All about enzymes
I’ve seen a whole lot of ‘enzyme’ cleaners lately – laundry detergents, kitchen cleaners, bathroom cleaners, hardwood cleaners. It seems like they’re all invading my path all of a sudden. They sure sound nice – kind of sciencey, but a little zany and green too. Enzyme. I just like to say it. But is it [...]
Magic Eraser review
Of the ‘conventional’ cleaners out there Magic Eraser is a little different. No powder, no liquid, just a little white sponge. It got a bad rap a while back due to an email that went around claiming that it’s filled with formaldehyde. The truth is, there’s no formaldehyde in it, according to the manufacturer and [...]
More on Clorox GreenWorks
We wrote a post about GreenWorks when it was first released, and most of our readers commented that they love it. We did have one complaint about the All-purpose cleaner, but the reader didn’t tell us how she used it or why she was disappointed. The word on the street is that it’s an [...]
Broom Huggers is switching loyalties!
There are so many great companies out there who make non-toxic, safe, environmentally-friendly cleaners. As a company, it’s always hard to weigh the pros and cons of each and make an informed decision about what to use. Until now we’ve been using Organic Excellence (whoops! There goes a trade secret), and we were quite happy [...]
SC Johnson goes green – or does it?
SC Johnson has come up with a new ‘green’ rating system for their own products. Just days after Clorox rolled out their GreenWorks line, SC Johnson is responding with their “Greenlist.” Some of their products, including Windex, Pledge, Fantastik Orange Action, and Toilet Duck will have the Greenlist label slapped on the front.

This is the first product launch of this type by a major consumer brand, and it’s Clorox’s first new brand launch in [...]
WFMW: Tired of laundry sheets?

Method to my madness
I was so excited when earlier this month I walked into Target and saw that Method had their new holiday scents out! I use a lot of Method products at my house so already knowing what the company stands stands for I grabbed up my favorite holiday scent, cinnamon bark, and waltzed [...]
Bathroom cleaners
The Green Guide, published by National Geographic, has a guide to bathroom cleaners in their weekly edition. It’s highly worthwhile reading, rating a variety of greener cleaners and also giving information about worst offenders in terms of ingredients.
So if you’re in the market, or just wanting a good starting place for more information, go check [...]
Barefoot reviews
The great people over at Barefoot Home Essentials sent us an introduction set of products to try out. Try we did, and love we do. They have all-natural all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, disinfecting spray, and room freshener. How do we love thee? Let me count the ways…
The all-purpose cleaner has something we’ve never found in [...]
