I recently was given the opportunity to use and review some products from Clorox Green Works. Even though, via couponing, I have several items from competing manufacturers in my basement, I wanted to try this stuff. Lately, with having two small children–my cleaning tasks are always on the increase, but the products I was using just felt too “chemically.” Does that make sense? But to be honest, even though I’ve had friends say “Oh well you absolutely MUST try baking soda, or vinegar…blah blah blah…” I just don’t feel like I’m getting things as clean with those items. I don’t.

These are the products I received from them:

• Green Works Cleaning Wipes –  It is 100% compostable, so you can clean up after your family and guests.
• Green Works Laundry Detergent –  The dermatologist-tested formula is gentle on skin and formulated for both standard and high-efficiency (HE) washers.
• Green Works Bathroom Cleaner –  The bathroom cleaner is a non-toxic way to power through soap scum, rust and hard water stains — without harsh chemical fumes and residue.
• Green Works All Purpose Cleaner –  It is safe to use on multiple surfaces throughout the kitchen and bathroom, including counters, appliances, stainless steel, sealed granite, chrome, cook top hoods, sinks and toilets.

I can tell you that the laundry detergent is gone! Already!  In fact, I was just laying in bed with my son the other night watching tv, and I could smell his jammies (washed in the detergent) and was thinking that I needed to get more, because I really like the smell. I found it to be comparable to all other premium detergents, as far as cleaning ability, but if this is a bit more environmentally friendly and I like the smell better, it would move into my first choice slot.

The all purpose cleaner I love and it will definitely be replaced when it’s gone. I feel like I am getting my kitchen tables and counters clean without too many harsh chemicals. I used to clean with a harsher product (only because I got it free with coupons) and then I would have to water it down because it felt too strong.

I sent the wipes to school with my son, and felt great about doing so. With how many wipes they go through in a day in his classroom, I like knowing that what I am sending in compostable.

And the bathroom cleaner, again, really liked it. Worked as well as other premium cleaners, but again, when I factor in scent and other factors, it moves to the top of my list. I think if you are concerned about harsh chemicals but still want a clean house, Clorox Green Works should definitely be considered. Check them out on Facebook for printables and other offers.
