There should be a law against bogus claims, but there isn’t. Some companies are willing to bend the truth –because they can.<br />Worst offenders:<br />Simple Green Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner. It’s labeled “non-toxic” and<br />“biodegradable.” It contains:<br />• 2-butoxyethanol, a solvent absorbed through the skin that damages red<br />blood cells and irritates eyes;<br />• A secret blend of alcohol ethoxylate surfactants. Some members of this<br />chemical family are banned in the European Union.<br />Worse, the company website instructs the user to dilute the product signifi cantly<br />for even the heaviest cleaning tasks. Yet it comes in a spray bottle that implies it<br />should be sprayed full-strength. Such use would result in higher exposures."<br />I found this in a pdf called "Cleaners Hall of Shame", a link to it is on this site: http://www.doyourpart.com/eco-news/household-cleaners-hall-of-shame/<br />Otherwise, I wholly support the work of the Pixie Project!<br /><br />leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913017362578005039noreply@blogger.com
