Clorox "green" cleaning line....

[Kelli in TN]

Has anyone bought any of these products? Did you like them?

I would really like to find a line of non-toxic cleaning products that is affordable. I have not been pleased with homemade concotions, no matter how many formulas I try. Seventh Generation does not fit into my budget.

This new line looks promising and affordable, but it is put it by Clorox and so I am cautious about how earth-friendly it would really be.

Here is an article (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/01/clorox-green-works.php) about the products.
My immediate reaction is that these certainly are better for our families and for the environment than Clorox's regular products, even if they've not gone quite as far as we'd like.

I hadn't heard that Clorox bought Burt's Bees. That's disappointing.

Great question, I've been wondering as well!

In searching for information about Clorox green I came upon similar information. I don't like seeing small companies swallowed up by big companies.

I wonder what motivates a company like Burt's Bees to sell to a company like Clorox?

I wonder what motivated American Girl to sell to Mattel?

I wonder what motivated The Body Shop to sell to L'Oreal?

Is it just about money? Some of these small companies seem to be selling to companies that are opposite what they claimed to be their core beliefs. :confused:

Maybe I am just too idealistic.

I've been using the bathroom cleaner. It works really well. I don't have hard water or anything though, so my tub isn't hard to keep clean. It smells nice and makes me feel better about the kids hopping in the tub right after I've cleaned it, as opposed to using a harsh chemical.

I'm sad to hear about Burt's Bees.:(
