With this amazing weather we've been having here in Northern Illinois it has kicked off the yearly tradition of Spring Cleaning! Now, with spring cleaning, many households would pull out harmful chemical laiden cleaning sprays, wipes, and liquids. Blah. Many of you know that I do not care for these types of cleaners and gave them up years ago! Now, when given the opportunity to try Seventh Generation's new botanical disinfecting cleaning kit I was thrilled! The house is now clean and I feel good knowing that my kids aren't breathing in harmful fumes. But be forwarned...the lemongrass and thyme scent is what I would consider strong and potent. Seventh Generation has tapped into the disinfecting power of the herb thyme, to introduce an EPA registered line of disinfecting sprays and wipes that kill germs naturally! The new line of botanical disinfectant cleaners includes a multi-surface cleaning spray, bathroom cleaning spray and wipes.
Among the cleaning supplies I also recieved The Conscious Kitchen: The New Way to Buy and Cook Food - to Protect the Earth, Improve Your Health, and Eat Deliciously
Now, I received a Seventh Generation “Disinfecting Cleaning Kit” that included a disinfecting multi-surface cleaner, bathroom cleaner, wipes , a copy of The Conscious Kitchen, a cleaning caddy made from recycled plastic, and two rolls of 100% recycled, unbleached paper towels. I was also allotted another package to give away to one of my lucky readers! Yeah!!!

ReplyDeleteI have done a few things this year... some of them are composting household and yard waste to some level (I'm still learning!) having my own garden, using reusable bags while shopping and buying more natural products for cleaning and laundry. I also am trying to recycle paper and plastics more as well.
