CEDARWOOD BUSINESS GOOD FOR HOME, HEALTH
AND ENVIRONMENT
How one small company has been encouraging greener homes for 25 years
MIAMI (January 26, 2009) – It sounds surprising, but chopping down trees can actually be good for the environment. One small company has been proving this since 1984, before it was “in” to be eco-conscious and when green was just a color. That’s when Cedar Fresh started making it their business to replace chemical home storage repellents with a natural—and non-endangered—wood that has some very unique and marvelous benefits.
The rest is history. A small company success story, Cedar Fresh has now been producing 100% cedar home storage products that slow mildew and repel pests like moths and roaches naturally for twenty-five years. In the eighties, they were the first to produce a cedar “moth ball” as a natural alternative to chemical moth balls that have since been linked to cancer, skin irritations, headaches and hemolytic anemia in children.
The company has always been environmentally conscious, taking advantage of the natural overgrowth of non-endangered Juniperus Virginiana, commonly known as aromatic or eastern red cedar, in rural US areas to make cedar wood blocks, balls, hangers and natural air fresheners. When the fast-growing and equally fast-spreading trees start creeping into farmlands and become a nuisance for area farmers and homeowners, they are encouraged to harvest the trees instead of destroying them. Socially conscious as well, a large number of their products are produced at a mill that provides development and work activity for adults with disabilities.
Benefits of Eastern Red Cedar
Used for centuries in travel trunks and bridal hope chests, aromatic eastern red cedar has been scientifically proven to provide many benefits including repelling moths, carpet beetles, cockroaches and silverfish, while giving off a forest-fresh, pine-like fragrance with such soothing qualities that it is often used in spa treatments and aromatherapy products. As a fragrance, natural cedar is also a great, chemical-free defense that can combat mustiness and mildew in storage spaces, shoes, closets, kitchen and other areas of the home.
