The products deliver the maximum level of efficacy at the least level of toxicity and to the greatest extent possible contain naturally-occurring, plant and mineral-based ingredients. 100% of profits from the sale of products go to The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center® for supporting the Greening The Cleaning program in addition to funding education and research to identify, control, and ultimately prevent toxic exposures in the environment that threaten our children’s health.

“By simply choosing our products, you make possible the Environmental Health Center’s program of education and action devoted to the health and well-being of children, their parents and the general public,” said Deirdre Imus, President and Founder.
