Watkins All Natural Cleaning Products

A green cleaning product is something that uses renewable, non-toxic, phosphate-free and biodegradable ingredients. Products that work, but don't create fumes or leave behind residue that may affect the health of your family or impact the environment.

How do "green" cleaners work?

Green cleaners work much the same as traditional toxic cleaners. However, the big difference is that they break down dirt and grease using surfactants from natural renewable resources. So, instead of using ammonia as the active ingredient, Watkins for example uses natural plant extracts. These active ingredients act like magnets pulling dirt up and away from the surface.

What should I be looking for when I want to use "green" cleaning products?

Well your first indication that a cleaning product isn't as natural as it could be is the use of colorants or dyes. When you see a neon pink or purple cleaner this should send up a red flag. You'll want to pay close attention to ingredients, cautionary statements and label warnings. These all may be a good indication that the product isn't as natural as it could be.

How do I know a "green" cleaner is really not going to harm our environment?

According to the Clean Water Fund, a non-profit organization, the average American uses forty pounds of environmentally harmful household cleaners each year. If you multiply that number by 245 million Americans I think you'll agree that the effects are significant!

The two most important claims to look for on green cleaners with regard to the environment are; biodegradable and phosphate free. You'll also want to avoid aerosol cleaners and air fresheners that can deplete the ozone.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the household cleaners that you wash down your drain or throw away? You may already know the answer! They contaminate our groundwater, our soil, and our food sources.

Are you sick and tired of using harsh, toxic chemicals to clean your house? They smell bad, are bad for the environment, and could even harm your family...

Household products are one of the largest contributors of health problems in our homes. Cleaners containing ammonia, chlorine and other chemicals have been known to cause respiratory irritation. In North America, one in three people suffer from allergies, asthma, sinusitis or bronchitis. These statistics are staggering, scientists and physicians have determined that the rise in asthma and allergies in our society is a direct result of household cleaners and the toxins in our environment.

Fortunately, you can do something about it. We can renew our environment and improve our health with one simple commitment. Using natural cleaning products is an easy and effective way to both deodorize and clean your home while keeping your family and our world safe. Your small contribution will make a huge difference. Plus, you'll feel great about your contribution to the environment and your family's health.

I've been putting our lemon all-purpose cleaner to the test and it's performing great! Now I don't normally look for things to clean, if you know what I mean, but I have the last few days so I can see how it works.

Hmm, the outside of the fridge was looking a little worse for wear, with hubby's grubby finger prints, some smudges and drips. A few spays of lemon cleaner and a cloth took care of it. It's sparkling clean again!

The kitchen counters needed a wipe so they got a few sprays which took care of any sticky spots and some grease.

The coffee tables got a few sprays and a wipe too even though they weren't bad but I'm loving the fresh lemon scent so much.

Then I noticed the back door could use a good cleaning as well, more dirty, greasy hand prints from hubby no doubt. Well a few spays and a wipe and the door looks like brand new!

Wonder what else I can find to clean? You can't beat the ease and convenience of a spray and wipe cleaner for all around the house.

If you like the scent of lemons you are gonna love this new all-purpose cleaner, get it here!
