(This giveaway is now closed)
In the last month I have had the pleasure of using some household cleaning products originally created out of New Zealand more than 15 years ago by a couple living in an eco village. A popular brand with over 600 retail locations in NZ, Ecostore USA is finally available and set to launch at all 189 MEIJER stores exclusively!
Going the eco route for your household cleaners is the easiest way for you to reduce a large part of your family’s toxic exposure in the home. It is also the first step any parent should take when trying to resolve allergies, asthma and skin sensitivities in their children.
While browsing of their site, I was most pleased that they offer up their “material safety data sheets.” This is not common practice in conventional brands but some green companies also play their cards close to their chest leaving savvy parents frustrated (like yours truly!) For a company who’s mantra is “No Nasty Chemicals” the MSDS is a great step of integrity and honesty for a personal care company who is not leagally required to present this information to consumers. You can also visit the Ecostore USA blog.
I decided to review 3 products: The laundry liquid, the pure oxygen whitener and the dishwash liquid.
My first impression was that they have created a product that certainly smells eco. It’s really nice and subtle. As a person who gets itchy just thinking about smelly stuff, the Ecostore products have a delicious natural scent of citrus and eucalyptus essential oils. Many parents who make their own home products will attest to adding a drop of their favorite essential oil to the rinse. After a month of using it these products, my daughters sensitive skin has survived the test. No irritation or bumps.
The products are concentrated and effective, as they should be, so will last longer and save you money. I also found the prices to be competitive in the green market as well.
I’ve enjoyed the using products and can highly recommend them. Lyne, from Ecostore USA has been very gracious in offering to hold this giveaway for you!
WIN IT: Enter to win a bottle of the Laundry Liquid and the Pure Oxygen Whitener!
Simply visit Ecostore USA and browse their product line. Then leave a comment telling me which product(s) you would most like to try or need to switch up in your home. Contest closes on January 30 at midnight PST. USA residents only. (Any “great giveaway” comments will be deleted in order to be fair to other contestants!)
Thanks to all of you for participating in this giveaway.

These are my thoughts on living a healthy and simple life. I'm a modern mom with some traditional ideas. At home, I try to clear the confusion from all the conflicting health and parenting advice with some common sense and a natural philosophy. This is the sanest way I know how to navigate the 21 century.

Pure Oxygen Whitener
With six kids, I could really use the Whitener.
citrus spray cleaner
I would love their Vanilla Shampoo.
I’d like to try the chemical free soaps. The Manuka Honey & Kelp Soap sounds luxurious. There really is no reason anymore to buy the soap in the grocery stores.
I would want to try the Laundry Liquid. I switched to natural detergents years ago, such as Seventh Generation, because I don’t want to use products full of chemicals and those that are petroleum based. And I don’t want to use products that are tested on animals. It’s also nice to find a new product line to use.
Pure Oxygen Whitener seems like a good alternative to bleach. Interesting.

The Front Loader laundry powder. With three kids, seems like we do A LOT of laundry!
I’d make the most use of the citrus spray cleaner. Love the idea of an all-purpose cleaner that’s safe for the whole family.
I would love to try the baby sleepytime bath. My daughter gets irritation from the other bath products out there. I have been using Target’s lavender bedtime bath but would love to switch it up with something more eco-friendly. Thanks!
I’d like to try the Aloe Vera Conditioner
I’d like to try the Toilet Cleaner.
I really would like to try their laundry products. I have nummular eczema and am always on the hunt for something I can use for my clothes. the aloe shampoo is intriguing too. I have to go without the normal sulfates (they make my ears peels) and no gluten. It’s a tough world out there for my body!
fidgets last blog post..I had a thought today, SURPRISE!
I would like to try the Citrus Spray cleaner for my kitchen. Sounds like a good thing!
I would love the chance to try the laundry soap. Thanks!
I’d like to try the toilet cleaner. That’s one area that needs a strong cleaner and to be able to do it “green” would be terrific!
I would love to try the auto dish washer because I know that most of the dishwasher detergents are really bad for the water supply. Thanks for the chance!
I’d love to try the Pure Oxygen Whitener.
Iwould love to try the baby nappy balm!
I’d love to try the dishwash liquid. I don’t have a dishwasher, so my hands are guess where all the time. My hands have developed a sensitivity to most liquids. So this might just be what I am looking for. Thanks
I’m always searching for natural cleaners so I would try the Citrus Spray Cleaner and Toiltet Cleaner first as I use these products most.
Thanks
