Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We’re here to help

Are Osh products natural?

Yes, all our products are 99% naturally present and plant-derived.
The remaining 1 % is mineral colourant and preservative for the product to be stable.

What do you mean by 'plant derived'?

Almost all the ingredients used in our products are derived from plants. For example, surfactants are derived from coconut plants, and glycerin is derived from vegetable oils. Carboxymethyl inulin is derived from chicory.

Will such products be effective?

Yes, all our products are evaluated for efficacy from the external laboratory.

What are the harmful effects of chemical home cleaners?

Chemical-based home cleaners release dangerous chemicals as they are made up of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and also other harmful ingredients like ammonia, chlorine, and surfactants. For example, ammonia and chlorine release fumes, which in turn could affect the respiratory system and can also cause irritation to the eyes and throat. Even natural fragrances such as citrus can react to produce dangerous pollutants indoors.

What is special about Osh?

We at Osh produce products using natural and plant-derived ingredients. Our products are free from harmful chemicals such as sulphates, phosphates, phthalates, ammonia, chlorine, synthetic dyes, and so on and all our products contain allergen-free IFRA-certified fragrances. We are also PETA certified, vegan and cruelty-free.

What do you mean by Plastic Negative? How do you track it?

Plastic Negative means we recycle twice the plastic we use for the brand (bottles and any plastic that we use for shipping). We do it ethically and sustainably with a well-renowned NPO Sahaas.

Why the brand name Osh? What does Osh mean?

Osh in Sanskrit means “Dewdrop”. In Hindi, it is spelled as “Oshe”.

Can I use the Laundry Detergent for handwashing clothes in a bucket?

Our product is ideally designed for Machine Wash (both Front Load and Top Load). It will not produce enough foam for effective bucket wash.

Can i use the dishwash liquid in the dishwasher machine?

No, this product is not designed to be used in Dishwasher machines.

What do you mean by 'save water' as you have claimed in the dishwash liquid?

Osh Dishwash Liquid produces less foam as compared to leading chemical brands but works as effectively as the leading brand when tested in external laboratories. Hence it saves water as it requires less water to rinse the foam.

Can Osh floor cleaner be used for wooden flooring?

Our product is water-based, so wring the mop out as much as you can, to the point where it feels only damp. Mop the floor but remember to be extra careful to prevent any standing water.
