit commence par une question: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et est-ce sécuritaire de l'envoyer dans un drain?
“Every cleaner we make starts with the same question we'd ask on a contamination site: what's actually in here, and what happens when it goes down the drain?” “Chaque nettoyant qu'on fabrique commence par la même question qu'on poserait sur un site contaminé: qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et qu'est-ce qui se passe quand ça va dans le drain?”— Diana Trasente, M.Eng. — Diana Trasente, M.Ing.
The Method
Cleans With Surfactants and Acid, Not Oil.
Coconut-derived surfactants and citric acid, paired and balanced by Diana and Angelo Diadelfo, M.Eng. — environmental engineers since 2010.
Surfactants lift the soil off the steel
Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauramine Oxide, and a coconut-derived foam booster (AMIDET N) — all coconut-derived — surround the fingerprint oils, kitchen splatter, and light grease and break their grip on the surface.
Citric acid dissolves the water spots
The white mineral haze around a sink or on an appliance is hard-water deposit, not grease. Citric acid dissolves those minerals so they rinse away instead of being polished over.
Bio-ethanol carries it off and evaporates
A small amount of plant-based ethanol speeds drying and lifts the loosened soil into the cloth. It evaporates fully — no solvent carrier, no streak-forming film left on the steel.
Bare steel — so the next print wipes off
Because nothing oily is left behind, the next fingerprint sits on bare metal instead of being trapped in a polish film. It wipes off with a dry cloth rather than building up.

Format Matters
Three stainless cleaners, three very different labels
Whether a stainless cleaner actually cleans or just oils over the problem comes down to the chemistry behind it. Here is the comparison, ingredient by ingredient.
| Sampson Eco Stainless Steel Cleaner | Conventional oil-based stainless polish | "Eco" / greenwashed stainless wipe | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Named ingredients on label | 7, all disclosed | Often undisclosed "oils" plus fragrance | Partial disclosure typical |
| Shine mechanism | None added — cleans steel, leaves it bare | Mineral or silicone oil film | Often still oil-based |
| Re-attracts fingerprints | No oil film, so prints wipe off | Yes — oil film holds new prints | Often yes |
| Removes hard-water marks | Yes — citric acid dissolves minerals | No — buffs oil over them | Rarely |
| Surfactant origin | Coconut-derived (plant) | Petroleum-derived | Mixed |
| VOC content | None — water-based, bio-ethanol only | Variable, often high (solvent carriers) | Sometimes disclosed |
| Scent | Ships unscented; add from 20+ natural essential oils | Synthetic — phthalate carrier likely | Single "natural" scent, source rarely disclosed |
| Biodegradable to OECD 301D | Yes (disclosed on label) | No | Sometimes claimed |
The format is the difference. Same plant chemistry, same engineering rigor — without the bottle, the water weight, or the synthetic add-ons.
