Marketing Director from Earth Choice says...

Household cleaning products (kitchen, laundry, toilet, and general purpose) are appearing on supermarket shelves in response to the overwhelming environmental concerns of everyday shoppers. Reducing industrial-type chemicals and packaging is a key focus for manufacturers, demonstrated by the common availability of PET refill bottles and chemical FREE cleaners. Of particular importance, is the elimination of phosphates & sodium, and cleaners that work using biodegradable surfactants. Responsible household cleaners cost the same and help keep waterways clean and healthy. In the laundry, responsible cleaners provide a fresh & clean wash that whiten & brighten without enzymes or heavy fragrances, a hot topic in the supermarket cleaning aisle. Likewise, in the bathroom, toilet cleaners perform a hygenic clean, and remove stains using powerful 'plant active' formulas. Natural toilet cleaners tyically leave your toilet clean and fresh with eucalyptus oil.

Top 5 TIPS ON Buying Household Cleaners

1. Buy Australian Made & Owned that support local 'clean-economy' jobs.

2. Look for biodegradable cleaning products that display the Australian Standard AS4351, have dissolvable wrappers, or packaged using recycleable non-bleached cardboard.

3. Choose clear PET bottles where the cleaning liquid carries the dye colouring rather than the bottle for its shelf appearance.

4. Choose phosphate free, low sodium cleaners not tested on animals.

5. Use liquid dispensers to deliver correct volumes. Always buy refill bottles.
