baby steps

green cleaning

If you have read my blog for a while you know every year I try to take one more step towards being more green. This year it is switching over to using natural bio-friendly cleaning products.
I thought it was time to make a change with the products I use since I clean almost everyday in some capacity.

I am in love with the Mrs. Meyers brand and what is even better they WORK! The packaging is made from recyclable materials and smells really good too ( a + in the winner winner category for me, I like to be able to smell a clean house, right?! RIGHT). This is what I am currently using: window spray (geranium), dish soap (lavender) and countertop spray (lemon verbena), the geranium is my favorite scent followed by lavender. I've picked these up at a variety of places, Target, Wegman's and even Home Goods but in the future I think I will order straight from their site because the germanium is hard to find in my area without having to drive all over the place.

three weeks to spring, yay!!!

good for you!! I often dabble in trying to use eco friendly products and then get sucked back into my comet and windex. I think I am addicted to their smells! One day I will make the change....hopefully soon.

I have always wanted to try them but didn't want to unless they super worked. So glad to hear they do!

I love these products and they are getting harder to find in my area. I used to order direct from them but the shipping puts a bit of a damper on the price. I now buy it from Amazon, free shipping. I've tried just about all of their products and love them. I use lemon verbena for all the cleaning products but I have to have geranium for the hand wash, it's in all the bathrooms and next to the sink. Like I said, LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS!
