As I near the end of my pregnancy, I am definitely finding myself in “Nesting” mode. I’ve always been a bit of a clean freak but never thought too much about the chemicals in my products. We all know that little ones put everything into their mouths and touch every surface possible and it’s a great feeling to know that there’s a product out there that uses non-toxic ingredients, free of harsh chemicals. I have heard about Seventh Generation cleaning products and was ecstatic to try them out for the first time! I received my Free & Clear kit in the mail and now I never want to use anything else! One thing I love about their products is the scent. There isn’t a harsh bleach smell lingering around my house. Most of it is odorless and some of the products contain a very light lemongrass and thyme aroma. Each item is packaged in recycled or biodegradable material which is also great for the environment. Here is a breakdown of what I got to try out:
Disinfecting Multi-Surface Spray– as a teacher, I developed a habit of spraying things down and I do the same in my own home. I used this daily on my countertops and kitchen table. It was great at helping with those messy spills leftover from a day of cooking and preparing snacks and meals.
Disinfecting Bathroom Spray- I loved this for my bathroom counter and sink. Like I mentioned earlier, most cleaners smell so strong and this gets the job done without making me feel light headed!
Disinfecting Wipes – 35 ct. – These wipes would be a teacher’s dream- we use them for everything! I also plan to pack some of these in the car for sticky fingers.
Laundry Detergent – I love that this detergent is mild enough to do baby laundry but is also strong enough to wash our other household laundry- even my husband’s dirt covered construction clothes at the end of a work day.
Liquid Fabric Softener – I have to admit, this is something I’ve never purchased before but it sure is a luxury I could get used to- perfect for towels and blankets especially.
Dish liquid – Although I have a dishwasher, I find that I wash all of my pots and pans by hand. This dish liquid is great, not too runny or thick.
All- Purpose Cleaner- My favorite feature about this spray is that it even works great for cleaning my kitchen floors!
Auto-Dish Pacs – This is another product I’ve never tried before. I usually use powder form but this is much quicker, cleaner and gets my dishes super sparkly clean without streaks.
Glass Cleaner- I love that this spray doesn’t leave a residue behind on the mirrors and windows in my house.
Natural Paper Towels– We go through a lot of paper towels in our house whether it be for cleaning purposes or as a napkin. I like that these towels are made from 100% recycled paper which makes me feel a whole more inclined to use them on such a frequent basis.
Seventh Gen Recycled Bag– I love recycled bags and I’ll proudly take this one to the store for grocery shopping any day!
