Green Works™ Natural Cleaners
Hello deep clean. Goodbye harsh chemical fumes.
The makers of Clorox® products have bottled the power of nature to create Green Works™, a full line of natural cleaners that work as well as conventional cleaners. Made with 99% natural ingredients like essential lemon oil and coconut based cleaning agents, Green Works™ products do not leave harsh chemical residue or fumes behind after cleaning. So they are safer for your family and better for the planet.
Green Works products are a practical, affordable way to live a greener lifestyle without compromising on cleaning. The products are biodegradable and non-allergenic, are not tested on animals, are packaged in recyclable containers and are available at Wal-Mart’s budget-friendly prices. By contributing to one of the Sierra Club’s primary goals of fostering vibrant, healthy communities with clean water and air that are free from pollution, Green Works and the Sierra Club have created an alliance to be a part of the solution toward working for a cleaner environment.
By using natural ingredients instead of chemical-based cleaning agents, Green Works utilizes renewable resources. If every Wal-Mart shopper bought a bottle of Green Works, we could eliminate the production of over 2.5 million gallons of oil-based chemicals.
Now that’s a powerful cleaner!
Green Works™ Natural Cleaners
YOU x 200 million =
If every Wal-Mart shopper purchased a bottle, we could eliminate the production of 2.5 million gallons of petroleum-based solvents.
To measure the impact of using Green Works natural cleaners instead of regular cleaners, we used a leading all-purpose cleaner as a benchmark and found that 5% of the benchmark formula was comprised of oil-based solvents. In a 32oz bottle of cleaner, that’s 1.6 ounces of oil-based solvents. Multiplied by the power of 200 million Wal-Mart shoppers each buying just one bottle of Green Works equates to 320 million ounces or 2.5 million gallons of oil-based solvents eliminated.
Green Works Natural All Purpose Cleaner has been accepted as a Designed for the Environment (DfE) product by the DfE EPA Program.
EPA allows safer products to carry the Design for the Environment (DfE) label. This mark allows consumers to quickly identify and choose products that can help protect the environment and are safer for families.
When you see the DfE logo on a product it means that the DfE scientific review team has screened each ingredient for potential human health and environmental effects and that—based on currently available information, EPA predictive models, and expert judgment—the product contains only those ingredients that pose the least concern among chemicals in their class.
Product manufacturers who become DfE partners, and earn the right to display the DfE logo on recognized products, have invested heavily in research, development and reformulation, to ensure that their ingredients and finished product line up on the green end of the health and environmental spectrum, while maintaining or improving product performance.
