We all want Green, safe, natural cleaning products that are family and pet friendly.
The President’s Cancer Panel recently released 200-page report confirming what most consumers already knew or suspected – a link between chemical exposure and cancer.
People are exposed to these toxins on a daily basis with one of the primary culprits being household cleaning products. There are more than 80,000 chemicals in use yet only about 300 of them have actually been tested for safety.
Major manufacturers spend billions of dollars advertising their products yet spend little to develop safer alternatives.
Why do consumers continue to use these dangerous products? There are a number of reasons. They have been conditioned by a lifetime of advertising to become loyal to certain brands despite the risks. They may be aware that safer cleaning alternatives are available but have the mistaken belief that these products are more expensive or less effective – that is simply not so. One of the main reasons is that consumers are creatures of habit and are reluctant to try new products or different ways of shopping.
What if you could have naturally derived cleaning products that were so safe that they didn’t require child-proof caps or dire warning labels? What if they were actually more effective than the brands you have been using for years? What if they were manufactured by a twenty-five year old company that was green long before it became fashionable? Even though you might be willing to pay more for highly effective products that were safe – what if they actually cost less than what you are currently using? You can!
