Better Life Review & Giveaway




I am a clean freak and my house always has to be in order and sparkling clean. But I hate chemicals. I hate the way they smell and I'm afraid of what they might be doing to the health of my family. So I am always on the look out for awesome green cleaning products. There are a lot of them out here but many of them are either extremely expensive or don't work very well.  But the products available from Better Life are different. They are great green products that live up to their promises of a true clean. And they are affordable for the average household.


I was lucky enough to be able to try out a whole selection of the products in the Better Life line.  The What-EVER multi purpose cleaner was amazing. It cut through kitchen grease and even spaghetti sauce cleaned up easily.  The bathroom cleaner removed hard water stains in the bathroom, and the floor cleaner made the kitchen floor shine. Their Glass Cleaner left mirrors and windows sparkling and streak free. But it also worked great on counter tops, the stove top, and even the microwave. They even have special formulas for the nursery and  granite counter tops. Whatever area in your home needs to get clean, you can find just what you need at Better Life.

Aside from their great cleaning power, I love the light crisp scents. Most are have a citrus or lavender scent which is refreshing but not overpowering. I especially loved the lavender and chamomile stainless steel polish. Its like an air freshener and a cleaner all in one. There are no harsh chemical smells  that make you cough or gag and I don't have to worry about using it when the baby is in the room. Their concentrated formulas save you time and money  because a little bit will go a long way. And most importantly, each one is made from 100% naturally-derived and sustainable ingredients.

Wouldn't you love to try out these amazing cleaning products in your home? One lucky winner is going to receive a starter package from Better Life to try for themselves.

  60. Over 99% of the ingredients are natural or derived from natural, renewable resources, and the formulas have no aquatic or terrestrial toxicity . they use no nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) because they mess with the reproductive systems of marine life.
