Put to the Test: Green Cleaning Products

Eco-friendly products are readily available in stores nationwide, but are they worth all the hype? We tested 25 popular green cleaning products--from detergents to toothpaste--to find out which ones worked well and which ones we’d rather leave on the shelf.

Clorox Green Works Cleaner

Why it’s green: This all-purpose cleaner is 99% natural and made from plant and mineral-based ingredients.

What we thought: "I really like this product. It did the same quality level of cleaning (as far as I can tell) without leaving any kind of a bleach/chemical/toxic smell. I’m not going to lie: I’ve been hardwired to equate ‘bleachy chemical smell’ with ‘clean,’ but I’m working to break away from that. This one just smells nice, and I could read all the ingredients on the back without trouble."
