Green Household Products I Love

I've added a list of household products that we use that I highly recommend and use frequently.  Since I can't find a way to add a description of the products, I will share my reasons here.

The H2 Bio facial cleansing cloth is wonderful.  It is a microfiber cloth used to cleanse your face without the use of actual cleansers.  I tend to wash my face first to get most of the make-up off so the cloth and do a deeper clean.  After I shower, I use the cloth to wipe my face clean, and remove and residual make-up, particularly mascara left around the eyes.  My complexion has cleared up and I don't feel the need to use toners and spot treatments.  This is a reusable cloth.  I use it a week and wash it every weekend (with items other than towels).

I have recently begun using the Netepur bar.  This is used to remove stains, even stains that have been set after being washed and dried.  It may take a couple rounds of use on stains such as this, but it has worked well on my son's clothes!  I wet the bar and fabric and rub the bar over the stains and allow to soak for at least 10 minutes, then throw in the washer.  It has gotten ink stains, food stains, and blood stains out of our clothing. 

A Norwex dusting mitt is a must for any busy household.  I can dust with this mitt without use of sprays.  It traps all the dust in the mitt.  And best of all, it seems that my furniture stays dust-free for longer after using this rather than the traditional spray and paper towel.  Once the mitt is full of dust, I simply bang it out and can re-use it a few times.  After it becomes too dirty to use, simply wash and dry (with items other than towels).

I have been using Seventh Generation Diapers with my son since he was an infant.  We started using the traditional Huggies and Pampers.  Pampers are the last thing I will use with this next baby.  I can't stand the smell.  Huggies are ok, but I feel better using a product on my sons that are free of dyes, fragrances, and harmful chemicals.

Hopefully I will find more great products to share with everyone!!
