Eco-Household Cleaning Products

CAPSULE REPORT: Why scrub the sink or clean your counters with harsh-smelling bleach- or ammonia-based products, when you can do as good a cleaning job while you enjoy the scent of a French herb garden or a pink grapefruit? We’ve been cleaning with three “designer” brands, Caldrea, Method and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, and and they actually make cleaning fun while doing as good a job as the “tough stuff.” We’re hooked! We only live once, so we’re giving up jumbo-sized value-priced cleaners from warehouse clubs. We’re now full-fledged, food-fragranced, boutique-brand cleaning commandos!

Even if nothing makes you happier than a fresh-scrubbed kitchen or bath, those noxious scents from commercial cleansers don’t make getting to the end goal a joyous journey. A pleasing fragrance makes the task more enjoyable to scrub-lovers as well as to those who hate to as much as wipe down a counter. Harsh chemical odors aside, pleasant scents create an “experience” and express individuality as much as one’s personal fragrances.

That honor belongs to a handful of boutique companies that are green, but first and foremost fashionable. So we sprayed and wiped and scrubbed and laundered our way through many bottles’ worth, and vote for:

• NEU Homecare
• Caldrea
• Method
• Mrs. Meyer’s

Whichever cleaning choice you make, you'll be be cleaning much more happily. Put on some calming music, and cleaning with these gentle, fragrant products can almost seem like a spa activity. Purchased online at NeuCleaners.com
