Just because a company is says a product is 'safe' or non toxic ....

does not mean that is the case.  Maybe they don't realize that some ingredients are health-hazardous.

I am looking forward to finding out what is in their general glass & all purpose cleaner 

I'm looking into IMUS cleaners, but still wonder about the solvent in it

About Imus Greening the Cleaning® products

Today's cleaning products contain many chemicals that may be harmful to your health and the health of your children. Because indoor pollutants are not as easily dispersed as outdoor pollutants, concentrations of toxic chemicals may be much greater indoors.

Health effects from some household products can be acute or chronic. Acute effects are short-term and can include such symptoms as headaches, eye and/or throat irritation, or even nausea. Acute effects also include triggering of asthma attacks or allergic reactions. Chronic effects are those long term effects such as cancer, chemicals that can affect the unborn, and neurotoxins (nervous system effects).

Did You Know?

• Indoor air is often two to five times more contaminated than outdoor air.
• Childhood asthma has nearly doubled in the last 20 years (American Lung Assoc.) and some cleaners may be triggers to asthma attacks.
• The average home contains 25 gallons of hazardous chemicals - a major portion of these can be found in household cleaning products.
• In 1999, 92% of all poisonings occurred in the home.
• Cleaning products are involved in 11% of poisoning exposure in children under 6 years of age.
• 82,000 synthetic chemicals are in production today. Many are suspected to cause cancer or other health effects, but only2% have been fully checked by the EPA for safety.

Change your perception of what "clean" is. Clean is more an absence of odor rather than a masking of odors with cleaning products. More evidence is showing that synthetic fragrances can also be asthma triggers or cause allergic-like reactions in some people.

Greening the Cleaning® means eliminating to the greatest extent possible, all cleaning agents containing hazardous ingredients and replacing them with environmentally responsible, less-toxic products that utilize natural or naturally-derived ingredients, and ingredients from renewable resources whenever possible.

The Award Winning Greening the Cleaning® products have been developed by The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology® at Hackensack University Medical Center.

Greening the Cleaning® means eliminating to the greatest extent possible, all cleaning agents containing hazardous ingredients and replacing them with environmentally friendly products that utilize natural or naturally-derived ingredients.* The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology uses the following standards, adapted from the U.S. Department of Interior’s “Guidance and Training on Greening Your Janitorial Business - Environmentally Preferable Attributes of Chemical Cleaners” and other standards as guidance, when formulating its cleaning and related products. Our products:   Must be free of any known human carcinogens, mutagens or teratogens Products must not be listed on the hazardous air pollutants list of the Environmental Protection Agency (2-butoxyethanol isn't ... since 2003 ... but it should be)  it is also a suspected teratogen ... but USA doesn't say so)

 

*While the Environmental Center strives to use only all-natural, or all naturally- derived ingredients wherever possible, effective all-natural replacements are not available for every type of cleaning product at this time. For this reason, the Environmental Center currently offers its customers two lines of products: the DIN line, which contains predominantly natural or naturally derived ingredients, and the DIC line, which contains some synthetic ingredients for which effective natural substitutes have yet to be developed. Our disinfectants and sanitizers are in the DIC line, since the effectiveness of such products at killing germs is paramount and, to our knowledge, synthetic microbicides are simply more effective than potential replacements of natural origin.
