Soon, we will all start the yearly ritual of opening the windows to let all that sweet smelling spring fresh air in, and break out the toxic cleaning products.

They are safe for you and your family, safe for your pets and the environment.

In 1989, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined the toxic chemicals found in common household cleaners, often dispersed in fumes, are three times more likely to cause cancer than are other air pollutants. Thus, in 1993, The General Services Administration (GSA) initiated the Cleaning Products Pilot Project to identify specific cleaning products with reduced human health and safety concerns for use in cleaning the more than 7,700 buildings overseen by GSA's Public Building Service. On average, Americans spend about 90 percent of their days indoors. EPA studies indicate that human exposure to air pollutants indoors can be 2-5 times, and occasionally up to 100 times, higher than outdoor levels.

You may ask yourselves, 'How can these common household cleaners be bad for me and my family? I read the label and it does not tell me of the harmful ingredients.' Cleaning products are exempt from the full ingredient disclosure on product labels required for food and personal care products due to how the trade secret laws work. According to a survey, 88% of Americans believe that household cleaning products must be tested for safety before they can be sold to the public, and 87% think manufacturers are required to list their products' ingredients on labels. I would be weary of any product that does not fully disclose their ingredients.

Also included in our Simple. Pure. Clean natural cleaning products are pure essential oils to add to the overall 'experience' of cleaning. We have a number of cleaning companies and customers who write to us telling of such experiences. Here is one such testimonial.

'I don't write to companies ever, but I had to make an exception this time. My friend recommended that I purchase your products. I did only because she insisted so much. I was skeptical that non-toxic products could clean as well as my favorite products. To my surprise, your products worked better then my old favorites. Now I can't imagine using anything but Simple. Pure. Clean. to clean with. Each of the products I bought smelled so good they make me WANT to clean!!!'
