Eco-Home Style: Household Products We Recommend
By ShesGoingGreen.com



Seventh Generation Liquid Detergent
I do not wash my family's dishes with anything other that Seventh Generation's dishwashing liquid. I am extremely partial to their new Lavender and Mint blend. It smells amazing! And when the dish detergent goes down the drain it's not going to contribute to killing nature and animals; in fact it's biodegradable, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic and is gently scented with whole and natural plant essences. Although the price is a little higher than buying a 99 cent bottle of dish detergent you'll rest easier knowing that when you wash dishes you're doing your part to keep our earth clean.

A REAL PLUS! Seventh Generation's liquid detergent smells so good it's like getting an at-home dose of aromatherapy every time you clean the kitchen.


ECOVER All Purpose Cleaner
Cleaning my home was always a chore until I started using all-natural products -- they simply smell wonderful which makes cleaning up a whole lot more enjoyable! I am in love with ECOVER's All Purpose Cleaner. It's 100 percent biodegradable, is made of plant based ingredients and causes minimum impact on aquatic life when it goes into our drain systems.

The All Purpose Cleaner comes in a natural lemon fragrance and is absolutely delightful. It never leaves a film and is safe for all washable surfaces.

A REAL PLUS:
Again, I cannot reiterate enough how good their All Purpose Cleaner smells. Aaah! As I am writing this review I just opened the cap and smelled it. So beautiful.

 

ECOVER Toilet Bowl Cleaner
As a mom I am more concerned about how the products I buy affect my household. I love that these biodegradable products place minimal harm on the environment. I'm more happy, though, that I am putting less chemicals in my home.

I never clean my toilet with anything other than ECOVER's toilet bowl cleaner. I love the rosemary pine fragrance blend and I also love how the creamy soap doesn't leave harsh marks in the bowl.

A REAL PLUS!
For the price there is nothing better than being able to buy a great cleaning product that doesn't smell severely toxic, but instead leaves a natural rosemary and pine fragrance in your bathroom.



Seventh Generation Bathroom Tissue
OK, I have to admit buying all-natural bathroom tissue can be seen to many as an unnecessary expense, especially since it's going down the pipes anyway. But here's why I buy it. Every time I pick up a roll it says:

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 500 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save:

* 448,000 trees,
* 1.1 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 1,700 full garbage trucks,
* and 161 million gallons of water, a year's supply for 1,270 families of four!

That's worth it to me. Plus, Seventh Generation's bathroom tissue contains no inks or dyes and is whitened without chlorine bleach.

A REAL PLUS! Buying natural bathroom tissue was a real step for me because the alternatives cost so much less. But I really felt like an "eco-mom" when I made the transition.
