WESTERVILLE, OHIO—International Executive Housekeepers Association (IEHA) announced that Clorox Commercial Solutions Green Works Concentrated Cleaners from Clorox Professional Products Company have been recognized as High Performance Cleaning Products (HPCP).
HPCP is a voluntary, fee-based program which tests green product performance on real-world soils. To be approved for the IEHA HPCP program, a product must perform exceedingly well on more than one type of dirt and soil as determined by the Toxic Use Reduction Institute (TURI) Lab at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. During testing, it was proven that Clorox Commercial Solutions Green Works All Purpose Cleaner, Green Works Bathroom Cleaner and Green Works Glass Cleaner were effective and performed equal to or better than comparative products tested.
“In addition to testing the supplied products, the evaluation compared Green Works Concentrated Cleaners to traditional cleaning products typically used for the various applications,” said Jason Marshall, ScD and Laboratory Director for TURI. “To be considered for the HPCP program, the products must work as well as or better than traditional products. Green Works Concentrated Cleaners meet those requirements for all-purpose, bathroom and glass cleaning.”
Almost Entirely All-Natural
Green Works Concentrated Cleaners is a line of cleaning products specially designed for cleaning professionals that are 99 percent naturally derived. Made with plant-based, biodegradable cleaning ingredients, the commercial products clean without harsh fumes or residues, and are never tested on animals.
“Green Works Concentrated Cleaners were designed to provide professionals with high-performing naturally derived cleaning products they could rely on,” said Heather Day, scientist, The Clorox Company. “We’re pleased to receive our validation on our products’ performance from a credible third party laboratory such as TURI, as well as the HPCP recognition from IEHA.”
TURI Lab testing involves rigorous scientific testing. “For the TURI Lab methods, efficacy was determined by weighing surface materials before and after cleaning to determine the amount of soil removed,” explained Marshall. “In addition to weighing, by measuring the color of the surface prior to cleaning (after soiling and after cleaning), the amount of soil removed was related to the change in color of the surface. The closer to the original level, the better the cleaning performance of Green Works Concentrated Cleaners was, proving its top-notch performance.”
