But it is irritating to eyes and therefore must carry a cautionary statement to that effect, much like the many shampoos, face washes and body washes that are slathered all over folks' heads and bodies every day. I prefer a stiff brush and a bar of lye soap.
Since we don't know if you want to use our product to clean a china cup or an automobile, we give measurement in "parts" so that you can make an appropriate volume of cleaning solution. They still are. Call me biased, but I think it's pretty simple. If you are off by a bit, you are not going to damage anything. You might waste a little money if you use too much Simple Green, or you might have to use a little more elbow grease to get your item clean if you use too much water, but you won't destroy anything if your mixture is a little too rich or thin.
Although Simple Green will not always break apart complex clogs that contain a variety of things hair, food, grease, etc. Or, mix the dilution in a bucket, mop the floor, and then pour the bucket down the sink drain. You may need to have a drain-sieve in place when you do this. A good regular maintenance tip is to plug the sink, fill the sink with hot water and add 1 cup Simple Green for small sinks bathrooms or 2 cups for large sinks kitchen , and then wearing a rubber glove to protect from the hot water, unplug the sink and let the mixture flow down the drain.
Regular maintenance of drains can greatly diminish or eliminate clogging problems. What is the fragrance in Simple Green?
Simple Green is scented with synthetic sassafras - a clean, licorice-type herbal scent. Can I mix Simple Green with bleach or ammonia? First, mixing bleach or ammonia with Simple Green just detracts from the positive qualities of the chemicals - bleach won't whiten or disinfect as well, ammonia won't clean as well, Simple Green won't clean or deodorize as well.
You will get better results when using Simple Green separately from bleach - or from ammonia. Can Simple Green be disposed of down storm drains?
The Clean Water Act of protects surface water and groundwater quality by forbidding putting any foreign material down storm drains. Do not dispose of degreasing rinseates into or near storm drains. Just don't leave standing puddles of Simple Green that pets or wild animals could drink - - as it could give them diarrhea. What are the ingredients in Simple Green? Simple Green is a blend of water, surfactant surface-active agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, color and scent.
Surfactant agents lift grease and oil up off of the surface, wetting agents help Simple Green penetrate soils, and emulsifiers put those soils into solution so that they can be washed away. Why aren't the ingredients listed on the label? Simple Green is non-toxic.
Therefore, the listing of ingredients on the label is not required by law. Simple Green's unique formula is protected under the US Trade Secrecy Act and has been extensively tested to verify the product's credentials. Simple Green complies with all current labeling requirements for ingredient disclosure on cleaning products. If you have an allergy, medical reason, or technical reason for wanting to know if Simple Green contains a particular item, please contact us at YEL-DAWG and we will help you as best we can.
What type of packaging does Simple Green use? For many years as our company grew, it was impossible for the switch from less environmentally-responsible PVC Polyvinyl Chloride to readily recyclable PETE to occur because our volume did not warrant a share of the PETE market that would be economically feasible for our company and our customers.
However, our volume has grown to the point where we can now command more of the market share of PETE and still continue to offer our customers and attractive purchase price and hit a profit point to stay in business. We will continue moving more of our products into PETE in addition to searching for more packaging that utilizes post-consumer recycled plastic or source-reduced plastic. Just how toxic is 2-butoxyethanol, though?
The assessment report that EC got has quite an extensive section on toxicity testing, which I'll try my best to summarize here. These effects reversed themselves once the dose was stopped and the body cleared itself of 2-butoxyethanol. To be pessimistic, we'll take the rat dose as being the dose at which the red blood cell count starts to be affected, and use an average adult human body weight of 62kg.
This works out to 0. Since Simple Green is 3. Note that this is pessimistic; the rats were by far the most sensitive of the animals tested, and test-tube trials of samples provided by humans and rats showed that human samples were also much less sensitive than rat samples. If human response is closer to the mouse response, you'd have to drink five times more to get a dose that would start to affect your red blood cells.
You'd have to drink more again to get into changes in the internal organs. Long term effects were basically the same, starting with low red blood cell count.
For the same "average person" of 62kg, this is 0. As above, this is the dose at which female rats start showing symptoms, and the other animals including humans are less sensitive. Since this product is for cleaning and one generally doesn't drink cleaning solutions, the more likely way to get a dose of any size is either by inhaling vapour or by absorbing through the skin.
The dose at which the first symptoms appeared was again in female rats, breathing air containing 31ppm of 2-butoxyethanol for 14 weeks.
