After throwing out my toxic cleaning products last year, I have experimented with different brands to find suitable replacements. Recently, Green Works products (from Clorox) have entered the marketplace. I bought some the other week to give it a try.
The products seem to work as well as any typical cleaner. And they are available at the local grocery store, so I don't have to make any extra effort to seek them out. They are worth a try in my book.
I've started to wonder how Clorox can maintain their integrity by offering two lines of cleaners: a toxic version and a non-toxic version. Why don't they just quit selling the old line and convert everything to Green Works? Are any customers really going to get upset if they can't purchase their old toxic cleaners? If so, maybe Clorox shouldn't want these people as customers.
Perhaps Clorox is in the process of changing their business model to focus on more environmentally-friendly products, I don't know. It's probably just a matter of time until these chemicals get (rightfully) banned in various places anyhow. In the meantime, Green Works is at least a step in the right direction.
