"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."

EVILMOMMY....I see that your blog is private. I'm going to try and contact you, by adding you. If you see this, please contact me!!!

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.
