ecoStore USA

Eco-friendly living is important to me, especially recycling, using cloth diapers and cleaning the house exclusively with green cleaning products.  One of my favorite sources for environmentally-sound cleaning and personal care products is EcoStore USA.
Not only do their products work well, but they are subtle in their scents. I sometimes get a headache from more conventional cleaning products and their artificial fragrances, especially when visiting my mom who loves all that stuff.

My husband teases me that I just like the packaging and design of EcoStore USA's line of products.  Yeah, I'll admit I'm a sucker for the black and white photos and soft color schemes--but as an artist I can claim a free pass on this one.

I was sent a bottle of the All Purpose Spray, which has a pleasant citrus scent and has worked fabulously on everything from dried spaghetti sauce to cat pee (my head is hung in shame as I typed that)



I really don't think there's anything that this stuff can't clean up--seriously!  Plus, no chemicals, honest! I can pronounce all of the ingredients listed on the website.

I also tried out the Coconut and Vanilla Handwash.
 
Like the All-Purpose spray, this cleans up nicely, yet leaves hands soft.  After cleaning up the garden this weekend, my hands were definitely quite dirty; I had no problem washing up with this liquid soap.
My only complaint would be that the smell is underwhelming. It actually smelled a little stale, the way that natural oils (like flaxseed) sometimes smell when they've passed their freshness date.  Let me say that it didn't smell bad, it was just lacking the coconut scent that I was so looking forward to on my hands. And we busy moms look for pleasure even in handwashing. :)  But again, the soap worked well.  I would just pick another scent next time, like the Orange and Patchouli handwash.
Right now EcoStore USA is offering 25% Off all products for a Back to School special! Use Discount Code WQ551 at checkout.  There's also FREE Shipping Orders of $25 or more.  Woo hoo!  Plus they're sold at Duane Reade and Meijer (sadly, these don't exist in my locale), so you can pick them up in stores too.  You can find EcoStore USA on Twitter and Facebook--they like to be social.
Disclosure: I received the products mentioned in this post from EcoStore USA for review purposes.

I missed you, Kathleen! I've been off my blog for at least 2 weeks, I think!!!

I like their all-purpose spray too. I'm a sucker for the citrus based scents and it works well for me!

I like their all purpose cleaner too. I didn't know that they had a liquid handwash! I'm going to look for it the next time I go grocery shopping.
