Eco Products

Many cleaning products - such as bleach, metal polish, drain cleaner, carpet cleaner, air fresheners, dishwashing liquids, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, mothballs and spot remover - contain irritating or toxic ingredients. More and more companies are waking up to the fact that their customers prefer not to take unnecessary risks, and are beginning to produce 'green' alternatives. The same is true for many beauty products. Find out more from these useful sources:
