Where does Clorox Stand?

Just because it’s convenient doesn’t mean it is safe or better for the environment. Take this commercial below.

So what Clorox is saying, every time you clean your toilet you have waste from the scrub pad? How is that eco-friendly? And not to mention the cleaning agents in the brush itself. Now Clorox has done other things that are environmentally friendly. With their all natural cleaning agents they have on the market now, but isn’t the cleaning wand system sort of hypocritical of the company. They want to be eco-friendly with their products in one direction, but appealing to the other group that wants convenience. Natural and Sustainable would like to see Clorox lean one way or the other. You can’t lean both ways without someone wondering where you stand firmly on. So Clorox, are you eco-friendly or are you just trying to appeal to everyone to make the buck?

Clorox is among one of the very first companies to come out with chlorine bleach and with that they are still going strong, but I have yet to see Clorox come out with an eco-smart bleach, such as hydrogen peroxide with maybe some essential oils added? Or how about an eco-friendly version of their cleaning wipes?

I am not saying Clorox isn’t a good company and they have stayed ahead of the competition with their cleaning convenience, but it just seems strange they are pushing the Green Works cleaners and with the buying of the Burt’s Bees company for $925 Million. I just hope this isn’t the Clorox Company’s way of banking on the mighty “green” dollar.
