Many green products on the market are really produced by a handful of large companies that would definitely not be considered green by any stretch of the imagination.

Some of these "natural products" that you are so wild about are no better than water, and actually are more dangerous because they provide a very false sense of security as to the cleanliness of the surface being cleaned. I applaud these companies for trying to limit the amount of toxic material in their products, but there is still a need for surfactants and other agents to truly do the job.

SCJ is a great company, and have some of the best working cleaning products around. Are they all great for the environment? NO!! Is driving your Hummer to work everyday, or using toilet paper to wipe good for the environment? NO!! If everyone would make a conscious effort to do their part it would make a difference. Way to go SCJ for trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible while making cleaning products that get the job done!
