Non-Toxic Cleaning Products

October 22nd, 2007

One thing I won’t compromise on is cleaners. They have to be non-toxic and biodegradable. There are a lot of people out there who use purer methods for cleaning than I do but I just like a good cleaner that gets the job done without having to use a lot of elbow grease.

What we like?
My favorite household cleaners are made by Bio-Kleen. They are made with live enzymes and grapefruit seed extract.

Bio – Kleen products I’ve used:
Bac-Out. It smells great and works wonders. Concentrated amounts will gets stains out of carpets and you can use a mixture of this in carpet cleaning machines.
All Purpose Cleaner. I use this to clean just about everything from the floor to countertops. It’s exactly what it’s called, an all purpose cleaner.  A little bit goes a long way.
Automatic Dishwasher Detergent. This is another concentrated product and the jug of wash really gives value. My dishes get clean with a cheap dishwasher and their is not icky residue that even some ‘natural’ cleaners leave.
Laundry Soap. It works good but I have others I like better. Some people have reactions to the enzymes in Bio-Kleens laundry soap and our children are some of those who are sensitive to it so we opt for soapnuts.

    Well, have you looked at their ingredients list? I don’t understand how Method is green and non-toxic? Propylene glycol isn’t on my list of safe and non-toxic ingredient, I don’t even want to go into other ingrediens. I use baking soda, vinegar and just baby mild Dr. Bronner soap for all my cleaning and it does pretty good job.

    Thanks for your comment Iena. I understand that Method products aren’t “pure” per se. But they are biodegradable and non-toxic which surpasses the standards of many other popular cleaning brands. For some people, Method cleaners just aren’t good enough but not everyone is going to use vinegar and baking soda for cleaning.

    Method products are available in Target stores which are readily available in almost every area of the U.S. and they can also be found in some local supermarkets. This is an awesome alternative for the people who don’t venture into health food stores or buy products online.
