A clean home. Who needs it?

After a new, independent study concluded that cleaning your home as little as once a week with national brand cleaners was as dangerous for your lungs as smoking a pack a day for twenty years, some parents are seriously wondering if cleaning the house is worth it at all. And who would blame them?

If adult lungs suffer when we breathe in the dangerous chemicals of national brand cleaning products, what about the developing lungs of children?

Yes, it’s just what you suspected: toxic chemicals are extremely dangerous for your children.

Here is what you need to know about hazardous chemicals and your child’s lungs:

• While toxins threaten everyone’s health, infants and children are especially sensitive to toxins and are very susceptible to air pollution

• Children are more vulnerable to chemicals (pound-by-pound because of their smaller body weight)

• Children’s bodies are less able to detoxify because their organs are not fully developed

If the hazardous chemicals in national brand cleaners are affecting adult respiratory health, imagine what they are doing to children who live in the same home, eat in the same kitchen, bathe in the same bathrooms, walk on the same floors, and breathe the same air! Their little lungs—so pure and clean—should be breathing air that is equally as pure and clean.

Giving up on cleaning all together (as tempting as that may sound some days) is not the answer. Living in filth comes with its own frightening threats to children’s health.

The good news is, it’s possible to provide your little ones with the home environment they deserve—freshly scrubbed, tidy and clean (even disinfected)—without harsh, toxic, organ-damaging chemicals.

Melaleuca scientists formulated EcoSense products to get your house sparkling clean without ammonia, chlorine bleach, quaternary disinfectants, or other dangerous chemicals. In fact, our cleaning products are so safe that no child safety caps are required.

You can have a clean home that is also toxin-free! Only EcoSense is the safer, more effective alternative.

A Beautiful, Clean Home Starts at Floor Level

Much of life happens on the floor. It’s the foundation of all family activity and the gateway to your home. It’s where everyone gathers for games, homework, story time, and relaxing. It’s the playground for your children and the highway for family pets. You want your floors to be welcoming to bare feet, five-second rules, and everyone who stops by. Life on beautiful floors is a beautiful thing.

Unfortunately, family life can be hard on floors, and even harder on the one who has to clean them. When you run a household, keeping up with life’s messes can be frustrating and never-ending! That’s why Melaleuca created Clean & Gleam,™ our all-new floor care system designed to help you clean and polish your floors quickly, easily, effectively, and yes, frequently. Because a beautiful floor is the foundation of a beautiful home.

Clean & Gleam^™ checks off everything on your wish list for the ultimate floor care system.

12x Super-Concentrated Floor Cleaner
• A beautiful, clean finish—no streaks or haze
• Longer-lasting results
• More affordable than premixed bottled cleaners because it’s 12x concentrated
• Clean scent of sweet citrus and crisp lime essential oils
• Most important of all—it is nontoxic so you can safely use it around children and family pets

Ready-to-Use Floor Polish
• Restores the shine you love and evens out the floor’s appearance
• Protects against scuffs and scratches with our durable OptiShield™ finish
• Protects the environment because it’s zinc-free and phosphate-free; plus, it is nontoxic and safe to use around children and pets

IMPORTANT: The Floor Cleaner and Floor Polish work together for excellent results and are specifically formulated for hardwood floors and any other hard, sealed surfaces like tile, linoleum, and concrete.

Custom Melaleuca Spray Mop
• No batteries required
• Light and easy to maneuver
• Gets the job done faster with a wide mop head that gives you more floor coverage
• Flexible to reach every inset and angle of your floors
• The refillable reservoir is more environmentally responsible because it reduces the need to constantly buy and discard refills

Reusable Mop Pads
Our mop pads are washable and reusable, and they’re individually designed for dusting, cleaning, and polishing. All are microfiber for dust-free, lint-free results.

• Blue Dusting Pad: Thousands of feathery fibers collect and cling to dirt. Excellent to use before mopping or for touch-ups.
• Green Cleaning Pad: High-count absorbent fibers clean thoroughly and entrap all the dirt.
• White Polishing Pad: Soft, clustered texturing spreads the polish evenly so it dries to a brilliant shine.

Cleaning pads simply press into place on the mop, where rows of tiny plastic teeth hold them firmly in place. No slipping, no sliding, no falling off.

Preparation: The Refillable Reservoir
• Remove the reservoir from its mop base by grasping the handle and lifting it up and out.
• Remove the green cap.
• Fill the reservoir to the 12x line (in raised lettering at the bottom) with Clean & Gleam Floor Cleaner.
• Fill the reservoir with water up to the Fill Line (in raised letters near the top).
• Replace the green cap.
• With the reservoir handle facing outward, align the concave-centered back of the reservoir with the mop handle, and press the reservoir down gently into the mop base.
• Simply squeeze the handle to spray.

Beautiful floors in four simple steps

Step one: Sweep and Dust
• Sweep the floor thoroughly.
• Press the blue Dusting Pad into place.
• Dust the floor to remove all traces of lint and dirt.
• Use whenever you want to do a quick touch-up.

Step two: Clean
• Press the green Cleaning Pad into place.
• Spray the floor as you go, mopping areas about 4 feet at a time.
• In about 20 minutes the floor will dry to a clean, streak-free shine.
• Use anytime you need to clean the entire floor or do a quick spot cleanup.

Step three: Polish
• Press the white Polishing Pad into place.
• Pull open the applicator tip on the Clean & Gleam Floor Polish.
• Gently squeeze the bottle and apply the polish in a serpentine pattern on about 4 feet of the floor at a time.
• Work backwards across the floor; finish at an exit from the room.
• Rinse the pad immediately after applying the polish to your floor.
• If, for desired shine and protection, you want to apply an additional coat, wait at least 50 minutes before reapplying.
• Use whenever you want to make your floor gleam or to protect it from scratches and scuffs.

IMPORTANT: Do not put Floor Polish into the mop reservoir; apply directly to floors.

Step four: Touch Up
• Press the blue Dusting Pad into place on the mop.
• Use for quick touch-ups and dust removal.

Life throws a lot at your floors. Dust, clean, and polish them with the Clean & Gleam Floor Care System.
