Eco-friendly cleaning has become a real priority for many homes and businesses, but the label isn't always regulated. Here's what to actually look for.

Look past the word natural

It isn't a regulated term. Instead, look for actual certifications like Green Seal or EcoLogo, which require third-party testing.

Check for fragrance transparency

Products that list fragrance as a single ingredient can hide dozens of undisclosed chemicals. Fragrance-free or clearly listed essential oil scents are a better sign.

Biodegradability matters

Genuinely eco-friendly cleaners break down without leaving harmful residue in waterways.

Effectiveness still counts

An eco-friendly product that doesn't actually clean well just means more product used, which defeats the purpose.

At A&B Cleaner, we use eco-friendly products across our residential and commercial services wherever they meet the job's performance needs.
