Why did we choose these products?
- The EPA has documented that indoor air carries a higher risk for personal exposure to toxic chemicals than outdoor; partly due to toxic cleaning products we touch and inhale. http://www.epa.gov
- Disposal of hazardous household products is becoming an increasingly expensive problem for many municipalities, as they try to avoid contamination of local water and air.
- The VOC’s and POP’s found in many chemical cleaners are… simply put… endangering our earth!
- All our purchased products are rated “A” with the EWG. The EWG is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment and safety rates most cleaners and sanitizers on the market today.
