My Thoughts:

Despite the fact that we are constantly washing clothes in our washing machines, they too get dirty after a while. There have been times where I've wanted to put a load of clothing in the washer only to be shocked at the smell coming out of the machine! Tide Washing Machine Cleaner is the perfect solution. Families have trusted Tide for years to get our clothes clean, now we can trust them to get our washers clean and sanitized too! 

The smell of the Tide cleaner was great. It was strong, but not overpowering. It gave off a wonderfully fresh scent. Following the steps to use the cleaner was easy. It worked in no time. After I opened up my washing machine it was clear that it was spotless and smelling fantastic. The next load of laundry smelled just as good and looked perfect after they were all dry. 

I will continue to use the Tide Washing Machine Cleaner for my household's sanitary needs. I highly recommend it!

Clean Goes GREEN – with Safe, Eco-Friendly Cleaning Product Solutions! - #Giveaway

NatureZway™ Is Helping Protect Consumers and the Environment with Eco-Friendly, Chemical-Free Cleaning Products Made from Bamboo and other Naturally Sustainable Materials. 

NatureZway’s cost-effective (and Panda-Friendly) Bamboo Products include eco-alternatives to Paper Towels 100 times more absorbent than conventional brands, along with super-absorbent Bath Tissues, Sponges, Cloths, Brushes, Compostable Trash Bags, Pet Waste Bags, Floor Wipes and more. 

Going green has never been easier, safer with eco-friendly cleaning products from NatureZway. We all know that our world, environment and home is filled with toxic chemicals. NatureZway is dedicated to help make the world a better place for you and your family. 

Bamboo Rules!! NatureZway bamboo cleaning products are responsibly sourced from renewal and sustainable materials. It is interesting to note that bamboo is a member of the grass family and easily renewable. Not only is bamboo fast-growing (matures in 3 years), but takes up less space, uses less water, requires no pesticides to grow, reduces soil erosion and greenhouse gases, and captures more harmful CO2 from the atmosphere than trees or cotton.

I like eco-friendly products as much as anyone else - we've taken major steps here over the years to recycle as much as we can and minimize our waste output. Having cloth diapered for several years, I am very familiar with bamboo fabrics and their wonderful absorbency. One of the things I still need to do is get rid of the paper towels!  I use SO many of the darn things it would be nice to eliminate that waste. NatureZway offers several different cleaning products  including "paper" towels, floor wipes, sponges, and cleaning cloths as well as bath tissue, and compostable waste bags for your home and your pet cleanup. 

NatureZway is now available at select Northern California Costco locations, Target.com , reusueti.com, Amazon, and at select HyVee, Select Bed Bath & Beyond retailers & County Markets.

Exciting New Additions from Mean Green

Back in March, I told you all about Mean Green Super Strength Cleaner and how it helped me make my home sparkle. While the all purpose cleaner is an awesome product, there is still more to love about Mean Green. One amazing new addition to their line is the Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser. Now that it's practically summer, cleaning the car is top on my list of things to do.  It's not my favorite job, but Mean Green has made it easy.  I've honestly never really looked under my hood before. I've trusted my mechanic to do what needs to be done, and never thought about cleaning anything under there. However, grease can build up on your engine and should get cleaned from time to time. The Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser made my engine look ten times better than before. After just a few squirts, I saw silver chrome that I was sure had disappeared forever. 

Engines aren't the only places where grease can build up. I gave a bottle of the Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser to my mother to try out as well. She had an old oil stain on the concrete in her garage. After scrubbing the spot with Mean Green, it was like that oil was never there. It had been there for years and nothing else she tried had worked. She was thrilled with the results she got with Mean Green.

In addition to the Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser, there are also a few other new additions to the Mean Green line of cleaning products. If you love the Mean Green Super Strength Cleaner, the Heavy Duty Wipes are perfect for quick clean ups. The disposable wipes will make quick work of even your biggest messes.

And speaking of cleaning your car, how about a Car Wash in a bottle? With Mean Green Car Wash, there is no bucket required since the bottle attaches to your hose. I'll definitely  be looking for this one in my local stores! 

If you want to learn more about Mean Green and all the products they offer, check them out on their website or their social media.  Look for all these amazing products on shelves at your local stores today. Remember, there's nothing wrong with getting "mean" when it comes grease and grime.

Rejuvenate Your Stone Surfaces in Three Easy Steps With Granite Gold

Over time, your granite can lose it's shine. Its not surprising.  Life happens, and your stone surfaces can really take a beating. Everyday cleaners may actually do more harm than good. Luckily, Granite Gold in here to help. They have a full line of products that will restore the luster to granite counter tops and showers.These products are designed specifically for granite, marble, and natural stone and will help return these surfaces back to their original grander. 

Creating your stone counters was quite an interesting process. First, the stone was quarried from the earth’s surface. These stone blocks can weigh as much as 40,000 tons. They are taken to a factory for processing, where a giant gang saw using diamond blades slices the blocks into a calibrated thickness. Next, they're sent over to a polishing line. They pass under diamond polishing heads that apply thousands of pounds of pressure per square inch. Here, finer and finer grits bring out the natural polish of the stone and slabs. They are then bundled and shipped to  local stone manufacturers and installers to be further cut to meet the homeowner’s needs. Its this factory finish that enhances their inherent characteristics. like veins, swirls, and crystals, prior to installations.

As you can see, it takes a lot of time and effort to create the perfect stone surfaces. It also costs a pretty penny to have one installed in your home. The bright side is, with the right care, you counter-tops can last for decades. All it takes is the right products and three quick and easy steps.

The first step is to keep your stone services clean. This is always important, especially in the kitchen where you are preparing food. However, with stone surfaces, you have to be especially careful. The Granite Gold Daily Cleaner is a streak free formula that kills bacteria, but won't damage surfaces like other cleaning products. It even has a fresh citrus scent.

The second step in the process is using a sealer on your stone surfaces. The Granite Gold Sealer comes in a simple spray bottle. Just spritz and wipe away to maintain a barrier on natural stone. This sealant will protect against stains, etching, and soil build up.

The final step, and possibly the most important, is polishing. Granite Gold offers a polish that will restore the luster and shine to any counter-top.  When you use the polish after cleaning, it brings out the stone's natural attributes. It also provides ongoing protection against water spots and fingerprints It works wonders on quartz surfaces such as Silestone, Corian and Cambria.

If you're kitchen or bathroom is looking dull, Granite Gold® may be just what you need to bring some life back into your granite, stone, or marble surfaces. These fantastic products are available nationwide at Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Amazon.com. To find a retailer near you, be sure to check out their convenient store locator. Granite Gold is a third generation, family-owned company with a long history of bringing out the best in stone. Invite them into your home today, and polish things to perfection.
