What happens when a chief idealist and a mad-skilled scientist decide to clean their home in an eco-friendly way? They develop their own line of green cleaning products called Better Life for a safer home and a cleaner planet. The owners Tim Barklage and Kevin Tibbs were nice enough to send me their cleaning starter kit that comes in a collapsible six-compartment bag from Green Bag America made of 100% polypropylene. It’s perfect for storage and contains four different cleaners plus biodegradable Twist Sponges. I absolutely love the whimsical labels on Better Life’s bottles, since they make cleaning fun.
The glass cleaner says “I Can See Clearly, WOW!” and that’s exactly what happened after I cleaned my windows facing a busy Avenue in Manhattan today. Their all purpose cleaner “what-EVER” performs really well and has a clean crisp smell that’s naturally scented using only essential oils of Clary Sage and Citrus. Other products include the “Simply Floored!” ready-to-use floor cleaner and the “Even the Kitchen Sink” gentle scrubber. All Better Life products have an ingredient summary on their labels that I’ve only seen on some organic or natural skincare products. It’s no surprise since Kevin Tibbs comes from a natural skin care background. I always wondered what effect touching home surfaces has on my skin and health. It’s comforting to know that all Better Life products are free of petrochemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), solvents, dyes, synthetic fragrances and other harmful substances. Welcome to a greener home!
We are very late to understanding benefits of Eco home, but now we must have to use Eco friendly products to save earth.
