Are you searching for green cleaning products that use natural ingredients? Discover how one brand uses good ingredients in their green cleaning products.
A safer and effective solution—Citric Acid—for green cleaning products
If you want to eliminate the appearance of hard water spots and soap scum—and do it cheaply—chlorine bleach is an easy choice. It works exceptionally well and is readily available. But it’s also extremely dangerous. We never use chlorine bleach. So if you want a safer and effective solution, then citric acid is the smarter choice. It is naturally found in citrus fruits like lemons. It’s biodegradable, gentle on the environment, safer, and effective.
Not all plant-derived ingredients are free from harmful effects for use in green cleaning products
Not all plant-derived ingredients are free from having harmful effects on the environment. Palm oil, unless from a sustainable source, can have significant harm to important habitat due to widespread deforestation. In these cases, an organic compound (an ingredient from the ground rather than plants) may be the more responsible, smarter choice. When we do choose to use palm oil, it is only from a certified, renewable, environmentally sustainable source.
Minimizing the amount of an ingredient used in green cleaning products
As of today, there are no effective plant-derived preservatives to keep products fresh, safe, and free of contaminants. If one were available, we would use it. So we tirelessly seek out the safest, most effective solutions that exist for green cleaning products. We select preservatives that allow us to use the tiniest amount possible. Sometimes minimizing the amount of ingredients is the smarter choice. The alternative would be using preservatives known to cause health issues such as formaldehyde or parabens.
Safely and effectively formulating our super-concentrated green cleaning products
We use a very effective biodegradable surfactant, or cleaning agent, called TEA-LAS for many of our green cleaning products. This ingredient is extremely efficient removing stains and oils from clothes. It has a proven track record of safety and because it is highly biodegradable, it doesn’t have a negative impact on the environment. This organic compound allows us to safely and effectively formulate our super-concentrated green cleaning products. Concentration in turn allows us to have a huge impact on the environment by saving plastic, fuel, and greenhouse gases. That makes a real difference and makes it a smarter choice. An alternative ingredient would be decyl glucoside, which is plant derived, but not nearly as effective and doesn’t allow for concentration.
