picture of JAWS green whole house cleaning products

Are you looking for simple ways to go green in your home in an economical way? I know I am. I want to be good the the planet but also to my budget.With JAWS cleaning products, you can be good to Earth, your budget, and support a local Ohio business (Toledo, OH).

JAWS stands for Just Add Water System. JAWS offers biodegradable cleaning solution in a reusable, refillable trigger spray bottle. Simply keep the bottle and just use replaceable highly concentrated cartridges of cleaner when you run out. By using JAWS cleaners you are helping to reduce plastic waste and conserve resources while you save money, time and space. Consider saving 30-50% less on these non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning products!

Why are JAWS cleaners green?

JAWS uses 70% less packaging material, leaves 59% less packaging waste, requires 59% less energy to transport, reduce water pollutants by 85%, and greenhouse gas emissions by 60%. This truly is an easy way to go green every time you clean. While reading their website, the stat that really hit me was that while it takes 30 trucks to transport the standard spray bottles of cleaning products that you probably have in your  home, it takes just 1 truck to transport JAWS cartridges. Amazing! Plus, the JAWS cartridges take less space to store in warehouses, uses less fork lift power, less diesel, gasoline and liquid petroleum fuels for transportation to the warehouse, to the store, and finally to your home. Can you see how this simple change could decrease our dependence on foreign oil?

JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner Hands On Review

JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner delivers a streak-free clean for glass and thermoplastic. It is a great cleaner for glass, stainless steel, mirrors, appliances, and other hard surfaces. It is safe for use on even Lexan, Lucite, Plexiglas and computer screens.  It has the same scent as other traditional glass cleaners.

I like that it is safe to be used on my monitor which always seems to need cleaned, especially after little hands use my computer to play games! When using on your computer screen, spray onto cloth, not directly on screen.

I also tested it out on my windows and glass top tables. I like the clean results of the JAWS Glass Cleaner, it compares to the leading non-green brand that I have always used.

Below is a picture that shows how the JAWS Just Add Water System works. Add tap water to the fill-line, put the cartridge in the bottle, and screw in the trigger spray. The trigger tube goes through the cartridge, activating the cleaning gel and pushing it into the bottle. Give it a light mix and it is good to go! The JAWS cleaners come with a cartridge holder attached right to the bottle so you don’t need to worry about losing the cartridge and always know your inventory.

JAWS Multi-Purpose Cleaner Degreaser can be used on appliance exteriors, floors, range hoods, laminates, solid surface countertops.

One thing that I hate to clean in the kitchen is the microwave. It’s such a chore. Although nothing is supposed to get microwaved without a paper towel, it doesn’t always happen. I could blame my husband because he never uses a paper towel but I am also guilty about ½ the time. So, we end up with a disgusting microwave that takes a lot of time to scrub down and clean.

I tried the JAWS Multi-Purpose Cleaner Degreaser and actually timed myself. You probably won’t believe it but it only took 3 minutes to clean the entire microwave with cooked on food. I couldn’t believe how quick and easy the greasy mess was to clean up! So, yes, I really like JAWS degreaser. I also like it for the stove top and control knobs.

JAWS Bathroom Cleaner Deodorizer Hands On Review

The JAWS Bathroom Cleaner Deodorizer foams as it cleans away mineral deposits quickly, also lime, soap films, oil, and grease. This is perfect to use on shower walls, porcelain and ceramic tile and grout.

I like that it is a soft spray of cleaner with a light fragrance, especially when cleaning my kids’ bathroom. I don’t like using other thick, heavy, stinky cleaners. As hard as I try and as often as I clean our showers, there is always lime and soap scum. The JAWS Bathroom Cleaner Deodorizer cleaned the tub and surround walls right up with little effort. This is a must, especially if you have well-water or hard water.

JAWS Disinfectant Cleaner Degreaser Hands On Review

The JAWS Disinfectant Cleaner Degreaser can be used around the whole house on washable hard, non-porous surfaces. It cleans, deodorizes, and disinfects. You can clean the floors, countertops, stovetops, sinks, appliance exteriors, telephones, door knobs, garbage cans, tables, chairs, and more.

The flu season is at high alert right now in Ohio, having a product that will disinfect your home could save your family from getting the flu. Be sure to clean and disinfect all the items that your family touches often like the phone, garbage can, door knobs, toilet handles, refrigerator door, and light switches. I use this disinfectant cleaner throughout the whole house, like how versatile it is.
