Q: Do green cleaning products really work?
A: Yes. Today's green cleaning products are in many ways just as effective and even more so than the mainstream harsher alternatives. Plus, our earth friendly cleaning products smell so pleasant that it can make cleaning seem like less of a chore.
Q: Do green cleaning products help relieve allergies?
A: We have had several customers comment that allergy sufferers notice an immediate difference after using our products. Let's face it; toxins aren't good for anyone, but especially those with breathing difficulties can benefit from our green cleaners. All Green-kits products have a Hazard Rating of "0" or "1" (minimal to slight).
Q: I'm pregnant. Should I switch to green cleaning products for the health of my baby? Will the cleaners be as effective at killing germs?
A: Pregnant women should avoid toxins of any kind. Our cleaning products are completely non-toxic, biodegradable, and earth friendly. There is, however, a difference between "cleaning" and "disinfecting". You should not rely on most green cleaning products to disinfect an area, particularly when the danger of a particular bacteria (such as salmonella) is present.
Q: Is the all-purpose surface cleaner safe to use on my marble countertops and other natural surfaces in my home?
A: Our non-toxic surface cleaners may be used on all types of surfaces, both natural stone - such as marble, limestone, and slate - and manmade surfaces such as Corian, Earthstone, Florenata, Topstone, Silverston, Wilsonart, and concrete. Our cleaners are safe enough for any food prep surface since they are non-toxic, non-acidic, non-abrasive, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
Q: Will you be expanding your product line to include other green cleaning products?
A: We continually research available products to ensure our kits contain the best brand products on the market. If you have any specific recommendations for new cleaning product types that you would like us to consider, please send us an email and let us know.
Q: How do I know if a cleaning product I use is "earth friendly"?
A: If you purchased it on green-kits.com, you can be confident that it is not only earth friendly, but house friendly too. This market is not currently regulated (similar to organic foods several years ago), so you do need to shop with caution and not just choose cleaning products that claim to be "earth friendly" or "green". A good rule of thumb is to choose products that voluntarily print the ingredients on their labels (which they are not required to do) and make sure they only include plant-based and non-toxic ingredients (they never should contain bleach, chlorine, or dyes). All products represented by Green-kits conform to this policy.
Q: How is shopping on green-kits.com different from what you may be used to in a supermarket?
A: Have you ever asked yourself, "Why is there an entire aisle in this store dedicated to laundry detergent?" or "Why are there so many different options when all I want is 'clean'?". Companies know that variety can be a competitive edge, but that variety can confuse a lot of shoppers in the process. Consider that most companies pay for their product placement, and you'll no longer assume that a product at eye-level is the best one for you. We've heard these complaints -- and have experienced many of them ourselves -- and have tried to take most of the guesswork out of it for you (if what you are looking for is a safe, natural, healthy clean, that is).
