Cleaning Products

shower.jpgBefore making the decision to change my life style, I used to use some pretty strong cleaning products, especially in the bathroom.  My favorite was Tilex Mold and Mildew remover.  After spraying down the shower, I would turn the fan on, open the window, and close the door.  This was all so that the fumes from the ammonia would not go into the rest of the house.  I would let it sit for about 15 minutes before going back in and wiping down the tub and rinsing it all off.  While I would be scrubbing the tiles and tub, I would hold my nose to stop the ammonia from burning the inside of my nose.  Once I was all done, I would close the door again with the window open to let the bathroom air out. I can’t imagine what the harshness of the chemicals is doing to the environment. 

So the last time I bought a bathroom cleaner, I decided to try the Green Works Natural Bathroom Cleaner product by Clorox .  I really like this product.  There are no harsh smells.  It is easy to use.  Most importantly, it works.  I simply sprayed it in the shower, used the scrub brush for a minute or two, and rinsed it off.  I admit, I was skeptical at first that it would be hard to truly get the shower clean without a lot of elbow grease. 

I haven’t tried the rest of the Green Works product line, yet.  I will be trying more cleaning products in future, and this one has inspired me to go on trying more.  In case anyone is wondering, as far as my dish washer soap goes, I’m still using Palmolive Eco+.  I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet in a dishwasher soap, but I feel it is a step in the right direction.
