What’s Inside of SC Johnson’s products no longer a mystery

What's inside some of our favorite cleaning products no longer the mystery it used to be

What's inside some of our favorite cleaning products no longer the mystery it used to be

Looking for the ingredients in your cleaning products may now be much easier  thanks to the folks at SC Johnson & Co.  Nine months ago the company, who’s brand portfolio includes Nature’s Source, Windex, Scrubbing Bubbles, Drano, Fantastik, Glade, Pledge, Shout and many more, launched a website to host the ingredient list for all of its products. This type of website and this type of transparency is the first of its kind in an industry that has come under much flack recently for products containing potentially harmful chemicals.

To date, there are over 200 products listed on the site, WhatsInsideSCJohnson.com,  including 126 air care products and 76 home cleaning products manufactured by SC Johnson. Additionally, there are explanations of all 169 ingredients found in these products.  You can search for the product lists by name or by use, making finding which ever product you are looking for a breeze.

Kudos to SC Johnson for their innovative and groundbreaking efforts in encouraging product transparency and for letting the public know what you’re made of. We hope other major manufacturers will soon follow suite!

Where Can I Buy Camay Soap?

Where can i buy camay soapSince its launch in 1926, Camay Soap has gained a significant market share of the bar soap segment. However recently, Camay Soap Bars (in both pink and white) have become increasingly difficult to find in stores.  If you are one of the diehard Camay Soap users urgently looking for your beloved perfumed soap bars, look no further.

CleaningProductsWorld.com
has a FULL supply of this beloved product that ships from 36 warehouses across the US daily. And with FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $50, if you order two cases, your entire order ships FREE

History of Camay
Camay Soap was launched in 1926 after a market research study conducted by Proctor & Gamble revealed there was a high market potential  for a “Perfumed Soaps”. Camay was soon launched to fill this void in the soap industry. As the first to market, Camay gained a vast following of loyal customers and the launch proved to be a  wise decision for P&G.  Today, the brand is still loved by many, but is stocked in fewer places.

Best Food Storage Containers

Best Food Storage ContainersIf you work in the foodservice industry or have ever entertained guests you have probably wondered what the best Food Storage Containers are. We all want a good quality container that is space efficient, dishwasher safe, seals in the foods’ freshness, and is a reasonable price in case a relative or employee forgets to return it.

From our personal experience, we highly recommend Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers as the most practical, best quality, and most cost effective option.

For restaurants and caters, we recommend using the square version Rubbermaid containers due to their extremely efficient use of space – they store up to 25% more than round containers. (In homes we have found the tall height of these containers may not be the most practical; in which case we recommend the round Rubbermaid version).

Another reason we love these containers is their material – they are made of a clear, polycarbonate material. This makes these food storage containers break resistant AND allows you to see what’s inside.

Oh and did we mention the measurement graduation lines? In both English and Metric units? Yep, you’ll now exactly how much and what’s inside without ever opening the container.

So to recap – we recommend Rubbermaid square containers as the Best Food Storage Container. We hope this makes your holiday entertaining go a little easier this year!

How to reduce germ spreading at holiday events

family dinnerWith Thanksgiving only three weeks away and the flu season in full force, you may want to reconsider how you usually serve, cater, or eat at holiday events.  We are more susceptible at the holidays than any other time of the year to spread harmful viruses and bacteria since we are generally indoors in large crowds, we tend to eat/drink more at the holidays while sleeping less (reducing the effectiveness of our immune systems), and we travel more, increasing the chance of bringing more germs back home with us.

While I know many of us already take extra care to reduce the spread of germs at our gatherings, keeping our families and friends as healthy as possible, coupled with the added risk this year thanks to the H1N1 virus, these extra precautions may be necessary and are worth the extra effort for our safety.

Individual serving sizes are essential
Think about how many double dippers there are in your family – do you (or your guests) really want to be dipping into the same vegetable dip as these culprits?  Whenever it is possible, put your offerings up as individual servings. For example, if you are serving any type of dip, try placing it into paper or plastic soufflé cups first. That way, Uncle Frank can double dip as much as he wants, without putting the other guests at risks. Serving a fruit & cheese platter? Place toothpicks into ever piece of cheese & fruit, that way, no will be tempted to use their fingers.

Hold a drink in your right hand

Its no secret that the more hands you shake, the more germs you are spreading. Since it’s not always possible to pull out your instant hand sanitizer after shaking someone’s hand, another blogger recently suggested always carry a drink (Water is always a good choice) in your right hand. This way, you won’t offend someone by not shaking his or her hand, while your hands will stay germ free.

Little reminders go a long way
We all know good hygiene practices, but sometimes we (especially our children) need a little extra reminder of good table manners. At any non-black tie affair, it would not be inappropriate to include a line in your toast or speech reminding everyone to please use caution while self-serving so everyone stays healthy during the holidays. If you are afraid you might offend some guests, simple place friendly reminders about the flu epidemic on tent cards on the buffet or throughout your home (Don’t place them on the dinner table though – no one wants to look at flu reminders while they are eating).

I hope these hints help make your holidays more enjoyable for you and your loved ones. From the CleaningProductsWorld.com family to yours, we wish you a happy, healthy, safe, and enjoyable holiday season.
