Clorox Green?

What do you think of this? I would love ir if a mainstream brand could sell affordable natural products. The Seventh Generation stuff breaks my bank.

I got some of the toilet cleaner and all purpose spray. They were 2/$5 at the grocery store. The toilet cleaner smells good. Really citrus-y. The all purpose cleaner is ok. But I like my Method all purpose spray better.

I do like that there are some inexpensive, non toxic cleaners that I can find locally. I like Dr. B, 7th gen., etc. but I have to order online. It's nice to be able to pick something up at the store if I run out.

I just bought some but haven't tried it out yet. The ingredient list didn't look too obnoxious and it was a LOT cheaper than 7th Generation.

I often buy Method products, but I don't know what I think of them still... sometimes they work, sometimes I think I'm just throwing money in the trash. I'm crossing my fingers with this new stuff.

I know, I know... vinegar, baking soda, and Dr. Bronners are all cheap, but sometimes I just want the speed of an all-purpose cleaner.

I got some for my mom, who thinks that cleaning with vinegar and baking soda is horribly old fashioned and "backward". While I had them here before taking them to her, I did try out the toilet cleaner and it worked great. The all-purpose cleaner I wasn't that impressed with, it didn't seem to do any better than my water/vinegar spray.

I won't be using these products, but I am glad that they exist now and I think they could be a "gateway" for people who are starting to think about how the products they use affect our planet.

I hate clorox. I won't support them in any way. Clean & green or not, imo it's just another case of greenwashing. And most method products are not sulficant free, just so you know! They may not have the anti-bacterial additives, but they still contain lauryl-steryl sulfates, the big culprit for watersheds.

fewer chemicals in our environment is fewer chemicals in our environment. and that can't be a bad thing. not a perfect solution, but a heck of a lot better than lysol and the like.

ITA both with "glad this mainstream company is getting more people to use cleaners without so many chemicals" and "I'm not going to support that company."

I use 7th gen dishwashing liquid and powedered dishwasher detergent and Bon Ami for scrubbing. I make my own "all purpose cleaner" with a spray bottle, water, and the dishwashing liquid. Vinegar and water in a spray bottle is window cleaner. Straight vinegar is toilet bowl cleaner. The floor gets mopped with either vinegar or dishwashing liquid, or a mixture of the two.

Oh, I also use the 7th Gen or Trader Joe's laundry detergent (I have a HE washer and small bottle lasts me over a month) and whatever cheapest brand of non-chlorine bleach powder.
