Green Works II

Greenworks

I was at the store earlier, so I decided to look at the Green Works brand versus typical cleaners.  As you can see in the picture, the Green Works cleaner costs $2.99 a bottle, while "409" (also made by Clorox) costs $2.29.  I don't know if this price differential is based on higher costs for the Green Works product, or if they are just trying to charge a premium for a health-conscious product.

I looked on the back of the "409" bottle, and it had listed: "Precautionary statement: Harmful to humans and animals".  So they are telling you right on the label that the product is probably toxic.  For me, I'd rather spend the extra 70 cents for a healthier product.

I have actually emailed Clorox to ask them why they sell both a toxic and non-toxic line of cleaners.  It wil be interesting to see if or what type of response I'll receive.
