Lynn, I’ve been trying to get away from antibacterials since I made this post. Agents used in those products are also causing problems for wildlife like frogs.

I have seen the “natural dilutable” Green Works in the store. I believe you can use this for refills, but it seems to be more intended for bucket cleaning.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, you’re the only other blogger I’ve found so far who has raised the lack of refill issue, as I did. I would have thought the blogosphere would have been all over them on this issue. It really bothers me that they don’t offer refills. It’s not a sustainable approach. I gave them a break three months ago at launch, but I just went looking for refills again, and I just don’t think they plan to introduce them!

Not sure about the antibacterial issue – I think these agents are over-used and are contributing to the growth of resistant strains of bacteria.

Hey Plaidearthworm. Thanks for visiting. I understand about the cat issue. I never know if he has been on my counters, so I have to wash them first if food will have direct contact. From what I’ve read about vinegar though, it should do the trick of killing those cat germs.

This post is so timely, because I just bought a bottle of Green Works spray. I like it, but I like my usual cleaner a lot better, Sol-U-Guard Botanical, because it disinfects. Unfortunately, I’m out of that, which I just call my Thyme cleaner, because that’s the main ingredient. That stuff is foodsafe, I can use it to clean out our water cooler (we carry in all our drinking water), and it smells yummy (to me, at least).

As far as I can tell, Green Works isn’t foodsafe (although the ingredients seem okay), and it foams up a bit if there’s water present, like cleaning up a spill on the countertop. It is cheaper than my Thyme stuff, so I may use it for cleaning the rest of the house, and keep my other cleaner just for kitchen use. Clorox is trying, at least, which is good to see. I do use vinegar occasionally, but with cats in the house, I have to have something to knock germs in the head.
