Green clean-ability
Editor-tested choices BY CYNTHIA LIEDTKE
 he urgent need to care for our health and the environment has increased the
call for non-toxic, earth-respecting, effective household cleaning products.
Eco-conscious brands now have solutions that surprisingly perform to rival chemically-laden counterparts, while eliminating VOCs, synthetic fragrance, dyes, and increasing biodegradability. ‘Green’ leaders fully disclose ingredients on labels and EcoLogo certification differentiates the genuinely green from the ‘greenwashed’. Eco brands model sustainability; they promote responsible consumption from production to disposal; containers, born from recycled materials, return to the recycling bin for their next life, reducing footprints. You can now shop with a confident conscience. Find your favourites. Here are a few of ours.
