But jet dry and windex is not good for kiddos or peds, right?  Amonia based.

That's awesome that Baby Ganics makes cleaners in addition to soaps!  I
never knew that and I love their shampoo for my son Dawson so I'm sure I'd
love their other stuff.  Where do you purchase the Baby Ganics cleaners?  I
believe the latest bottle of laundry detergent we have is Bio Clean.  My
hubby picked it up so I'll have to ask him.  Did you buy your Bio Clean
stuff at a big box store because I believe my husband got ours at Target.

I also use the Simple Green as well and love the mint sent.  I just wish it
didn't have the Windex smell mixed in with the lovely mint but it's better
than a lot of cleaners.  This isn't very green I'm sure but I have a window
cleaner with Jet Dry in it and that stuff is amazing and it doesn't smell
like a lot of harsh glass cleaners.

I use babyganics stuff quite a bit. I really like their grime fighter an all
purpose cleaner, and their tub and tile cleaner. I also use their hand soap
and dryer sheets. I love the laundry detergent, but it is too expensive and
have found bio clean to be just as good. I also use bio clean dish washer
detergent. I buy goats milk soap and hand cream from 2 different ladies who
make it in their homes with no additives. I also use simple green when I'm
out of the other cleaners.

Hello list,

I am wanting to try and use as many more natural, green, baby and pet safe
products in the home as much as possible and would love to hear from those
of you who do this as well.  What works for you?  There are some things I've
found that I like a lot but it's great to get ideas as folks find things
that work for them.  If I had lots of disposable income I'd just order
through Melaleuca on-line because I've been given their Diamond Bright dish
washer detergent and it's amazing and I've heard nothing but awesome things
about their other products but they cost a lot.  I also am not a fan of
paying a membership just to be able and buy some companies products and be
required to keep purchasing a minimum amount each month in order to get
decent deals on things.  Costco is where I make this exception in paying the
membership because our membership fee is more than paid for by the amount of
things we buy their each year in interest and the gas prices can't be beat
which is worth it on its own.  So, to make a long story even longer I'm
exclusively looking for products that can be purchased commercially in store
only.  If you've found a green cleaning product, deodorant or whatever,
please share.  I've especially tried to find a good deodorant that lasts
that is more natural but this has been a trial because everything wares off
mid-day or sooner.  I really want to try and be as healthy as possible and
keep my family that way too and if I can teach my son to be conscious of
these things and not break the bank, than this will be one of many valuable
lessons learned.

Thanks,

Erin
