We've gone Green!

We decided to begin using non-toxic, environmentally friendly cleaning products.  With all the information regarding the toxins in cleaning products and their impact on our health, air quality and environment (see below), we decided to make it our goal to provide you with a clean home, but also a healthy living environment for you and your family.

Look around your home and you are likely to find between 3 and 25 gallons of toxic substances.  Most of those toxins are found in household cleaners.  Many of these substances are known for the unhealthy fumes they give off which irritate the eyes, nose and lungs.   The most disturbing fact is that many of the dangers of these toxins are hidden. 

Of course, toxins are biodegradable but many toxic household cleaners do not degrade very quickly.  Children or adults who touch household surfaces and floors then put their hands in their mouths, eat food directly from a counter, or put household objects in their hands risk ingesting small amounts of harmful chemicals.  The fumes from toxic cleaning fluids play a major role in indoor air pollution.  The EPA estimates that the air inside your home can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air just outside your window.

Toxins in your home affect your community. The manufacturing process for these chemicals can be a significant source of air and water pollution, contribute to global warming, or endanger the health of others that must come in contact with these substances in order to bring these products to market.

Purchase from responsible manufacturers.  Choose products free of ammonia, phosphates and chlorine, which poison not only your home, but our waterways and fish.  By safeguarding the environment, you can make a huge impact in pollution.

It is estimated that if every family in America replaced one roll of 180 count fiber paper towels with 100% recycled paper towels, we’d save 3.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, avoid 89,400 pounds of pollution and save 1.4 million trees.   

If every family in the US replaced one 32oz bottle of petroleum-based cleaner with an equally effective plant-based cleaner, we'd save 6,800 barrels of oil.

Do your products really clean as well as other cleaners?  Yes. The days are long past when highly toxic petrochemical ingredients were the only alternatives for effective cleaning. Our products contain naturally derived ingredients such as tea tree oil, citrus solvents, herbal antiseptics and natural enzymes.
