EcoTowl Bamboo

EcoTowl BambooEcoTowl Bamboo is a paper towel replacement. It can also replace those throwaway wipes and other microfibre products made from petrochemicals. Just think of the number of trees saved and the added benefit of them not ending up in landfill.

The EcoTowls are made from 82% bamboo fibre and 18% corn. Of course the corn is GMO free as you would expect. Bamboo is becoming a choice material for many products now because it is an extremely fast growing renewable resource and exhibits natural antibacterial properties. The latter makes it perfect for this type of product.

The EcoTowl Bamboo is super absorbant and can be used wet or dry for everything from wiping up spills to simple dusting. It is also machine washable so you can use it over and over.

It was named as a finalist in the “Green By Design” category at the 2008 Gourmet Product Show.

Eco Wash Waterless Car Wash

Eco Wash Waterless Car WashWater restrictions are a fact of life in many parts of the world and one of the first things to be affected is washing cars. The Eco Wash Waterless Car Wash by Eco Touch is right in so many ways. Firstly is saves litres or gallons of water that usually ends up down the drains. And it is not only this untreated water that flows into rivers and streams, it is the harmful petroleum products and other pollutants then end up on and in our cars. This harmful run off is eliminated. With more people living in high density housing it can also be difficult to wash you car. Once again a waterless process means you can wash you car in the parking garage if you want.The waterless car wash ingredients include water (so technically is it a waterless car wash?), surfactants derived from coconut and soy, water-based polymers, organic solvent from soy. It couldn’t be easier to wash your car either. Simply work a panel at a time by spraying the vehicle surface and microfiber towel and gently wipe across the surface to pick up the road grime.If you don’t have a spray bottle then buy the 22oz spray pack to begin with and then replenish with the 1 galllon container. The latter should be enough to clean between 20 and 50 cars and just think of the water saved and harmful run offs prevented. Don’t forget to recycle the container!More information about the Eco Wash Waterless Car Wash at the Eco Touch website.
