PARENTS Reveals Best Green Cleaners 2021

NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation's (NYSE: MDP) PARENTS released its second annual list of Best Green Cleaners, a selection of over 20 sustainable, efficient, and affordable products that are designated eco-friendly by a team of PARENTS editors and experts. PARENTS Best Green Cleaners 2021 are featured in the April issue, available now and online at Parents.com/greenclean.

"At a time when we're hanging at home more than ever, a tidy space feels like a big accomplishment," says Editor in Chief Julia Edelstein. "For the second year in a row, we tested eco-friendly formulas to find out which ones get surfaces clean and leave the planet intact too."

PARENTS editors and experts vetted more than 100 products free of ammonia, hydrochloric acid, petroleum, phthalates, and sodium hydroxide (except in small amounts for pH balance)—the five chemical ingredients that PARENTS advisor Philip Landrigan, M.D., a pediatrician and director of the Global Observatory on Pollution and Health at Boston College, cited as most concerning to the environment. Families rated the products' effectiveness on kid stains and routine cleanup. To pick the winners, the PARENTS team also factored in price and the sustainability of the packaging, a suggestion from Surili Sutaria Patel, director of the Center for Climate, Health, and Equity at the American Public Health Association.

PARENTS Best Green Cleaners 2021 are listed below by category and are available online at Parents.com/greenclean.
