Every once in a while, CleaningProductsWorld.com will ask an employee, friend or customer to share what products they have in their household. We are starting with Jessica, our E-Commerce Project Manager. Jessica is 23 years old & lives in a small apartment. Below are her responses.

1. Lysol Disinfectant Spray- Crisp Linen Scent. I use Lysol all the time. I hate getting sick so I am constantly spraying my kitchen, bathroom, garbage cans, bed, couch, carpets, you name it!  I love the Crisp Linen scent because it smells like fresh laundry and is very light- some disinfectant sprays have too heavy of a scent for my taste.

2.Seventh Generation All Purpose Cleaner – I am jumping on the environmentally friendly bandwagon and really happy with my choice. I was nervous these products wouldn’t clean as well as regular, non-eco-friendly ones but love this Seventh Generation cleaner. I use it all over the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas, and it’s safer for my dog when he licks the food off the floor!

3. Windex Glass Cleaner - There is no better glass cleaner out there and I also use it on my stove and TV. 

4. Glad ForceFlex Bags. These bags are my favorite because they are so strong and flexible. I have filled these bags with boxes and broken glass and they still haven’t ripped. This is great for me because I have to carry my garbage down 4 flights of stairs and outside to a dumpster so I definitely need a durable garbage bag. 

5. Kleenex Premiere Paper Towels - Most people prefer Bounty but I find these Kleenex paper towels just as good and very soft. I also use Kleenex tissues and Kleenex toilet paper so I try to be loyal with one brand.

6. Kleenex Cottonelle Toilet Paper. This toilet paper is so soft and lasts forever so I barely ever have to replace the roll. Also, the puppy in the commercial is the cutest! How can you resist it?

Today it seems like “green” is everywhere. From the car ads on tv, to the organic produce at your grocery store, everyone is focused on being more environmentally friendly. But what does it really mean? 

Until recently, there was no government agency to regulate the “green” claims in cleaning products. The result equaled a rash of products claiming to be environmentally friendly, but no real proof that they were. For example, lead products were being labeled “natural” since lead technically is a natural substance, but as we all know, large exposure to lead can be deadly! Thankfully, the EPA has decided to combat this problem by creating at “Design for Environment” or “DfE” label. This label is a guarantee that the product truly is safer for use and better for the environment. The Dfe label looks closely at each ingredient in a product, making sure it really is safe for the environment and your family. The DfE label also means that the product is the best in it’s class- meaning that it is the safest and most eco-friendly product in its line. Below are the links to the DfE lists of cleaning products.
