Ecostore USA + Giveaway!


Growing up in a health conscious family, I've always been a label reader, and concerned about the quality of both the foods I consume, and the products that I use. When I was contacted by ecostore usa, to review their household cleaners, the first thing I looked for was information on their ingredients. Impressively, I had to look no further than their website home page to find a link to the ingredients of their entire line. The New Zealand developed products are plant and mineral based, which intrigued me, because I'm very concerned about exposing my children to the high levels of toxic chemicals found in most commercial cleaners.


From the recycled packaging the cleaners arrived in, down to the products themselves, I was very impressed with the integrity of the ecostore line. 

I was sent a bottle of the Lemon Cream Cleanser, and the Naturally Antibacterial Spray Cleaner.


Immediately, I put the Lemon Cream Cleanser to use. We live in a 60+ year old house, and I believe the tub is just as old. I have tried and tried to remove the soap scum and stains that have accumulated over the years, but, I'd resigned myself to the fact that it was just old, and something we'd have to live with. Creamy, with the look and feel of a gentle soft soap, the Lemon Cream Cleanser, restored my tub to tip top conditions. Minimally scented, there was only the faint fresh smell of lemons after cleaning, and because it contains no harsh abrasive chemicals, my hands were left soft and unscathed.


I then used it on my kitchen sink, and the splatter guard on my stove, and the outside of my refrigerator, all with fantastic results.


The Naturally Antibacterial Spray Cleaner came at the perfect time, considering I have two little boys who are still perfecting their aim, shall we say, and whether it's in the bathroom or beyond, I feel safe following up after all of their spills and messes with this fantastic cleaner that contains no nasty chemicals.


Please check them out, and let me know what you think. One of you will be chosen randomly, on April 22, for a $25 dollar gift certificate, so, don't forget to comment with a link so I can contact you. (This is limited to the U.S.)

If I win the giveaway, do I actually have to CLEAN my house? Can I promise that someone will use the products, even if it's not me? ;) Great product, I love eco friendly products... it just feels better to use them.

Can relatives enter the contest? I tried the cleaner at your house over Easter weekend and I immediately wanted to know where to get it!

Well, I'm not much of a cleaner as you may recall. But I do love a good product. Maybe it will inspire me!

one of the best parts of working at home is being able to clean as a form of work procrastination. I finally have a distraction that is actually positive. If cleaning also smelled like vanilla, I would be unstoppable!
