How Safe are Green Cleaning Products
Los Angeles Times, April 28
[...]Martiné’s interest in green cleaning stemmed from reading that mopping agents might harm her new puppy — and coming home one day to find that her husband had passed out while cleaning their unventilated bathroom. He had been using a combination of products and had hit his head as he fell to the floor. He was just coming to when Martiné, a food photographer, returned home to San Francisco[...]
Like her, a growing number of Americans are seeking so-called green cleaners — products made with natural, nontoxic, biodegradable ingredients. Few consumers may be going the straight DIY route, but sales of natural cleaning products totaled $105 million during the last 12 months, up 23% over the previous 12 months, according to SPINS, a Schaumburg, Ill.-based market research and consulting firm for the natural products industry.

loved your site—i have been fragrance free for over 12 years—wish more people ditched their chemical fragrances. at first it was hard to find unscented products but now it is getting a little easier.i have been searching for a cleaning person to clean my house—but every person i have tried come in smelling of tide detergent or some antibacterial soap or febreeze—they give me migraine headaches.i have found some good fragrance free products—if you want to compare notes contact me. also check out my blog and website

A Distinctive, Non-toxic Cleaning Alternative: Bio-Enviro “Concentrated Formula” is an all natural, economically priced and inexpensive solution ~ makes gallons of cleaner for pennies.
Bio-Enviro is extremely diverse: Glass - 1:256 (one ounce to two gallons of water), All Purpose - 1:128 (one ounce to one gallon of water), Heavy Cleaning - 1:64 (two ounces to one gallon of water). No product on the market can come remotely close to this pricing or the small amount of product used.

I have found excellent nontoxic, both commercial and home, cleaning products. Go to http://www.cleanroot.com I have tried several of their products and they are the best yet. Non toxic, smell great and best of all REALLY WORK! I love the Deep Clean and Super Shine for everything. They dont have a glass cleaner but when I contacted them they said one was just around the corner. I love products that can be used on a lot of different jobs and work.
