Naturally Clean; Clean Naturally

When it comes to cleaning—your home, your clothes …you have many choices. Should you choose products that are made from natural ingredients? Even if you don’t have a well for your drinking water or a septic tank for waste, what gets poured or sprayed into your living environment and your clothes, eventually goes out into the environment in some way at some point. If the product cleans or softens to your satisfaction why wouldn’t you use it?






At Seventh Generation, they say: “We know your home is your world.. . For the past 20 years, it’s been our mission to help you protect your world with our naturally safe and effective household products.” And they make and sell what they advocate.

For example the Natural All Purpose Cleaner is non-toxic & biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, does not create harsh fumes, is not tested on animals, and is even Kosher-certified. And with ingredients including essential oils and botanical extracts* (citrus reticulata (green mandarin), mentha spicata (spearmint), citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain), citrus aurantium bigarade , it smells absolutely wonderful. And those plant-based ingredients are not there just for the olfactory effect, they provide real cleaning muscle, along with the other biodegradable ingredients.
Other great-performing and wonderful smelling cleaning products include: Blue Eucalyptus and Lavender or White Flower and Bergamot Citrus Laundry Liquid Concentrate, Wild Orange and Cedar Spice Kitchen Cleaner, Lavender Floral and Mint Dishwashing Liquid, Emerald Cypress and Fir Tub and Tile Cleaner. There are also Automatic Dishwasher detergent packs that work very well. When you use these products you will not only cleaning up, you will be cleaning with a conscience, with the welcome bonus of fresh fragrance.

As of this writing, Seventh Generation has saved more than 365,000 trees and 999,000 gallons of petroleum. As their motto says:

           "In our every deliberation, we must consider the
            impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”

Environmentally Conscious Cleaning

Keeping clean doesn’t have to mean multiple bottles of mostly water coming into your home full and leaving empty each week. With Arm & Hammer Essentials Refillable Cleaners you buy the bottle once and then purchase small refills when the spray bottle runs out. There are three types of spray cleaners:-- Multi Surface, Glass, Cleaner & Degreaser.

The cleaners combine powerful plant-based and other biodegradable cleaners and environmentally sound packaging to help us develop cleaner, greener cleaning habits. And they do the job.

First you buy an ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ Cleaners Starter Kit, which contains an empty trigger spray bottle and one cartridge of concentrated cleaners. You fill the spray bottle with tap water and add the concentrate to the bottle. When you run out of cleaner, you buy refill cartridges—not a new bottle. The bottle can be used at least seven times before it can be recycled.

It’s a way to save money and the environment. You will be helping to cut down on landfill waste because the refill 2-pack uses 93 percent less plastic and 80 percent less packaging than standard, pre-filled 32 oz. cleaners.

And those little power-packed cartridges are easy to carry and use. Who needs heavy bottles that, honestly, contain mostly water anyway? Get the concentrate and fill them up at home.
