Our bodies and the environment are under constant bombardment from toxic chemicals. When choosing cleaning supplies, you can make a big difference in your health and in the health of the planet. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Biodegradability - Look for products that readily and fully biodegrade in hours/days vs. months/years.
Sustainable ingredients - Choose products made with renewable resources, not scarce ones
Safety - Demand products that are petroleum-free, ammonia-free, chlorine-free, phosphate-free, alcohol-free, synthetic perfume-free, and dye-free. They work just as well, but are healthier for you and for the environment.
