The natural cleaning products industry is chock full of products that allege to be clean and green, but which ones actually contain ingredients that are healthy, safe and effective? One company, Greenology, has devoted itself to creating household products that are organically-grown, free of hazardous ingredients and safe for the environment.

Greenology is the only company that produces both consumer and commercial cleaning products that are USDA Certified Organic. Part of the company’s mission statement includes producing products that are safe for “People, Pets and our precious Planet”, and it does this by creating food-grade organic cleaning formulations that are non-toxic, hypo-allergenic and effective.

The Greenology company was birthed out of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. Its safe, oil-removing formulations were used to clean sea otters, harbor seals, birds and other animal life that were harmed by the spill. From there, the company decided to create products for the everyday consumer to use that are safe and that raise standards in the industry.

“Greenology and GreenShield cleaners represent a new and safer standard in green cleaning that meet rigid government standards and address an important need that average green cleaners in the marketplace do not – the ability for consumers and commercials customers to ‘Kill Odor Causing Bacteria’ with a proven and safe cleaner. USDA Certified Organic is the gold standard as far as green claims go,” explained Shanna Redkey, Director of Marketing, concerning the company’s products.

One of the primary differences between Greenology’s products and its competitors’ offerings is that Greenology is the only company that is able to make “kill claims” about its products. While other natural cleaning products may seem to be effective at cleaning, there are no other brands, especially organic brands, that claim to be capable of killing mold, bacteria and odor-causing bacteria.
