Everyone Should Be Able to Clean Their Homes Without Chemical Concerns

SaferChoice / 1 min read

Everyone should be able to clean without having to worry about the products they use.

That’s why we recognize EPA’s SaferChoice® program for household cleaning products that avoid chemicals of concern without sacrificing efficacy. We are also proud to recognize products certified by Cradle to Cradle and USDA Bio-Based. In 2018, we published a cleaning chemical policy banning nine chemicals of concern from household cleaning chemical products.
