Happy Earth Day!People talk so much these days about going “green”. They look for ways to do more with less, to preserve natural resources, and cut 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 so 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 that 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 is the ingredients in one all purpose cleaner:
Aqua (water), lauryl polyglucose, decyl glucoside and lauramine oxide (plant-derived cleaning agents), sodium gluconate (water softener), sodium carbonate (mineral-derived alkalinity builder), methylisothiazolinone and benzisothiazolinone (preservatives).
I compared it to the list of ingredients in EnviroRite Multi Purpose Cleaner. What a difference! The Multi Purpose Cleaner only has 4 
ingredients listed. I can pronounce all of them. How does, water, palm kernel based surfactants, and vegetable-based glycerine sound for simple? 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, keep it truly green, and keep it clean! Use green cleaning products that are actually green!
