Spring Cleaning with Green Works

With three children under five years old, you can bet that the concept of spring cleaning sounds glorious. A spotless hallway free of sand and mud? A kitchen without finger prints all over the fridge and stove? Or how about a floor that shines? It’s a lovely thought. Really, it is. But somewhere between potty training the twins and never finding a really great all natural cleaner, I sort of succumbed to fact that my house just cannot be as clean as I would like it. Maybe it will never be. I have refused to bring hazardous waste that calls itself a cleaner into my home of small children.

• Green Works® products are acknowledged by the EPA’s Design for the Environment program.

Before the package arrived, I already had one Green Works® product in the home; the natural biodegradable cleaning wipes. They are a staple in my home. My grandmother had an expression she used when cleaning before a guest would arrive. “I’m just going to give it a lick and a promise,” she would say.  Well, Green Works® cleaning wipes are perfect for the unexpected visitor. They are also a gem for quick clean ups in the washroom, counter, and even on the floor. I love the fact that they are biodegradable because I felt guilty using something disposable instead of getting the trusty washcloth out each time. And they are the only wipes I use because they are made of natural ingredients.

So with my facts and my assembly of products, I set out to spring clean my home. I was pleasantly surprised with the dishwashing cleaner and loved the citrus scented one the best. It was soft on my hands and it did a great job on pots and pans (I gave it a real test with some of my messiest dishes).

Enough about my experience with Green Works®. I’m sure you would like your own experience, right?! Green Works has generously offered the same package I received to one of my lucky  Canadian readers!
