Lucky Vitamin Presents: Attitude

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 11:00 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor


Lucky Vitamin is proud to present another top quality, eco-friendly brand of household cleaning products: Attitude.

Attitude offer a solution to a pressing issue, proving to everyone that it is possible to develop environmentally friendly products that are also effective and as accessible as their traditional counterparts. The company has created the first series of carbon-neutral, environmentally friendly household products.

Attitude products were conceived to change the incredibly paradoxical process of cleaning up the home environment using loads of chemical products. Attitude wanted not only to develop non-toxic products but also to debunk this contradiction, changing the way we clean, and ending the reasons people didn’t use natural products such as “environmentally-friendly products don’t work”, are “too expensive”, and “can’t be found anywhere”.

Based in Montréal, Bio Spectra Attitude brand wants to promote responsible consumption by offering high performing products that minimize impacts on health and environment. The company started in December 2005, developing surface cleaners and from a very small team working in a very small factory, Attitude has grown to develop more products, adding detergents for dishwashing and clothing, as well as hand soaps.

However, while Attitude expanded its presence on the market, more and more products purporting to be environmentally friendly have flooded the shelves in recent years. Fighting against confusion while promoting the truth, the Attitude team had lots of work to do. Does biodegradable mean environmentally friendly? Not necessarily! Does “phosphate-free” mean environmentally friendly? No.

So, the company has decided to make consumers’ lives easier while demonstrating dedication to the environment by certifying all products through a particularly credible independent organization, EcoLogo.

Lucky Vitamin Presents: Kane Industries

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 11:00 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Lucky Vitamin continues to add eco-friendly brands for our customers. The latest addition is a top quality brand of cleaning aids: Kane Industries.

Kane Industries is the manufacturer of eco-friendly kitchen accessories and cleaning products offering dozens of stylish, durable products. Formerly known as Kane Kutlery, Kane Industries was founded in 1957 and is based in Oxnard, California.

Kane Industries Corp. offers tabletop collections, including dinnerware, serveware, and drinkware as well as a variety of everyday products, such as wine goblets, scissors, mugs, wine and cheese, tote bags, sugarcane/cornstarch, and bamboo products. The company also provides kitchen textiles, beach towels, bath towels, bath accessories, and seasonal products.

Kane Industries creates eco-friendly kitchen accessories made from bamboo fabric, an all-natural textile. Made from the pulp of bamboo grass, the process consists of separating the bamboo into thin threads of natural cellulose fiber that is then spun into yarns without the need for chemicals.

The final result is a 100% eco-friendly product, grown without pesticides or herbicides, and that can grow 33% faster than trees, producing more O2 per acre. Naturally anti-bacterial and naturally hypoallergenic, Kane Industries bamboo kitchen towels are also very efficient as it holds three times its weight in water and dries twice as fast as cotton.

Bamboo contains a natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent called “Bamboo Kun.” Bamboo Kun allows bamboo forests to be grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides and the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties are preserved when converted to a fiber. By using bamboo products, you are not only creating a healthier earth, but a healthier home.

Lucky Vitamin Presents: Fuji EnviroMax

Filed Under: Environment,Natural Cleaning Aids at 4:00 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Lucky Vitamin is proud to introduce another top quality eco-friendly brand: Fuji EnviroMax.

Fuji EnviroMax offers environmentally-respectful batteries with unexcelled power and uncommon responsibility. The company is dedicated to setting environmental standards, leading the way by setting rigorous safety and quality control standards to produce battery products that are safe for users and to the environment.

At one time, all batteries were made with mercury and cadmium. Both of these heavy metals have been proven to be harmful to the environment. Fuji Batteries decided to change this and confront this environmental danger head-on.

Fuji EnviroMax has developed an entire line of batteries without the use of materials like mercury and cadmium, and any other material hazardous to the environment. All batteries bring a long-overdue dimension of eco-responsibility along with unsurpassed power and longevity. Independent tests show Fuji EnviroMax batteries equal, and most often, exceed the performance and longevity of equivalent major brands.

The materials used for Fuji EnviroMax batteries are derived from the basic elements of the Earth. Nothing inside a Fuji EnviroMax battery will harm the environment if disposed through normal waste systems. All batteries contain no harmful mercury or cadmium, nor are they packaged with dangerous, non-recyclable, PVC plastic.

Fuji EnviroMax batteries are labeled and packaged with recycled paper and P.E.T. plastic and ozone-depleting compounds have been eliminated in the production of all batteries.

At first glance, all batteries look the same as they’re all the same size and fit snuggly into one of the many portable electronic devices that have become very common in our everyday lives. Most of us never even give a thought to how batteries are made or what harm they can do to our environment once they are discarded. Fuji EnviroMax has been dedicated to developing one of the most environmentally respectful batteries on the planet for 20 years.

Natural Air Fresheners

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 5:23 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor
Air freshener

Air fresheners are used in the majority of American homes. People normally use deodorizers to fight odor in the bathroom, laundry room, garbage cans, kitchen and bedrooms, creating a more enjoyable place with a fresh air smell.

Air fresheners generally get rid of unpleasant odors in indoor spaces and can be found in the form of candles, aerosol sprays, diffusers, potpourri, gels and mechanical or heat release products. However, we are likely taking a whiff of dangerous chemicals every time you inhale hints of flowers or fruits from deodorizers.

A recent study shows the dangers to consumers through the use of air fresheners. Many products employ carcinogens, volatile organic compounds and known toxins such as phthalate esters in their formulas. Air fresheners may also contain chlorine bleach or ammonia. These products can pose a health risk as some ingredients can aggravate asthma and affect reproductive development.

Cleaning is essential for our health as the absence of dirt, stains and dust will reduce the presence of germs, many times responsible for allergies, asthma and intestinal diseases. But natural cleaning is the only way to take care of this issue safely.

Natural air fresheners can provide a “good and safe” smell. Most green cleaning aids do not use any chemical cleaning agents and use only natural ingredients, such as essential oils, promoting a much better environment for your family.

Alternative air freshener delivery methods include scented candles, reed diffusers, potpourri, and heat release products. Don’t forget: ventilation is also important to maintaining indoor air quality and can aid in eliminating unpleasant odors.

Save Trees: Use Recycled Products

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 6:35 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor
Recycle

Lucky Vitamin cares about our planet. We offer several household items and cleaning products made from recycled paper.

Recycling is important to assure a green environment for future generations. We can all help to protect our planet if we can develop a “recycle / green” mind.

One of the easiest ways to start this change: buy recycled products for daily needs, such as napkins, paper towels and bathroom tissues. They can all be made of recyclable material providing the same top-quality as products made from raw material.

Most companies offer products made from 100% recycled paper, helping to reduce the need for virgin wood pulp - used especially to make paper – resulting in more trees left standing.

Most products are hypo-allergenic, whitened without chemicals,and do not contain chlorine. Some people may think products made from recycled materials are coarse and rough, but these companies are now making very soft and absorbent products.

We could save a lot of trees if everyone could start recycling. Most grocery stores are now using recyclable plastic bags, which can be used as trash bags.

Another way to reduce the environmental issues is purchasing a water bottle. Think about how many bottles of water you drink every year. Now, think about all the plastic bottles you could have saved if you had a “water bottle”. Reducing the water bottle waste is a great way to protect the planet and also save some money.

Healthy Fresh Air!

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 9:26 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor
Air Freshner

We love a clean place. Everyone feels great when our house or apartment is nice and clean. An organized and neat place makes life at home much more enjoyable.

Cleaning is very important for our health as well, as the absence of dirt, stains and dust will reduce the presence of germs, many times responsible for allergies, asthma and intestinal diseases.

Household products are very efficient these days but are they safe to use?

A quick look at their ingredients will answer the question: no, far from safe. Yes, cleaning supplies may get rid of all stains, and may claim to be the most powerful in the market, but these products could also be dangerous for your family.

The “all-purpose” cleaner can make you feel dizzy and sick. Some of the chemical ingredients used in these products may leave harmful residues for your family to breath or ingest. Just check the labels, it’s scary to find out that the “caution” and “warning” parts are normally twice longer than directions or how to use parts.

Air fresheners may cause the same problems. Air refreshers are great products to keep bad odor and garbage smells away from your place. However, it may not be safe for your health. Remember: when breathing, a “good smell” isn’t always a “safe smell”.

The solution? We don’t want to have a dirty place but we have to be very careful in our product selection. Natural cleaning supplies are not as easy to find, but are much better than conventional lines.

Most green cleaning aids do not use any chemical cleaning agents and use only natural ingredients, promoting a much better environment for your family.

Naturally Clean

Cleaning

How you decorate your home reveals a great deal about you. One color scheme -complete with matching accessories – can tell the world (or at least your guests) that you are a hopeless romantic, hiding a dark side beneath your preppy clothes, or unremarkably dull. That’s why you spend hours deciding between the purple skull and the country-chic still life, and days comparing the pros and cons of a red leather couch to those of an overstuffed beige sofa. But don’t think that once you’ve selected the perfect wall-hanging you’ve achieved the perfect image. Because it’s not just the décor that defines you, it’s the entire environment, and that includes how you clean and what you clean with. 

Traditional, mainstream products were, until recently, the only choice for true neatniks. If your mother walked in and smelled Pine Sol, bleach or an aromatic combination of both, you got her nod of approval. But that’s all changing. We are becoming startlingly more aware of the number of unnecessary chemicals in our cleaning products from ammonia to chlorine bleach to flammable solvents; we’re realizing just what they can do to our bodies as well as the environment.  And none of it is good. Fortunately, we have an alternative – we can clean green. Continue Reading >>

Cleaning for a Healthy Home

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 4:09 pm | By: Brandi Spade, Senior Editor
spray.jpg

It doesn’t need to be spring to clean your household…and start fresh with non-toxic cleansers that won’t disturb the healthy balance of your body. It’s hard to understand how it’s taken us this long to become aware that those chemicals we’re using to clean our households are going into our bodies. Wiping down counters and vacuuming carpets shouldn’t be followed by an unhealthy round of coughing and sneezing. And if you have children, the chemicals found in standard cleaning products are detrimental to their sensitive immune system. Think about what you are “cleaning” with when buying these products at stores. If you aren’t using non-toxic cleaners, you’re likely to be causing more harm than good. Check out LuckyVitamin.com’s Natural Cleaning Aids to start you in the right direction.
