GreenWorks Cleaning Products

The Good News: While doing the week's grocery shopping, I noticed Greenworks Toilet Bowl cleaner on the shelf at our local market. Their bottle states that they "believe that natural cleaning products should:
Work as well as traditional cleaners
Be made from plantand mineral based ingredients
Use biodegradable ingredients
Never be tested on animals"

Pretty exciting right? I thought so. Toilet bowl cleaner was one of the last single-use household cleaners I hadn't managed to find a cruelty-free replacement for.

The Bad News: Well, Greenworks is manufactured by Clorox - which raises some issues for me. I usually try to avoid spending my consumer dollar on any product made a company (or a branch of a parent company) that is not cruelty free 100% of the time. At the same time though I'd like to encourage the development of more animal-friendly products and if they have access to nation-wide distribution, all the better.

So...what to do?

I decided to buy it for the time being. Better a line of cleaners that have not been tested (even though their parent company does), rather than sticking with one that absolutely is. I'll keep looking for a replacement though.
