Choosing Safer Choice Cleaning Products for Your Home
Finding Safer Choice cleaning products that are better for you, your family, and the environment should be easy, that's why JAWS proudly participates in the EPA Safer Choice program. When you choose Safer Choice EPA-certified products, you can be confident that you are using cleaners formulated with safer chemical ingredients while maintaining high performance.
What Does the EPA Safer Choice Label Mean?
Products with the Safer Choice label meet stringent criteria set by the EPA Safer Choice team. Each ingredient is screened for potential human health and environmental effects to ensure that the product contains only those ingredients that pose the least concern among chemicals in their class.
What Are the Requirements for EPA Safer Choice Products?
To earn the EPA Safer Choice certification, cleaning products must pass strict safety and performance requirements, including:
1.Ingredient Safety
Every ingredient is evaluated for carcinogenicity, reproductive/developmental toxicity, toxicity to aquatic life, and environmental persistence. This ensures that Safer Choice products are safer for:
- You, your family, and pets
- Fish and aquatic ecosystems
- The environment
2. Product Performance
Safer Choice EPA-certified products must perform comparably to conventional cleaning products in their category, ensuring you don’t have to compromise on cleaning power.
3. Packaging
The EPA reviews all packaging against Safer Choice standards to promote sustainable packaging.
4. pH Levels
Products must meet Safer Choice cleaner pH requirements to reduce the risk of skin and eye irritation.
5. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
The program restricts VOC levels to minimize indoor air pollution and protect respiratory health.
Additionally, the Safer Choice program mandates full ingredient disclosure on product labels or easily accessible sources, like brand websites, so consumers can make informed choices.
