Happy Earth Day!People talk so much these days about going “green.” They look for ways to do more with less, preserve natural resources, and reduce dependence on petrochemical-based products. If you have had any experience with green cleaning products, you know that you can pay a premium price for a product that doesn’t work as well as the conventional product.
Sometimes, even if the green cleaning product works, it might not be so green after all. I know I am not the only one who has picked up a bottle of one of the major brands of “green” all-purpose cleaners (you know, the generation), thinking I am using the best cleaner with the least minimal impact and ingredients. But have you ever actually read the list of ingredients on these cleaners?
Here are the ingredients in one all-purpose cleaner:
I compared it to the list of ingredients in the EnviroRite Multi-Purpose Cleaner. What a difference! The Multi-Purpose Cleaner only has 4 
ingredients listed. I can pronounce all of them. How do water, palm kernel-based surfactants, and vegetable-based glycerine sound for simple? There are no preservatives, and the last ingredient has the most complicated name, “naturally derived alkaline builders,” that adjust the pH.
This Earth Day, keep it simple, truly green, and clean! Use green cleaning products!
