I want to start an eco-friendly waterless car wash. What exactly does eco-friendly mean when dealing with cleaning products. Is silicone eco-friendly. Is there a list of chemicals that are eco-friendly? Also, if something is biodegradable does that mean it is friendly to the environment?

Klute asked:
I have switched to using eco friendly products for washing my clothes such as Ecover. These products get the clothes clean enough but because they are not loaded with chemical fragrance the clothes don’t smell so good once dry. They smell a bit like dampness no matter how often I was them. I have tried the ecover fabric softener and the adding essential oils but even though the clothes smell ok when damp once dry they begin to smell again, I notice this smell more on synthetic fabrics also. Please give me any advice on what to do as I don’t want to go back to using chemical brands but my boyfriend is complaining about the smell. What can I do?
I normally wash my clothes at 30 or 40 degrees. My clothes are not heavily soiled.
The thing is that I want to avoid coming into contact with chemicals myself so I would prefer not to use a product like Fabreze.

Expecting # 5!! asked:
Living in a house with 4 young kids, my husband and I always try and set the right example for our young ones. This year, our kids being aged 8, down to 3, we decided to make some family resolutions, or goals if you will. We decided this weekend, since it will be bad weather to go anywhere, to take a few hours out of Saturday or Sunday and sort through everyones clothes, shoes and toys. Everything that is in good shape but will not be used in our house anymore for whatever reason will be given to the Salvation Army. We also decided to support a child from World Vision for $35.00 a month. And finally, we have decided to GO GREEN! I would like to start using eco-friendly cleaning products, and buying more organic foods. Of course we can’t be sure that anything these days is 100% organic but I figure I’m better off buying what they claim to be as ‘organic’ then what is sprayed with preservatives and various other chemicals. My question to you is, what kind of eco- friendly cleaning products should I use. Also, are their any other ideas/tips to share regarding the whole ‘going green’ theme with young children?

I don’t get it…I was checking out some ‘all natural’/'eco-friendly’ products. Some are as much as twice the price!! I mean, they are all natural for gods sake! Why would manufacturing chemicals be cheaper to purchase then all natural ingredients.
