I don't work for or have any stake in this company, but I have personally been using Green Earth Technologies’ glass cleaner, car wash, and 5W 30 G-OIL for both of my cars all for about 6 months now and they all work great!

It does not matter if some of them are made with recycled plastic because they still get tossed into the landfill when you're done with them. I have had a 5 gallon bucket under my kitchen sink WITHOUT a liner for years and have no issue with odors. I put food scraps in the garbage disposal and plan to start a compost for those craps soon. So what's left in my garbage can are things like packaging materials and other non-food items. For that reason, no bag is needed. For the occasional gross item that cannot go in the disposal or in the compost, just invest in Bio-bags so those things can be wrapped up. A garbage can without a liner will need to be rinsed out regularly but it's worth the effort to protect the environment. Plastic garbage bags are a convenience for lazy people.

We stress using non-toxic products, and I've found that using a steam cleaner is a very effective way of getting areas clean. It even cleans off gunk that harsh chemicals, such as bleach, leave behind. I’ve operated an independently owned Atlanta maid and house cleaning service since 1981.

I use vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, essential oils, shammies, borax, and baking soda with excellent results. I cannot use regular cleaners because of chemical allergies with one of my sons.

They were really good and used green cleaning practices. I am so glad for your blog post, b/c I think it's such an easy thing to switch to and makes a huge difference, especially when children are in the home.

However, to make the biggest change, a HEPA filter is where its at. Most vacuum cleaners spread dust around while cleaning. HEPA takes it to a new level with only a few tenths of one percent being redistributed back into the atmosphere. Green clean is affective, except for one area, the bathroom tile. Nothing, I mean nothing, replaces good old fashioned bleach. Bleach is rough on the environment, but by looking at what our customers are requesting, they are still choosing clean over environmentally friendly the vast majority of the time. There is a lot of hype about green, but it takes people to back it. At least down south, we still have a long way to go. My Atlanta Maids have recently changed over to green products.
