Being an eco-friendly plumbing company<\/a><\/em> is about more than just driving an electric car or recycling the newspaper at work. It can also refer to personal habits and purchasing decisions within your personal life. By educating yourself on so-called \u2018green products,\u2019 you can make more informed and responsible purchases for your home.<\/p>\n One of the best ways to start green purchasing habits is to begin with buying eco-friendly plumbing products. Known in the past for dangerous chemical compositions and hazardous materials, plumbing products have begun to offer healthier and greener options. Here is a look at a few of the best eco-friendly plumbing products around.<\/p>\n Eco-Friendly Drain Cleaners<\/strong><\/p>\n While the active ingredient in conventional drainer cleaners, sodium hydroxide, is not necessarily a pollutant to the environment, it is also not extremely healthy to come into contact with. With that being said, there are other options for those who are looking for safer alternatives around the house.<\/p>\n Try using one of the many enzymatic biological drain cleaners available on today\u2019s shelves. These drain cleaners<\/a> use enzyme mixtures and bacteria to do the same things the sodium hydroxide based cleaners do. You can also try other alternatives to using drain cleaners altogether, such as a drain snake or plunger.<\/p>\n Eco-Friendly Soaps<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to dish soaps, the eco-friendly minded person can again find alternatives to ordinary store soaps. Seventh Generation guarantees its soap to be free from phosphates and chlorine, as well as biodegradable. Other brands like Life Tree and Ecover offer smaller bottles with super-concentrated soap. Also, be on the lookout for products that do not use animal ingredients or test on animals. Plenty of options exist, so there is no reason not to choose green!<\/p>\n
