Reduced Environmental Footprint with iQ Cleaning Solution

July 6, 2011 by Momstart 10 Comments

I’d call myself a brand loyalist. I have select brands I love to use in my life, and I use them religiously. For my cleaning I use a store bought concentration. I fill the bottles myself and am sometimes too lazy to use a funnel so I lose valuable product and it really is money down the drain depending on that day’s aim. I have recently been converted to a REFill® (Reduced Environmental Footprint) cartridge technology by the iQ cleaning line which involves reusable bottles and no mess, perfectly measured concentrated cleaning solution for my entire house.

EASY! In the first picture, is the reusable bottle and cartridge (so you know what you’re looking for). The middle picture is the reusable bottle filled with water to the premeasured line. The cartridge has been placed and rests on top of the bottle; a hole in the middle of the cartridge is just the perfect size for the straw of the spray nozzle. The last picture is me attaching the spray nozzle to the bottle at which time the cartridge released the cleaning concentrate. Brilliant, no? Any the best part … wait for it … no, don’t … YOUR CHILDREN can do it! Get your children to help you clean and making it fun as they can watch the mixture form. “The mix” is made from plant based and ecologically sustainable ingredients.

The iQ cleaning line, brought to us by Planet People, reduces plastic waste by 80% by having purchasers switch to 3½-inch REFIlls eliminating the need to product millions of fill-sized plastic containers. iQ also helps save the environment by not shipping “water” across the continent. Erin Green, president of Plant People, “It takes an astonishing gallon of crude oil to make just 29 bottles of household cleaner and even more to transport it across the country or continent. For a product that is 95% water, the costs to the environment – and to the consumer – just don’t add up.”

The iQ Starter Kit, which includes your refillable bottler and one REFill cartridge, will run you about $5. Then a REFill replacement cartridge will only dig into your pocket for approximately $2 each.

I love iQ. It cleans perfectly, smells great (you know the clean smell – they have it nailed with hints of green tea, bamboo berry, nectarine and plum), and is easy to use! Highly, highly, highly recommended from me; as I stated, I’ve converted to iQ.

You can purchase Plant People products, including iQ and REFill cartridges on Drugstore.com, Alice.com, or a local retailer near you. Locate the Planet People on their website, and also find iQ cleaning products on their site. Find out more about iQ cleaner by Liking iQ Cleaner on Facebook.

Cleaning with Glass Cleaner from Tropical Traditions Giveaway

May 1, 2010 by Momstart 278 Comments

Working with Tropical Traditions over the past six months has been quite an enlightening experience. I never knew how many different uses there were for such a simple plant as a coconut. The latest item I received for review was the Tropical Traditions Glass and Surface Cleaner. It is perfect to use on my countertops because there is no ammonia or alcohol in it. We aren’t supposed to use any chemicals on our countertops, that actually makes their product a great choice for us.Glass and Surface Cleaner - 1 gallon

I also used the Glass and Surface cleaner to clean the mirrors in my bathroom and the glass on my back door. The product doesn’t leave any streaks, and to my disappointment has no smell. I was actually hoping it would smell like coconuts. However, with no fragrance or dye, I can use it an not offend anyone in the house with the smell of cleaners. We have some pretty sensitive noses in this house.

Directions for use: Spray Household Traditions Glass and Surface Cleaner directly onto the glass or surface to be cleaned. For a fast drying, streak free finish, wipe with a clean, lint free, dry cloth. NO RINSING IS NECESSARY! Household Traditions Glass and Surface Cleaner can be used on ALL glass including treated glass, auto windshields, Plexiglas, light fixtures, and mirrors. It can also be used on chrome, appliances, vinyl, stainless steel, plastic, porcelain, countertops, walls, floors and more! It is ideal for computers and computer screens (spray onto cloth and wipe). If unsure about a surface, test in a small hidden area first
