Sorting
through the confusion of "green" cleaning products.
Many companies are
re-evaluating their product lines to better fit "green" standards.
Watkins didn't know it at the time, but the products that we have been
committed to developing and bringing to your family for 140 years are
getting a lot of attention and actively sought after by
consumers.
Today we have many choices for natural and
environmentally friendly cleaning products. How do we weed out the
truly natural products from imposters? Gina Moore, Watkins Home Care
Product Manager offered to help us sort through this confusion and
give us a few tips.
What makes a green
cleaning product "green?" - At Watkins we have defined green cleaning products
as items that use renewable, non-toxic, phosphate-free and
biodegradable ingredients. Products that work, but don't create fumes
or leave behind residue that may affect the health of your family or
impact the environment.
How do "green" cleaners work? -
Green cleaners break down
dirt and grease using surfactants from natural renewable resources.
For example, instead of using ammonia as the active ingredient,
Watkins uses natural plant extracts. These active ingredients act like
magnets pulling dirt up and away from the
surface.
What should we be looking for when we are looking
for "green" cleaning products? - Watkins of course! Your first indication that a
cleaning product isn't as natural as it could be is the use of
colourants or dyes. A neon pink or purple cleaner should send up a red
flag. Pay close attention to ingredient decks, cautionary statements
and label warnings. These might be an indication that the product
isn't as natural as it could be.
How do we know a "green"
cleaner is truly not going to harm our environment? -
The Clean Water Fund, a
non-profit organization, estimates that the average American uses
forty pounds of environmentally harmful household cleaners each year.
Multiply that number by 245 million Americans and the effects are
significant! The important claims to look for with regard to
environment are biodegradable and phosphate free. Also steer clear of
aerosol cleaners that can deplete the
ozone.
What ingredients should we steer clear of?
- Watkins has established a
freedom code for our Natural Home Care line complete with all the
ingredients we steer clear of and standards we guarantee to be
met:
- Ammonia Free
- Animal Ingredient Free
- Anxiety & Guilt Free
- Benzene Free
- Biodegradable
- Boron Free
- Butyl/Ethyl Free
- Cellosolve Free
- Chlorine Free

J.R. Watkins
Natural Home Care products are also environmentally
friendly, 100% naturally derived and readily
biodegradable. |
Everyday choices affect the health of our
families and our environment. Household products are one of the largest
contributors of heath problems in our homes. Cleaners containing
ammonia, chlorine and other chemical ingredients have been known to
cause respiratory irritation. In North America, one in three people
suffers from allergies, asthma, sinusitis or bronchitis.* Minimize your
family's exposure to these harmful toxins with Watkins Premium Natural
Cleaning Line!
J.R. Watkins Natural Cleaning Products feature
non-toxic plant-based formulas that are both biodegradable and phosphate
free. These ultra concentrated cleaners are naturally derived so they
are easy on the environment, your home and your loved ones. J.R Watkins
Natural Cleaning Line features four clean fresh scents. These plant
based formulas are fragranced with natural lemon, lavender, rosemary and
orange oil as well as extracts from palm and coconut. These natural
aromas will leave your home smelling fresh and sparkling clean ...

Watkins Natural All-Purpose Cleaners
effortlessly remove dirt and grime from all hard surfaces that water
alone won't harm. You'll find thousands of uses for this powerful
earth friendly formula. No rinsing required, simply spray and wipe
away with a dry cloth. Available in three premium fragrances: Aloe and
Green Tea, Lemon or Lavender. A great alternative to harsh and toxic
chemical cleaners!
Powerful enough to remove even your toughest
dirt, yet gentle enough for your loved ones, your home and the
environment. Many all-purpose cleaners contain toxins that can be
inhaled. Ammonia-based cleaners can irritate the skin, eyes and
respiratory system. Minimize your family's exposure to these harmful
toxins with Watkins Natural All-Purpose
Cleaners.
Tips:
- Spray a small amount of Watkins
Natural All-Purpose Cleaner on a soft cloth and gently rub cloth
over switch plates to remove smudges and fingerprints.
- Never dust using a dry towel,
this method will only relocate the dust into the air or onto the
floor. For optimal dusting, lightly dampen a micro fiber cloth or
paper towel with Watkins Natural All-Purpose Cleaner.
- To naturally clean your
microwave, place a bowl of water with a few drops of lemon juice in
the microwave and run on high for one minute. Next spray Watkins
Natural All-Purpose Cleaner on the surface and wipe away crusted
food and grease.
- To clean ceiling fans, use a
long-handled brush dampened with Watkins Natural All-Purpose
Cleaner.
- Clean appliance knobs,
cracks and grooves with a cotton swab dipped in Watkins Natural
All-Purpose Cleaner. Before cleaning any appliance, please remember
to unplug it.

 Lemon Toilet Bowl Cleanser
Cleans and decalcifies any porcelain bathroom surface
including:
Watkins Natural Toilet Bowl Cleanser
works to decalcify your toilet while at the same time reducing harmful
molds and mildew that linger. This cedar-based formula is one of the
least acidic or caustic cleaners on the market making it safe for all
septic systems.
Conventional toilet bowl cleaners are among the
most hazardous products found in the home. These cleaners often
contain harmful acids and dyes. Now you can clean your toilet without
unpleasant harsh chemical fumes and vapors found in other toilet bowl
cleaners. And because the formula is made up of replenishable and
sustainable ingredients, you leave the smallest possible footprint on
the environment! Cleaning the toilet doesn't have to be an unpleasant
task. With routine maintenance and Watkins Natural Toilet Bowl
Cleaner, cleaning the toilet can be, if not fun, at least less of a
burden.
Tips:
- Cleaning the toilet doesn't
have to be a dreaded task. Routine maintenance will make the job
much easier.
- Be sure to apply cleaner up
under the rim of your toilet bowl.
- For severe toilet bowl
stains, allow cleaner to sit on bowl surface while you clean other
surfaces.

- Ceramic Tile
- Grout
- Chrome
Fixtures
- Fiberglass
- Porcelain

bathroom surfaces!
Enjoy a chemical-free bath or shower
with Watkins Natural Citrus Tub and Tile Cleaner. You wouldn't take a
bath or shower in chlorine or phosphoric acid, so why would you clean
your bathroom with them? Other shower cleaners contain several harsh
chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin and respiratory systems.
But just a light mist of Watkins Natural Citrus Tub & Tile Cleaner
will leave your bathroom tub, tile and fixtures spot free! Now you can
drive away water stains and soap scum with this eco-responsible
cleaner that is even safe for your septic system. Throw away your
rubber gloves and clean your tub and tile with natural essential

on tiles and fixtures.
- Use a squeegee on glass
doors to help prevent soap scum build-up.
- Never use an abrasive on
acrylic or fiberglass bath tubs.
- Plastic shower curtains can
be machine washed to clean soap scum spots.

dripping faucet or fixture. Ignoring this problem can waste a lot of
water!

 Window
Cleaners
Streak-free formula: Leaves glass with a
sparkling shine.
- Fresh scents: Leave
your home smelling fresh and clean.
Make your
windows sparkle with Watkins Natural Window Cleaner. Perfect for
cleaning windows, mirrors and any other glass surfaces. Gently wipe
away grime, dust and fingerprints with this natural formula. Great for
removing water spots from bathroom mirrors. And because this formula
is coconut based, it won't leave a smeary film or residue behind. For
optimal natural sunlight, use a premium natural window
cleaner!
Other glass cleaners contain neon dyes and ammonia
that can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory system when diffused
into the air. Ammonia can get into your lungs and nose causing you to
sneeze, cough or have headaches. Ammonia has also been known to harm
the environment by poisoning plants, animals and fish. Now, you can
clean your windows with a natural, ammonia free formula. Breathe easy
with the sweet, soothing, natural aroma of lavender or the
refreshing scent of aloe and green tea.
Tips:
- Spray window cleaner at
least ten inches or more away from glass to help minimize
streaking.
- Squeegees are great tools
for cleaning windows, glass surfaces or mirrors.
- Wipe away excess dirt and
grime from your window sills and framework prior to applying a
window cleaner.
- Lint-Free or microfiber
cloths are ideal for minimizing streaks.
- If you are cleaning the
inside and outside of your windows, use different cleaning strokes
on each side. Wipe one side vertically and the other side
horizontally so you can easily tell which side needs another wipe to
remove streaks.
- Having clean windows makes
your room look instantly brighter.

 Liquid Laundry Detergent
Concentrates
Concentrated: Use only 1 ounce per load; 32
loads per container. This three times concentrated, 1 oz.
per load, Watkins Natural Liquid Laundry Concentrate uses 2/3 less
detergent than standard 100 oz. detergents per load. The 32 oz.
compact packaging also uses less than half the plastic of standard 100
oz. bottles which means less waste and less impact on the environment.
You never have to lug a huge, heavy bottle of laundry detergent down
to the laundry room again. One oz. of this powerful detergent will
clean an entire load of laundry, just two tablespoons of detergent per
load! This natural concentrated formula also contains a soy-based
fabric softener to leave clothes feeling soft and clean. It's low
sudsing making it ideal for front loaders, top loaders and high
efficiency washers.
Other laundry detergents are
petroleum-based. These detergents deplete our limited non-renewable
resources and create pollution when manufactured. Synthetic optical
brighteners that reflect light to make clothes appear cleaner can
trigger severe allergic reactions. J.R. Watkins Natural Laundry
Detergent is free of synthetic optical brighteners and petroleum
based surfactants. Reduce the number of chemicals and toxins that come
into direct contact with your family's skin with Watkins Natural
Liquid Laundry Detergent Concentrates.
Tips:
- Place laundry hampers in
every room where people change clothes. This will allow you to
quickly collect items when you are ready to wash.
- Clean plastic hampers
regularly with Watkins Natural All-Purpose Wipes.
- Always check clothing
labels for care instructions.
- Check and empty pockets
before putting clothing into the washer.
- Never overload your washer
or dryer.

filter between every load.
