All Sprayers are Not Created Equal

Take a look at any EcoSense spray bottle. What makes it different? Besides the fact that it's reusable and refillable, you'll also notice all EcoSense bottles are non-aerosol. Why? Beyond the risks associated with pressurized cans and propellants, the aerosol particles in many household cleaners can be nearly twenty times smaller than the particles created by EcoSense trigger sprayers. And, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the smaller a particle, the more easily it is inhaled.4

In addition, the smaller the particle, the longer it will linger in the air. In fact, particles from aerosol sprayers can linger in the air hundreds of times longer than particles from EcoSense trigger sprayers. In testing at an independent laboratory, EcoSense products (Tub & Tile and Tough & Tender) had approximately seven times lower levels of EPA emissions than did their competitive products (Lime-A-way® and Formula 409®, respectively). That helps keep EcoSense products out of the air and out of your body—two places no cleaner belongs.
