Green Works = Spring Cleaning Love {& A Giveaway!}

The first time I ever used a Green Works product was years ago, and I've been pretty much obsessed with them ever since. I actually love shopping for cleaning supplies... a fact my daughter has already picked up. When our box of goodies from Green Works arrived a little while ago, Gretchen was THRILLED to pull each bottle out of the box. "Can we clean the bathroom, mama???" Totally psyched.

Here's a quick clip of her sorting through the delivery:



I don't always go all out for my spring cleaning... mainly because I never seem to find the time to do it all at once, but maybe that's alright. During the weeks leading up to warmer weather, I start opening up the windows when I can... airing things out... getting in the MOOD for some heavy cleaning. I always forget how amazing all that fresh air can be after months of closed windows and stale winter yuckiness.

This year I started on my bathroom, and with my arsenal of Green Works products, I was completely prepared to wipe all the winter blahs out of there -- without the worry of disgusting chemicals being left behind. With a toddler in the house I need to know that she's safe, and keeping harmful products out of the house completely is a great step in that direction. I don't feel anxious about hanging her a bottle of all purpose cleaning to spritz in the bathroom sink, because I know it's not going to harm her. (Of course, I'd also never walk away while she was using any cleaning product... at three she's mostly beyond the "eating weird things" phase, but you just never know!)

I've also been doing some rearranging in my home, and with moving furniture around comes lots of dust and whatnot hiding beneath -- another great task for my Green Works products. I especially love the wipes for quick dusting jobs, and cleaning up messes (paint, breakfast, markers, juice spills) from table and counter tops.


Can I also say how much I love the SMELL of Green Works products. Nothing too harsh, and those products which boast special scents aren't overpowering either. We've been using their Tangerine dish liquid for the last few days and I'm really loving the smell of it. Fresh, but not some weird lingering smell that you can taste on your dishes the next day. Good stuff.

All in all, I've been having an incredibly satisfying experience with the products. Most I've used before, but some were new. I'm impressed with the new toilet cleaner as well -- oh the things I get excited about!

Cleaning provides me with some stress relief when I'm having an off day. Having my daughter enjoy it along with me is such a great experience. I hope we never tire of working as a mean green cleaning duo. Woop!
