I would like to post this warning about Simple Green: "Greenwashing
ReplyDeleteCleaners labeled “safe,” “non-toxic” and “green” can contain hazardous ingredients. There should be a law against bogus claims, but there isn’t. Some companies are willing to bend the truth –because they can.
Worst offenders:
Simple Green Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner. It’s labeled “non-toxic” and
“biodegradable.” It contains:
• 2-butoxyethanol, a solvent absorbed through the skin that damages red
blood cells and irritates eyes;
• A secret blend of alcohol ethoxylate surfactants. Some members of this
chemical family are banned in the European Union.
Worse, the company website instructs the user to dilute the product signifi cantly
for even the heaviest cleaning tasks. Yet it comes in a spray bottle that implies it
should be sprayed full-strength. Such use would result in higher exposures."
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/
Otherwise, I wholly support the work of the Pixie Project!
