Dear Andy,

Thank you for your question! As you may know, GreenItUp! uses only homemade, non-toxic cleaners. Our products are made from completely harmless items such as vinegar, lemon juice, etc.. So, as you say, “no business” between us is possible. As for your suggestion that perhaps “friendship do exist,” I have a few things for you to consider. Do friends cause burns or blindness? Can friendship give you cancer? If we hang out, could water systems be degraded? Will our friendship make it hard for me to breathe? Because all of the items you are trying to interest me in do just these things. Therefore, I do not believe friendship do exist. You may be able to have business and friendship with most other cleaning manufacturers and maid companies, though, as they commonly use the items that you mentioned.

Happy Cleaning!

When choosing an ingredient for cleaning, it is important to know whether you need an acid (low pH) or base (neutral to high pH). So a very quick chemistry lesson couldn’t hurt.

Acid Cleaners

lemon juice, olive oil, club soda, vinegar

Acids are best on:

rust, soap scum, water spots, mirrors, windows

Base Cleaners

Soap, baking Soda, Borax, Washing Soda

Bases are best on:

body oil, food stains, general dirt and grime

Combining a base and an acid is great for cleaning in your kitchen and bathroom where you have multiple offenders.
