What Are Green Cleaners for Salons?

Green cleaners are natural cleaning products free of harsh and harmful chemicals, making them safer for the environment and people who use them. At Lucas Products, we specialize in natural disinfectants that offer a deep clean without artificial fragrances and chemicals. Such eco-friendly cleaners are especially popular in beauty salons where safe and reliable cleaning power is required.

Why Choose Natural Cleaning Products for Salons?

Non-toxic cleaning products give you the same deep clean without unhealthy chemicals. Green cleaners offer numerous advantages, as they are better for the health of salon staff and clients, as well as the surrounding environment. Cleaning agents that are safe for cats and dogs as well as people and the planet are the preferred choice for sustainability and environmental protection. Plus, the best natural cleaning products offer full disinfection in just 5 to 10 minutes!

What Ingredients Are in Green Cleaners?

Natural, non-toxic cleaning products are free of harsh chemicals like alcohol, ammonia, bleach, chlorine, formaldehyde, parabens, and phosphate. Instead, green cleaners use simple, naturally occurring ingredients with disinfectant properties. The leading commercial natural cleaners minimize volatile organic compounds, which contain harmful gases and toxic chemicals. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly cleaner with maximum disinfectant power, look no further than our LUCAS-CIDE CA product line as well as our LUCAS-CIDE Thyme formula.  LUCAS-CIDE CA harnesses the power of citric acid – what you’d find in citrus fruits. Ground-breaking LUCAS-CIDE Thyme is plant-based and uses the disinfecting power of thyme (the herb) to create a greener salon and spa environment.  For more information on green cleaners and disinfectants always check the EPA label to learn more about each safe and sustainable formula.

What Is a Designed for the Environment Product?

Lucas-Cide CA carries the EPA certification “Designed for the Environment” (DfE). This special logo and label indicate a product meets stringent criteria for minimal environmental and health effects with high efficacy. For example, green cleaners with the DfE logo fall within a safe pH range to reduce risk of skin or eye irritation. Lucas-Cide CA has demonstrated efficacy in data from laboratory testing, confirming a high disinfectant performance against bacteria and viruses linked to human illness.
