"So fresh, so clean..."
When I was a youngster, my mom and I would wake up early every Sunday morning to clean the house. Now I know most kids would rather sleep in on a Sunday morning, but I always enjoyed these mornings that I spent hanging out with my mom - not only was it great bonding time for us, but we were also rewarded with a spotlessly clean living environment!
Even though to me, a clean home is a happy home, I was always irked about how toxic and environmentally unfriendly some of those cleaning products my mom and I used - no matter how (fake) "fresh rainwater" scented. This was especially apparent when I developed a rather unattractive rash after going gloveless while using a kitchen cleaner to clean my kitchen stove in Boston (Moral of this story: always wrap it up...in any situation!)
Luckily, I was introduced to Seventh Generation, an environmentally friendly line of cleaning and household products. Seventh Generation has recently tapped into the disinfecting power of the herb thyme to introduce a 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. I took a test run of these cleaners and - well - you can see the fabulous result above!
So a non-toxic cleaner that actually works - I guess I get to have my cake and eat it too - and on a nice clean countertop to boot!
