KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The experts at Bon Ami, one of America's favorite household cleansers, are helping consumers nationwide celebrate Earth Day with a variety of helpful household cleaning hints and tips at http://www.bonami.com/. The company offers the environmentally friendly tips in honor of Earth Day to highlight the cleanser's earth-sensitive heritage.

"We're not changing or reformulating one thing," said Ben Stark, vice president of marketing for Bon Ami. "The fact of the matter is Bon Ami has never contained dyes, chlorine or perfumes. And the packaging is made primarily of recycled materials. We've been earth friendly from the very beginning."

Launched in 1886, Bon Ami Cleanser has set a gold-medal standard for homemakers who desire exceptional cleaning ability without harming the environment.

"You can be assured that Bon Ami is earth friendly," says Stark. "It's less likely to harm the environment during and after use. As a result, Bon Ami is often recommended by groups and organizations that promote non-toxic alternatives to some of today's most commonly used household products."

The experts at Bon Ami offer the following earth-friendly tips at http://www.bonami.com/.

-- Use Bon Ami Cleanser in the kitchen and bath to keep areas free of
mold and mildew, two big sources of indoor pollution.
-- When using any cleaning product, read the label. The Bon Ami web site
provides information on where to use it, what it will do and how to
use it with maximum safety and effectiveness.
-- Use products the way they're intended. In many cases, using more
doesn't improve performance.
-- Store products properly when not in use.
-- Always keep products in their original containers with the lids
closed. Never mix products together unless directed on the label.
-- Use the contents completely. Don't buy more than you can use. After
use, recycle where possible or dispose of as recommended on the label.
-- Make sure your home is properly ventilated to eliminate pollutants.

Stark says his company's goal this Earth Day is to educate consumers on the practical ways they can be more environmentally aware related to household cleaning. America Deserves Clean Air, Clean Water, and a Clean Cleanser(TM). Bon Ami is offered at your favorite store, or visit http://www.bonami.com/ for a retailer near you.
