Bright Green Review & Giveaway

Just as promised, we are letting you know of some great products this month for Earth Day. This time, I had the opportunity to review some of the Bright Green™ cleaning products. Bright Green is a new line of home care products featuring cleaning and laundry soaps made with biodegradable and naturally derived ingredients, energy-efficient light bulbs and paper products made from 100% recycled content. The Bright Green products are sold exclusively at Safeway stores.
I was able to review the Bright Green dishwashing liquid and all purpose cleaner. The question that I have often asked myself is, “Is it possible to use green cleaning products and get the same results?” My experience so far has been a positive one. In all the environmentally friendly products I have tried, I have not found a difference in the way the product cleans from the other products.
The Bright Green dishwashing liquid cleaned my dishes very well. It took the grease off my dishes and had a very pleasant lavender scent. My son especially enjoyed it. He asked if he could wash dishes, which in our house means that I put some soap and water in a bowl and he “washes” some of the dishes in the sink. He ended up using 1/2 of the bottle, so there were lots of suds and my kitchen smelled great for days. lol The Bright Green all purpose cleaner is great for the kitchen or garage and it has a refreshing lemon scent.
And now, on to the giveaway!
The giveaway includes an attractive reusable shopping bag and $1 coupons for Bright Green cleaning products. Safeway credits customers $.05 each time they use any reusable bag at the checkout.

I’m allergic to a lot of chemicals… green products make my life easier.
I have been using green products to clean for years. Vinegar and baking soda are great alternatives to many harsh chemical cleaning products. I like knowing that the air I breathe in my house is clean and not full of harmful chemicals.
Thumbs up on stumbleupon!

I’d like to win because I use green cleaning products for a safe home for my kids
I use green products because they are a lot safer
I would like to win this so i can have green products to clean with now that there’s a new baby in the house.
I would love to win so I can try some of these products just to see if they really work as well as what I already use.
Our family has shopped at Safeway for years and we’ve purchased Bright Green products there recently because we’re more sensitive to sustaining a cleaner healthier planet. Thank you for the contest.
I’d like to win these products because I know I already love them! I’ve been buying Bright Green stuff for awhile now at Pavilions and it would be great to get some free coupons for more.
The following is why I’ll like to win this prize:
I want a clean & healthy home. I want a beautiful reusable Bright Green shopping bag. I want coupons to purchase Bright cleaning product; however, I have a problem. I am an American With Disability (ADA) & live on a limited income. If I won, I will tell everybody to use Bright cleaning product because they care about protecting Mother Earth.
MY STORY:
About a month ago, my local Safeway Store started displaying the Bright Green Reusable bag right up front when a customer walks into the store. Did I tell you how beautiful the bags are? After checking the price, I knew I could NOT afford the bag. However, before I left Safeway, I especially visited the usual home care product area. I read then compared what was in Bright Green products with my usual cleaning and laundry soaps.
I was impressed that Bright Green products were made with “…naturally derived ingredients”. After all Earth Day is this month…so I said “I want a clean & healthy home”. I want some Bright Green products. If I could afford it, I buy, try & compare the Bright Green dishwashing liquid.
I saw the giveaway opportunity where I could win that beautiful reusable Bright Green shopping bag. discount coupons AND each time I use the beautiful reusable Bright Green shopping bag, Safeway would give me a $.05 customer credit instead of the $.03 cents when I use my regular brown shopping bag. Every nickel helps.
I do not own a computer/Internet, so I made a special trip to the Public Library to enter this giveaway because I want to win this prize. I want a clean & healthy home. I want a beautiful reusable Bright Green shopping bag. I want coupons to purchase Bright cleaning product. I look forward to my winning. Thank you.
Happy 2009 Earth Day
Well, I am definitely not Ed Begley, Jr, but I do like to be ecologically responsible. I firmly believe that our families and our world are worth any additional effort it may take, and even the smallest efforts add up.
I would love to win this because my family is in the process of converting over to more green products and getting the toxic cleaners out of the house.
Would love to win these products because I think Green is the way to go and it’s worth help saving our world in whatever way we can do that. skyxsky27(at)gmail.com
