FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PROCYON® Products Are First Cleaning Products to be Certified under Green Seal’s Revised GS-37
Washington, DC — January 29, 2009. Washington, D.C. based non-profit Green Seal, the premier independent ecolabel
in the United States, is excited to announce that Plus Manufacturing’s Soap Free PROCYON products are the first
products to meet the new criteria of GS-37, Green Seal’s Environmental Standard for Institutional and Industrial Cleaners.
The fourth edition of GS-37, released August of 2008, tightened the restrictions regarding reproductive toxins and volatile
organic compounds as well as prohibited phthalates, and chemicals known to cause asthma. This updated standard now
goes further than any national cleaning product standard in protecting human health and the environment. Products
certified under the new GS-37 standard are among the greenest cleaning products available on the market.
Plus Manufacturing, Inc. is proud to acknowledge that over the past 30-years they have not changed a single thing about
their PROCYON products. Since the company’s inception, they have maintained a high level of commitment to the
environment, and equally _ if not more importantly in their mind _ to human health. Plus Manufacturing’s founder Ivan
Day says, “Soap free, odor free cleaning is not going anywhere; in fact, we have seen this concept changing the world.
We see thousands of schools, colleges, health care facilities and professionals, who stand with us in changing the way
the world thinks about soap free cleaning today”, He goes on to say, “One day the detergents will disappear in this
industry. I still believe in the next three years that everyone in this industry will be soap free / detergent free, odor free and
green”.
