is Simple Green…green?
People ask me all the time about Simple Green and whether it is really green (aka safe). I think most are really confused because of the name: hey what can be wrong with something that is simple and green!
I was able to find a little information on at least one ingredient in Simple Green:
“A key ingredient of Simple Green is butyl cellosolve, a substance considered toxic by the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. In lab tests, the liquid has destroyed red blood cells and caused minor birth defects in animals. When absorbed through the skin or inhaled, it has caused irritation around the eyes and noses of humans and headaches.”
Not only those great things but there are also reports that it may also lead to “reproductive problems, such as testicular damage, reduced fertility, death of embryos and birth defects.”
So far looks like Simple Bummer.
I have emailed Simple Green and requested a ingredients list(nothing yet). I will give them credit-they have a materials safety data sheet that you can down load (and they butyl cellosolve listed), but other than that i could not find anything else as far as ingredients.
has anyone heard anything else??
