Casa Beta: Clorox's Green Works Line

I was recently sent a variety of products from Clorox's new green cleaning line, Green

Works.

To hear what I thought about this new line of green cleaning products, just read more.

While I'm definitely not a loyal Clorox user (I am more of a Method gal), I was

impressed with their new green line. The ingredients for all of the products come from

renewable resources, are biodegradable, and are free from petrochemicals. Green

Works cleaners are at least 99% natural, though some of the products include a small

amount of synthetic ingredients, such as the preservative and green colorant.

Since I'm sensitive to most conventional bleaches and other cleansers, I was

pleasantly surprised by both the efficacy and lack of fumes from these products. The

all-purpose cleaner worked well on most surfaces, with the exception of a wine stain,

which required additional baking soda and elbow grease to remove the offending mark

from our porcelain kitchen countertop.

Additionally, the glass cleaner worked wonderfully and streak-free on mirrors and

glass surfaces, and the bathroom cleaner got the tub sparkling clean. In general, I was

satisfied with this new line, and can definitely recommend it to Casa readers. And

while Green Works will be priced at about a 20 percent premium to standard

cleansers, it should still sell for about 10 percent to 20 percent less than other natural

cleaners already in the market.

1Thanks for this review but I think I'm sticking to my seventhgeneration for now...

2Casa - could you write an ingredients list for us so that wecan compare it to our other cleaners. I'm trying to find agood cleaner. I've used Method - not impressed. 7thgeneration - not impressed. I've used Shakelee Get Clean -impressed but very expensive. Thanks!

3this looks like a great new find and while i am prettydevoted to method and dr. bonners i will definitely bepicking some of these up!

4Hmmm Green from Clorox? A little skeptical.

5Hi Ladies,

Here's a link to the ingredient list:http://www.greenworkscleaners.com/products/detail.php?id=napc

Pretty short list. I admit, I was skeptical as well, and willcontinue to be skeptical and keep an eye out for morearticles and information on these products. That said, theywork well, they don't irritate my skin or nose, and arecheaper than other green cleaning products. So I have tosay, some of my skepticism has been downgraded by theefficacy of the products.

6Hmmm, maybe I'll take a look at this the next time I'mshoppping. I've just started trying out Method, and I'm opento looking at other brands too.

7Method products have synthetic ingredients as well; they'retoo chemical-y for me. I think Green Works is an awesomename.

8Thanks, Casa. I'm especially interested to try the bathroomcleaner.

9I would recommend Melaleuca products. Better thanMethod and 7th Generation.
