Seventh Generation (Review and Giveaway)

April 14 by Stefany

It is that time of year… time for Spring Cleaning! If you are anything like me, you are interested in cleaning products that are not only non-toxic, but also safe for the environment. As each year passes and my kids get bigger, I realize the importance of keeping them safe. I also know how important it is to keep our environment clean for our kids. So, I was pleased to try Seventh Generation cleaning products!

Seventh Generation has figured out how powerful of a cleaning agent the herb thyme is. This is accomplished through cleaning products that use the herb thyme to kill germs naturally. The new line of botanical disinfectant cleaners includes a multi-surface cleaning spray, bathroom cleaning spray and wipes.

“The disinfectants contain thymol, a component of the herb thyme, and can be used on hard surfaces including counter tops, plastic cutting boards, highchair trays as well as children’s toys. Best of all, they kill over 99.99 percent of germs* naturally and are effective against the Influenza A Virus, including H1N1.”

“Seventh Generation has partnered with eco-lifestyle consultant and author, Alexandra Zissu, whose new book, The Conscious Kitchen, discusses what’s good for your health, what’s good for the planet and what tastes great. Her book also includes great tips on maintaining a green and healthy kitchen.” You won’t regret reading this book if you care about the environment you live in. You can change the environment and the world we live in simply by starting in your own home; your own kitchen!

We are very pleased with the cleaning power of Seventh Generation products! I was so surprised when I found out that the average American household has 63 hazardous chemical products in it. With 5 children and several pets, that is a figure I definitely want to decrease in my home. I can’t think of a better way than with Seventh Generation products! One thing that I like especially is that my kids can use the wipes and I don’t have to worry about them ingesting bleach products. We use a lot of cleaning wipes on the counters and table and using the Seventh Generation wipes certainly puts my mind at ease!

I also really love the paper towels that were sent to us. They are made from 100% recycled paper and work just as well as any other product I have used! They are hypo-allergenic and are free from dyes and chemicals. I can even use those on the baby’s hands without worry.

Thanks to Seventh Generation and MyBlogSpark, I have the items shown above to giveaway! You will receive Seventh Generation “Disinfecting Cleaning Kit” that includes a disinfecting multi-surface cleaner, bathroom cleaner, wipes , a copy of The Conscious Kitchen, a cleaning caddy made from recycled plastic, and two rolls of 100% recycled, unbleached paper towels. This is a perfect kit to get your spring cleaning started!
