SC Johnson's New Nature's Source(TM) Cleaners Make it Easy, Convenient and
Affordable
RACINE, Wis., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- While many parents are interested in
creating a natural home, an overwhelming 81 percent wish it was easier. Most
parents don't want to sacrifice convenience or effective results in the
process, and they still want to manage their budgets. When it comes to keeping
their homes clean, there's another option that washes away the dilemma -
Nature's Source(TM), a new line of natural cleaners from SC Johnson, a family
company.
"SC Johnson has a long-standing commitment to the environment and doing what's
right for future generations - and an equally long legacy of meeting families'
evolving needs," said Kelly Semrau, SC Johnson Vice President of Global Public
Affairs and Communication. "Nature's Source is our answer for those who want a
natural choice in cleaners that is widely available, affordable and gets the
job done right."
The majority of parents (62 percent) are interested in using natural cleaners
to benefit their family's health - always a top priority, but especially at
certain stages, like when a new baby comes home or children begin crawling
around the house. But 44 percent don't think that natural cleaners are as
effective as traditional cleaners. Not only are Nature's Source cleaners more
than 99 percent natural, but they also tackle tough cleaning jobs with the
power of Windex(R) and Scrubbing Bubbles(R), trusted brand names. The products
clean naturally and effectively, leaving nothing behind but a fresh scent.
Going Natural with Nature's Source
According to the Nature's Source Natural Living Survey, only 44 percent of
parents think their family is doing enough to live naturally. While they might
like to "do more," 63 percent believe it would be difficult. The top three
obstacles are:
1. They think it is too expensive (54 percent).
2. They are suffering from eco-confusion, meaning they are confused as to
what natural activities and products are effective (20 percent).
3. They think it is inconvenient to purchase the appropriate products or
tools needed (17 percent).
The Nature's Source product line is a solution for parents seeking affordable,
effective and widely available natural cleaners. The line includes the
following four cleaners:
1. Nature's Source Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner by Windex-
Safely cleans glass, mirrors, chrome fixtures, stainless steel and
more,
leaving behind a brilliant shine
2. Nature's Source Natural All-Purpose Cleaner by Scrubbing Bubbles-
Naturally tackles grease and grime on countertops, stainless steel,
appliances and more
3. Nature's Source Natural Bathroom Cleaner by Scrubbing Bubbles
-Powerfully removes tough soap scum and grime on glazed ceramic tile,
stainless steel, chrome fixtures, fiberglass and more
4. Nature's Source Natural Toilet Bowl Cleaner by Scrubbing Bubbles-
Naturally removes organic and hard water stains while deodorizing with
a
fresh scent
Families can feel good using Nature's Source cleaners because they offer an
environmentally responsible choice. In fact, all four Nature's Source products
were recently recognized for safer chemistry by the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) partnership program. In
addition, they use plant-based, biodegradable cleaners; they are sold in
recyclable bottles; ingredients are listed on the bottles; they do not contain
ammonia, bleach or phosphorus; they meet SC Johnson's stringent Greenlist(TM)
criteria for sourcing ingredients; and they are partly produced by renewable
energy from a local landfill.
Convenience and cost matter, especially to families, and Nature's Source
cleaners are as easy to find as they are on the wallet. With the
manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for Nature's Source Natural Glass
& Surface Cleaner being $3.69 and the MSRP for the Nature's Source Natural
All-Purpose, Bathroom and Toilet Bowl Cleaners being $3.49, Nature's Source
products are affordable and are available in grocery, mass merchandise, drug,
and do-it-yourself stores nationwide.
