Ecover Laundry Products www.ecover.com

Charlie, David and I where allowed to try out these laundry products from Ecover and I am so glad I did as they really did a wonderful job on our clothes. As you can see there is a lot of different ones which is wonderful as it allows you to find the perfect products for your family. The one I wanted to try out the most was the Bleach as I can not use most bleaches as I am allergic to it. Plus I can not breathe the smell of it. This was not the case with Ecovers Bleach as me and my family had no problems using it. I would like to keep this on hand for those dirty socks of my boys as it did such a good job of cleaning them. I would also like to have the Delicate Laundry Liquid always on hand as it did such a wonderful job on my dress shirts. No matter which one of the soaps David and I would use anything we chose to wash in it came out clean and smelled wonderful. I can not wait to go back to Ecover and shop for some of the other products that they carry as I think they would make a nice gift for everyone on my Gift List.

Rockin Green Laundry Soap Review and Giveaway

When my samples from ROCKin GREEN arrived I noticed I was sent the Hard samples and I was sent three different scents. I liked knowing they will do 2 loads of laundry in a Toploader as this is what we use. David was not too sure of the soaps but after he opened the first one and tried it out I could tell he likes it as much as I did. My favorite out of the 3 we where sent was the Lavender Mint Revival as I like anything that has Lavender in it. Plus Lavender can help you relax and it will help you sleep better. So I had David try it out and he says I was right about that. This is one we will get again and one that I would not mind giving as a gift as I know my friends and family would like it as much as I did. The second sample we where sent is the Motley Clean and both David and Charlie liked the name of it. We used it on Davids uniforms and once they where done we could tell that they cleaned better than the soaps we normally use. So this is also something I would not mind getting again. If you have dirty uniforms to clean I hope you will check it out as it works wonderfully. The last scent I was sent was the Smashing Watermelon and we used it on Charlies clothes and he has said it is all he would like to use. Now if I could just get him to get a job and order some it would save me some money. I like knowing that ROCKin GREEN comes in three different levels of hardness. They have soft rock, classic rock and hard rock. I also like knowing that they carry a stick that will show you what your water type is and which samples you would need for your household. I also like knowing they have products for women as well as pets. I can tell you I can not wait to try them both out as it is something I need especially the one for the pets. If you would like to try out ROCKin GREEN your in luck as I have a bag to giveaway. You even get to pick which scent you would like to win. Hard Rock- Sample Remix

Around The House~In the Laundry

There are many non-poisonous products that can be used for basic household cleaning. Next to vinegar, the most useful of these is baking soda.

Like vinegar, baking soda has three major things going for it as a cleanser:

• It's non-toxic. Sure, eaten in large amounts it might make you feel unpleasant, but it's not poisonous.
• It's multi-purpose. The suggestions in this article are only a few of the many ways that baking soda can be used as a household cleanser.
• Best of all, it's CHEAP! The cost of baking soda (especially when purchased in several pound large boxes) is far less than that of any other, specialized cleaning agent.

Baking soda (or bicarbonate of soda, as it is also known) is a naturally occurring material, present in most organic life forms. It can be "made" from sodium carbonate, or soda ash. The soda ash is dissolved in a carbon dioxide rich solution, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) precipitates out.

As its name suggests, baking soda can be used for cooking. It can also be used medicinally, and, as we will discuss in this article, for cleaning.

In the kitchen
The kitchen is the most likely place to find baking soda. Don't stop with using it for baking, though!

1. A box or small bowl of baking soda in the refrigerator, freezer, or any cupboard will keep away unpleasant odors.

2. Similarly, baking soda will keep away garbage odors; sprinkle the bottom of the pail, and then sprinkle again after you put a new bag in.

3. Grease fires can be put out by sprinkling them with baking soda.

4. To clean surfaces, sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth. Wipe, then rinse with clean water.

5. To remove stale smells from food containers, rinse out with hot water and baking soda. If the smell persists, let the container soak overnight in the baking soda and water mixture.

6. To clean silver, use a paste of 3 parts baking soda to one part water. Rub the paste onto each item, then rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

7. To remove scuff marks or grease spills from the floor, sprinkle with baking soda and then wipe with a warm, damp cloth. This is even safe for no-wax floors!

8. For burnt-on food in the bottom of pots, sprinkle with baking soda, then add hot water. Let soak overnight; the dried on food will come loose much more easily.

In the Bathroom
9.To remove stubborn stains from most surfaces, use a baking soda paste (3 parts baking soda, one part water). Apply, let stand, then scrub or wipe clean.

10. Hairbrushes and combs can be cleaned in a baking soda solution.

11. To avoid clogged drains, pour 1/4 cup baking soda down weekly. Rinse through with hot water.

All Around the House12. To remove scents from a carpet, sprinkle with baking soda. Let stand for at least fifteen minutes, then vacuum. Repeat as needed.

13. If there is a smoker in the house, put baking soda in the bottom of each ashtray to keep away some of the stale smoke smell.
14. Baking soda in the litterbox will help prevent odors.

15. To quickly clean pets and remove "wet dog" odor, sprinkle with baking soda and brush out their fur.

16. To help remove spills, blot as much as possible. Then clean as you normally would. When finished, sprinkle with baking soda. Vacuum. This will decrease the chance that some of the spilled item will remain in the carpet and cause unpleasant odors later.

17. Children's toys can be cleaned using 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Submerge in this mixture (or wipe with a cloth dampened in it), then rinse with clear water.

In the Laundry

18. Replace half of each measure of laundry detergent with baking soda to keep clothing fresh.

19. To remove grease stains, either add baking soda to the wash load or pretreat the stains with a baking soda paste.

20. Pretreat diapers in their pail with baking soda. This will keep odors from becoming overpowering between washings.

21. Baking soda increases the effectiveness of chlorine bleach. Add 1 / 2 cup to your laundry, along with the usual amount of bleach.

22. If you keep a laundry hamper, add some baking soda every day to keep the hamper from smelling between emptyings.

Outside the House (Yard and Garage)

23. Baking soda can be used to help clean up grease spills.

24. To remove burnt food from the grill, sprinkle with baking soda, then soak. After several hours, the charred pieces will come loose easily.

25. Lawn furniture can be easily cleaned with a rinse of 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart warm water.

26. The children's pool can be cleaned and have mildew removed by washing with baking soda in warm water.

27. Before packing away your camping gear after a trip, sprinkle with baking soda.

If you really get into using baking soda for cleaning, consider buying it in bulk; see if you can join a co-op or if your local natural foods or bulk store can order it for you. After all, it doesn't spoil, and the uses for baking soda are nearly endless!
