Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Arm & Hammer has released a new line of Essentials cleaners that use plant based cleaning formulas, come with refillable spray bottles, and has ingredients that are biodegradable. Plant-based cleaner derived from Coconuts and Palm Kernel Oil and contains other biodegradable eco-sensible cleaners. It contains no harsh ammonia or phosphates. The products contain no ammonia or phosphates, and contains between 20 to 38 percent less chemicals than traditional cleaners in pre-filled 32oz bottles. They use twist on concentrated cleaning cartridges and water you supply, saving on shipping costs. You can register on their web site for coupons. The cleaners cost about $4.

MSDS documents for these cleaners are on their Commercial & Professional Products website. Some interesting facts in the documents for the All Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser:

1) Chemical ingredients are listed at 100% Proprietary, so who know what is in it

2) TOXICITY: This product is expected to be moderately toxic to aquatic animals.

3) BIOACCUMULATION: This product is moderately expected to bioaccumulate.

4) HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Toxic gas and oxides of sodium and sulfur.

While I like the concept of this product, I worry about the composition of the cleaner. Their competition is a lot more transparent about ingredients. I think I’ll stick with them.

I like what they did. Being smart for the environment is much more than the chemicals that’s in the cleaners and I give them kudos for taking such a bold step.
