Unique Green Cleaning Products That Make Cleaning Fun!

safbaby2 | August 21, 2009 | 0 Comments

Better Life has a line of green cleaning products that we think would be a fabulous gift for any hard to shop for mom, dad, baby sitter, or better yet….. a very unique and useful baby shower gift too!

“What?”, you may be asking.  “Cleaning products for a gift?  Come on now.”  And our answer is ABSOLUTELY!

These chemical free, non-toxic cleaning products are a safe alternative to many cleaners that include harmful substances inside such as bleach, ammonium, VOCs, petrochemicals, sodium laurel sulfates, artificial colors/fragrances, and the list goes on and on.  You can read more about those dangers here, and understand a little bit more why the average American consumes a concoction of toxic chemicals before they even consume breakfast. But I want to spend this review talking about how great these safe cleaners are for your home and your loved ones.

The Better Life Starter Kit ‘CleanHappens’ For Green Cleaning

The Better Life Starter Kit comes with 4 fabulous products that anyone who lives in a home can use:

  1. Even The Kitchen Sink
  2. I Can See Clearly WOW!
  3. Simply Floored!
  4. what-EVER!

Aren’t the names of these products so inventive?  And get a load of the labels, really hip and fun!  We love that Better Life has brought this theme of colorful creativity and light-hearted humor into cleaning!  Kind of happily sets the tone for me while I am scrubbing my toilets and floors.  :)

But, they don’t stop there.  This set additionally comes with a grouping of 100% Biodegradable sponges, loofah and euro.  And if that hasn’t got you in the eco-friendly feeling clean-up spirit, the handy tote bag that packages this home saver is tree hugging too!

Honestly, I get so many compliments on this bag that I have to mention it here.  The reusable, light weight canvas bag, is compartmentalized in a way that holds each product in it’s own spot.  I have reused this bag to pack beach lunches in and also take it to the store when I go for a wine run!  Collapses and stores easy.

Although the entire package is simply adorable and delightful, we would be vain to leave our likings only to the top surface.  Let us dissect these individual products a little more for you.

A Safe Alternative To Ajax

Even the Kitchen Sink is a soft abrasive cleaner that I have used in my  kitchen sinks, in my tubs and bathroom sinks.  Grime came right out of the sink.  And I have to say that I love sharing a bath with my darling 3 year old after cleaning the tub with this safe alternative gentle scrubber, because soaking in residue from toxin cleaners just isn’t relaxing, or smart.

Ingredients:
Purified water, calcium carbonate (gentle natural abrasive), natural corn-based surfactant, coconut oil surfactant, coconut oil, vegetable wax, xanthan gun, preservative which is less than 0.01%.

A Safe Alternative to the Swifter

When I mop my floors I like to use old towels to pick any water.  No waste there.

Additionally I enjoy rolling around on our floors in silly giggle sessions with my little one.  She loves to tumble on them and has quite the nack for dancing too.  What I am trying to get at is that we spend lots of time on our wood floors and I am happy to know that she is not sweetly toe-tapping and innocently inhaling dangerous toxins.  This product, Simply Floored, gets sudsy with out sodium laurel sulfates and leaves a light and refreshing scent of pure cleanliness.  My floors look and feel really really clean, and that makes my entire home seems 100% nicer to play in.

Ingredients:

Purified water, blend of natural coconut and corn-based surfactants, vegetable glycerin, pure essential oils of spearmint, grapefruit and bergamot, less than 0.08% preservative.

A Safe Alternative to Windex

Yep, no ammonium here folks!

Ingredients:

Purified water, coconut surfactant, vegetable-based surfactant, less that 0.08% preservative.

A Safe Alternative All Purpose Cleaner to Lysol

what-EVER! has been used by us in every room of our house.  The clary sage and citrus smells are wonderful!  (Just let your pregnant mama know that clary sage may help to induce labor, so use this one AFTER the baby is born to keep her dearest infant in a home that is clean and non-toxic!  Honestly, she would have to be sniffin’ alot of what-EVER to induce any labor, but just thought we’d mention it. ;)

Additionally we really like the idea, that under our complete supervision, our daughters can “help” us clean the house with these products.  I would never put a bottle of your typical commercial cleaner in my daughter’s hands, but with this product I let her spray and I wipe and she feels quite accomplished as a big-girl helper.

Ingredients:  Purified water, coconut surfactant, vegetable-based surfactant, natural amino acid surfactant, pure essential oils of clary safe and lemon, less that 0.08% preservative.

So, if you are looking to bring refreshment into your natural green cleaning sessions at home, here you go.  Gift this to someone you love and help them to live in a greener, happier place too!

The Better Life Starter Kit sells for just $35.55 and includes free shipping!
