Green Works™ products frequently asked questions

  • Q. Where can I find Green Works™ products?

    A. Look for them in the cleaning aisle at all major stores where cleaning products are sold.

  • Q. What does natural mean? Are Green Works™ products 100% natural?

    A. Currently, there is no industry standard definition for natural cleaners. To create Green Works™ natural cleaners we set ourselves a very stringent standard. The ingredients must come from renewable resources, be biodegradable and free of petrochemicals. Green Works™ cleaners are at least 99% natural. In certain cases we had to use synthetic ingredients, like the preservative and green colorant. But we're working hard to develop natural alternatives so the entire line can be 100% natural.

  • Q. What does biodegradable mean?

    A. A biodegradable material is something that has the ability to safely and relatively quickly break down biological into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment. All Green Works® products are readily biodegradable according to EU Detergents Directive, reference EC 648/2004.

  • Q. Are Green Works® products safe for septic and grey water systems?

    A. Yes. All Green Works® products are readily biodegradable according to EU Detergents Directive, reference EC 648/2004.

  • Q. What does Dermatologist Tested mean?

    A. Dermatologist Tested means that a dermatologist conducted testing on products to determine if the products are less likely to cause any negative reaction. Green Works® Natural Multi Purpose Cleaner and Green Works® Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner were both dermatologist tested.

  • Q. Do Green Works® products disinfect?

    A. Not yet. But our scientists are focused on evaluating natural disinfecting ingredients. We hope to incorporate disinfecting into Green Works® cleaners in the future.

  • Q. Is Clorox merely jumping on the green bandwagon?

    A. 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 work as well as traditional cleaners. 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.
