Natural Cleaners review

Hey It's G here!


In our quest to live a non-toxic healthy life I am on a journey to find cleaners that are natural as much as they are powerful. 


Mrs.Meyers 
Clean Dry          Lavender


Pros:
  • All purpose cleaner can be used to clean bathrooms,kitchens,floor etc.
  • Cruelty-free
  • Biodegradable
  • 25% Post consumer plastic
  • Aromatherapeutic apparently lavender helps with fatigue & is suppose to be relaxing
  • A little goes a long way only 1/4 cup need for 1 gallon of liquid
  • Doesn't seem to leave residues on the floor
  • Cuts grease effectively
Cons:
  • Smells kind of like an old women's perfume
  • Not antibacterial
  • Expensive 32 oz cost around $9
  • Eye irritant
  • Harmful when swallowed 
Final Thoughts:
I really liked this cleaner.It makes the floors feels really clean with no sort of weird film or residue. The scent was okay.I would of liked a more mild scent but the scent does completely dissipate when dried. We cook a lot as you may imagine and its gets greasy in our kitchen.This cleaner did a great job of breaking up that grease and making the floor feel clean. I would of liked an antibacterial cleaner but I may add vinegar to help kill off any nasties.I give this a 8 out of 10.


7th Generation
Lemongrass & Clementine Zest



Pros:
  •  Scent is great not overpowering & very fresh
  •  A little goes a long way
  • Biodegradable 
  • No dyes or synthetic fragrances
  • No phosphates
  • Cuts grease very well
  • Gentle on hands
  • 96% recycled plastic
  • Cruelty-free
  • Fairly priced at $ 3.27 for 25 oz
  • No film or residue on dishes
Cons:
  • Not antibacterial
Final thoughts:
First natural cleaning product I've tried and I love it! Suds up really well cuts through grease probably because it's citrus based. I love the scent and honestly would wear lotion with this scent! I am excited to try other scents and would definitely recommend to others. Also not antibacterial but maybe i am a germaphobe. Besides being clean is not something that is natural. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

Clorox Green Works Cleaning Wipes

Pros:
  • Price is only about a dollar more than regular clorox wipes
  • Easy to find available at most retailers
  • Compostable
  • 99% Naturally derived
  • Not tested on animals
Cons:
  • Very thin
  • Does not clean throughly 
  • Small wipes
  • Not antibacterial 
  • A bit dry
Final Thoughts
I was not impressed by these wipes.I felt they were dry much like a damp towel and didn't feel they had much cleaning power. The cleaner on these feel like there is nothing to cut grease or remove stains in it. I will not be buying these wipes again although they are very easily obtained though most retailers since they are clorox brand.I give them a 5 out of 10.
