Earth Friendly Cleaning
Another resolution that I am going to be making this year is staying on top of my house when it comes to cleaning. I’ve been told numerous times by my sisters and mom that if I would just stay on top of it then I don’t have to spend hours one day cleaning. It seems to work for all of them, so I thought I would set a goal for myself this year to keep my house cleaner. And why not do that while keeping the environment in mind? EcoStore USA has a line of products that includes Eco friendly cleaners, and green bath and body and baby care products.
Pros: EcoStore sent me a few of their cleaning products to try out, the Citrus Spray Cleaner and Dishwash Liquid. I always keep an purpose cleaner on hand that I use in my kitchen and other hard surfaces around my house. I try to make sure my boys are not too close by because I know what harsh chemicals a lot of brands use in their cleaners.
The Citrus Spray Cleaner from EcoStore works with a Citrus based solvent to clean even the toughest of messes and contains no nasty chemicals at the same time. All of the ingredients are listed on the website and I knew what they all were which doesn’t happen very often when I read a label in a cleaner.
The smell is nice and fresh without being overpowering, and the packaging is nice too. I like that the spray nozzle has a flip top rather than having to turn it to get it to spray.
The Dishwashing Liquid is also natural and is great at cutting the grease. It’s ultra concentrated so you get the job done with just a tiny bit. I used about a half teaspoon in the picture below and as you can see, it was more than enough for my dishes.
I also felt like this liquid wasn’t over drying. I have very dry and sensitive skin to begin with so doing the dishes always makes my hands feel really dry. My hands still felt a bit dry after doing the dishes but it wasn’t nearly as bad as when I use my normal dishwashing liquid.
Cons: I could see that maybe the price points may be a bit of a con for some. The Citrus Cleaner retails for $9 and the Dishwashing liquid for $8.50. However, the Eco benefits are worth the price and the dishwashing liquid is actually very cost effective when you consider how little you have to use.
You also always get free shipping on orders of $25 or more, and it saves you a trip to the store!
Price: $9 for Citrus based cleaner (17 ounces), $8.50 for the Dishwashing Liquid (17 ounces)

I actually have (and LOVE) their Rinse agent. I’ve never used one before but it really makes a HUGE difference. I would love to try their liquid landrey detergent, too.
