Green Review and Giveaway #2 -Eco-Me Natural Scrub Cleanser

GIVEAWAY IS OVER...THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!

So sorry this is late...work has been getting busy and today was one of those days and on top of it my Mom was in town. I had a lot going on!

On with business....

SURPRISE a Green Cleaner! I told you I am obsessed! This time I was fortunate enough to be able to try a wonderful Scrub Cleanser from Eco-Me

This product is different from others I have tried, you mix it your self. It comes with everything you need. The container, baking soda, vinegar and essential oil all you add is a little water!

I was excited to use this on my bath tub. I thought it might be a good idea to mix it over the tub...we all remember the volcano's from science class in grade school? Baking soda and vinegar foam! This step needs to be done VERY SLOWLY! Of course at first it was not slow enough, so I was glad I had the foresight to mix it over the tub. Other then that mixing it was a breeze.

As for the cleaning...it did a great job and it smelled wonderful. It did not even leave a lot of white baking soda residue, which I do not like. This is another reason I tried it in my tub....what little that was left behind washed off in the next shower.

From their Web site:

At Eco-Me, we’re concerned about how toxins are affecting lives and the world around us. Because of this, we are committed to sharing the latest research with you. Read the eye-opening information below and make sure to head to our Household Safety section to learn more. Also, check back to find the latest information about our company and discover compelling research about topics that affect every one of us. After all, isn’t it time to change the way we clean our environment, homes and bodies?

DID YOU KNOW?
Any chemical is toxic if you ingest enough of it. The government has set benchmarks for toxicity and a product is generally considered not toxic if the lethal dose is greater than 5 grams per kilogram of body weight (2 ounces for a 25 lb child or 12 ounces for a 150 lb adult). Warning labels on containers refer only to toxic hazards from ingestion, but most products are absorbed through inhalation and skin absorption. Labels that have the following statements should be removed from your house as they pose a risk to your health: “Do not induce vomiting”–“Corrosive - rinse skin immediately”—“fatal if swallowed”–“Danger”–“Poison”

How do you clean your home? Remember that when you spray a chemical solution onto a surface a small percentage is left behind as well as emitted into the air. Use Eco-Me Home Kits to clean your home without any chemicals and still remove up t0 99% bacteria and germs!

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and acts like a giant sponge. When you take a bath, are you soaking in left over cleaners? Have you ever coughed or gagged after using a spray product, broken out in a rash for unknown reasons, have your eyes ever watered and become red and itchy upon entering a room after if was cleaned with chemical based products? Most people answer yes to these questions and find it shocking how many chemicals are stored and used daily in their homes. But, the good news is that you can choose complete natural cleaning products by choosing Eco-Me.

The nice people at Eco-Me have given me one element "kit" of their Natural Scrub Cleanser for one of my lucky readers

Green Review and Giveaway #1 -Better Life Cleaning Products

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER GIVEAWAYS AND THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED!!!

Hi and welcome...I had a very relaxing spring break and now I am ready to jump back into the daily grind! This week I will be having a full week of Green/Natural products reviews and giveaways. I am so excited for this so check back daily!

Now on to today's review....Better Life Green Cleaning Products.

You may have figured this out already but I am addicted to Green Cleaning products, all of them. I have been so lucky to have been able to try some fabulous products all wonderful and yet different. So of course I was excited when these great Green products arrived on my door step.

First a little from their web site::

PEOPLE
The Soylent Green reference aside, people are our most valuable resource. Why would anybody make a product that isn’t safe for us? Better Life blends highly specialized surfactants made from sugar, starch, and amino acids — all safe stuff. You’ll never see sulfates, ethoxylates, fragrances, dyes, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as glycol ethers and alcohols in our products. VOCs vaporize, entering the air we breathe. They’re triggers for respiratory problems, nausea, headaches, and skin irritation, and contribute to many more ailments.

PLANET
We screen hundreds of ingredients, choosing only the ones that are both effective, and have the fastest, most complete biodegradability profiles. All of our products have rapid biodegradation profiles. Over 99% of the ingredients we use are natural or derived from natural, renewable resources, and the formulas have no aquatic or terrestrial toxicity (making for some very happy amphibians). We use no nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) because it messes with the reproductive systems of marine life — and kids love fish and frogs.

PERFORMANCE
With all the harsh chemicals gone, you’d wonder how Better Life products perform. Our products are setting the standard for green cleaning products. That’s not just a claim; we can back it up. As for traditional solvent-based cleaners? Bring ’em on. Yup, even without solvents, silicones, VOCs, ethoxylates, petroleum–based ingredients, or harsh surfactants they really do work better. Better technologies. Better thinking. Better chemistry. Better solutions. That’s what Better Life’s about.

**A percentage of our profits go to non–profit organizations who share our vision and passion for monk–like cleanliness in our houses, lives and planet.

All of their products are GLUTEN FREE!!!!!

Here is what the generous folks at Better Life sent me to try:

Simply Floored....I was very excited to try this product as we have a lot of hard wood floors in our house and I have tried other Green floor products and have not been overly thrilled. They cleaned them but left them looking dull and a bit sticky/tacky. This was NOT the case with this product. I am in love with it! It did a fabulous job cleaning my floors and left them nice and streak free and not sticky/tacky at all, I will be ordering this from them on a regular basis for sure!

The next product had me just as excited as the Simply floored...Even the Kitchen Sink

I normally just use baking soda to scrub out my sink but we all know that it can leave that White "film" if not rinsed good enough. Well rinsing too long uses a lot of water! Not good! So when I tried this I was so excited that it not only made my stainless steal kitchen sink sparking clean it rinsed off fast and did not leave the white residue that Baking Soda does. It is very gentle but powerful, I loved it!

Next was....what-EVER!

A wonderful all purpose cleaner. I used this in my kitchen on the counters and my black appliances and in my bathroom it work great. And smelled wonderful, I tried the Clary Sage and Citrus scent.

Then I gave this to a friend to try as i do not have babies and they do....2am Miracle

My friends we very exited to try this and they have a new baby and we all know that as cute as they are they can be a bit stinky and messy! They said this was a great product and cleaned up their sweet little girls spit up with no problem and it even took the smell out. They love this product!!

All in all I have to say I was very impressed with their products. Now for the fun part the giveaway.....

The wonderful people at Better Life are giving one of my lucky readers 1 of everything I reviewed...YES!!! You read that Correctly one winner will receive:

Simply Floored
Even the Kitchen Sink
