GET CLEAN™

Safe for you, your home, and your planet™

 Image1

Get Clean™ products use biodegradable cleaning agents, which means they break down easily instead of hanging out in the ground for hundreds of years. They also have no phosphates, borates, nitrates, or other stuff the planet doesn't appreciate. And by making them superconcentrated, we leave you to add water so we can subtract waste. This has tons of implications. Literally. Less weight to ship. Less product to use. Less packaging to throw away. So you can get that clean feeling about your house, knowing you're keeping the planet clean, too.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

When you buy the Get Clean Starter Kit instead of the stuff you probably buy:

  • You keep 108 pounds of packaging waste out of landfills
  • You eliminate 248 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions

GET CLEAN PRODUCTS OFFER CLEANING CHOICES THAT ARE GREEN, AND HERE'S WHY:

  • Sustainably sourced natural ingredients 
  • Biodegradable surfactants
  • Recyclable packaging
  • Recyclable wipes
  • Recyclable dryer sheets 
  • No chlorine bleach
  • No volatile organic cleaning compounds
  • No phosphates
  • No nitrates
  • No borates
  • No animal testing

How Green Drinks Started!

How it all started5_308no_resize

 

In 1989, at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with his green design colleagues Yorick Benjamin and Paul Scott when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his own eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born.

 

The concept evolved into Green Drinks and now it's global. In 2001, Datschefski created an official Web site, and it has since spread across the world. See www.greendrinks.org for the latest city count and a list of countries. Each city has an 1316organiser who arranges meetings in bars and restaurants, relays information via email, and facilitates discussions.

The spirit of Green Drinks is that anyone can come, and this makes for interesting interactions.
There are lots of benefits to green drinks; they are hard to quantify, but when you have seen people come and make new links and learn and argue and set up new schemes and get new jobs etc, it is a good feeling.

The origin of the Clear Water Outdoor name is rooted from the Potowatomi Indians.  The Indian name for Geneva Lake was "Kishwauketoe", which means "clear water." Their beginnings are rooted in the idea of connecting friends and family and oneself to the outdoors. As a family owned business, they want to support you in your efforts to get active, have fun and be connected.

Visit their store on main street in downtown Lake Geneva. Their staff will be there to help you find the perfect outfit and right gear for your next adventure..
