Many ingredients in conventional cleaning products may pose environmental and health risks. This guide will help you easily identify sustainable and effective alternatives!
Better Commercial Products
- Look for reputable certification labels – Check out the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) comprehensive guide on greener cleaning products. Look for “Safer Choice” and “Design for the Environment” certification labels created by the EPA to identify products made with ingredients that are safer for you and the environment. There are other third-party certifications with various goals and standards. The EPA provides a full list of recommendations in regards to private sector standards and eco-labels.
