(CLOSED) Ecostore USA Review & 25$ Gift certificate Giveaway!

Random.org has chosen our winner.....Congratulations Zippy!! (Clem can get those ear washes now ;>)

Remember my 'Clean Up post' where I stated I only use organic cleaning solutions in and around the house? Well, a while ago I was thrilled to receive an invitation from Ecostore USA to review 2 of their products. Why? Well all their products are plant and mineral based, free of toxic chemicals and most importantly.....economical!

Ecostore USA is an extension of the New Zealand company Ecostore that has been around for 20 years! That's right!! So they really know the ins and outs of really being green!

I was fortunate to receive their Citrus cleaner and Laundry Liquid to test and here's what I thought

1. Citrus Cleaner- I used this yesterday on my stove top that had some grease patches on it and honestly thought I'd need to scrape the residues off but was pleasantly surprised. The cleaner had a mild citrus fragrance to it, so I didn't think it would be very effective. (Yes crazily enough I associate strong fragrances with effective cleaning!) After spraying the stovetop I left the solution on for a few seconds before wiping the top and when I wiped the surface off with a paper towel, everything came off! I didn't need to scrape one bit off. Yay!

2. Laundry Liquid - This liquid has a unique minty kind of fragrance that has this nice freshness about it. (It is eucalyptus based- isn't that cool? )What I love about this is you don't need to use much in the washer, just about 3-5 tablespoons and it lathers well. For the price it's a good buy and best of all great to use when washing your little one's clothes as it has been certified to be 100% organic.

I'm so glad I got to learn of this great company and I would love for you to try their products. They have this great offer of free shipping for all orders of 25$ and above. Plus you can choose from a variety of products for your baby, your hair, your household and even your pet.

Ecostore has an exclusive dealership with Meijer and their products are selling like hotcakes around the US.

Ecostore

  64. This is going to sound a little strange, but I'd love to have the Pet Ear Wash. My dog (Clem) keeps getting yeast infections in his ears and I HATE using the chemicals the Dr. gives me to wash with. I'd much rather use something that I know won't hurt him.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think the laundry liquid looks great :) I'm very interested in natural products. I'm glad they're getting more popular.
