NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith
Corporation's (NYSE: MDP) PARENTS released its second annual list
of Best Green Cleaners, a selection of over 20 sustainable,
efficient, and affordable products that are designated eco-friendly
by a team of PARENTS editors and experts. PARENTS Best Green
Cleaners 2021 are featured in the April issue, available now and
online at Parents.com/greenclean.
"At a time when we're hanging at home more than ever, a tidy
space feels like a big accomplishment," says Editor in Chief
Julia Edelstein. "For the second
year in a row, we tested eco-friendly formulas to find out which
ones get surfaces clean and leave the planet intact too."
PARENTS editors and experts vetted more than 100 products free
of ammonia, hydrochloric acid, petroleum, phthalates, and sodium
hydroxide (except in small amounts for pH balance)—the five
chemical ingredients that PARENTS advisor Philip Landrigan, M.D., a pediatrician and
director of the Global Observatory on Pollution and Health at
Boston College, cited as most
concerning to the environment. Families rated the products'
effectiveness on kid stains and routine cleanup. To pick the
winners, the PARENTS team also factored in price and the
sustainability of the packaging, a suggestion from Surili Sutaria
Patel, director of the Center for Climate, Health, and Equity at
the American Public Health Association.
PARENTS Best Green Cleaners 2021 are listed below by category
and are available online at Parents.com/greenclean.
