A Review of Eco Clean Non-Toxic Cleaning Products

Eco Clean is the newest line of eco-friendly cleaning products that I've had the opportunity to try.

Eco Clean products are made in Scandinavia from local Danish ingredients. Danish scientist Jens Erik Hansen worked for over five years developing the formula called AEB which stands for Active Bio Boost.

The AEB is a natural amino acid derivative that causes little skin irritation combined with plant and sugar based surfactants and scented with essential oils the natural cleaning properties of the solutions offer high quality cleaning without toxic chemicals. The products are eco, child and allergy friendly and fully biodegradable. They are free of parabens, phosphates, bleach, ammonia, and petro chemicals. Even the water supply used to create the products is pure by being naturally filtered through flowing under the Danish island's natural limestone deposits.

Eco Clean products are manufactured in a SWAN certified facility and packaged in recyclable PET bottles. SWAN is the official Nordic eco-label. The SWAN criteria evaluate environmental impact during the entire life cycle of the product. They focus on reducing factors that are considered environmentally harmful. The criteria are updated every three years to take account of new knowledge and production methods.Eco Clean products include apple and thyme dish soap, orange and rosemary kitchen counter cleaner, spicy lavender all purpose cleaner, lavender and mint bath cleaner, cool mint toilet cleaner, white tea and sage glass cleaner and hand wash that comes in grapefruit and lemon scent and in lavender and wild fruits scent.

Some of the Best Green Cleaning Products

Over the past couple of years a lot of eco-friendly cleaning products have hit the market. I’ve had the chance to try some of them. Some of them are okay, some are alright and others don’t work at all.

Here’s a list of some of the products that did work and worked really well. Products that I absolutely love and feel safe using. They are eco and they work. As an added bonus, some of them even smell good.

If you need a carpet cleaner or upholstery spotter to get out tough stains then Eco Mist Solutions Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Spray is one to try. It is made with: non-chlorinated water,
corn, tree sap, processed coconut extract, potatoes, soy, grains and grass. Eco Mist Solutions Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Spray works great without leaving any toxic fumes behind or any sticky soapy residue on the carpet or furniture. A big bonus for Eco Mist… no brown spots on my furniture. I love it. I can spot clean my sofa and loveseat and not worry about brown rings. On light colored furniture many products leave cellulosic browning stains behind- not Eco Mist.

Another great eco brand that I have tried is Better Life. I am in love with Better Life’s whatEVER! clary sage and citrus multipurpose cleaner. It cleans anything and everything and does it really well. The whatever spray lives up to its promises by cleaning whatever you need it to…naturally and with a very pleasant mild citrusy scent.
