				<p><strong>I didn't know Method was &quot;green&quot;!?</strong></p><p>I didn't even realize Method was "green". I bought some Method detergent the other day because it seemed better than the other HE ones available at Target but their ingredients were not fully listed. Whenever that happens I assume they are hiding something. Glad to hear more about them. </p><p>

				<p><strong>Great entre for new households</strong></p><p>When coming up with a gift for new couples/housewarmings, I head right for the eco cleaners. I put together a variety of cleaners and laundry products, plop them into a cloth shopping bag (chico bags, generally) with a few more of the bags, and that's their gift!<br>
I've gotten nothing but thanks for that, and I'm helping to spread the word!</p><p>
I love Method's marketing... the happy naked cleaning people are the best! :)</br></p>

				<p><strong>exactly</strong></p><p>I've never bought them because the ingredients aren't listed. &nbsp;which makes me suspicious. &nbsp;</p><p>
it's good to know more about them, but i'd be more inclined to try them if they listed their ingredients.</p>

				<p><strong>Marketing</strong></p><p>Loooks interesting but when I went to the website there is nowhere to see the actual mop, what it looks like, how it works and the print is tiny, sort of gray color and really, really hard to read! &nbsp;I concur with the comments about wanting to see a complete list of ingredients but I'm guessing that would mean giving away propretary information that competitors could use. &nbsp;</p>

				<p><strong>Method men</strong></p><p>Great interview, I've been a fan of Method for some time, and will continue to be after having read this--</p><p>
but the real question is: is Mr. Lowry single?</p>

				<p><strong>ingredients listed on website...<p>hey, so i just did some searching around, and it looks like the company does in fact list all of their ingredients on their website: <a href="http://www.methodhome.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.methodhome.com. i sent an email to their customer service team and got word that all of these will be on packaging soon, as well. awesome. </a></p></strong></p>

				<p><strong>Convenient Green</strong></p><p>How cool is it that you can buy these products anywhere! Target is everywhere, so now there is an option for people who don't live near a Whole Foods!</p>

				<p><strong>Methodical Waste</strong></p><p>These guys have a great idea - but the bottles are so small, causing repeat fuel consumption for return trip purchases, increased landfill waste. &nbsp;They should consider concentrating and upsizing the bottles so the consumer only uses one corrected labeled bottle and refills from a 6x concentration bottle of solution. &nbsp;I don't by it just for that reason - cute bottles - but too much waste.</p>

				<p><strong>false advertising?</strong></p><p>They claim on their website that their products come from plants not chemical plants. &nbsp;I'm not so sure. &nbsp; Here are the ingredients from their lavender hand soap. &nbsp;Some of these names sure don't sound like plant names. The list below is some of the info you can find on those ingredients at the EWG site. &nbsp; I'd be interested in knowing if they are using the US TSCA list or the REACH list from the EU as a guide to 'safe' ingredients. &nbsp;</p><p>
water<br>
sodium lauryl sulfate<br>
cocamide dea<br>
cocamidopropyl betaine<br>
glycerine<br>
aloe barbadensis gel<br>
tocopheryl acetate<br>
citric acid<br>
sodium chloride<br>
sodium citrate<br>
benzophenone 4<br>
methylchloroisothiazolinone<br>
methylisothiazolinone<br>
fragrance<br>
color</p><p>
___________</p><p>
Cocamide dea - Diethanolamine (DEA) - known human immune system toxicant, strong evidence of human skin toxicant, limited evidence of cancer.</p><p>
cocamidopropyl betaine - known human immune system toxicant - moderate doses show toxicity in animal studies - low doses unknown at this time. &nbsp;</p><p>
tocopheryl acetate - human skin toxicant - strong evidence </p><p>
sodium citrate - one or more animal studies show brain and nervous system effects at low doses</p><p>
benzophenone 4 - human skin toxicant</p><p>
methylchloroisothiazolinone - known human immune system toxicant, strong evidence of human skin toxicant </p><p>
methylisothiazolinone - &nbsp;known human system toxicant, strong evidence human skin toxicant</p><p>
Fragrance &nbsp;- non-defined begs the question pthalates?<br>
