Seventh Generation (and a giveaway)!

Posted on by

I recently got the chance to try out some Seventh Generation cleaning products, and one lucky reader will also have a chance to try them (keep reading to find out how). I had always been curious to try their products because I care about chemicals, and especially I wanted to find something that worked well but didn’t have harsh smells. Luckily, Seventh Generation, has been promoting “responsible cleaning” for the past twenty years! And I got a chance to try out their new line of disinfecting products, along with some other fun goodies.

Seventh Generation has tapped into the disinfecting power of the herb thyme, which kills germs naturally! The disinfectants contain thymol, a component of the herb thyme, which can be used on counter tops and a variety of other hard surfaces. Best of all, they kill over 99.99 percent of germs naturally and are effective against the Influenza A Virus, including H1N1. And, they don’t have that awful chemical smell, which made my nose very happy.

The paper towels are great too! We used them to clean up in our kitchen after finishing our new tile back splash, and not only did they hold up to the abuse, but we felt great knowing that they were 100% recycled, unbleached paper towels. I plan on getting more to have on hand for easy clean ups.

You have the chance to win the same cleaning kit that Seventh Generation sent to me for this review.  It contains an awesome book called The Conscious Kitchen, in addition to cleaning products and a handy carrier to make cleaning a breeze. Would you like a chance to win?

  • Leave a comment on this post letting me know why you would like to try Seventh Generation products.
  • The giveaway will end at midnight on Wed, April 7th, 2010.
  • You may comment daily until the giveaway ends.
  • This giveaway is open to those in the USA only.
  • The winner will be chosen at random and contacted by email. They will then have 3 days to respond, otherwise we will choose a new winner.

*Thanks to Seventh Generation and MyBlogSpark for providing the products for review and giveaway.*

Congrats to lucky #1, Jenn!

  1. That’s awesome! I’ve seen and considered trying them too. I’ve hesitated, because a) they tend to be a lot more expensive, and my budget is super tight lately, and b) I always worry about “natural” cleaners not being as effective. I know, lazy ol’ me, but I can’t bring myself to use a cleaner that’s going to require me to apply “elbow grease” when there’s one available that’ll just cut through stuff on its own, LOL. But if these really are as good as other stuff, it’d be well-worth not having the harsh chemicals in the house, which are scary for so many reasons… environmentally, around my young children, etc, etc!

  3. I have been wanting to try these products for a long time. They sound great. I use baking soda and vinegar, steam mop, and lemon juice to clean most things because I dont want toxic stuff around my kids, etc. I would love to try something different though, and I am willing to pay more for quality, and love that these are environmentally friendly!
