The “green cleaning” category on ShopCleaningSupplies.com has all the environmentally friendly cleaning supplies and janitorial products you need. We carry a large variety of products that are eco-friendly, safe and biodegradable. Even the product containers are often made from recycled materials!

Using green cleaning products makes sense for many reasons. These products preserve our natural resources and provide increased safety for those using them. Green cleaning supplies and green janitorial products are two of the fastest growing product categories of our business. Many customers purchase all-purpose green cleaners, green bathroom cleaning products and green kitchen cleaning products for home, business or industrial use. In the cleaning business and other industries, more and more people are purchasing all-natural, environmentally friendly products. We've assembled our “green cleaning” product line to meet this demand, but more importantly, because it is the right thing to do.

Green cleaning products are good for the health of people who use them as well as the health of our planet. While all cleaning products must be strong enough to destroy dirt and germs, green cleaning products are designed to produce outstanding cleaning results and be biodegradable and environmentally responsible. Homeowners and business owners alike are increasingly looking for highly effective cleaning products which are safe for the environment. ShopCleaningSupplies.com offers green cleaning products that actually clean and are formulated with non-toxic, biodegradable, bleach-free ingredients.

Name a type of cleaning product, and we have an environmentally friendly alternative! We have green laundry detergents, green window and glass cleaners, green hand soaps, all-purpose green cleaning kits, micro fiber cleaning supplies and green mops and green mop systems made from recycled PET plastic bottles.

We have environmentally friendly green floor cleaning products, green carpet cleaning products, HEPA vacuums which reduce dust and germs, and a bagless HEPA upright vacuum. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters capture fine particles as tiny as 0.3 microns in size, helping reduce dust and other allergens. With bagless vacuums, you do not even have to buy and discard filters!

Our paper supplies are perfect for green living. We have recycled paper supplies (all of which are made from recycled paper), including: recycled facial tissues, recycled paper napkins, recycled paper towels and recycled trash bags. We even carry toilet paper made from recycled paper.

For environmentally friendly restaurants and food service businesses, we carry a great assortment of green restaurant and food service products. We offer cutlery, knives, forks, and spoons made from recycled materials, plus paper bowls, paper cups and paper plates, all made from recycled paper. We offer many additional green restaurant and food service supplies.

Green disinfectant deodorizers get the job done, yet have formulas that are natural and earth-friendly. These products usually include lemon, orange and other natural scents.

  • Clorox Green Works™ Natural All-Purpose Cleaner

Olive Oil In Your Beauty Routine?

Olive Oil In Your Beauty Routine?

by: Melissa Eaton

We all know that olive oil is wonderful and healthy for us to cook with, but what about its other uses? Truthfully, olive oil is another main ingredient in several beauty products you can buy on the shelf. See for yourself how you can make your own skin cocktails and save a little money at the same time.

 

 

1. A mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup vinegar, & 1/4 cup water used as a night cream will make your skin glow. The olive oil softens and moisturizes and the vinegar lightens discolorations, kills bacteria and loosens dead skin cells. Splash water on your face before applying.

 

2. Olive oil can be used as cleansing cream if your skin is dry.

 

3. For a facial, wet face thoroughly, then massage olive oil into your skin. Use about a half teaspoon of sugar and scrub your face with that, then wipe off gently with a warm, wet cloth until the sugar is all gone.

 

4. Use olive oil on your feet with clean white cotton socks. Helps to soften up you feet and it absorbs better than baby oil.

 

5. It seems when you pour olive oil out there is always a drip, so wipe it up with your hand and rub it in to your elbows. Wonderful softening properties.

 

6. Use olive oil as bath oil. Two to three tablespoons will do the trick.

 

7. Use olive oil for your hair. Not only does it condition, but it also gets rid of the frizz. Put a small drop into your palm & then rub both hands together & apply it to dry hair.

 

 

Just a few of the many creative uses for olive oil in your skin care routine. Not only is it cheap, but it will go alot further than most products you can buy. Have fun and be creative.

 
 
 

   
Natural Beauty Tips Part 5

The Secret to Perfect Summer Legs

Safflower Oil

 

If you don't know a penta-peptide from an antioxidant and frankly don't care -- you just want your gator-dry legs to be soft and silky-smooth -- look no farther than your kitchen. The answer lies in that bottle of safflower oil sitting on the shelf. This polyunsaturated oil, beloved by cardiologists for being good for your heart, is just as good for your skin, but from the outside in.

 

The oil, which is pressed from the seeds of spiky yellow safflowers, is a super moisturizer. "That's because it's very high in linoleic acid, a fatty acid that skin normally makes to keep its moisture level up and barrier function intact," says New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler, MD, RealAge's skin expert. Since our body's linoleic acid production gets sluggish as we age, it helps to replace it from the outside.

 
"In theory, you could use olive oil too, which is also high in linoleic acid, but you'd smell like a salad!" Wechsler says. Along with being odorless, safflower oil has the advantages of being colorless and cheap. And that's not all. Safe enough for sensitive skin, it's so gentle that it's massaged into newborn babies' skin at some hospitals.

Although this natural oil is one of Wechsler's favorite treatments for dry lower legs, where flakiness can be especially persistent, you can use it body-wide -- though not when you're in a mad rush, as it takes time to soak in. "Smooth it on immediately after a bath or shower to seal in the moisture your skin has just absorbed. You can even apply it on your face, as long you don't get it into your eyes; stop a bit below the lower lid."


If you're not sure about moisturizing with pure cooking oil (and the beauty industry sincerely hopes you aren't), you can find safflower oil in moisturizers, lip balms, and scrubs. "Look for a product that lists it among the first three ingredients, which means it contains a high concentration of the oil," says Dr. Wechsler.

 

Otherwise, just pour some safflower oil into a pretty little squeeze bottle and add it to your toiletries. No one will ever guess you cook with it too. And your legs will look amazing.

 
 
   
 

Natural Beauty Tips Part 2

Avocado, Banana and Orange Oil

Hippocrates once said the natural way is the only way. As we venture into the new millennium, many people are moving toward the natural lifestyle recommended by the Father of Medicine thousands of years ago. Organic foods are becoming increasingly available and consumed. Various alternative therapies including Reiki, Breath work and Acupuncture are quickly emerging as alternatives to more traditional allopathic medical treatments. Often, people become so harried trying to naturally achieve and maintain balance within their core that they forget to take care of their shell.

 The following recipes are designed to combat the ill effects of harsh winter weather on your face, hair, lips and body, without costing a fortune, or requiring hours of hunting down ingredients and making concoctions. (Each recipe has only three steps!)

On your next trip to the food market, you will need to buy the following items:

  • 1 Avocado - contains Vitamins A, C, and E, iron, potassium, niacin, pantothenic acids; unsaturated fatty acids stimulate the skins production of natural oil
  • 2 Small bananas - contain tryptophan, an amino acid, potassium, and Vitamins A, B, C and E which restore the elasticity of the hair
  • 1 small bottle Olive oil - Hippocrates called olive oil the great therapeutic; provides sunscreen protection, absorbing 20% of the suns rays
  • Orange essential oil - soothes and restores the spirit; is a skin conditioner and soothing agent
  • 1 brick of beeswax - melting point is 145 F; natural animal wax from the comb of the honey bee; works as a binder and protective barrier from wind and sun

Face

Tropical Citrus Mask
If you want to avoid lots of clean up, before applying this mask cover your face with cheesecloth (with holes cut out for eyes and mouth).

  • Mix together: 1 ripe banana, 1 tsp. Olive oil, 1 drop Orange essential oil.
  • Smooth over face and leave on for 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Rinse off with tepid water. Smooth on a rich moisturizer.

Hair

Mayan Hair Mask
Ancient Mayan Inca and Aztec women believed that avocados fed the skin from the inside and outside. Make sure you save the avocado pit, setting it in a place where it can dry out.

  • Mix together:  ripe avocado, 1 tbsp. olive oil, small banana and 1 egg yolk.
  • Gently massage onto hair and scalp and cover with a shower cap.
  • Leave on 1 hour and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Shampoo as usual.

Lips

Honey Orange Lip Balm
If you like your lip balm to have a thinner, glossier consistency, use more olive oil. If you like a thicker, creamier feel, use less.

  • Heat 2 tbsp. Chopped beeswax in a double boiler until melted. Remove from heat. Slowly pour cup olive oil into beeswax and stir to mix.
  • Add 1 tbsp. honey and 5 drops Orange essential oil. Stir continuously to mix until cool.
  • Pour into a clean container with a lid. Tightly seal.

Body

Avocado & Banana Scrub
The pit of the avocado needs to be dried for 3 - 5 days before it can be ground for this recipe.

  • Grind dried avocado pit until pieces are very fine (placing it in a sealed plastic bag and hammering it will work). Mix with banana and olive oil to make a thick paste.
  • Rub gently over skin - do not use too much pressure, as the pit will naturally exfoliate!
  • Rinse off in a warm shower.

Minerals for Life™ water-soluble Germanium is a dietary supplement containing elemental germanium.

Germanium is an element that is structured to act as a semiconductor as it accepts and transmits electrons.* It was discovered by a German scientist, Clemens Winkler, in 1886. It is closely related to the elements carbon and silica. In human biology germanium is highly efficient as an intracellular electrical impulse initiator.* It helps correct distortions in the electrical aggregate of the human body and is a metallic cofactor for oxygen utilization.*

Germanium is necessary for the optimum nutrition of the human body. This element has an amazing capacity to raise the level of activity of various organs by enabling them to attract more oxygen.* Germanium supports the body’s natural defense system.*

“The holy waters at Lourdes, known worldwide for their healing properties, contain large amounts of germanium,” according to Dr. Joel Wallach in Rare Earth. Germanium is necessary in maintaining a strong immune system. Dr. Azuhiko Asai of Tokyo, Japan, discovered the nutritional properties of germanium and suggested a link between the enhanced beneficial qualities of herbs containing high levels of germanium.

Germanium is still being researched for all of its possible supplementary applications. Germanium improves oxygen flow to tissues, and it’s believed that this alone is a major part of why it is such a dynamic element.* Improved oxygen flow to tissues boosts circulation, which improves stamina and endurance.* Germanium supports increased oxygen levels for optimum health.*

Studies have also indicated antioxidant properties for germanium, which help in the removal of free radicals.*

Germanium promotes healthy oxygen flow to tissues and normal functioning of immune cells.* It promotes ease of joint movement, the formation and maintenance of strong bones, the inhibition of free radicals, and proper cell replication.* A proper balance of germanium helps to maintain the body’s immune status and maintain the electrical and physical integrity of the heart.* It also promotes ease of joint movement, long-term mental alacrity, and healthy arteries, tissues, and organs.*

* This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
