Green works...work?

My husband and I are trying to be more green. I was thinking of switching over to the green works household cleaners. The chemicals in the other stuff we use, like bathroom and kitchen cleaners, gives me a headache everytime I use them. I was wondering if the green works brand actually does work and clean just as good as other cleaning brands?

Re: Green works...work?

  • Because Green Works is made by Clorox, I am skeptical. I make my own cleaning supplies and use the brand Earth Friendly Products parsley plus as a supplement because it smells like HEAVEN and makes me want to clean!

  • I can't use it at all. It makes my asthma act up and I can't breathe. So I personally don't think it's any better.

  • I too am skeptical of greenworks. Why not just use baking soda and vinegar, it's natural and cheaper than buying those products. Plus by making your own you can reuse the same bottles over and over again thereby reducing the amount of plastic you contribute to the landfill.
  • most of the ladies here make their own cleaning products (i make some of mine as well) but if you're just starting to switch to being green, i can totally understand wanting to just purchase greener products. 

    as pp mentioned, greenworks is made by clorox.... not exactly an environmentally friendly company.  i've never used their products, but i have heard that they stink of chemicals just as much as the regular stuff.  

    some decent green brands to start with:

    Mrs. Meyers

    Seventh Generation (some of their products do contain SLS, so read the labels if you're trying to avoid it)

  • I have been doing green cleaner reviews in my blog.

    Here is the one I did about the dishwashing liquid. I just finished using the all purpose cleaner and will blog about this week it but I am not a fan. It just didn't do a good job.

  • Just put my review of the all purpose cleaner up.
