It’s said that cleaning products are one of the biggest contributors towards indoor pollution and it’s no wonder why.  For anyone who has put a child~safety latch on lower cabinets containing cleaning products or who has experienced dizziness after ridding the shower with scum and inhaling all those fumes…it’s no secret the majority of cleaning products are not good for our health. 

Yesterday, as I was pushing my cart along the aisles of my local home improvement store, I stumbled upon Greenology cleaning products at the end of the aisle.  They probably wouldn’t have caught my eye if I hadn’t seen the black and white USDA certified organic seal glaring at me.  So I stopped dead in my tracks and surveyed the display and did what I always do ~ picked each bottle up and sniffed.  Was I dreaming?  Was Lowe’s actually featuring a clean and green line of cleaning products on an end cap display?!?  And was I really seeing the first line of USDA certified organic cleaning products that I had ever seen in a major chain, instead of my local health food store?!?  And could these really and truly be available to the masses for less than four bucks a bottle?!?  Yes.  Yes.  And Yes! 

Knowing that my cabinets were already quite full with non~toxic, eco~friendly household cleaning supplies, I decided to get a whiff and make a mental note that I would be back when my current supplies ran out.  They have a slight vinegar aroma, and reminds me of the household all~purpose cleaner that I’ve mixed in my own kitchen and I know that the vinegar smell dissipates.  With the USDA Certified Organic seal, I’m assured that at least 95% of the product is made from certified organic ingredients. 

In addition to All~Purpose Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, Kitchen Cleaner and Bathroom Cleaner, Greenology also offers biodegradable surface wipes that also bear the USDA certified organic seal of approval.  Unlike most surface wipes that are ammonia based, these wipes are people, pet and planet friendly.  Their patented antimicrobial cleansing agents kill odor causing bacteria and prevent the growth of odor causing bacteria. 

Have you seen these at your local stores or tried them out yet???  If so, I’d like to hear what your experience with them has been!
