Welcome to Finance Foodie Presents: Pioneering Products. These series brings you the exclusive 411 at the new and cool products that have recently come into the marketplace!
"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!

My pet peeve is that right after I clean something, one of the kids or my dh will turn it into a mess. Ugh!
I'd have to say my biggest pet peeve is when people in my house leave food on the counter when they aren't using it.

I get ticked when others knowingly spill or otherwise make a mess and walk off, with the attitude the fairy maid will take care of it.
A dirty kitchen sink! Can't stand it!
My pet peeve is dirty dishes in the sink! Either put them in the dishwasher or wash them by hand!
I hate clutter. Whenever I go to my inlaws, you cannot even work on the counters in the kitchen because they are filled with junk.

Does it have to be about cleaning? If so, it would be finishing one room going to another then coming back to find first destroyed (yeah, love kids & dogs- just not the messes).

My pet peeve is people who don't clean up after their pets. Honestly, there is nothing quite as bad as walking into a home with a reeking litter box - ugh!
One pet peeve is "sprinkles" on the toilet seat, the floor, etc.
Mail stuffed back into the envelope it came in. Why do people want to keep a ripped open mess like that? You don't need it anymore. Throw the thing away.
My pet peeve is a sink full of dirty dishes. Thanks.

My pet peeve is when people don't put stuff away where it BELONGS! Cuz it takes 2 whole seconds out of your life to put it away, right?
My pet peeve is putting a dish in the sink that could be quickly rinsed off and be fine. I mean, if you just heated water in a cup in the microwave, it's not even dirty!

My biggest pet peeve is when things aren't replaced such as an empty soap dispenser or toilet paper dispenser. Or the tissue box goes missing - ugh!
One of my pet peeves is putting dirty dishes in both sides of the sink, I can cope with one, but when both have dirty dishes in them it makes me crazy.
