Saving More Money, Helping The Environment, And A Clean Carpet ~ Gotta Love That Too!

With two dogs, one cat, and two men (sometimes three when son number two is home from school) you can imagine what my carpets and upholstery go through. This is not putting them down in any way, but guys just don't seem to be as careful about wiping their feet enough or paying attention to what they get on the furniture. It's just life as a guy!

And that's without what the dogs and cat add. Oh boy!! It can be a big problem if I don't keep up with it.

A couple of days ago I told you all about a wonderful All Purpose Cleaner from Greenwald (read the review HERE). Well I am excited to be able to tell you all about another of their products, their Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover Kit.

I have been trying out the Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover and I have to say I really, really like it! It is so easy compared to other products I have used. No foam to mop in. No avoiding the spot for hours while it dries into the carpet and then have to vacuum (hoping you got all the stain), no major scrubbing either.

It is as safe as the All Purpose Cleaner to use around animals and kids. So I feel good about it because my fur babies spend the majority of their time on the carpet. The last thing I want to do is expose them to harmful chemicals that can get absorbed into their skin!

You make this Stain Remover in the same way, you add one of the gel packs to a 32 ounce spray bottle and add water. The pack dissolves in the water and then you agitate it a little. The spray is ready to use in just a few seconds. No mess! No measuring! So simple and takes up very little space in storage. The small plastic container the refills come in stack easy and actual have little holes at the top so you could hang them up on a hook too.

There is a little difference with the Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover. If you want to mainly use it on carpet, they suggest using two of the gel packs for each 32 ounce bottle for heavy stains. That's what I tried out. I'll make another bottle for lighter upholstery stains. Well, let's hope they are lighter anyway! LOL!

Even with using two of the packs in the bottle, the price is so much cheaper than buying other commercial products. The kit comes with 6 packs and so do all the refill packs. By the time you divide this out per bottle, it's a lot cheaper and it is environmentally better! Less waste, and made with ingredients that are safe for everyone in the house, who can argue with that!

So how well does it really work? Take a look here at the before (Please don't ask how the stain got there. It's not a pretty story!) stain:

And this is the after stain removed:

So do you think it works? Seriously! Look at those pictures and tell me it is not worth every penny. All I did was spray the Stain Remover on, let it sit for a little over a minute. Scrub lightly with a brush and then dab up with paper towel. That's it! No going crazy. No spending forever on my sore aching knees! IT WORKS!!! This is one happy homemaker!

Saving Money, Helping The Environment, And A Clean House ~ Gotta Love That!

I know you are going to think I am weird, and several if not many of my friends would agree (LOL!), but I really do like to clean. I know it's not normal. One of the last things most people like to do is roll up their sleeves and scrub their house! But, I like to clean and it is the best way for me to keep my brain from going into overload.

I don't however, like like the harsh, nasty chemicals in most cleaning products. Years ago I was exposed to some pretty bad ones and I have had a severe sensitivity to things (and other side effects) since then. If I get around too many, I can get pretty sick. So finding good, natural cleaners is vital to me and my health. Oh and that of my family too!

I was introduced to a company called Greenwald. They are a small company that makes amazing cleaning products, including their Citrus All Purpose Cleaner. 

Here are the facts for you about the Cleaner.

1. It's more powerful than the average cleaner purchased at stores. It removes the toughest dirt & grease (even nasty stove and microwave gunk) while leaving a light fresh citrus scent. It's not overpowering like some citrus cleaners.

2. It saves money, because when purchasing either the kit or the refills, it's 30-70% less cost than competing products. That saves me money! I like saving money.

3. It saves a ton of space. Each dissolvable, no mess refill makes a 32 ounce spray bottle and each refill fits in the palm of your hand. I can store gallons of cleaner refills in the size of a cigar box. It frees up space under my kitchen sink. Having a ready supply of refills without having to run out and buy something is wonderful.

4. It's environmentally friendly since I don't have to purchase a new plastic bottle every time I need a new bottle of cleaner. I reuse the existing cleaner bottle that I have. This means less plastic bottle trash that goes to local landfills, let alone less trash I deal with in my home.

5. The refills do not require any excessive packaging. Since I drop the dissolvable packet in the bottle without opening it, there are no extra little bits of plastic being added to the landfills and I don't have any kind of mess to deal with emptying the refill into the spray bottle. Just drop it in, add water and it dissolves making an amazing cleaner.

Most of you know that we have a Newfoundland, and one thing you should know about them is that they have a lot of hair!Tons of it!! Okay, I know that's an exaggeration, but they really do have a lot. Another thing you should know is that their outer coat of hair (yes they have two coats) contains oil that helps them swim and protects their skin from getting too cold in the water. Little tip, the oil gets rubbed off on things like walls and furniture. Our Newfie loves to plop himself down right over top of our air vent to get the cool air from the air conditioning and he rubs against the wall as he plops down! To say the least the walls a mess a lot! Take a look!

Gross! I try to keep up with it, but it's not easy! The Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner has been awesome for keeping the wall looking a lot better and quicker! It takes just a few squirts (the nozzle on the sprayer is adjustable) and all the excess oil from his hair comes right off! See what I mean!

It's a world off difference. It worked on the wall and on the air vent. Both came clean and the room has a light citrus scent too. Best is that I know when he plops down there again, and he will, there will be no harsh chemical residue left behind that he could breathe in or get on his skin and I didn't breathe any in or get any on my skin!

I can heartily recommend Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner to you. It's worked wherever I have used it in the house, a little goes a long way when cleaning, and I love that they are so environmentally responsible.
