Ecostore USA, Green Cleaning Products: A Review and Giveaway


In March, I was contacted by Ecostore USA about doing a review and giveaway of their products. I told them that I would be definitely interested in participating. They sent me three products which I requested to review, the Front Loader Laundry Powder, the Toilet Cleaner, and the Citrus Spray Cleaner. I did not do the review/giveaway right away because I had conflicting issues with my advertising network for my blog. The issues have been resolved since I cancelled the network.

I have used all of these products that we sent to me. They are truly great products. I think my favorite is the Front Loader Laundry Powder. I was very intimidated by the small box that it came in, it was about the same size as a box of crackers. There was also a teeny scoop inside the box. It is good for 32 washes. I will have to say that I've been using the powder for over a month now and I still have about 1/4 of the box left. I usually go through 2 boxes of my name brand laundry detergent in a month. The box is about 2 times the size of Ecostore's. I'm very impressed and it's well worth the money.

  3. The Citrus Spray Cleaner sounds good! We are super green...minus the car I drive. We recycle like mad, use eco-friendly grocery bags, and I don't even buy paper towels b/c they waste so much. Doing everything we can!

  5. I would love to try the Baby Wash and the Toilet Cleaner. I've been looking for a non-bleach method of cleaning the toilet.

  6. We have done a ton to go green. At home we used bamboo flooring, we turn off all non-essential equipment completely (your tv is still ueses power even when it's off) by putting things on surge protectors. It's worked. Our power bill went down by about 50% when we started doing this. We even put in a garden, in a condo with no yard so we can get our own herbs. At work we don't turn on all the lights, we turn off all computers and have the thermostat programed and we recycle of course. We also use Meyer's Cleaning products which I love. They are biodegradeble and completly eco friendly. I would love to try the Citrus spray cleaner and the toilet cleaner at work and the laundry liquid at home.

  8. I would love to try the laundry powder. I just replaced my washer and dryer with front loading ones. We recycle as much as possible, we each have several re-fillable water bottles, I try not to use plastic bags for storage and reuse them when I receive them from someone else.

  10. I'm taking the plunge and "going green" by cloth diapering my daughter. I was convinced that it much better for the environment, after reading what is in a Pampers diaper. :-) I would absolutely love to try the laundry detergent - it will really help with the tons of laundry I have!

  14. I always use my reuseable grocery bags when shopping and often times when I'm picking up a couple of things from the convience store I will refuse a plastic bag and carry it out to my car.

  20. I would love to try out the detergent. I am a cloth diapering momma (so there is one way I work to go "green") and it would be great to use an environmentally friendly detergent as well.

  21. Whew! Just made your cutoff! I have a front-loader and would love to try that laundry powder! I'm always looking for new green-cleaning products, esp. b/c my next-door neighbor is a green cleaner extraordinaire.
