ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS AND NON TOXIC CLEANING

All Better Life cleaning products use agents which are free of petrochemicals and ethoxylates; the power behind our green cleaners comes directly from plants and vegetation that Mother Nature provides. This means all Better Life natural cleaners rapidly biodegrade. In fact, all Better Life green cleaning products far exceed both U.S. and European biodegradability standards. Cleaning with Better Life products means that you are using safe cleaners that are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfates, and other chemicals which are irritants to the skin and respiratory system. All Better Life Cleaning Products are Gluten-Free.

Here’s the low-down on each of these must-have eco-cleaning essentials:

what-EVER!
The all-purpose cleaner that’s awesome on everything. Totally.
All-purpose cleaner / 32oz

DIRECTIONS: Turn nozzle to “ON” position. Aim and spray. Wipe with a cloth, sponge, old shirt, or that odd sock that lost its mate.

WORKS ON: Use this safe cleaner on any washable non-porous surface, including: countertops, appliances, sinks, toilets, baseboards, walls, floors, tables, chairs, showers and tubs.

TIPS & MORE:
    * Use what-EVER!™ to clean out the fridge. It’s non-toxic and leaves no residue on food surfaces. Plus you don’t have to rinse.
    * Use our natural all-purpose cleaner on baseboards, walls, and doors to remove scuff marks, dirt, and pet oils.
    * Better Life’s all-purpose cleaner is solvent-free (no ammonia, alcohol, ethers) and pH neutral, so it’s great for acrylic and other plastic shower/tub enclosures.
    * After every shower, spray down your shower with what-EVER!™ all-purpose cleaner to stop mildew and soap scum from forming. Squeegee glass shower doors for a streak-free shine.
    * Use what-EVER!™ to bring new life to polished metal surfaces (cars, boats, bathroom fixtures, bikes, etc.) Better Life products are ethoxylate-free so waterways and marine life will not be harmed.

I Can See Clearly WOW!
The window and glass cleaner that takes a lighter view of the world.
Window Cleaner / 32oz
No rinsing. Streak-free. Film free.

DIRECTIONS: Turn nozzle to “ON” position. Aim sprayer at offending area and squeeze. Wipe with cloth or paper towel. Stand back and admire the streak-free shine from a powerful natural glass cleaner.

WORKS ON: Glass, windows, mirrors, plexiglass, auto glass, tinted windows, light fixtures, chrome, and acrylic

TIPS & MORE:
    * I Can See Clearly, WOW!™ glass cleaner is solvent-free (no ammonia, alcohol, or ethers) and pH neutral, so it’s safe to use on acrylic and tinted/treated windows and glass.
    * For great results and less environmental impact, use Better Life’s natural glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth.
    * I Can See Clearly, WOW!™ works great on glass tables and glass tile.
    * For quick cleanups and a streak-free shine, use on glass range tops and ceramic tile. (For bigger jobs, use Better Life’s Even The Kitchen Sink™ gentle scrubber.)


Even The Kitchen Sink
The gentle scrubber that cleans with ease while saving elbows and knees.
Gentle Scrubber / 16oz
No scratching. Keeps surfaces shiny and protected.

DIRECTIONS: Squeeze onto surface. Rub with damp sponge or cloth and rinse. Watch the water bead and smile proudly at the surface shine.

WORKS ON: This naturally powerful gentle cleaning scrubber works wonders on tubs, tile and grout, toilet bowls, shower doors, stovetops, glass cooktops , stainless steel sinks, porcelain, ceramic, enamel, stone, cultured marble, non-polished solid countertops, and laminate. If concerned, test in an inconspicuous area first.

TIPS & MORE:
    * Use Better Life’s household scrubber to combat surface mildew and soap scum in your tub or shower.
    * Our gentle cleaning scrubber is 100% safe for food preparation surfaces, and it works great on pots and pans! Try it on stainless steel, cast iron, enamel cookware and tea kettles.
    * Squirt Even The Kitchen Sink™ gentle scrubber in your toilet bowl and clean with a toilet bowl brush. Watch water stains disappear, and you don’t have to worry about flushing toxins into the waterways.
    * For best results, use our household scrubber regularly on your kitchen sink. Even The Kitchen Sink™ creates an invisible barrier, making future clean-ups faster and easier.

2am Miracle
The nursery cleaner that works when you’re pooped. And your baby already has.

    Out of curiosity, how do these compare with Seventh Generation products?

Unlike the competition we do not contain ethoxylates and other petroleum derived ingredients which are detrimental to aquatic life. Thanks for your interest and email if any questions!

    Much thanks!

    I personally know Kevin and Tim and they are very wonderful, amazing, honest guys. I LOVE their products and they work fabulously. I had my house keeper use them for the first time all over my house for every type of cleaning - she has cleaned homes for 28 years and she wants me to get her all the products so she can use them at her house - she was very impressed. My husband and I helped our boys clean their (7 years of guys and had not been cleaned) apartment when they moved in - we even used Whatever to wash down the walls - it was amazing! I’m sold for life! We must start saving our environment and spread the word to all those we love and care about. This is a great place to start!

  7. Ina

    I just cracked open these products and they are amazing! I only had to spray once or twice and within seconds my bathroom sink and counter were super clean. The best part is that these products have no ammonia or alcohol! I can get the bathroom clean without it smelling like Lysol or Mr. Clean! The window cleaner-I Can See Clearly WOW! is incredible. I love it! It cleans so quickly and streak free! I’m never going back to those other toxic brands! Thanks Delight.com for having these eco-friendly cleaning products!

  8. Christine

    Does anyone know if any of these products can be used to clean an oven? I am desparate for a non toxic oven cleaner (this is for a non self-cleaning oven). Thanks!

  9. Nicole

    I ordered these products a while ago and love how they clean but was wondering…do they disinfect?

  10. Traci

    Just cleaned the sink while my coffee was brewing-Amazing stuff! Got rid of all the pan scratches on the stainless basin.

  11. Tara

    Since no one has answered Christine’s question I thought I would mention I emailed the company directly and they said it IS safe to use. I used it, and it didn’t get ALL the really caked-on junk off, but it did okay.

  12. admin

    Tara thanks for being pro-active and emailing the folks at Better Life. I just want to point out that while all the Better Life products are safe to use on most surfaces and are absolutely fabulous, none of them are really designed to clean an oven without a lot of elbow grease included.

    I just got these products last week and used them over the weekend. They are fantastic!! I love that they don’t leave the place smelling like Lysol and I think they work even better than any of the store bought products I’ve used!
    I saw another post asking if they disinfect and was curious about that as well. Anyone know?

  14. admin

    Hello Nicole and Liz,
    I just wanted to let you both know that I just spoke with Tim Barklage one of the founders of Better Life about the disinfecting power of Better Life Cleaning Products. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and let me know that most cleaning products indicate on the back of the product that in order for a product such as Lysol to truly disinfect that you must leave the product on any given surface for up to 10 minutes. So unless you are leaving those cleaning products on for that long they really aren’t disinfecting. The great news is that Better Life is packed with natural germ busting essential oils that kill germs without the harsh chemicals.
    I hope that this helps.

    They were interviewed on St. Louis TV - the video link is on their web site www.cleanhappens.com Anyway, they wiped raw chicken on a countertop then used a gadget to show the level of contamination. Obviously very high. Then they used WhatEver cleaner on it and the gadget showed zero contamination. Check it out on their website or on ksdk.com Having used all of the Better Life products, I can say they are absolutely incredible. They really work, and in the video the chemist spritzed the WhatEver on his hands and licked them to show how safe they are!

    Hi Kathy,
