That’s our philosophy on cleaning.

For more than 30 years, my favorite shopping club’s innovative cleaning products have used natural and biodegradable ingredients that clean even more effectively without damaging the environment. None of these cleaners contain chlorine bleach, ammonia, formaldehyde, or other toxic chemicals. As a result, none of them requires a childproof cap.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts they are also the market leader in concentrated formulas. By making their cleaning products as concentrated as possible, they use less plastic packaging, less fuel in shipping, and generate less waste. They believe that adding fillers to cleaning products is a waste of resources and customers’ money.

Larger bottles not only waste plastic, but water is heavy and costly to ship. Packaging and shipping water is an expensive and wasteful endeavor—and completely unnecessary. Almost every household in the developed world has water available at the sink at almost no cost to the customer. These unprecedented, super concentrated formulas are the result of state-of-the-art manufacturing and careful, scientific selection of ingredients.

For years, I’ve been using EcoSense cleaners and I wouldn’t be without them . Each one helps make my house sparkle and smell great.

Here’s a closer look at each one:

Tough & Tender® 12x Super-Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner

  • Safe for cleaning nearly all surfaces—granite, marble, even natural stone
  • No caustic chemicals, no safety caps required
  • Wipe material is biodegradable—a rarity in the marketplace
  • Replaces other all-purpose cleaners and wipes like Formula 409® and Clorox® Green Works®

Tub & Tile™ 12x Super-Concentrated Bathroom Cleaner

  • No chlorine bleach, toxic chemicals, or harsh fumes
  • Spray on, let sit a few minutes, then scrub and rinse off
  • Replaces Tilex®, Comet®, Scrubbing Bubbles®, Soft Scrub®, and Clorox® Bleach Foamer

No Work® 12x Super-Concentrated Daily Shower Cleaner

  • Simply spray on wet surfaces after every use
  • Keeps showers and tubs clean
  • Replaces Tilex® Daily Shower Cleaner® and Arm & Hammer® Clean Shower®

Clear Power® 12x Super-Concentrated Glass Cleaner

  • Dramatically improved cleaning power with naturally derived, ammonia-free cleaning agents
  • New, fresher fragrance is preferred 4-to-1 over the previous scent
  • Works best with our lint-free Microfiber Glass Cleaning Cloths

Each of these great products offers all the cleaning power I love in a small, more condensed size not found anywhere else. For safer formulas, better value, and unmatched innovation, nothing’s better for my home and family than EcoSense.

The labels make it easy to understand how to use the products, what’s in them, and what makes them the best on the market. All the information I need to know is clearly visible, making it easier than ever to keep my home safe and clean. I just can’t help share this information,especially since it’s National Cleaning week.

Are you as passionate about your cleaning products?

Alert Day logo no date

One in three Americans is at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, a serious disease that can lead to complications such as kidney disease, blindness, and amputations. But type 2 diabetes doesn’t have to be permanent–it can be prevented or delayed with healthy lifestyle modifications.

Held the last Tuesday of March each year, American Diabetes Association Alert Day® encourages everyone to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test and participate in workplace-friendly activities that will teach them about reversing the risk for diabetes.

National Spring cleaning week

It’s National Spring Cleaning week

After a new, independent study concluded that cleaning your home as little as once a week with national brand cleaners was as dangerous for your lungs as smoking a pack a day for twenty years, some parents are seriously wondering if cleaning the house is worth it at all—and who would blame them?

If adult lungs suffer when we breathe in the dangerous chemicals of national brand cleaning products, what about the developing lungs of children?

Yes, it’s just what you suspected: toxic chemicals are extremely dangerous for your children.

Here is what you need to know about hazardous chemicals and your child’s lungs:

• While toxins threaten everyone’s health, infants and children are especially sensitive to toxins and are very susceptible to air pollution

• Children are more vulnerable to chemicals (pound-by-pound because of their smaller body weight)

• Children’s bodies are less able to detoxify because their organs are not fully developed

If the hazardous chemicals in national brand cleaners are affecting adult respiratory health, imagine what they are doing to children who live in the same home, eat in the same kitchen, bathe in the same bathrooms, walk on the same floors, and breathe the same air! Their little lungs—so pure and clean—should be breathing air that is equally as pure and clean.

Giving up on cleaning all together (as tempting as that may sound some days) is not the answer. Living in filth comes with its own frightening threats to children’s health.

The good news is, it’s possible to provide your little ones with the home environment they deserve—freshly scrubbed, tidy and clean (even disinfected)—without harsh, toxic, organ-damaging chemicals.

EcoSense products are scientifically formulated to get your house sparkling clean without ammonia, chlorine bleach, quaternary disinfectants, or other dangerous chemicals. In fact, these cleaning products are so safe that no child safety caps are required.

These products are so good, they are all I’ve used for the past 15 years! During that time asthma and allergy attacks have been reduced to almost non-existent and this is with reduced medication. I’m healthier and saving money. You too can have a clean home that is also toxin-free! You only need to switch stores and get EcoSense the safer, more effective alternative.

ADVANTAGES OF CLEAN FLOORS

It goes without saying that clean floors make your home LOOK better, so to beautify your home is a key reason why you clean your floors. Surprisingly, another big reason is to prevent injuries from tripping or slipping.

Other reasons why we are so fussy about having clean floors include: removing stains, dirt, litter and obstructions; removing grit and sand which scratches and wears down the floor’s surface; removing allergens, especially dust; and to make the environment sanitary.

Returning to reasons, aside from beautifying your floors, the correct cleaning methods can remove stains, as well as surface dirt. Proper cleaning actually increases the life of your floors. Cleaning your floors the right way can kill allergens that can cause or exacerbate diseases like asthma.

Regular maintenance can also help you avoid expensive professional cleaning or machine rentals or purchases. Household budgets are sensitive these days, so avoiding these expenses can obviously help.

Different types of wood flooring may require completely different care depending on whether they are waxed, oiled or have a polyurethane coating. It is important to determine the type of finish of a wood floor and always treat it in the proper manner, for instance it is difficult to clear wood floor wax from a floor coated with polyurethane.

Here are some basic floor cleaning tips:

Clear the floor of any furniture that is easy to move.
Sweep or vacuum all loose dirt and debris.
Mop the floor, going along with the grain.
For a polyurethane coated floor, dampen a mop with water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Be sure to ring out the mop thoroughly before using it on the floor. Run the mop back and forth, going with the grain of the wood in smooth strokes.
Do not use water for lacquered or shellacked floors, as it can stain the wood and cause buckling.
Buff the floor with a soft cloth to remove any soapy residue. Cloth diapers work well for buffing since they are very soft and absorbent.

Tile and stone flooring is common in kitchens, stairs, and bathrooms. Its cleaning process can be divided into these steps:
Dirt or dust should first be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a broom.
Have a floor cleaning solution or spray bottle for the appropriate floor. If you are cleaning stone floors (marble, granite, travertine, etc.), make sure the cleaning agent states that it is for stones. An acidic tile cleaning solution can be used on ceramic and porcelain floors
After spraying the tile or stone floors in a small area, use a mop to clean and scrub floors.then wipe it with dry cloth.

The company with whom I am associated has recently developed a complete system for cleaning, dusting and polishing your floors easily and efficiently. Another advantage of proper cleaning is that cleaning your floors can burn 200 calories and the results will help you feel psychologically better. So, get to work. Your home will look good and you will feel good.

Sleep is something all humans require but often gets shortchanged by our busy lives. Studies have shown how crucial a proper nights sleep is to determining health and living a balanced lifestyle.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get an average of seven to nine hours of sleep per night. This number increases the younger you are. It’s estimated that 80% of people use the weekends to catch up on sleep. Developing a consistent sleep schedule benefits the quality and quantity of your sleep by balancing your circadian rhythms. With a proper rest and wake cycle, you are not only ensuring you age gracefully but allow your body to restore fully for the day ahead.
