Green Works Cleaning Wipes

I've already talked about Green Works stuff before.
It smells good. It seems to clean as well.

You know, last time I talked about how the stuff got the job done and made lots of bubbles, etc etc.
But this time, I really took a look at why Clorox can claim it's "green".

Seriously....have you seen how many "green" things there are on the market right now?
It's almost laughable, makes you wonder if every company in America had a meeting and said, "hey, let's promote a bunch of stuff in our product line as being 'green' and we'll make a ton of money. It worked for Al Gore, he has tons more cash than when he was Vice-President. Being all environmental rocks!"

So, let's take a peek at the back of the container here and see how exactly Green Works Natural Biodegradable Cleaning Wipes stack up.
  • Made with plant-based, biodegradable ingredients: these wipes made coconut-based cleaners and essential oils
  • Never tested on animals
  • Bottle contains a minimum of 25% post-consumer recycles plastic
  • No phosphorus, no bleach
Using these for the past week on my kitchen counters and table, I noticed something that assures me of their biodegradability. When you get done using one, it's all used up. It's not a still stiff chemical laden sheet. When you use one of these wipes, it's not super thick and tough. It does the job and that's it, you can see that the claims that these wipes were validated in normal compost testing are accurate.

It's up to you. If what happens to your cleaning supplies after you're done with them is important to you, then you just might want to read the info on the Green Works products yourself. Or at least check out their website if you want more information.

This review coming by way of Mom Central.
