"W.C. is an environmentally sensitive product.


These are ingredients that Winning Colours® has chosen NOT to use.

•ENZYMES:
This is a common ingredient in most other cleaners. Enzymes break down protein stains but do not distinguish between the protein in the stains and the protein in the human skin. Residues left in the fibres are known to irritate skin and may cause asthmatic reactions in some people.


•FLUORESCENT Whitening Agents:
These are used in many laundry detergents and fabric softeners and are chemical compounds designed to embed themselves in the fibres of clothing. As these accumulate over time, they will start to irritate the skin.


•NTA:
Found in a range of household cleaning products, this combines with heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury. These metals are then carried back into the water supply. Even low concentrations of heavy metals are known to be poisonous to humans. NTA is very difficult to remove from drinking water and is very slow to biodegrade in Canada’s cold water.


•PHOSPHATES:
These are chemical additives which were recognized as an environmental hazard in the 1970’s, but are still commonly found in powdered detergents and cleaners. Phosphates cause environmental problems by acting as a fertilizer for algae which are found in all natural water supplies. Too many phosphates cause the algae to grow excessively and use up the oxygen needed for fish and other desirable water plants to survive. This also decreases the activity of micro-organisms which are needed to break down other components of detergents. The result is that entire lakes can be destroyed.
Other polluting ingredients not used in Winning Colours® are:

•Dry cleaning fluids

•Artificial dyes

•Bleaches

•Corrosive agents

•Artificial fragrances

•Non-biodegradable ingredients"
