Norristown, PA (ContentDesk) July 12, 2006 -- Sun & Earth, a leading manufacturer of non-toxic, environmentally-friendly cleaning products since 1986, recently announced that it will donate 22-ounce bottles of its all-purpose spray cleaner to families devastated by the recent floods in the affected areas of Mid-Atlantic region including Delaware, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. Members of the Penn Athletic Club, Fairmont and Philadelphia Girl's Rowing Clubs and other residents of the famous Philadelphia Boathouse Row were the first to receive five gallon buckets of cleaning products from Sun & Earth."Now that the flood waters are receding, homeowners in affected areas have begun their clean-up efforts and will need a lot of help doing so," said Joe Connors, president and CEO of Sun & Earth. "It is important that flooded homes are thoroughly cleaned and dried out to prevent mold and mildew growth which can have negative health implications on inhabitants of the home."Cleaning a home after a flood involves thoroughly washing and disinfecting the walls, floors, closets, shelves, and contents of the house. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), many of the traditional household cleaners used in flood clean-up contain toxic chemicals that can add to the already poor indoor air quality of a flooded home. Sun & Earths all-purpose cleaner, as well as its entire line of cleaning agents, are derived from plant, fruit and vegetable oils that are non-toxic to humans and pets and also are safe for the environment.
Not only is Sun & Earths all-purpose cleaner safe, but it was recently tested and endorsed as an effective "green cleaner" by Prevention.com, the Web site for Prevention Magazine.Residents of areas affected by the June flooding can log onto the Sun & Earth Web site (www.sunandearth.com) to receive a coupon for a free bottle of all-purpose cleaner as well as coupons for discounts on future purchases of Sun & Earth products. This offer will be honored through the Web site only.
