Q: Where can I find Green Works® products?
A: Look for them in the cleaning aisle at all major stores where cleaning products are sold. Or contact your local cleaning products supplier.
Q: What does natural mean? Are Green Works® products 100% natural?
A: Currently, there is no industry standard definition for natural cleaners. To create Green Works® natural cleaners we set ourselves a very stringent standard. The ingredients must come from renewable resources, be biodegradable and free of petrochemicals. Green Works™ cleaners are at least 99% natural. In certain cases we had to use synthetic ingredients, like the preservative and green colorant. But we're working hard to develop natural alternatives so the entire line can be 100% natural.
Q: Do Green Works™ products disinfect?
A: Not yet. But our scientists are focused on evaluating natural disinfecting ingredients. We hope to incorporate disinfecting into Green Works™ cleaners in the future.
Q: Why are Green Works™ products more expensive than traditional cleaners?
A: The cost of natural ingredients is significantly higher than what is used in traditional cleaners. Green Works™ products cost less than other natural clearers and when you consider they are more natural and work as well as traditional cleaners the premium price is a good value.
Q: Is Clorox merely jumping on the green bandwagon?
A: We've been working on natural products for the past 5 years. In fact, we delayed Green Works™ products from hitting the shelves by 6 months to further perfect the formula. We are fully committed to continuing to develop natural products that continue to set the standard for natural.
Q: What does the Design for the Environment (DfE) logo on Green Works™ cleaners mean?
A: 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. EPA's Design for the Environment Program (DfE) has allowed use of their logo on hundreds of products. These products are formulated from the safest possible ingredients and, in 2007, reduced the use of "chemicals of concern" by 80 million pounds, up from 59 million pounds in 2006.
