Household Products I Love…

April 7, 2009 By kelly Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking for awhile that I should post about some of the household products that we use and love in our house. Alright, so LOVE might be a bit strong, but these are definitely some favorites around our home.

Palmolive pure + clear

This is a great dish detergent! It works great even on greasy dishes or food that is stuck to plates, etc. I really appreciate that it’s more natural than a lot of other dish detergents on the market. There are no unnecessary chemicals and no phosphates in this product. Additionally, the bottle is made from recycled plastic. If you are looking for a great earth-friendly dish product, this is a great choice. Works great and is ecologically sensitive. A+ product!

Palmolive eco

palmolive_ecoThis is my new favorite dishwasher detergent. I very much appreciate that it doesn’t contain any phosphates. (However, please be aware that it does contain chlorine bleach if this is an issue for anyone.) I find that Palmolive eco cleans our dishes beautifully and doesn’t leave any residue. Additionally, this product goes a long way. We used to buy the little chalky tabs that go into the dishwasher. Not anymore. This liquid works better and lasts way longer. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this product is truly “green”, but in my experience it is more ecological friendly than a lot of other dishwasher detergents on the market today.

Murphy’s Oil Soap

Murphy’s Oil Soap is an incredibly versatile cleaning product. The original formula cleans most all surfaces including wood, laminate, vinyl, marbel and MORE. Murphy’s is made from mostly natural ingredients and contains no ammonia, bleach or harsh detergents. It is also biodegradable which is a huge plus in my book. And, to me, the smell is incredible. There is a light, almost citronella, scent to Murphy’s which smells so clean to me without being overpowering or intrusive. Excellent product!

Clorox Green Works Products

green_works1I have tried almost all of these products and really like each one. The only one I haven’t tried yet is the bathroom cleaning spray. Otherwise, I have been very pleased with all the rest of these products. They work GREAT! These products are made with mostly natural ingredients and are safe for families. That is obviously an appeal to us. Now, again, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that they are completely “green”, but I do appreciate that they are markedly better than many other products on the market today. I also appreciate that the packaging used is recycled and that no animal testing is done on these products.

Arm & Hammer Essentials

This is another eco-friendly cleaning product that I really like. Each formula comes with a bottle of concentrated cleaner that is diluted with water in the spray bottle. This efficient packaging method produces less waste which is a huge plus. Each product contains plant based materials with no ammonia or phosphates. These work really well too. Another great eco-friendly product!
