Although we try to live as healthily and as naturally as possible, I will not sacrifice cleanliness for the sake of a natural cleaner. If it’s natural and it works, wonderful! The thing is, I hadn’t found a chemical-free line of natural cleaners that worked as well as their chemical competitors…until now.
Seventh Generation, one of the leading names in safe and natural household and personal care products, sent me 10 of their most popular cleaners to try out a couple of months ago. I have been using them exclusively in my home for the past 2 months and I have to say that I am truly impressed with this line!
- Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner, Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner
These are my favorite products of all. By tapping into the disinfecting powers of Thyme, Seventh Generation has created a natural formula that is affective in killing over 99.99% of all household germs, specifically: Influenza A, H1N1, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteric, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The disinfecting cleaners can be used everywhere and anywhere, will not harm hard, non porous surfaces and works well at keeping orders at bay. In addition the the thyme, the scent has a touch of oregano mixed with just a hint of lemon, making it great for the kitchen!
- The Disinfecting Wipes
These are super convenient option – especially with children! In our recreation room, we are forever dealing with little (and big) spills and messes. The wipes are great to have lying around for quick clean.
- Free & Clear All- Purpose Cleaner
This is a GREAT cleaner for those who are sensitive to fragrances, dyes or masking agents. The hypo-allergenic formula is non-toxic, biodegradable and Kosher-certified. By using a Mineral-derived, alkalinity builder and plant-derived cleaning agents Seventh Generation has created a cleanser that helps to achieve target pH for enhanced cleaning performance.
- The Toilet Bowl Cleaner
This works just as well if not better than the conventional toilet cleaner and comes packaged in the same convenient squeeze bottle. After cleaning the dreaded toilet, the scent of Emerald Cypress & Fir leaves a hint of forest freshness behind.
- Shower Cleaner – Green Mandarin & Leaf
I am so used to feeling dizzy and nauseous after cleaning my shower. The fumes can get unbearable at times and I can only do so when the kids are out of the house. This cleaner was a welcome and oh so pleasant surprise! It cleans well, prevents soap scum buildup and can be used everyday. Most importantly, there was no fumes and I was able to leave the bathroom headache free!
As part of the Healthy Home Starter Kit, I also received the Glass and Tub & Tile Cleaners. Both worked very well and I was happy with the performance. After testing out Seventh Generation products, I am officially a convert! My 3 1/2year-old daughter loves to help me clean, however before we switched over to Seventh Generation, I would only allow her to clean with a damp rag. Now, she gets down on her knees with her Free & Clear spray bottle and loves to clean “just like mama”!

YES! I keep thinking about trying natural products because I can’t use the surface cleaners, although I would love to. My nose is really bothered by whatever the main ingredient is. It’s SO bad that if I walk into somebody’s house, I can tell if they’ve used one in the last hour or so.

I have been considering switching to more natural products, and have even bought a few but haven’t really made a concerted effort to change all my stuff over yet. This would be a great start!
