Tibbs, a chemist who formulated products for mega-retailers like Target, The Home Depot, and Bed, Bath & Beyond, specialized in natural skin-care lines, so he was very familiar with the green movement. When he became a father and began baby-proofing his home, he grew increasingly conscious of mainstream cleaning products’ dangers. Partnering with marketing and product-development specialist Barklage to create an eco-friendly cleaning line was a no-brainer. Barklage, in fact, had grown up in a green home long before it was fashionable. That’s how St. Louis-based Better Life was born—a company determined to provide green cleaning options for moms and dads, as well as “Mom Earth.” Products are free of sulfates, ethoxylates, fragrances, dyes, solvents, silicones, petroleum-based ingredients and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like glycol ethers and alcohols. Biodegradability is a high priority, and ingredients come from natural sources. Better Life’s brightly labeled, cleverly named products include: Organic consumers can find these green cleaners at Whole Foods Market and Ace Hardware. You may also purchase them online at Walgreens and drugstore.com. Sign up for the company’s newsletter and receive a $10 coupon toward the Better Life Starter Kit, which contains four products in a collapsible cleaning caddy.

Just in time for the holidays, I’ve launched my GREEN CAR CLEANING line available now at Sam's Club! After working on this for months with my team, it is finally live thank goodness! Over the next 6 days I will be featuring a new product in our line on our blog.

To get started the Laura Klein Green Car Cleaning Kit is something we created especially for Sam's Club, that allows you to wash your car without water!

This kit makes a great gift for the guy or gal who has it all and wants to go green this holiday season. The Laura Klein's Green Car Cleaning Kit includes: 1. Waterless Car Wash & Shine: Wash your car without water! Contains: purified water, citrus distillate, emulsifier, pure orange essential oil; 32 oz. bottle 2. Glass & Mirror: Clean your windows in your car and home without ammonia or smelly fumes! (See below for more details); Contains: purified water, coconut-based cleaning agents, pine-based cleaning agents, chelating agents; 32 oz. bottle 3. Tire & Dash Dressing: Conditions, protects and restores natural suppleness and beauty to rubber, vinyl and leather and provides long-lasting protection and shine. (See below for more details); Contains: purified water, polymer leveling agents, nonionic surfactant, pure orange essential oil; 32 oz. bottle 4. Two soft microfiber clothes Price: $29.64 This kit literally saves you money, time and water on expensive car washes, increased water bills and wasted gallons of water at home. You'll also help the environment clean when you purchase our 1 gallon refills for your new kit. The Waterless Car Wash product literally helps keep the environment clean because you are not washing oils, heavy metals, fuels or detergents into our oceans, streams, rivers and environment! I'm proud to say that my Green Car line is a GREAT VALUE as compared to other green car cleaning lines. While other green product manufacturers claim their product is toxin-free, a closer look reveals synthetic fragrances that are a danger to your family, pets and the Earth. Every one of my products is made from sustainable, biodegradable ingredients (that biodegrade within seven days, the biological optimum) and we only use 100% aromatherapeutic essential oils. I created these products because in my home consultation work, I saw the need for real green cleaning that is not only effective but truly non toxic.  This car line is part of my overall GREEN CLEANING LINE. In the coming months we will be launching our GREEN HOME CLEANING LINE. I've long been an advocate of non-toxic, cleaning green. It's such a thrill to be bringing my message to the masses with my new product!]]> http://www.organicauthority.com/blog/the-environment/wash-your-car-without-water-this-holiday-season/feed/ 6
