* On Greening The Cleaning from Kathy Smith Home Owner
We love the GTC Cream Cleanser. It really does the job and isn't toxic. We were so happy that it worked great on our walls. We are planning on selling are home and thought we would have to touch up rooms and halls with paint. I thought I would try it on a mark on the walls and wow it came right off so I did several areas and it worked great. No need to paint. -Kathy Smith, Cincinnati, OH
* On Greening The Cleaning from The Linda Vista
Greening The Cleaning products are the best we've tried in 35 years of owning/running a motel. Besides being to kind to the environment, they honestly do the jobs they claim. Having a clean motel is foremost in the minds of owners; therefore, we have to have confidence in the products we use. While I make the beds my husband is cleaning the bathrooms. Each product has its own smell and color which makes it easy to grab the correct one. The soothing smells of sage, strawberry, etc are superb and is the favorite aspect of using these products. The absolutely wonderful smells radiate throughout the room and, I must admit, since using these products we have not had an argument. That alone is reason to purchase these products. Thank you again for making such a superb product. -Marje Stampfl, THE LINDA VISTA, Jackson, California

* On Greening The Cleaning from Skyway Supply
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much our customers like the new GTC Stainless Cleaner. We just signed up a medical office building and the head of maintenance told me that the cleaner they previously used on the elevators aggravated her asthma. She was thrilled to learn that our new GTC Stainless Cleaner is not petroleum based and odorless! In addition, the stuff she used to use left an oily film and would ruin her microfiber cloths. She immediately went from being skeptical of the benefits of using “green” products to becoming an advocate! -Bob Carr, President - Skyway Supply

We are also very happy that the profits from our purchases go to helping kids with cancer." -Larry Landes, President, Renewal by Anderson Windows, Cranford, NJ
* On Greening The Cleaning from Giggles Play Station
"Giggles Play Station is a 22,000 sq. foot fun center in which children can play games, adventure through the two-story jungle gym and jump up and down in our “bounce house.” Keeping our facility clean is of utmost importance to us and as a result, we have developed a reputation as “the cleanest kid’s place around.”
"It is our goal to make sure our customers can enjoy a sanitary environment, but it is even more important for them to know that the cleaning products we use are non-toxic and not harming to children’s health."
"After a long search for the right cleaning products, we came across Greening the Cleaning® from The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center®. We were fascinated by their dedication to protecting children’s health and the research they do to find the best cleansers possible. Now, when customers compliment us on our clean facility, we proudly tell them all about the Greening The Cleaning® cleansers we use." -Ray Bonacci, Owner - Giggles Play Station, Rockaway, NJ
*On Greening The Cleaning from The Humane Society of New York
"At the Humane Society of New York Clinic & Adoption Center for dogs and cats, we consider the health of our animals and the people who take care of them to be a top priority. That is why we adopted the Greening The Cleaning® program, which has received “two paws up” from the Humane Society of New York and the animal-lovers who frequent the facility.
We have been using the products since 2002 and everyone loves them. They clean very well and are easier to use than our former cleansers. The facility has a refreshing scent, which is quite an accomplishment in a building that houses an average of 250 dogs and cats at any given time. We've gotten positive feedback from customers, as well as employees.
It was very easy for us to transition into the new cleaning system because The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center® has a system in place that made the transition very easy. Since the products are not wasted, they last longer and consequently cut down on costs associated with buying additional merchandise to replenish the supply." -Sandra DeFeo, Co-Director / Director of PR, Humane Society of New York Clinic & Adoption Center, New York, NY
