Beware of the Green-Washed, Snake-Oil Salesmen

Green Cleaning is a hot topic lately, as it should be, there are huge benefits to making the switch to green cleaning. Committing to green cleaning means that you’re putting your health and environment first and there are benefits for all involved. However, some less than honorable companies are taking advantage of this trend by advertising themselves as “green”, when they are not. These companies are modern-day snake-oil salesmen, saying anything to close the deal and breaking the consumer trust in the market.

Consumers have to be wary and on the lookout for companies looking to make a quick buck off of the green cleaning movement. There are so many green-washed charlatans that it can be hard for a consumer to know their legitimacy. It’s important to Oxi-Thyme that our customers have full confidence in our knowledge, professionalism, and services. That’s why Oxi-Thyme is IJSCA certified. IJSCA members have to renew every year to stay up to date on the latest information and international green cleaning requirements. Oxi-Thyme’s customers can rest easy knowing they’re with the best.

Green Cleaning is challenging everything about the modern-day cleaning industry. Why do we have to use caustic and toxic chemicals to clean our homes and businesses? Why do our products HAVE to have these terrible ingredients that destroy our bodies and the environment?

Isn’t there a better way to clean that solves all of this? Yes! That’s why green cleaning is the way of a more conscious future. Oxi-Thyme’s proprietary blend of CDC approved Hydrogen Peroxide and Thyme oil is an environmentally safe alternative to traditional cleaning methods

and eliminates the need for our customers to be continuously exposed to toxic carcinogens that affect their lungs and health.

Consumers should beware of dubious and too good to be true companies that proclaim to be “green cleaning certified”. You can easily search for a certified green cleaning professional by using the IJSCA Green Cleaning Directory for a provider in your area.
