- What it does
- Feel & finish
- Our take
- EDTA resists biodegradation, persists in waterways, and remobilizes heavy metals from sediment once it gets there. We carried two cleaning products with tetrasodium EDTA and delisted both in September 2026, since the alternatives already in our catalog do the same job with citrate.
- Instead try
- Sodium phytate and sodium citrate, both used throughout our own line.
