What Customers Say After the Switch
From greenwash-burned shoppers to allergy households — here's what changed when they swapped in Sampson.
Tried three different 'eco' all-purpose sprays from the drugstore aisle. None stayed in the rotation. This one did — kitchen counters and bathroom fixtures, same bottle.
Read the ingredient list before buying because I have eczema. Recognized everything. Three months in, no flare-ups.
Works on the painted walls in my kid's room (crayon, fingerprints). Wish there was a refill closer to home — Bromont is the nearest stockist.
Concentrate that's actually concentrated — not 'eco' code for diluted.
The first bottle most greenwash-burned buyers try
"Plant-based" + "biodegradable" don't mean what you think they mean.
Health Canada doesn't regulate the words "natural" or "eco" on cleaning products.
Most "green" all-purpose sprays leave their full ingredient list off the label, hide phthalates under "fragrance," and use petroleum surfactants relabeled as "plant-derived." Sampson Eco All-Purpose Spray is a coconut-derived surfactant system, water-based, phosphate-free, VOC-free — full ingredient list on the bottle, OECD 301D biodegradability disclosed.
Indoor VOCs 2–5× higher indoors during cleaning (EPA TEAM)
~100% of Americans tested have detectable phthalates — common source: cleaning-product fragrance (EWG)
~60% of household surfactants end up in aquatic environments globally (Arora 2022)

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
How Sampson Eco All-Purpose Spray Cleans Without the Carrier.
Four steps. Coconut-derived surfactant system, water-based, phosphate-free, VOC-free — full ingredient list on the bottle.
Multi-soil wetting
Drops surface tension across kitchen grease, bathroom soap scum, fingerprint residue, dust film — so the spray penetrates instead of beading off.
Alkali cleaning + chelation
Lifts cooked-on, baked-on, and tracked-in soils, with chelation that keeps hard-water minerals from interfering with the cleaning. Modern biodegradable chelator — not EDTA.
Foam control + emulsification
Holds emulsified soil in suspension long enough to wipe away cleanly, without over-sudsing on countertops.
Rinse on food-contact, otherwise wipe-and-go
Surfactants break down in wastewater treatment instead of off-gassing or persisting in the watershed. Rinse food-contact surfaces with water; no rinse required elsewhere.

Format Matters
How Eco All-Purpose Compares to What's On The Shelf
"Plant-based" and "biodegradable" don't mean what you think on a cleaner label. Here's the chemistry that does.
| Sampson Eco APC | Conventional drugstore all-purpose | "Eco" / greenwashed all-purpose | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ingredient list on label | Yes | No (regulatory minimum only) | Often partial |
| Phthalate-free (no synthetic fragrance carrier) | Yes | No (hidden under "fragrance") | Often still hidden |
| Scent | Ships unscented; choose from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances | Single proprietary fragrance — phthalate carrier likely | Single "natural" scent, source rarely disclosed |
| VOC content | None — water-based | Variable, often 60%+ in spray | Sometimes disclosed |
| Surfactant origin | Plant-derived (coconut) | Petroleum-derived | "Plant-derived" claim, rarely sourced |
| Phosphates | None | ≤0.5% cap | Usually none |
| Engineered by environmental engineers | Yes (Diana + Angelo Diadelfo, M.Eng.) | No | No |
The format is the difference. Same plant chemistry, same engineering rigor — without the bottle, the water weight, or the synthetic add-ons.
