I love the idea of environmentally friendly and non toxic products. I buy them as often as I possibly can and I was excited to have the opportunity to try a few products from ecostoreUSA. Their tagline: “No Nasty Chemicals” sums up the company’s philosophy. They make plant based products for personal care, children and household cleaning. The products can be found on their web site or in Meijer stores nationwide. I always wonder if ecofriendly products are as effective as regular products. So I decided to try the Pure Oxygen Whitener and the Baby Shampoo. It was tough to decide on two since the products all sound delicious- like Lemongrass soaps and Rosemary Orange shampoo.
I gave the baby shampoo a whirl on Maya- she has senstive skin so I was looking forward to trying something all natural. The shampoo smelled wonderful- just a little like eucalyptus and lathered nicely. The shampoo is a little pricey but we only used a tiny bit so it should last a long time.
I was suspicious of the whitener- I have never used one before and I don’t like to use bleach on things. We have white towels that I use for everything in the kitchen and they are starting to look seriously dingy. Maya’s clothes also get really stained from her formula and laundry detergent doesn’t get the stains out. I tried the whitener on a shirt after Maya had been chewing on frozen bananas. It was in a very sorry state. The whitener did a really good job of making the shirt look clean again. I just mixed it in with laundry soap and added it to the machine- simple. The shirt didn’t come out perfectly white but I think if I follow the instructions and let it soak overnight it might do the trick. The whitener did a really great job though with just a quick wash and the colors on the shirt stayed nice and bright. I only sprinkled a little bit so the container should also last for a very long time.
