Are you ready to make the change from toxic, petroleum-based cleaners to safer, plant-based cleaners? Orange Plus is a great place to start - it is economical, it really works, and it is safe for you and your family. The light orange scent is not overpowering or overwhelming.
This free-rinsing, phosophate-free cleaner penetrates and emulsifies hard-to-remove grease and grime. Safe to use on any washable surface, such as countertops, bathtubs and tile floors, in the shower, stovetops, painted surfaces, woodwork. Refreshing all-natural orange scent.
Ingredients: Water, pressed orange oil, ethanol (derived from corn) and biodegradable surfactants (plant deirved). Does not contain SLS.
Why We Love This:
Alline says: "Orange Plus really works. It smells great. It is plant based and it is not tested on animals. In contrast, Proctor & Gamble, which makes Mr. Clean, still tests on animals and does not list ingredients. Manufacturers of household cleansers are not required by law to list any or all of them on the packaging. No national standards exist for terms like “natural” or “non-toxic.” But I wonder what they are hiding, and prefer to go with non-toxic and non-petrochemical ingredients. As a consumer I feel that I have the responsibility to find out just who I am dealing with. To me, it feels immoral to be using animals to test the “safety” of shampoo, mascara and things like stain remover. The term “animal testing” sounds rather innocuous. But what it means is that toxins are poured onto animals' shaved, abraded skin, or squirted into animals' eyes.
The Mercantile has made a deliberate choice to carry only Cruelty-Free products.”
