Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative

The "Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative" is all about making sure that the things we use to clean our clothes and homes are safe for us and for the environment.

You know how when you spill juice on your dress, your mom or dad might use soap and water to clean it up? Well, sometimes the soaps and detergents we use can have things in them that aren't very good for animals, plants, or people. This is not good because it can make us or the things we love sick. But, the "Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative" is here to help us all use better soaps and detergents that are safer for us and our world.

The "Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative" is like a big group of people and companies that help make sure that the soaps and detergents we use don't have too many bad things in them. They also want to help us use soaps and detergents that work really well and don't cost too much money.

So, the next time you spill something on your dress or when your mom or dad are cleaning the house, remember to use soaps and detergents that are good for us and for the world.
