Going Green / A Review

Ok, I'm putting it all out there:  here's my kitchen sink from this morning.  Quite a variety of STUFF - dirty STUFF - there ... from cutting boards to cookie sheets and baby food containers of various sorts ....

I have been using a product from the Ecostore USA to hand wash my dishes lately - and I must say - IT DOES THE JOB - without the nasty chemicals, which is a HUGE bonus ... although I will admit I'm not the "greenest" person on the planet.  ;)  I do care about the health of my family, and I am glad when "green" products are affordable and accessible.

I have been using the Ecostore DISHWASH LIQUID which sells on the website for $9 for 32 oz or $5.50 for 16 oz.  I had to get used to have fewer SUDS - but just because you have SUDS doesn't mean your dishes are getting clean.  I especially like to think that something with NO NASTY CHEMICALS is touching the containers that I use for my baby's food!  Oh, and all that dirty stuff in the picture above is now SQUEAKY CLEAN. 

I was also given the Baby Body Wash - and I had the same experience as with my dishes for my baby's body.  :) 

The above products are plant based - which is better for your health and better for the planet.  Again, I'm not a huge "greenie" but I do appreciate the fact that these products are CHEMICAL FREE.

My one slightly negative thought about the products are just the cost.  As a person on a budget - a tight budget - I'm not sure how willing I am to buy these products at a slightly higher cost than my regular grocery store products that I get on sale and using coupons.  Also, there is the convenience factor of having to order on-line - however, my experience with the company was they shipped fast (and with recycled packaging which is to be expected!).  :)

I do think if being "green" and chemical free is important to you - or say, you had special health needs such as sensitive skin or eczema, then these products are WELL WORTH putting into your budget to purchase.
