CleanSmart Provides Household Cleaning Without Harmful Chemicals

Think about all the cleaning products you have stocked in your house at any given time. You've got glass cleaners, surface cleaners, disinfectants, and all sorts of specialized product for a given job. All of those take up space in your home, and all of those have dangerous chemicals that need to be kept away from children. Even when using a product as directed, you have to be careful not to swallow, inhale, or sometimes even touch it. Doing any of those is a health risk. Wouldn't it be nice to have an alternative that not only covers multiple jobs, but did so using a safer product mixture?


Instead of relying on various hazardous mixtures to clean and kill germs, CleanSmart products use a special ionizing process to a blend of water and salt. The result is a natural chemical called hypochlorous that kills germs and bacteria while remaining safe for human contact. How safe? The same mixture doubles as a hand cleanser!

In addition, CleanSmart is naturally moisturizing with none of the ethyl alcohol found in some hand sanitizers. It has no scent, sparing you the fumes of other household cleaners, and is safe for use on food contact surfaces. CleanSmart does not leave residue and can be either wiped or air dried. It doesn't even need lengthy first aid information! With one product capable of many other cleaners and sanitizers, why not save space while making your home a little safer?

Keeping the Classroom Clean

When teachers and schools are planning for class to be back in session, the priority is often on educational items- school supplies, writing utensils, art supplies, and other classroom essentials. It's not enough. Because just as a classroom is a place for learning, it's also an environment where both children and teachers are hard at work. That means keeping the room clean can be an ongoing battle, and not every mess can wait for the custodian.


The standard tool in the arsenal is the paper towel. Spills involving all sorts of liquids from milk to paint are inevitable. Yet how often are the closest towels thin brown restroom towels designed for hand drying? Keeping a roll in every classroom handy will allow messes to be absorbed quickly and activities to continue with limited interruption.


In addition, with dozens of children in the room, hands are bound to become dirty and the risk of spreading germs is high. At the first sign of a dirty surface, having disinfectant handy will reduce the spread of germs and provide for a cleaner, healthier classroom. Many cleaning wipes also include disinfectants in their formulas, so it's a simple matter of wiping down the surface.

Finally, another recommendation for the classroom to avoid germs is hand sanitizer. Keep some around for both personal use and for the class to share in order to keep kids healthy and promote good hygiene.

Prevent Your Office's Deepwater Horizon

I can't imagine many offices (if any) around the world have an issue with large holes in the ground that are constantly leaking oil, but every office has a leak or spill of some kind that they need cleaned up.  Whether you splash some shredder oil, dump out some Yoohoo, or accidentally bleed on the floor, somebody will have to clean it up, and there isn't always an easy way to clean up that liquid.


GreenSorb is a product that we had demoed and we were blown away.  The product is a high efficiency absorbent.  Click the bottle above and check out the video for it.  The demonstration is compelling, and even thought they really only show it working on motor oil, it will work on just about any liquid, semi-liquid, or gooey substance you throw at it.  It would do wonders for taking care of those odd liquids that always seem to collect in the back of your fridge, that gunk that sits in the bottom of your trash can, or that weird stuff that leaked in your house off the air conditioner.  GreenSorb is available in 2.4 or 4 pound shaker bottles for smaller jobs, a 20 pound box for larger problems, and a 25 pound bucket for people who are just plain messy.

Unfortunately, the people who supply GreenSorb know that there product, while great for household cleanups and some larger scale operations, isn't a solution for a problem like the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill down in the Gulf of Mexico.  GreenSorb is an equal opportunity absorber, so it will absorb ocean water as well as oil and once it has absorbed water and/or oil it would promptly sink to the bottom of the ocean where it can not be properly disposed of.  Even though you don't need to attempt to pick GreenSorb from the ocean floor, you should take care when disposing of if.  When you use it to absorb any kind of chemical you should still treat the GreenSorb with the same precautions you would with the original chemical.  Your city, state, or county may have special rules for disposing of potentially toxic waste, but most just suggest you wrap it up in two plastic bags and put it in your normal trash.


If you are cleaning up some kind of nasty bodily fluid you'll still want to have a good kit on hand so you have a good supply of rubber gloves and other precautionary measures.  If you are cleaning up some fairly standard oily mess you should be fine just a broom and dustpan.  If you are cleaning up spilled Yoohoo you'll need to be prepared for the emotional distress caused by the waste of even a drop of that delicious, calcium rich, chocolaty drink.
