Green Cleanin



So over the years I have phased out many conventional products out of our home. One of the 1st things that I switched was my cleaning products. This was a hard one as I knew nothing about natural cleaning products and wondered if they would really "do the job". However if you think about it people cleaned their houses with things as simple as water and baking soda for years and years. Now you walk into a Target and you can't even focus there are so many shelves of cleaning products.
So, little by little I started trying new products. Some worked, some......well, left much to be desired. Then I tried one brand that I have stayed with ever since. Seventh Generation gets its name from the Gayaneshakgowa, the Great Law of Peace of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy. Providing wisdom to its people and the inspiration for our own country's constitution, the Gayaneshakgowa says that "in our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations. The idea that things we do, will affect generations to come now embodies all of the products they make. From household cleaner, to toilet paper to canvas bags their products are of the utmost quality and of the most natural ingredients. Best of all they combine the most wonderful scents into their products like lavender and mint and orange. Your underwear never smelt so good!
This holiday they have a great promotion going that I thought would be perfect for someone wanting to get started using alternative cleaning supplies. The free and clear starter kit comes with glass cleaner, all purpose cleaner, laundry and dish soap and a great canvas tote to start carrying your groceries in, all for $34.99. I'm even thinking of buying myself one for Christmas!
