Are Green Cleaning Products as Effective as Regular Products?

These days, many of us are thinking about ways to lessen our impact on the environment. To this end, environmentalism affects the way many people live their lives, but it also affects their shopping habits. Purchasing green products instead of traditional cleaners is a great way to have a positive impact on the environment. But are green cleaning products as effective? 

Many people believe that natural products aren’t as effective as chemical-based products when it comes to household cleaners. However, Charlie’s Soap Indoor & Outdoor Surface Cleaner and Kitchen & Bath Household Cleaner are good for the environment but work better than most household products that use harsh chemicals.

How Do Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products Work? 

Green cleaners like those from Charlie’s Soap are powered by compounds found in nature or can be traced to nature very easily. What this means, is that while you can’t go pick our ingredients from a tree, they are extremely biodegradable. Our cleaners are made simply with very few natural minerals and biodegradable formulas. According to expert studies from Japan Food Research Laboratories and In Situ Biosciences LLC, all Charlie’s Soap cleaning supplies exceed requirements for biodegradability. 

All Charlie’s Soap cleaning products are made with the fundamental principles of smart chemistry and good science. While our Charlie’s Soap Indoor & Outdoor Surface Cleaner and Kitchen & Bath Household Cleaner only have a fraction of the ingredients seen with most products, they are more effective in getting your home clean. Many household cleaners rely on chemicals like bleach to get the job done, while Charlie’s Soap sticks to basic natural ingredients such as sodium carbonate. 

The chemists at Charlie’s Soap stand by the mantra that “less is more.” While most household cleaners are compromised of at least 8 chemical additives, Charlie’s Soap cleaners have only 4 natural ingredients each. As such, our products don’t contain any of the harmful chemicals found in most all-purpose cleaners.

One of the best things is, by sticking with natural cleaners like Charlie’s Soap, you don’t have to be concerned about indoor air quality or carcinogens
