Yes, that disgusting picture is the state of my shower. After 3 months of first trimester fatigue and other yuckiness, this is what it looks like. Whoever decided that a slightly textured floor would keep you from slipping should be tortured because all it does is collect water for mildew to form. Yuck! At one point I only used Magic Erasers on this but since I’ve gotten my microfiber cloths, I only use those and some soap. And TONS of elbow grease!
Until, that is, I got my Seventh Generation Disinfecting Cleaning Kit:
I love Seventh Generation products and when I got this BlogSpark opportunity, I had to do it even though I was short on time. In this lovely pack, I received (among other things) some bathroom cleaner. I have to confess that I wasn’t happy with it to wash my counters. It’s kind of foamy, but since it’s not an aerosol can the coverage isn’t that great. But as I turned around to (try to avoid) looking at my gross shower, I wondered how the foam would stay on the grossest part of my shower walls. It stayed very well! And not only did it stay well, but I didn’t need to scrub as hard! Woot!
The other cleaners were awesome, especially at getting Lil’ Bit’s dinner crusty’s off of the kitchen table. Way better than water & soap, which is what I usually use. I also loved the little book — a great baby-step intro to getting greener in your kitchen.
Seventh Generation has created a new set of disinfecting cleaners that are natural! They contain “thymol, a component of the herb thyme, and can be used on hard surfaces including counter tops, plastic cutting boards, highchair trays as well as children´s toys. Best of all, they kill over 99.99 percent of germs* naturally and are effective against the Influenza A Virus, including H1N1.”
Want to try them for yourself? Seventh Generation and MyBlogSpark are offering up a prize pack to you just like the one I got. It includes:
a disinfecting multi-surface cleaner, bathroom cleaner, wipes, a copy of The Conscious Kitchen, a cleaning caddy made from recycled plastic, and two rolls of 100% recycled, unbleached paper towels.
