FAQ's
Q. Are there any harmful additives in the chemical ingredients?
A. No, only natural ingredients. This unique Earth Friendlier range does not
contain any harmful chemicals widely used in everyday cleaners such as Hypochlorite's, EDTA's, Phosphoric, Hydrochloric or Sulphamic Acids.
We use Citric Acid which is sourced from a variety of fruits and vegetables,
most notably citrus fruits. Lemons and limes have particularly high concentrations of the acid.
