The Green Clean that Works
Date: January 14, 2009 | Category: Cleaning, The Home
If “greening your life” was an eco-resolution on your list for 2009, a great first step is to green your cleaning products. Conventional cleaning products contain carcinogens and skin irritants and their run-off contaminates soil, waterways and other ecosystems. But switching to a DIY vinegar and water solution is not always realistic (nor does it always smell that great). And many of us feel attached and nostalgic to the cleaners we grew up with, so that’s why we’re so excited to see a trusted household name with an entire line of eco-friendly products available nearly everywhere that (and this is the key!) works.

Each of their products has been designed to be as ecologically sound as possible from production to packaging. We must warn that their scrubbing sponge tends to separate, so until they fix that problem, you may want to stick to the other basics. (more…)
