We've used their products on and off for awhile now, but we were recently reintroduced to some newer disinfecting products by Seventh Generation! Here are some of the things that we've been using around the house to get "Spring Clean!"
Bathroom cleaner - I love that this product works well on stinky surfaces (we do have 4 boys in the house) and doesn't overpower me with a chemical smell.
Wipes - The wipes are probably my favorite! They make wiping up the bathroom sink (toothpaste and yuckies) a breeze, and I feel OK about my daughter using them to help around the house.
These products have worked well to disinfect my grungiest areas, and have gone a long way towards helping me rid my home of not just germs --- but also toxic cleaners that could endanger my family!
Wanna Win? To be entered to receive a Cleaning Kit from Seventh Generation (includes products, a cleaning caddy made from recycled plastic, some paper towels, and a copy of the book Conscious Kitchen), just comment on this post with one thing you're doing to make your home cleaner and safer this year!

We are cleaning out clutter - that is our main goal. We are also starting to baby proof our home. He's only five months now... but time will fly and we'll be glad we started early! This win would be great considering I've been wanting to start using safe cleaners in our home exclusively. This would give me that jump start I need!
ReplyDeleteThanks.

To make our home cleaner and safer we are decluttering. We also use 7th Generations dishliquid.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to try to figure out of bathroom problems! We have no ventilation in there (thank you, Mr. Builder), so it gets very humid in there and mold and mildew can grow in a day! I hate that stuff, so it's time to deal! Less mold equals more safe.
ReplyDeleteI use white vinegar instead of fabric softener in the laudry. It is cheaper, gets rid of smells better,and is safer.
