time in awe and curiosity (How did they do that?), while trying to figure out how a wood chip becomes a sponge soft enough to clean delicate surfaces, yet abrasive enough to remove caked on food from last night’s dinner plate. These sponges are made out of a product called viscose, which is very absorbent, effective - think sheepskin (but no dead animals) - and softens with each machine wash allowing you to "wring out and use to dry again and again". If you are a little nutty, then you may prefer the Sponge With Walnut Scrubber, which is made from "50% post consumer recycled materials." Just remember, don’t try to eat it.
Sponges are no good without cleaners. Continue your green cleaning with high performance, concentrated cleaners, stain removers, and cleaning supplies (distributed by GAF host company Life as Organic) that also include an organic, all-purpose cleaner that is Green Seal certified.
Gain more green points with a recycled mop and a sustainable handle made from 80% recycled bottles. Natural fiber and organic dish towels are one way, but if you can't seem to get away from the paper, then why not try recycled paper and go all the way?Are you excited about cleaning yet? If anything, cleaning will be a little more interesting. If you are still not sold, then consider hiring a cleaning company for periodic or regular services. Any telephone book contains pages of cleaning services, but not many that provide complete green services like California Green Clean which is based in Sacramento. Their green living trained housekeepers arrive in hybrid cars, use Green Sealed cleaners, color coded cleaning micro-fiber cloths to "prevent cross contamination from home to home," and exemplify their green values in their office and work place (your home or business) environments. If you are not yet able to afford the luxury of "hired-help," then register to win a FREE home cleaning through their monthly drawing.
Another Sacramento option is Capital Cleaning, which has been serving residential and commercial customers in the Sacramento area for more than 20 years. They not only green clean your business, but also assist in it achieving LEED certification. Their mission of creating healthier environments is further shown through their program that offers a FREE, "one-time cleaning service" to female cancer patients currently undergoing chemotherapy" and who reside in the Sacramento area. With their price matching promise and Web specials, affording quality cleaning service just got a little easier.
You can now cross cleaning off of your "To Do" list.
