Life Tree Laundry Liquid Leads the Way in Safe Natural Cleaning Products

Online, March 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - 20 laundry detergents were tested, including major natural and conventional brands. Life Tree was one of only 4 brands that tested "clean" in this test, while major brands such as those marketed by P&G showed some of the highest 1,4 dioxane contamination.

1,4 dioxane is a contaminant by-product of a common manufacturing process used to create surfactants. It is however considered by the State of California to be a chemical known to cause cancer. 1,4 dioxane contamination also pollutes the groundwater supply when it appears in laundry detergents.

The testing was conducted under the auspices of the Organic Consumers Association, the Green Patriot Working Group and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. It follows up on testing done in 2009 on Dishwashing Liquids, where Life Tree Dish Soap was one of the leading brands that showed no dioxane contamination as well.

Life Tree Household Cleaning products have been leading the way for over 20 years in provide natural alternatives in household cleaning. Life Tree products are marketed by Lotus Brands. More information can be found at www.lifetreeproducts.com
