Toilet Cleaner- 24 Strips by Nantucket Footprint

How to Use

How to Make: For an effective natural clean, toss one strip into your toilet bowl, allow to dissolve, and clean your toilet with a brush as you would any other toilet cleaner. Our powerful yet gentle ingredients work to remove stains and grime, and leave your bathroom smelling fresh. Then, flush!

Storage: These products are meant to be stored at room temperature and at average humidity. In cold or dry conditions they may become brittle. If this happens - no worries. They will become pliable again once humidity returns to normal. For a quick fix just waft individual strips over boiling water for a few seconds before use.

What's In Our Cleaner

SAFER, EARTH-FRIENDLY INGREDIENTS There are a lot of “green-washed” products out there. Nantucket Footprint is committed to not being among them. When we set out to make our cleaning formulas, we decided to follow a few basic principles:

• FULL INGREDIENT TRANSPARENCY Most household cleaners sold in the USA still don’t disclose ingredients. But we know ingredients matter. We are committed to 100% ingredient transparency for all our products, and so you can find all our ingredients on the packaging - More details can be found here.
• COSMETIC QUALITY INGREDIENTS There are no strict standards for cleaning product ingredients in the USA so we decided that all of our ingredients needed to not only be on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safer Choice list but also must have the lowest (safest) ratings on the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Skin Deep Database (no ingredient should have a higher rating than a 2). In addition, none of our ingredients appear on the Suzuki Dirty Dozen List – Our thinking is that products used in your home should have ingredients that would be safe enough to use on your body (they of course aren’t intended for bodies – this was just our standard).
• FREE FROM HARMFUL CHEMICALS In support of our mission to protect the planet, our Nantucket Footprint cleaning products are free from sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, phosphates, phthalates, parabens artificial fragrances, triclosan, methylisothiazolinone and benzisothiazolinone. Also made without vinegar, bleach, palm oil, and are nonabrasive.
• NO ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES The only way to achieve highly fragrant laundry and cleaning products is to use artificial fragrance ingredients. Such ingredients are a significant source of household toxins, and we have opted not to use any in our formulations.  For a healthy clean with low toxicity, we lightly scent our All-Purpose Cleaning Strips using only a hint of cold-pressed essential oils from grapefruit and bergamot.  Our goal is light and fresh -- if you are looking for perfume, you will be disappointed in the fragrance level.
• KICKING SINGLE-USE PLASTIC TO THE CURB Each box of Nantucket Footprint All-Purpose Cleaning Strips equals four plastic spray bottles that never had to be created or discarded! Our boxes are made from compostable cardboard (even the child-resistant button). With over 120 million households in the USA there is a huge amount of plastic waste created from household cleaning products each year – Just imagine what an impact we can have together by eliminating single-use plastic cleaning bottles!
• SUPER EFFECTIVE We guarantee that you will find our all-purpose cleaner to be the most effective natural cleaner you have ever used. We are so confident in this that If you are not 100% satisfied with natural all purpose cleaner and its effectiveness, we will send you a full refund.
• ANTIBACTERIAL We thought long and hard about whether we should include ingredients in our natural all purpose cleaner and other home products to make them antibacterial, but in the end we decided not to. The problem with the overuse of antibacterial cleaners has been well documented for over 20 years - basically using antibacterial cleaners is like overusing antibiotics. These cleaners exert evolutionary pressure on bacteria and viruses that eventually produce dangerous resistant strains. In addition, the ingredients that give antibacterial cleaners their strength are highly toxic themselves -- triclosan and triclocarban and the components of chlorine bleach are the most common.

• TOTAL CONVENIENCE Our natural all purpose cleaner is convenient and easy to use. Concentrated cleaning strips come in a lightweight and small package and quickly dissolve in our reusable glass spray bottle filled with water (or your own bottles) and take up no shelf space – ultimate zero-waste convenience and.

With Little Footprints in Mind

The footprint of an endangered owl in the middle of our logo represents our commitment to our brand ethos. We are mindful of little footprints in everything we do:

• We are committed to making products that have the smallest possible ecological footprint and we regularly evaluate and reexamine our products to see how we can do even better.
• We are committed to making products that are safer. As part of this commitment, we put our strips in child-resistant packages that are a safer choice for families with kids. (There are over 350   calls to poison control in the USA per day from kids eating things like dishwasher and laundry pods).
• We are committed to protecting our planet with financial support. We donate a portion of each sale to Rainforest Trust, an environmental organization that protects endangered species, threatened rainforests, and other tropical ecosystems around the world. We are mindful that the most humble creatures with the smallest footprints are impacted everyday by the choices we all make.
