Green Works

A Safer Cleaner for Every Day

            Cleaning can be such a chore. It is even worse because of the strong smells of cleaners you use. No need to fear, Green Works is here. Green Works is a line of cleaners designed by the Green team at Clorox. Their goal is to have a safer cleaner that doesn’t leave behind residue, and harmful chemicals.

            Green Works is accepted by Natural Products Association (NPA), Sierra Club, and Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) design for the environment program. With EPA, their goal is to enhance green chemistry, and protect the environment and the population. Green Works follows the guidelines put out by the NPA. These guidelines include using natural ingredients (using at least 95% natural ingredients), being responsible by not testing on animals, using safer chemistry (not using banned ingredients), and making a sustainable product (the use of biodegradable ingredients, and using an environmentally sustainable package).

            Green Works comes from plant and mineral ingredients. These ingredients are 95% to 99% natural. The ingredients include alkyl polyglucoside (coconut base), colorant (used in very small amounts), ethanol (corn based alcohol), fragrance with essential oils (extracted from plants), potassium carbonate (mineral based), potassium citrate (Plant based buffer), and a preservative (less than 0.5%). The other 1% to 5% ingredients are still unknown. The Green team at Green Works is striving to make a product that is 100% natural by finding natural ingredients for fragrances and preservatives.

            Now cleaning might not be such a chore. You don’t have to worry about the dangerous smells of different chemicals. Green Works all-purpose cleaner is a better product to use. Not only does it clean well, it protects the environment by using natural and renewable feedstock and is sustainable too. Green Works is a great product that has led the way towards a green environment.
