Clorox Green Works Dishwashing Liquid

Karen Weideman — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:50:32 +0000

Looking for a natural dishwashing liquid? If so, you might want to give Clorox’s Green Works Dishwashing Liquid a try.

I’ve been using the Clorox dishwashing liquid and personally, I’ve found that it works just as well as other dishwashing liquids at cleaning greasy and baked-on foods. The great thing is that the liquid has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for using environmentally preferred chemistry.

All Green Works natural cleaners are made using plant-based ingredients derived from coconuts, as well as essential oils. The products are formulated using biodegradable ingredients and are not tested on animals. The Green Works line also includes seven natural cleaning products that can be used in the home, kitchen, and bathroom.

Retail price: $3.59

Scale: I would strongly consider purchasing this product again.

For more information on this product and tips for going green, visit the Clorox Green Works site.

Cleaning curiousity killed the cat

OK, so I am curious as to how you feel about having a clean house? Do you know how to get one with no stress? Here are a few tips as to how to clean with a goal in mind.

Take one room at a time.
Go in a line. That way you don’t get sidetracked.
Set a timer. This will allow you to find your rhythm.
Find a great CD. There is nothing better than to dance with a swiffer.
Take a trash bag with you. That way you don’t have to worry about making a pile in each room. I used to do that and the rooms never looked clean.
Handle paper only once.
Tackle the big projects. Don’t let them overwhelm you.

Hope this helps get you in the mood to tackle that housework.

The Amazing Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Karen Weideman — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 00:44:56 +0000

Some friends of ours recently gave us a Little Tikes workbench. It was dirty and had a lot of crayon markings on it. I’m not complaining. It’s a nice toy. It just needed some cleaning. I tried baking soda and water, but it just wouldn’t get the crayon completely off. It did lighten it some, but there was still quite a bit left. Then I remembered I had a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser under the kitchen sink. I gave it to my husband and he starting scrubbing. He was quite amazed. The crayon wiped right off. He said, “How does it do that?!?”.

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser also cleans tile grout, soap scum, refrigerators, car wheels, microwaves, marks on walls, and more. The great thing is, it’s a thrifty buy! I wish I had tried the eraser first. Definitely a time saver too!
