Ecostore USA Review and Giveaway



To facilitate this review I was sent one Citrus Spray Cleaner and one Laundry Liquid from Ecostore USA.

Ecostore USA products are made from plant and mineral based ingredients. They are free of toxic chemicals. They have full ingredient disclosure on their website and products. Their motto is, No Nasty Chemicals™. They do everything they can to eliminate the nasty ones as shown in the following list of chemicals they avoid:
  • No toxic petrochemicals
  • No Enzymes
  • No Optical Whiteners
  • No synthetic perfumes or dyes
  • No Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
  • No Phosphates*
  • No Chlorine
  • No Ammonia
  • No TEA, DEA or MEA
  • No parabens
  • No propylene glycol
Go here to read why they avoid each of these ingredients. I have read this list several times and I am now further committed to being careful about what kind of household and personal products that I purchase for myself and my family. Ecostore USA is an amazing company that offers consumers an alternative to chemical laden products that are not healthy for us.

I am trying to lessen my carbon footprint on our beautiful planet but my household is not totally green. One of the major reasons is the expense of eco-friendly products. I will go shopping pick up an eco-friendly cleaning product and put it back on the shelf because it costs twice as much if not more than the product I usually buy. Ecostore USA products are different, they offer us value for our money. They can do this because they found a way to keep thier prices down by economically, concentrating their formulations.

We don't use cheap fillers or bulking agents to make it look like you're getting more for your money - just pure active ingredients. This means that you only use a much smaller amount of the product which cuts down significantly on the cost per use In many cases the cost per use is actually less than many 'cheaper looking' supermarket brands

When I removed the products that I received from Ecostore Usa there was a paper enclosed that reads: " All packaging products used for this shipment are environmentally friendly. The packing peanuts are made out of soy, the news print, packing tape and even the boxes are all made out of recyclable paper, as well as the paper this note is printed on."

Citrus Spray Cleaner. - (17 fluid ounces)

Price: $9.00
Sale Price: $5.40
You Save: $3.60 (40 %)

Ingredients:


  • D-Limonene (from citrus)
  • Palm and coconut based non-ionic and anionic surfactants
  • Fatty acid derivative
  • Ethanol
  • Filtered water
I spray this citrus based solvent on my kitchen counter tops and appliances I also use it in my bathroom on my cabinet, tiles, tub and toilet. It is very easy to use, simply spray and wipe. I like this product very much because not only is it environmentally safe and free of nasty chemicals, it works and cleans exceptionally well. Citrus Spray Cleaner Refill can be purchased for the sale price of $4.20.

Laundry Liquid - (33.8 fluid ounces)

Price: $11.00
Sale Price: $6.60
You Save: $4.40 (40 %)

Ingredients:

  • Palm and Coconut based non-ionic and anionic surfactants
  • Fatty acid derivative
  • Mineral hydroxide
  • Certified organic Eucalyptus oil
I love the Laundry Liquid. It comes in a nice large size squeeze bottle. Because it is concentrated you only need to use a small amount. It is scented wonderfully with the freshness of Eucalyptus oil. I had fantastic results when I washed my clothing with this. After washing my clothing came out clean and scented perfectly. This is, in my opinion, the best laundry product that I have ever used.

I am very impressed with the safety and quality of both the Ecostore USA Citrus Spray Cleaner and Laundry Liquid. I am very happy that I had the opportunity to do this review and learn about this extraordinary environmentally friendly company.

Nancy's Appetizers Review and Giveaway

I was given the opportunity to try any one 12CT Nancey's Frozen Appetizer from Mom Central.

From Mom Central:

From cheese soufflés, to mushroom turnovers, crab cakes, petite quiches, and pastry tarts, the Nancy's line serves up a delectable spread that has something for everyone. With the price-point of $4 to $13 per package, they can fit easily with your entertaining budget. Add them to the list of items to stock up on at your local grocery or club store to keep on hand for spontaneous drop-ins



I tried Nancy's Petite Quiche , and they were delicious! I served them to my family as an appetizer before our meal and my sons loved them. In fact they asked for more.The next time that I purchase these I will get the larger 32 count size. Preparation was quick and easy. I removed them form the box, put them on a baking sheet and baked them for 10 minutes. I found the ingredient combination, taste, texture and size to be perfect. I will definitely serve these again and I look forward to trying Nancy's other varieties of Appetizers: Deli Spirals, Seafood Crab Cakes and Mushroom Turnovers. They all sound so good!

I have to admit that I have not made homemade appetizers in years. I think about making some during the holidays but I never seem to have the time with all of the other food preparations. Nancy's frozen Appetizer are a wonderful solution for me to treat my family with that little extra something during our holiday meals this year.

You can find the nearest store to pick up Nancy's or go online to find entertaining tips and recipes at www.Nancys.com

REVIEW

I am always on the lookout for cleaning products that are easy and quick to use.It is also important to me that the product is chemical free. The Ultimate Cloth fits my needs. The Ultimate Cloth is made with an advanced technology, called MiraFiberTM. This enables the cloth to be used for cleaning with just water! It may sound unbelievable but I found it to be true. I used this amazing cloth all over my house to clean mirrors, kitchen and bathroom Formica cabinets, glass ables, windows, tv and computer screens, marble window sills and my kitchen appliances.

The Ultimate Cloth is very easy to use. I simply wet it, wrung it out and it was ready to use. I wiped the surfaces of the above mentioned and I was amazed! I used it first on my windows and mirrors. It left them shiny and most importantly, streak free. I have a large glass coffee table that is hard to clean once my toddler grandchildren have visited. After they visit I usually have to spray it with glass cleaner a few times because they spill food, juice,and milk on it. I usually watch them for an entire day, so you can imagine what the table looks like. I used The Ultimate Cloth on the glass table and it did a fantastic job. I did not need to apply glass cleaner or use paper towels. I also have a large screen tv that has had spots on the screen for the last couple of years that I could never remove, no matter what I tried. The Ultimate Cloth got the spots out and I was so excited. It bothered me seeing the spots and because of that I rarely watched it. The Ultimate Cloth can be hand or machine washed. I loved this product!

Perfect size for most cleaning jobs, the Standard Ultimate Cloth® measures 13.5" X 15.5". The Ultimate Cloth may be purchased online for the price of $6.00. Free domestic shipping until 2010.

Try a Standard Ultimate Cloth® for FREE !
*Free Standard Cloth is $.01 plus shipping/handling. LIMIT 1 per household.


*I received one sample of The Ultimate Cloth to review and write my honest
opinion.
