Environmentally Safe Cleaning Products – The Greener Way To Clean
In the great debate over the effect of chemicals on our children and pets, and also the environment, you may be wondering if it’s time to switch to a safer, more natural cleaning products. And I’m betting that, like the rest of us, you have a few concerns about the cost, effectiveness, and safeness of your home cleaning solution’s greener, more environmentally friendly cousin. Well, look no further, because I’m about to give you the goods on how to wash and wipe your way to ecological greatness.
There are several emerging brands of environmentally friendly cleaning products, but what does “natural” actually mean? As an established green cleaning products brand, Method defines natural in a pretty simple way, as containing 100 percent nature-derived ingredients. Unfortunately, this means that many of the products still contain cleansers and other substances that, while being non-toxic, aren’t entirely worry-free around pets and small children. On the plus side though, these cleaners work almost as well as their chemical counterparts and are often packaged using biodegradable materials.
Some environmentally safe cleaning products that give a big bang in cleanliness while boasting only a few simple naturals and botanicals are Bio-Enviro line of cleansers, Mrs. Meyer’s Surface Scrub, and the old stand-by, powdered Borax. Although a few of these green cleaners require a little extra elbow grease, they have no negative effect on rivers, plants, or wildlife, and contain no artificial fragrances, dyes, phosphorous, or chlorine. Many of them are also biodegradable and maintain a strict no animal testing policy. And the best part: local grocery stores like Wegman’s are now carrying more of these ecologically friendly home cleaning solutions than ever, for less.

BioBag 33 Gallon Lawn and Leaf Bag (Pack of 12) Sale Price: $94.34 |
|
BioBag Lawn & Leaf bags are a full 33 gallon capacity, measuring 32.5 inches wide and 39 inches tall. Our Lawn & Leaf bags are durable and sturdy enough to handle the toughest yard jobs. They even come with a removable tear-strip at the top of each bag for easy tying. Many communities have banned the use of regular plastic bags for yard waste removal, because polyethylene-based plastic bags can not be composted with the yard waste or burned. Until now the alternative has been paper bags. Studies show paper bags are difficult for consumers to use and store, have a limited fill capacity (usually 28 gallons), and do not hold up well in wet weather. Usage testing confirms that consumers significantly prefer BioBag Lawn & Leaf bags to paper bags for the collection of yard waste. They find our 5 bag retail packs easy to carry and store. Consumers like that fact that BioBags "give", allowing more waste to be collected per bag. They also prefer bags made from corn to either bags made from trees or petroleum. |
