Simple Green Naturals — Simply clean and keepin’ it green. We don’t need to go “green” — we’re already there!

Even with a huge growth spurt of green cleaning products, there are still a lot of toxic and hazardous cleaners available on the market. Before you purchase cleaning products, or when checking what you already have, ask yourself if this is something you really feel comfortable with in your home.

If the answer is no then it’s time to consider replacing your old cleaning products with non-toxic and environmentally preferable alternatives. Making the right choice for clean should be simple and green. With Simple Green and Simple Green Naturals it’s safe and easy to do. With a product family of over 30 items, we have a solution for all your home cleaning needs — indoor, outdoor, automotive… the list goes on. Bottom line — we’ve got you covered.

Some good green advice: Keep in mind that when you’re disposing of toxic or hazardous cleaning products it’s important to dispose of properly. By just throwing them away, they can end up in our waterways. Most city websites have information on the proper disposal of hazardous materials.

Now let’s get cleaning the Simple Green way —
Check out our room-by-room guide on getting clean the green way, complete with information about the right Naturals product for each task at hand and some recommended changes to help green your environment.

Living Room — Home is certainly where the heart is, and that’s even more reason to keep it healthy, happy and clean! Our living rooms are the central place where friends and family gather to talk, play and relax. Make sure the room you create and care for does the same for you.

   •  Take off your shoes. A great deal of dirt, grime and germs get
       brought into your home on the bottom of your shoes.

   •  Hard surface flooring can be kept cleaner than carpet.
       However, if choosing carpet or rugs, avoid synthetic. Instead,
       select options with natural fibers that are free of glues and
       dyes. And for your carpet cleaning needs we’ve got a new
       product that will make your toes wiggle: Simple Green Naturals
       Carpet Care is water based and contains a non-chlorine oxidizer
       that breaks down and oxidizes proteins such as food soils and
       pet stains.

   •  Just say no to petroleum based paints. Select paints with
       vegetable or milk bases that are low VOC choices. To keep that
       fresh-coat clean, use Simple Green Naturals Multi-Surface Care.
       This is a water-based, all natural, ready-to-use cleaner that
       will safely and gently clean fingerprints, smudges, and much
       more from painted and other hard surfaces.

   •  For window coverings, choose curtains made from organic
       cotton or bamboo fabrics. For blinds and shutters look for
       options that are PVC free and made from renewable and
       sustainable materials. For your window cleaning needs Simple
       Green Naturals Glass & Surface Care is 100% naturally derived
       and will leave your glass crystal clear and your mirrors sparkling
       clean and streak free.

Kitchen — This might be the most popular room in your home, and because it’s where we prepare food, it is the most important room to keep clean and healthy.

   •  Counter tops— the less porous the surface the easier to keep
       clean. Choose natural surfaces and have them protected with
       natural sealants to help protect against bacteria. And for
       cleaning, Naturals Multi-Surface Care is designed for cleaning
       hard surfaces such as counter-tops, tables, walls, fixtures and
       appliances.

   •  Floors— There’s probably a great deal of foot traffic in this
       part of your home. Between food, kids, pets and often times
       this being the room closest to the garage, if ever there was a
       cleaning task that earned the name “chore,” this is it. But
       don’t fret. Simple Green Naturals Floor Care is designed for
       safe and effective cleaning of all types of flooring including
       laminate, porcelain tile, slate, finished wood, linoleum and
       more.

   •  Keeping in mind that all drains lead to a waterway sooner or
       later, it’s great to know we have a dish soap you can feel
       confident using. Naturals Dish Washing Liquid is water based,
       phosphorus free, biodegradable and 100% naturally derived.
       And for keeping your hands clean and soft, Naturals Liquid
       Hand Soap is an effective cleaner and gentle to the skin as
       well.

   •  Don’t forget to dispose of your kitchen waste properly. Make
       sure to recycle what can be reused and compost your kitchen
       scraps when possible.

Bathroom — It’s simple: Where you go to get clean, should be clean… really clean.

   •  Tub, Tile, Toilet. The three T’s can now be cleaned with one
       product, what a breeze. Simple Green Naturals Bathroom
       Cleaner is designed for use on soils such as hard water spots
       and soap scum that are commonly found in the tub, toilet and
       sink.

   •  When it comes to hand washing let the truth be told. A little
       soap and water does the trick on dirt and germs. Simple Green
       Naturals Liquid Hand Soap is an effective cleaner and gentle to
       the skin as well. It’s easy to use and will not strip the skin’s
       natural oils, making it perfect for every day hand washing.

   •  Shower doors, windows and mirrors will reflect the fairest of
       them all in no time. Naturals Glass & Surface Care is effective
       for use on glass and reflective surfaces. It is easy to use. This
       ready-to-use glass cleaner can be simply sprayed onto a glass,
       reflective or other hard surface and wiped clean with a
       lint-free paper towel, a non-abrasive lint free cloth or clean
       micro-fiber cloth.

   •  Remember, mildew likes warm, damp places. Use your
       bathroom fan and/or open windows when showering to let the
       cool fresh air in.

   •  Soap, deodorants, shampoos, toothpastes and cosmetics can all
       contain chemicals and ingredients that can be dangerous to
       your health. Put the same amount of consideration and
       research into the products you are using on you. Home may be
       where the heart is, but your body is where you live.
