Truman’s has a line of cleaning products that are non toxic , but really get the job done. Whats even better is they cost less then , then the other house hold cleaners. You are just paying for the cleaning ingredients the pods go into the spray bottle and you add your own water to it. Truman‘s Starter Kit starts at $15.00 what could be better. Because you add water at home, the bottles ship empty, dramatically reducing the company’s carbon footprint compared to competitors who ship a solution that is 98% water from factories to distributors to retailers and, ultimately, to homes.
