This giveaway is closed! The winner was comment #50!

Earth Day is tomorrow! Earth day is always a time that makes people think about what changes they can make to help our environment.  I try my hardest to always make good choices.  I use cloth instead of disposables in many areas.  Cloth napkins, Cloth diapers (when I still had little ones in diapers), Cloth wipes, etc.

One thing that has always concerned me was the chemicals that are in every day cleaning products.  I was excited to be able to check out some different products from Seventh Generation.

These disinfectants contain thymol, which is a component of the herb thyme. It can be used on hard surfaces including counter tops, plastic cutting boards, highchair trays as well as children´s toys.  These disinfectants kill over 99.99 percent of germs in a natural way and are effective against the Influenza A Virus, including H1N1.

DSC_0004 copyThe Disinfecting Cleaning Kit I received contained the following:

  • A disinfecting multi-surface cleaner
  • Bathroom cleaner
  • Wipes
  • A copy of The Conscious Kitchen
  • A cleaning caddy made from recycled plastic
  • Two rolls of 100% recycled, unbleached paper towels

Let me tell you that I love the wipes! I am a huge fan of disenfecting wipes.  It makes it so easy to clean and disinfect areas in a hurry!  I’m a mom that does a lot and I don’t have a lot of extra time.  I was so happy to get a non toxic cleaning wipe!

As I mentioned before I try to use cloth for a lot, but sometimes you really need a paper towel so that you can just toss it when you are done.  I can tell you that it makes me feel a lot better to use these recycled paper towels.

Seventh Generation partnered with eco-lifestyle consultant and author, Alexandra Zissu. Her new book was included with my cleaning kit.  The Conscious Kitchen, discusses  what is good for our health, what’s good for the planet and what tastes great. The book also includes great tips on maintaining a green and healthy kitchen.

Overall, I am very happy with the Seventh Generation Cleaning products!  I think you will be too!  So this Earth day, as you look around your house for places that your family can make changes…take a look at your cleaning supplies and start replacing those with something a bit more natural! Non toxic items that are much better for our environment are easier than ever to get!
