It's time again for the chest barring confession, but miss goodies two shoes here, was having a hard time coming up with something until my friend E. sent me an email from Ideal Bite. Known for it's 'bite sized tips for light green living', the post from the new year got me thinking about what I use for cleaning products.
My rather lame confession is that I still use non-biodegradable, big carbon footprint, full of phosphates, and bad for the environment household cleansers. For those of you that are interested in healthier cleaning products than you currently use (that includes me) here is a list Ideal Bite compiled.
- Eco-Me Starter Kit - if you think you could never make your own cleaning products, this practically does it for you ($26).
- Sh-Mop - Swiffer-like mop with reusable microfiber mop tops ($13).
- Caldrea Powdered Scrub - scrub down surfaces without getting too abrasive ($8).
- Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner - biodegrades once flushed, with a nice, minty scent ($6).
- Sun & Earth Deep Cleaning Laundry Detergent - liquid eco-detergent with no artificial perfumes or petroleum-based solvents ($6).
- Ecover Stain Remover - works on tough stains so you won't have to run the washer for just one shirt ($5).
- Method Wood for Good - polish up with this great-smelling concoction ($5).
- Mrs Meyer's Carpet Cleaner - in 2007, they've resolved to get parabens out of all their product formulas. This stuff works great for spotty rugs ($5).
- Mrs Meyer's Dish Soap - we LOVE the geranium-scented version ($5).
- Earth Friendly Products Window Kleener - coconut + lavender = streak-free windows ($4).
- Ecover All-Purpose Cleaner - veggie-based formula with a great lemon fragrance ($4)
