How to ‘eco-verify’ a cleaning product (without guessing)

When you’re comparing products, look for credible third-party standards instead of relying on marketing claims:

• EPA Safer Choice: helps identify products made with ingredients that meet EPA’s safer-ingredient criteria.

• Green Seal (commercial-grade): certification standards for safer, effective cleaning products.

• UL ECOLOGO: third-party certification for sustainability and human health/environmental criteria.

• EWG Guide to Healthy Cleaning: ingredient-based ratings and transparency scoring (helpful for comparisons).

Local tip for Muscatine + the Quad Cities

If you’re cleaning more often during allergy season or after a busy stretch at home or work, ventilation matters. Open windows when possible and follow label directions for safe use—especially when using disinfectants.
