Clorox Green Works
I was happy to sign up for the Clorox Green Works blog tour through Mom Central because I just LOVE washing my dishes.
Oops. You weren’t supposed to see that.
I signed on for the Clorox Green Works tour because I was curious if it worked as well as Seventh Generation, a company and product I love.
Clorox Green Works does actually work well. I don’t have to use as much of it as I have to use of Seventh Generation’s detergent, and it’s easier to get. Good for Clorox for coming out with Green Works. However, Clorox still churns out its chemical-laden products too, which makes them look like they’re just jumping on the green bandwagon, an exact concern they address in their FAQ’s on their website: “We’ve been working on natural products for the past 5 years. We set ourselves a difficult task–to set the standard for natural cleaning and create products that clean with the power you expect from Clorox. In fact, we delayed Green Works™ products from hitting the shelves by 6 months to further perfect the formula. We are fully committed to continuing to develop natural products that continue to set the standard for natural.”
What would be really great would be if Clorox phased out their other products in favor of only selling their Green Works products. Think it’ll happen?
Yeah. Me neither. Let’s just focus on baby steps. I have a nicely scented dish detergent that works well and can be purchased at the local grocery store, so the next time you’re buying detergent, give Clorox Green Works a shot instead of Dawn or Palmolive. And if you already buy Clorox products, try only buying their Green Works ones. Give them a reason to, shall we say, get greener.
