Environmentally friendly cleaners help cut down on the use of industrial chemicals that can damage our water supply when flushed down drains. Eco cleaners feature natural ingredients and fragrances, which are less likely to trigger asthma attacks, allergies and headaches, and are biodegradable. By mixing up your own cleaners at home with inexpensive supplies found in the kitchen, you save money while being environmentally responsible.
