Clorox has New Green Works Natural Cleaners!! Has anyone used these??
They say: Clean powerfully and naturally, without leaving harsh chemical fumes or residue!! Sounds fabulous ...
They are made from plant and mineral based ingredients ... They are in Recyclable packaging ... They are biodegradable cleaning agents and Eco-friendly: containing plant-derived , biodegradable cleaning agents!!
There is a site online to view more details: www.greenworkscleaners.com
** Just wondering if anyone has used any of the Clorox Green Works products ... Looking for feedback ** I am anxious to try them!!!
They have - toilet bowl cleaner / glass and surface cleaner / an all purpose cleaner ... etc. ...
I did buy the bathroom cleaner - It does have a strong smell to it .. for me - And it cleans like any other cleaner .. I think - Not sure about the other ones though.
I should have checked in here before I went to the grocery store today... I would have looked for that. I wonder how well it will sell because so many green products are overlooked at the stores sometimes they stop making them. :(
I have a really neat tip on cleaning your Coffee Maker!!! I think you guys will enjoy this one!!! I came across it in a little newsletter and it works great!!
When the Coffee Maker is empty ... pour in a mixture of 1 cup of White Vinegar and some hot water to fill up the reservoir to the top. Run the Coffee Maker as if you were making a pot of coffee, but without the grounds, of course ... Once the cycle has finished, run it twice more with just plain water, which will rinse out the vinegar and build-up left inside. Your coffee will taste better the next time you make a cuppa Joe!!! Guaranteed ... :-)
Let's pass our cleaning hints out so, we can all benefit from them and make our planet earth a 'better' place to live!!!
Really, the baking soda works that well? Cool... I'm going to try that today. If inexpensive stuff like baking soda works so well why do people use the smelly and expensive chemical kind??
I think it's all they are used to ... So much advertising for the cleaning agents too!! The more that is talked about and USED within households with the natural SAFE items ... the more all will realize that they have been bringing A LOT of chemicals in their house and around themselves and their family and will switch to safer cleaning agents!!
I hope so, that would be so nice... so I tried the microwave and it worked - it's all clean and it doesn't have any food odor in there anymore either! :)
Microwaves ... Mix 1/2 cup of water with a few teaspoons of Baking Soda in a microwave safe bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave and run it for 2 minutes. Take out the bowl and wipe it clean with just a rag; every last spot will come out!!!! This is fabulous!!
I am not 'totally' sure for your oven ... But I love how this works!!! For your refrigerator ... you must use Baking Soda!!! Why would someone want to spray chemicals in the giant box that holds our food?? Make a nice PASTE from Baking Soda and Water (equal parts of both) and scrub away!!! Wipe it down with a clean cloth and all will be clean!!! It is fantastic ...
Thank you for this information - I am getting ready to move and thank goodness I logged in here today - I cleaned mine this morning and it is sparkling white and clean - No smells - No chemicals - Great tip! I will pass this one on to others!
Does anyone have some good tips on cleaning the oven without using those horrible chemical sprays? I can't stand the smell and the thought of what they are doing to my lungs and the air!
