Mrs. Meyers’ Cleaning Products
Have you discovered Mrs. Meyers’ cleaning products yet? I did just recently and just placed my first order. In an effort to reduce our family’s footprint, and generally be more conscience and aware of our surroundings and effect on our environment, I have started keeping an eye on the cleaning products we use in our home. The Seventh Generation product line is a popular one a lot of people already know about, but Mrs. Meyers is a new one to me.
The important stuff. Her products:
- Contain Natural Ingredients. “We use naturally derived ingredients whenever possible from corn, sugar cane, coconut and palm. When we cannot find a plant-derived ingredient that performs to our rigorous standards, we use ingredients from the world of safe synthetics. These are materials with a long history of safety and efficacy in use for people and the environment they live in. At Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, we do our best every day to make our formulations as natural as possible without compromising freshness, and performance. Our fragrances contain natural essential oils and other non-natural ingredients to ensure safety, consistent performance and quality. Our products DO NOT contain ammonia, chlorine or phosphates.”
- Are Biodegradable. “Mrs. Meyer’s makes environmentally friendly, biodegradable cleaning products. All of our liquid cleaning products will biodegrade. Our powdered products do contain minerals that do not biodegrade; yet they break down into non-harmful decomposition products. Whenever possible, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day uses concentrated formulations to reduce the amount of packaging necessary for our products, and ultimately to save money for our customers. For example, one 32 ounce bottle of our All-Purpose Cleaner will make 16 gallons of cleaning fluid when properly diluted. All packaging used by Mrs. Meyer’s is recyclable. Our liquid cleaners use #1 and #2 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers, and other products are packaged in recyclable cardboard (dryer sheets) or glass (candles).”
- Are Free from Animal Testing. “Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day manufactures cruelty-free cleaning products. None of our products have ever been tested on animals, and never will be. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products do not use any animal derived ingredients. Our Furniture Cream does use the animal by-product beeswax.”
