For the Love of Laundry

Many people actually enjoy doing laundry (no, seriously) because of the joy clean smelling garments can bring. Yet once you become aware of how toxic most commercial products are to the environment…and your personal health, your love affair with might be sullied.

We’d like to introduce you to Greening the Cleaning’s laundry detergent. Warning: you may get hooked. GTC’s entire line-–which includes a glass and window cleaner, an all-purpose spray cleaner and a dish soap-–is formulated using only naturally-derived ingredients. GTC was created by Deirdre Imus (wife of radio personality Don Imus) when she learned of the damaging health effects attributed to many traditional cleaning products.

The GTC line, all of which is scented with fragrant citrus and sage essential oils, is made using only water and a biodegradable surfactant. And it’s a great deal: for $19.95 you can order a GTC Variety Pack, which contains full-size bottles of all four of the company’s products, allowing you to revamp your whole cleaning routine in one fell swoop.

To make the deal even sweeter, 100 percent of the profits go to the Imus Ranch for Kids with Cancer, the non-profit working cattle ranch that hosts sick children and their families each year. Now you can clean your clothes and your conscience.

I really, really want to try this product. It’s wonderful that a portion of the proceeds are going to help kids with cancer. However I have such a negative visceral reaction to the “shock-jock” Imus name that I’m not sure I’m willing to support the product. How does one reconcile supporting a bigot and a greener environment??
