Why The Need to Use Clorox at Home?

Green cleaning products are finding favor with mainstream American consumers who are actively seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Perhaps it was Al Gore’s activism and films that inspired a generation of people to wake up. Or maybe it was a general disdain for being dependent on foreign oil and helplessly watching fuel prices skyrocket. Whatever the reason, green cleaning products are growing in numbers. Even the top offender Clorox is on board with a new Green Works line of cleaning products. The most popular of the 95-99% natural, sustainable and biodegradable products is the Clorox Green Works Natural Glass and Surface Cleaner.

Passionate buyers of Clorox Green Works Natural Glass and Surface Cleaner say that they feel this product works great and removes streaks on items like china cabinets that other industrial-grade products failed to de-streak. Many consumers admit they had little faith in “green” cleaning products prior to buying this line, but they were pleasantly surprised. Most people are aware that there are still a few ingredients that could be improved in the formula to be more eco-friendly, although this is a big step for consumers who are used to cleaning with toxic mainstream household products. The move toward a greener formula is a big one for Clorox, a company that is expected to go even greener in the near future.

Of course, not all consumers are wholly satisfied with the Clorox Green Works Natural Glass and Surface Cleaner. One reviewer on the Clorox website reported, “I’m surprised that people thought that this was streak free. I’ve washed my windows three or four times now trying to get the streaks off.” A similar report was published at the Associated Content website, where a reviewer mentioned that she “wiped that mirror about 50 times and there were still some small streaks left behind on the glass, no matter what,” which she surmised was due to the coconut-based cleaning agent. A consumer at www.ecohuddle.com said that she preferred the Seventh Generation products and didn’t like that it “foamed up when sprayed on glass,” which had her scrubbing to get the glass clean. Lastly, there are some concerns that the Clorox products aren’t 100% environmentally sound, with a few questionable ingredients. Critics suggest that, while better than petroleum-derived products, their coconut-derived and corn-oil-derived ingredients may still be responsible for rainforest habitat destruction.

“It’s great to see a major company like Clorox take the initiative on creating a product line that is safer, biodegradable and effective,” says Loren LaVoy, President of Green Clean LLC, a green cleaning crew. Perhaps over time, products like Clorox Green Works Natural Glass and Surface Cleaner will inspire other major manufacturers to make the switch to more environmentally-friendly ingredients, packaging and production practices. The more companies that hop on board with this, the more sustainable our Earth will be and the more we’ll be able to reduce our carbon footprint for generations to come.
