Method Cleaners Review and Giveaway

In the past year, I’ve reviewed several “green” cleaners and pretty much like them all. But I have found the ultimate bathroom cleaner!

I love to clean, especially my bathroom – NOT!

However, the new Method Antibac bathroom cleaner is spearmint scented and does wonders for bathrooms. I did have to breakdown and clean it this past Sunday. It wasn’t so bad – I had this cool, stylish cleaner, it actually cleaned with out harsh chemicals and it smelled great!
My husband was rolling his eyes at me every time I talked about it. But when you have boys – who can’t aim (you know what I mean) – clean smells matter.

So what makes Method great!

I’m guessing you’ve heard of method hand soaps before, but this is the new Method Antibac. Method has partnered with CleanWell Company, makers of the thyme-based disinfecting technology, to create a patented botanical formula that kills 99.99 percent of household bacteria including E.coli, salmonella enterica, influenza A and H1N1 virus on hard, non-porous surfaces.

The 3 new botanical cleaners are :
* the antibacterial kitchen cleaning spray in lemon verbena
* the antibacterial bathroom cleaning spray in spearmint
* the all purpose cleaning and disinfecting wipes in lemon verbena

Method cleans and kills germs without using bleach or triclosan. They do it with botanical ingredients instead. Method makes planet-friendly, stylish cleaning and home care products. The company was started by two high school friends who care equally about the environment and beautiful design in the home. It was nice to have a cool bottle. I know that sounds corny, but when you hate to clean, at least you can have a cool cleaner that’s good for you and the environment.

The wonderful bathroom spray, I raved about, is optimized to target soap scum and hard water stains while the kitchen cleaner is designed to cut through grease and grime. I have those orange water stains in my shower and this worked very well.

Method products sell for $3.99, about the same as others and you can find them at stores like Target, Lowes and others.

You can more information about Method’s ingredients by visiting their website – http://www.methodhome.com/

Dreamin’ of a Green Christmas

I’ve made a vow to be green this Christmas.
How will I do this?
I will not buy any of those cute boxes to put my presents in. I’m saving boxes from home and work. I used some of these last year. They are great, no one can guess that there is a shirt in there. And they are all different shapes.
I’m buying ‘green’ gifts. If you’re on my list – be for warned. You will either get a homemade gift or something green or eco-friendy. Don’t worry though, it will be cool – I promise.
I’m not buying any wrapping paper. I will use what I have. This one will be hard. I LOVE PAPER! I’m saving brown paper from work and will have the kids color or stamp it. I may even use cartoons.
What are you going to do this year to be ‘green’?

Cool Green Products Review and a Giveaway

I did some research over the summer and found some really interesting “green” products. I found some really odd ones too, but I’ll save those for another day.
I did get to review all of theses products and there will be a giveaway of one of them too!

The HydroRight Dual Flusher

Have you seen the new toilets that have two flushers? I stayed at a hotel that had one. It was cool. There’s a flusher for one type of deposit and a flusher for the other type of deposit. My neighbors recently replaced their toilets with these and I thought, “I want one too”. But I can’t just replace my toilets.

For about the past year we’ve been going by the slogan “if it’s yellow, let it mellow….” you know what I mean. You do, don’t you. Anyway it works for us. We don’t do it if we have company, but when it’s just the four of us. I also thought about putting a brick in the tank or a large bottle to help save water. Well I have the best thing to share…

The HydroRight Dual Flush can do the same thing. You place the HydroRight into your tank. Takes under 10 minutes to install no tools are needed. It took awhile to get my husband to just do it, but he said it was very easy.
Did you know that without dual flushes, 80% of the flushes, waste water. You can buy them on their website or at home improvement stores. They even have a water calculator to see if you’re wasting water.

Recycled pens and pencils form Paper Mate.

I really like this one. We go through many pens where I work and when the ink runs out, there goes the pen and all that plastic. These new pens and pencils are made from recycle materials and when there done, you can recycle them again. They are biodegradable too!

Paper Mate Pencils: These are made from corn, instead of petroleum-based plastics, so when the product comes in contact with soil, it will naturally decompose and biodegrade. And of course the packaging is also made out of 100 percent recyclable materials and is plastic-free.


The Paper Mate Recycled Pens are made from anywhere from 67 percent to 80 percent recycled materials. They come in different colors too. I tried them out and they’re no different than any other pens, except I like them better because they’re recycled and are recyclable!

And to top it off, Paper Mate has partnered with TerraCycle. My favorite company!!So all of their old pens can be “upcycled” into new products. You can learn more about the program here: http://www.terracycle.net/brigades/40-Writing-Instruments-Brigade.

Hydros Water Bottles

Want a water bottle that you can fill up anywhere with tap water? Try the Hydros Water Bottle, I did and love it! What is it? It’s is a filtered reusable water bottle with a built-in filter.

It makes me sad every time I see people buying cases of bottled water. I’m sorry, it does. It’s really easy to use refillable bottles, once you just do it! And the Hydros Water Bottle is perfect for those who only like filtered water. You;ll always have a filter, it’s in the bottle.

These are made in the USA and they are PBA FREE. The other day while out and about, Target had some great water bottles for .99. I was going to get a few for Christmas, but there was no PBA free notification on the bottle. The more I thought about, the more I did not want to buy them, so I put them back. I’d rather but BPA free!

You can order them online at https://hydrosbottle.com/.

I love mine! I use it everyday. My only complaint is when my husband tightens it, I can never get the lid off to drink the water. I always have to ask the security guard at work. But other than that, it’s awesome!

So would you like to win one of these cool products? One Mommy Has to Work reader will be able to win a HydroRight Dual Flusher!

Strawsome Review and Giveaway


Looking for a great eco-friendly gift for the holidays? I always have that one person who everything and I have no idea what to get them.

Strawsome Straws are the answer! Strawsome straws are made from glass. So they are reusable and very eco-friendly. Think of all those straws in the landfill.

These straws are made from the same glass that Pyrex is made from. So that means they’re very sturdy. They are non-toxic, no need to worry about hot liquids. Strawsome Straws are also dishwasher safe. I haven’t washed mine this way, though. I clean them with a pipe cleaner, although there are straw cleaners to be bought. These are made in the USA, always a plus for me, and they come with a 100% guarantee.

I love using mine! I will admit, I haven’t let the kids use them. I know I should, but it’s like it’s a special treat just for me.

The straws come extra long, short and decorative. Some are made a little larger for smoothies. You can even personalize them. I wanted to get my dad a set, but I’m not sure he’ll actually use them. I love that they even have straws just for kids. Oh and check out the individual carrying cases. What a great idea!

Strawsome Straws would like to give one Mommy Has to Work reader a 8″decorative smoothie straw.

To enter visit Strawsome Straws and tell me which ones you like!

Ecostore Review


This is my second review for Ecostore and I love everything I’ve tried! Ecostore has everything from baby care, bath and body care, products for the home and even for your pets! Their motto is no nasty chemicals.

Ecostore is doing good by nature. They love making a difference in people’s lives. Their guiding principle of every formulation is and will always be that the end product must not only be good for the user, but good for the planet.

Plus Ecostore is gentle on the budget. It can be expensive to buy organic and natural products. The products are super-concentrating, so a little bit goes a long way. I was able to try the liquid dish wash and liquid laundry soaps. I’ve just about used of it. The dish wash soap works great and smells great too. The laundry soap is good too. I’ve had no problems with either. I really love using their products. I’m still using the products I reviewed last time. I keep a bottle of the Citrus Spray Cleaner at work to use on my desk.

Ecostore can be found on Twitter and Facebook. Go and check them out. And they offer free shipping on orders over $25.

I was sent products in order to facilitate this review. The opinions are my own.
