Going
green with safe and effective cleaners
(source:AboutCleaningProducts.com) The good news is that environmental groups, state legislators, the EPA, and the cleaning products industry are all working together to improve the products that you use every day. Although Green Cleaning has only been fashionable for the last decade or so, we have been working on developing more environmentally-sound cleaning products for more than 50 years. The cleaning products industry has understood the importance of biodegradable cleaning products since the 1950s. In the 1970s, the industry removed all CFCs from aerosols. |

In the 1990s, products became more concentrated (“ultras”) which reduced packaging. Cleaning products have been getting “greener” through innovation and continuous improvement – long before the “green” movement was even around!
Today, “green” products are lining store shelves, and the Internet is abuzz with tips for green living and step-by-step instructions for making your own “earth-friendly” household cleaning products. But does homemade always mean “green”? Is green always safer? The amount of information out there can be overwhelming. |

Green
Cleaning is the commitment to make, use, and dispose of cleaners with people
and the environment in mind. You are making your world a little greener
when you use a cleaning product that is safe and effective, and you follow
all product instructions and dispose of the product properly. But green must
also mean “effective.” A cleaning product that does not clean well is
not good for the environment. Producing
and packaging a useless cleaning product is a waste of time and energy, which
is very “un-green.” |
