My series on spring cleaning is wrapping up this week and I have a few more products to help you out with your cleaning and organizational endeavors. If you read my blog, then you know I’m always looking for greener alternatives to conventional products. I am thrilled to share with you the latest on Scotch Brite’s new line of eco-friendly wipes, sponges, scrubbers, soap pads, and wipes called Greener Clean.
You may not know this, but many sponges are made from plastic and laden with chemicals such as Triclosan (an antibacterial and antifungal), which has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a pesticide (Green Living Tips). In contrast, the entire product line is made from natural, recycled materials. All eight products fall into one of five categories: biodegradable/compostable, renewable content, recyclable, reusable, and recyled material. Here is a little more information from the site:
The Greener Clean collection of reusable cleaning products combines superior cleaning power with eco-conscious natural and recycled materials. That means there’s no need to spend extra money on disposable cleaning products like paper towels and cleaning wipes.
The products are designed to be reused, which will help reduce your use of disposable paper towels and cleaning wipes. The entire line is derived from substances like bamboo, agave fibers, recycled plastic bottles, corn, and recycled paper. I had an opportunity to test out the Expanding Soft Sponge, Soap Loaded Scrubbers, Absorbent Sponges, Non-Scratch Scour Pads, and Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge. The sponges are soft but clean really well. I have a ton of stainless steel pots and pans that can’t be washed in our dishwasher and I am always careful about the type of sponge I use so as not to scratch the pans. I used the scrub side of the Non-Scratch Scrub Sponges and fortunately did not scratch the pans when I washed them. The Expanding Soft Sponges are great for storing since they don’t take up a lot of space. The Soap Loaded Scrubbers are ingenious and the soap is biodegradable and phosphorus free. Most of the products retail for $2-$4 with products as low as $1.59 and as high as $6.19.
To learn more about each of the individual products listed above, including their components, uses, and effectiveness, head on over to the site. You can purchase Scotch Brite Greener Clean products at Walmart and Target.
