What those labels rarely mention is what is actually inside the bottle and what it leaves behind long after the surface looks clean.

It is one of the most persistent myths in the cleaning industry — that going green means accepting a lesser clean. It is time to put that idea to rest for good. A neatly arranged shelf displaying various cleaning supplies. For years, the assumption has been simple: the stronger the smell, the harder it works. If it does not burn your eyes a little, it probably is not doing much. This belief is so deeply ingrained that many people genuinely hesitate before switching to green c
