Q. Where can I find Green Works® products?
A. Look for them in the cleaning aisle of your local supermarket or variety store.
-
Q. What does natural mean? Are Green Works® products 100% natural?
A. Currently, there is no industry standard definition for natural cleaners. To create Green Works® natural cleaners we set ourselves a very stringent standard. The ingredients must come from renewable resources, be biodegradable and free of petrochemicals. Green Works® cleaners are at least 99% natural. In certain cases we had to use synthetic ingredients, like the preservative and green colorant. But we're working hard to develop natural alternatives so the entire line can be 100% natural.
-
Q. What does biodegradable mean?
A. A biodegradable material is something that has the ability to safely and relatively quickly break down biological into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment. All Green Works® products are readily biodegradable according to Australian Standard 4351 Part 2 helping to minimise the impact on the environment.

Q. Are Green Works® products safe for septic and grey water systems?

-
Q. What does Dermatologist Tested mean?
A. Dermatologist Tested means that a dermatologist conducted testing on products to determine if the products are less likely to cause any negative reaction. Green Works® Natural Multi Purpose Cleaner and Green Works® Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner were both dermatologist tested.
-
Q. Do Green Works® products disinfect?
A. Not yet. But our scientists are focused on evaluating natural disinfecting ingredients. We hope to incorporate disinfecting into Green Works® cleaners in the future.
-
Q. Is Clorox merely jumping on the green bandwagon?
A. We've been working on natural products for the past 5 years. We set ourselves a difficult task—to set the standard for natural cleaning and create products that really work! We are fully committed to continuing to develop natural products that continue to set the standard for natural.

Q. What does the National Asthma Council Australia and the Asthma Foundation New Zealand 'Sensitive Choice' logo on Green Works® cleaners mean?
A. The National Asthma Council Australia and the Asthma Foundation New Zealand developed a program to help Australians and New Zealanders with asthma and allergies. With over 2.2 million Australians having asthma and 40% of the population suffering from allergies, the Sensitive Choice program helps sufferers easily identify products that may reduce asthma and allergy triggers. It is represented by a butterfly to help consumers easily identify products and services that may reduce asthma and allergy triggers. Green Works® is the only range of liquid cleaners accepted by the National Asthma Council Australia and the Asthma Foundation New Zealand as a Sensitive Choice partner.
