Sorry for the Wait

Well I see that it has been quite sometime since I was able to get back here. Sorry, I had cool mom things to do like run a elementary school book fair and teacher appreciation events right after. Even if it put me out of contact with anyone over the age of 12 or school personnel it was worth it!
So I went out and got the most of the method line of products and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how well they cleaned. I would not advise the wipes as they are on the dry side so you use more then one per job. Also the window cleaner can be a little streaky if you don't rub it all off. But the smells of the products is nice. The only hand soap I would suggest smelling before buying is the french lavender. It isn't your typical lavender. I love the mop but that could also be because there is no water needed so my 5 year old has nothing to play in if I get called away while mopping. Also the almond smell of the wood products still makes me want to use them daily to keep the smell going, but alas I am not that much of a cleaner.
The only products I haven't tried of theirs yet is the tile cleaner, the free and clear line, and the machine soaps (washing machine, dryer, dish washer). But as I usually buy those products from Bj's there is still plenty left, even with my family size. Also I doubt I will try the clothes products yet as I want to try the washer and dryer balls that I have seen. I'll let you know on that later.
My in-laws also decided to pay a last minute visit during the last two weeks. (last minute as they live in FL and we live in MD) They called Monday morning and came Friday afternoon so along with doing my school duties I also wound up having to set up the guestroom we had been planning to do (you know sometime in the future when we had time or before Christmas and their scheduled visit). Doing that I discovered eco- friendly pillows, I guess now there is not much out there that doesn't help the environment some as long as you look. Though it you may have to look for them as they seem to never be in an easy place either on top or bottom shelves or worse case in their own section away from the "regular" products that do the same jobs. So keep a look out and see what you can replace with something a little nicer for both you and yours and our home the Earth.
