Clear and Free......and Clean

Maybe you want to use plant-based cleaners but you don’t want the fragrance that comes with  natural cleaners.

Every product in the Clean and Clear line uses use natural ingredients and is completely free of perfumes or other fragrance but they still have the same cleaning ability of the original cleaning products and laundry line. They really work and the only thing missing is fragrance.

Naturally Clean; Clean Naturally



When it comes to cleaning—your home, your clothes …you have many choices. Should you choose products that are made from natural ingredients? Even if you don’t have a well for your drinking water or a septic tank for waste, what gets poured or sprayed into your living environment and your clothes, eventually goes out into the environment in some way at some point. If the product cleans or softens to your satisfaction why wouldn’t you use it?






At Seventh Generation, they say: “We know your home is your world.. . For the past 20 years, it’s been our mission to help you protect your world with our naturally safe and effective household products.” And they make and sell what they advocate.

For example the Natural All Purpose Cleaner is non-toxic & biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, does not create harsh fumes, is not tested on animals, and is even Kosher-certified. And with ingredients including essential oils and botanical extracts* (citrus reticulata (green mandarin), mentha spicata (spearmint), citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain), citrus aurantium bigarade , it smells absolutely wonderful. And those plant-based ingredients are not there just for the olfactory effect, they provide real cleaning muscle, along with the other biodegradable ingredients.
Other great-performing and wonderful smelling cleaning products include: Blue Eucalyptus and Lavender or White Flower and Bergamot Citrus Laundry Liquid Concentrate, Wild Orange and Cedar Spice Kitchen Cleaner, Lavender Floral and Mint Dishwashing Liquid, Emerald Cypress and Fir Tub and Tile Cleaner. There are also Automatic Dishwasher detergent packs that work very well. When you use these products you will not only cleaning up, you will be cleaning with a conscience, with the welcome bonus of fresh fragrance.

As of this writing, Seventh Generation has saved more than 365,000 trees and 999,000 gallons of petroleum. As their motto says:
           "In our every deliberation, we must consider the
            impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”

Thoroughly Flushed





Whether or not you agree that the modern toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper, it is certain that the basic design of this necessity has not changed much over the years. The question—usually asked when trying to clean the toilet—is why? True enough that toilets in most public bathrooms, being attached to the wall, are a bit easier to clean and that design may or may not be adaptable for residential use. Either way, those bowls still have to cleaned and it is a job that is sure to keep you humble. But here is a product to make it a little easier, while still doing a thorough job.



The new
O-Cedar® Scrub Fresh™ Toilet Bowl Brush is the perfect solution for those who want to battle bacteria build-up in their toilet bowls and bathrooms. The brush’s anti-microbial bristles prevent odor-causing bacteria growth on the brush, while the caddy’s built-in hygienic spray freshens the brush. And, the child-safe locking system allows you to cleanly and safely store the brush.



The
longer bristles and shorter bristles work together for a thorough scrubbing. The angled brush provides easy, heavy-duty cleaning under the rim, where lime scale builds up. The bristles of the Scrub Fresh Toilet Bowl Brush contain anti-microbial protection that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and since the anti-microbial treatment is built into the bristle manufacturing process, it will not wash out when you clean the toilet.



There is also a hygienic spray inside the caddy to freshen the brush after each use, so you are not storing a dirty brush. To freshen the brush after each use, push the handle down to activate the spray. After a few seconds, your brush will be refreshed and ready for its next use. Each can of hygienic spray will last for approximately three months and is available in 1.5-ounce refill cans. The innovative design of the Scrub Fresh Toilet Bowl Brush results in 30 percent less debris getting left in the brush after cleaning. The Scrub Fresh Toilet Bowl Brush caddy has a child-safe locking feature on both the hygiene spray compartment and the brush caddy.



This product makes cleaning a toilet bowl more agreeable.
