We’re a cool group of people concerned about the environment who want to create small but effective changes to how we package household products that benefit you, me, and the earth. Woman and minority owned, the goal is to develop powerful and earth-friendly ways we can retail and dispose of cleaning products – and do our part in keeping the world beautiful for future generations.

Just remember this – start with two tablets. Drop into water. Clean. It’s that simple. That will be 99% of what you need to do. Now, each cleaning situation varies things a little, so we have detailed cleaning instructions based on what you want to clean here. Just as important, here are the things you should not do. Let us know if you’d like instructions created for your special cleaning situation by emailing us at clean@tidyleaf.com.

Keep your Tidy Leaf Bleach Tablets sealed in its eco-friendly pouch in a cool, dry place. That will keep them primed to do work for up to two years. It takes up very little space on your shelf, and lasts a long time.

Tidy Leaf Pouches are 100% compostable – labels and all! Which means it will completely decompose within one year after “customary disposal” – as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission standard. That’s pretty awesome. Mother Earth will thank you.

The short answer is yes. That said, most of the bad effects of bleach are neutralized when the chemicals are activated with water. But there are environmental concerns surrounding its’ manufacture and freshwater levels. We know our solution – compostable and eco-friendly packaging – is not perfect. But considering that the plastic packaging that most detergents come in will affect the environment for hundreds of years, we believe it’s a good start in taking some responsibility for the health of the planet and all who live on it.

Just the basics – we formulated Tidy Leaf to be strong enough to be effective, but mild enough so as to pose as little a threat to the environment as possible. Each tablet has organic chlorinated bleaching agents (for cleaning power), sodium bicarbonate (so it fizzes and dissolves in water), chlorine stabilizers (used to extend the life of the chlorine), and inert fillers (to make the tablets solid and stiff).

If you or someone swallows a tablet, call 911 immediately. Possible effects from ingesting bleach are serious; the individual may collapse, have a seizure, have trouble breathing, or can’t be awakened. For more info visit the Poison Control website or call them at 1 (800) 222-1222.
