What's the difference between Green and Organic Cleaning Products?
The terms Green and Organic are often used interchangeably, and the result can be confusing for consumers trying to make sense of labels and ingredients from all the new entrants to the cleaning products category over the past few years. A "Green" product, by definition, merely needs to meet the government's minimum criteria to be deemed VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) compliant, and is often merely a stripped down version of other chemical solutions, and often contains traces of toxic chemicals or other harsh ingredients. An "Organic" cleaning solution is derived from raw materials that are cultivated and produced from naturally occurring ingredients, and are built from the ground up, not stripped down. Organic products are 100% non-toxic, biodegradable, contain no harsh chemicals or fumes, are non-caustic, and are never tested on animals.What's an MSDS sheet?
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document containing data on the properties of a particular substance, in our case, cleaning solutions. It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill handling procedures. Our organic cleaning solutions contain the safest MSDS ratings on the market today.Do you use enzymes?
Developed on the same scientific principles as agricultural products, Granny's Green Apple Organic Solutions use an intricate system of natural enzymes, biocatalysts, biopolymers and good microbes to defeat the bad. They are safe to use, packaged in convenient sizes and non-aerosol dispensers, and best of all, can be trusted to work on any regular surface.Why micro-fiber?
Micro-fiber is like a magnet to dirt, dust, grime and liquids: as it moves across a surface, the gaps between the microfilaments "scoop up", or hook, dirt particles, capturing them between the splits of the micro-fiber. Instead of the particles sticking outside the fiber (typical with most cleaning cloths), these particles are now pulled inside the micro-fibers. Instead of the particles sticking outside the fiber (typical with most cleaning cloths), these particles are now sucked up inside the micro-fibers. Micro-Fiber can absorb up to 7 times it's weight in water (meaning less cleaning solution can be used to clean the same surface area as before), it is far more durable than cotton and terry, and unlike competing products, it will not lint.What's the difference between a regular and an anti-microbial micro-fiber towel?
Our anti-microbial micro-fiber towel has been treated with a microbe shield process that covalently bonds millions of tiny micro-spears to the micro-fibers in the towel or mop head. These micro-spears are capable of piercing single cell microorganisms. Unlike chemically treated anti-microbial towels, which lose their effectiveness with repeated washes and can lead to stronger bugs, our towels work using a physical process, and thus are far more durable and effective at killing harmful organisms and preventing the development of super bugs. Our anti-microbial micro-fiber products will not carry live single cell organisms, thus preventing the transfer of mold, mildew and odor causing bacteria from one surface to another, making it the most sanitary way to clean your home, school, hospital, or other facility.Why are your micro-fiber mop heads and micro-fiber towels color coded?
Our towels and mop-heads are color coded to help both cleaning service companies and consumers keep better track of where and how particular micro-fiber products are used, and with which cleaning solutions. This is important in helping to maintain a safe workplace or home, and helps dramatically lower the likelihood of cross contamination, which is a known problem with cotton loop mops still in use today.
