I’m wondering how many of you have made the switch to all natural cleaning products? With so many non-toxic cleaning supplies being available in the marketplace it isn’t really necessary to still be using harmful substances to thoroughly clean your home. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the average American home is found to have 63 hazardous chemical products. Scary! It’s time to toss these nasty products!
I think the reason some individuals are still using harmful cleaning substances is because they have the misconception that natural products don’t effectively kill the germs, which is a complete farce. The Seventh Generation’s disinfectants kill over 99.99 percent of germs, leave your home smelling fresh and clean, and do it with safe ingredients.
Here is what Seventh Generation and MyBlogSpark have to say about making the change to more environmentally friendly products.
Replacing what’s currently under your sink with products that are non-toxic and safe for the environment is easier than ever with Seventh Generation’s environmentally friendly cleaning products.
Leading the “responsible cleaning” charge for the past twenty years, Seventh Generation has tapped into the disinfecting power of the herb thyme, to introduce an EPA registered line of disinfecting sprays and wipes that kill germs* naturally! The new line of botanical disinfectant cleaners includes a multi-surface cleaning spray, bathroom cleaning spray and wipes.
The disinfectants 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.
Seventh Generation has partnered with eco-lifestyle consultant and author, Alexandra Zissu, whose new book, The Conscious Kitchen, discusses what’s good for your health, what’s good for the planet and what tastes great. Her book also includes great tips on maintaining a green and healthy kitchen, including:
* Change is Good
Choosing cleaning products without indoor air pollutants like volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, is a simple and effective way to reduce your indoor air pollution. If you’re not prepared to switch everything overnight, start by swapping out the one product you use the most, and moving forward from there.
* Think before you spray
Residues from cleaning products can last on a surface for longer than we we’d like to know and travel to areas that we sometimes don’t intend them to. Don’t contaminate your food by prepping it on a surface that may contain harsh chemical residues – rinse cleaning products from food preparation surfaces carefully or use botanical disinfecting cleaners that do not require a rinse step.
* Home is Where the Clean Is
Your standard cleaners are good for removing soils and dirt from kitchen surfaces, but to tackle germs you need a cleaner that is effective against microbes like bacteria and viruses. Many cleaners contain ingredients that have antimicrobial properties such as vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, but the germ killing power of these is not necessarily guaranteed. To be sure you are killing germs, use an EPA registered disinfectant. Seventh Generation tapped into the disinfecting power of the common garden herb thyme, to provide a disinfecting cleaner that kills germs* naturally.
* Make the Old New Again
Think twice about the items that you’re using to clean and dry your kitchen equipment and dishes. Use rags (like old t-shirts and washcloths) instead of paper towels. If you aren’t prepared to kick your paper towel addiction just yet, use only recycled versions that are unbleached or haven’t been whitened with chemicals containing chlorine and see how long you can make a roll last.
* The Writing is on the … Sponge
Be sure to read the fine print on sponges and only purchase those that do not contain antimicrobial pesticides. Remember to store sponges in a dry place and frequently clean them by popping plastic sponges wet in a microwave for two minutes or boiling sponges for three minutes in water.
* Mom Was Right, Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands with soap and water before and after prepping food, and always before eating. So much of what can be potentially harmful in a kitchen can be reduced by this simple act that doesn’t require any harsh chemicals whatsoever.
Seventh Generation through MyBlogSpark sent me a great disinfecting cleaning kit to get me started on my Spring cleaning. The kit included 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.
The first thing I noticed when I began using the disinfecting cleaning products was the nice fresh scent of Thyme! I liked all the products they sent me, but my favorite was the disinfecting wipes. The wipes are so convenient and great to grab for quick and easy cleaning. I used them for wiping down my sinks, counter-tops, appliances, door knobs, and more. The wonderful thing was all the products actually worked plus cut through the dirt and grime. VERY GOOD.
I just started to read The Conscious Kitchen so I can’t go into to much detail, but I am thumbing through all the terrific tips and learning a lot! One tip that stood out was on how to choose safe fish. I don’t have a vast knowledge on the different types of fish or a safe seafood card so standing at the fish counter can be confusing. The tip was to text the Blue Ocean Institute’s handy Fish Phone – 30644 -with the word fish and the name of the species your looking to get information on. Apparently, they text you right back with environmental and health information, giving you a red, yellow, or green light. This could come in handy while ordering at restaurants too! The book is loaded with useful tips like this and it would be great to keep a copy in your kitchen as a reference.
If you hurry, Seventh Generation has a coupon for a $1 savings on any Disinfecting Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner, or Disinfecting Wipes. It looks the coupon is good only until 3/31 so act fast!

We have been trying to use natural cleaning products in the kitchen, bath, on floors, etc. We also started taking our shoes off when we enter the house, so as not to bring any toxic chemicals in on our shoes.
The best thing I am doing right now is “repurposing” stuff I would usually throw away. For instance, the wax paper bag in the box that contains cereal is used for baking, especially for shaping rolls of cookie dough. Thanks!
I’ve been buying more all natural cleaners.

The best thing I have done for the environment is probably being a docent at the zoo. We try to make people aware of what is happening to the environments where our animals live in wild and, of course, how that affects us all.
use vinegar often
We are trying to move to alternative ways to clean besides products that use chemicals.
We are trying to do as much as we can for the environment. I LOVE Seventh Generation products and use them everyday. The best thing we’ve done for the environment this year is teach our children about the importance of doing our part as a family. We’ve ditched our sponges and use rags now. We are also growing our own organic vegetables and herbs this spring to start the education! One of their chores is to tend to our household recycling too…
I buy organic when possible and I use only green chemicals when I clean.
The best thing we have done for the environment is to take “baby steps” in many areas of our life. We recycle, recycle, recycle…our county has mandatory recycling og plastic,glass and cans and paper. In addition we recycle aluminum cans for a church food project, use reuseable bags for grocery shopping, shop garage sales for items we can use and donate our unwanted itms to places that can use them or resale them, change out our lightbulbs to energy efficient ones, and try to be more aware of the impact of what we buy and do and changes we need to make.

I’ve been switching over our household cleaning products to natural alternatives, switching from plastic food storage containers to glass, and have bought stainless steel water bottles for everybody instead of buying bottled water. The best thing I’ve done for the environment this past year was switch to alternative transportation to get to work; I take the bus in the winter and bike the rest of the year.

For the environment this year, I didn’t buy any Easter basket grass for my son’s basket. I thought that it would be a waste (money and it would just go in the trash). I reused the shredded paper that was sent to me in a box of stuff that I had ordered. The company reused (it was computer paper that had information on it) and then I reused it! It felt good to pass up the grass, knowing that I could reuse something I already had at home.

I have always been big on my yard. I love that it’s green and lush and filled with beautiful bushes and pretty flowers. I never thought twice about the chemicals I used or the amount of water it took to keep it looking that way. This year, I’ve decided to try to go green! I have a composter and a rain barrel and I’ve picked up some eco friendly fertilizers. We’ll see!

Thanks for the giveaway…the best thing we’ve done for the environment this year is stop buying bottled water at the grocery: we installed a faucet mounted filter system for our water needs and now use reusable bottles to take our water “on-the-go”.

I have been trying to recycle more than ever, and also using natural cleaning products.

The best thing I did for the environment over the past year is cloth diaper my son. We also use reusable shopping bags and aluminum water bottles, shop at the farmers’ market whenever possible, and recycle as much as (or more than!) we throw away.

We recycle and I got resuable shopping bags…now if I can just remember to take them to the store. :S

To reduce waste and landfill buildup, I pulled out my husband’s rattiest undershirts and cut them up to make cleaning cloths. We use them instead of paper towels for everything from dusting to working on the car.
I started recycling and using totes when I go shopping!
I feel so much better! 🙂
It was one of the resolutions! (one I knew i could keep)! 🙂

I’ve switched to cloth grocery bags. I’m also trying to use natural cleaners like, baking soda, lemon, and vinegar.

I volunteered for our community’s annual waterways cleanup. WE cleaned up our community lakes and rivers and strea,s.
I use vingear and water to clean my floors!
I avoid using harsh chemicals around the house and yard as much as I can to protect my family.

We clean with all natural products and do our best to keep a healthy ‘victory’ garden in place. We haven’t tried seventh generation though and this would be a great start!

I use vinegar, baking soda, and good old soap and water for most of my cleaning. When I use a more toxic cleaning, like the tile cleaner in the bathroom, I’ll shut the door and run a fan while it sets, and then keep the door closed until the smell is completely gone.
