Every once in a while I get hooked on something; such is the case currently. These days I'm infatuated with Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products. They make a slew of products to fulfill a number of needs (from laundry detergent to baby oil) but what I care about most are the kitchen products (i.e. dish soap, countertop spray, etc.)
Right about now you're thinking: "What's the big deal? It's just dish soap." Okay, I see your point. I am someone who hates doing dishes; it's a necessary evil. However, I don't want my home to resemble anything from my latest TV show obsession, Hoarders, so I stay on top of my dishes. Mrs. Meyer's creates what they call "aromatherapeutic household cleaners." For me, it makes the chore of scrubbing pots and pans a pleasant experience, at least for my nose.
My personal favorite scent is basil, with geranium coming in a close second. Other garden-inspired aromas include lavender, lemon verbena and baby blossom. They also carry scent-free items. It doesn't hurt that whenever possible, the people at Mrs. Meyer's use natural ingredients. These eco-friendly and biodegradable products are safe to use around pets, kids and mothers-to-be.
Don't think the products are wimpy just because they're green-minded. Their philosophy is simply "to make straightforward, honest cleaners that smell good and work like the dickens on dirt." So far I've been impressed.
You can find Mrs. Meyer's products at a handful of York locations, Weis Markets among them. Or you can order off their website, www.mrsmeyers.com. If you prefer the latter, you can get an online coupon for $5 off an order of $25 or more when you sign up for e-mail updates.
Their products cost a little more than your average name brand dish soap, while still being reasonably priced. If you're starting out, I recommend saving a little dough by ordering the kitchen basics set--full-sized dish soap, countertop spray and hand soap in the scent of your choice--for $9.99. Otherwise, each item comes in at $3.99 individually.
Happy cleaning everyone!
I just saw a whole bunch of these on super sale at the TJ Maxx in Mechanicsburg!
Hmmm. Soap. Countertop spray. What will be next? Stove spray? Fridge Spray? Trash can spray? How silly, when soap, any glass cleaner or other cleanser most people already have wull do the same jobs and probably better.
Actually, they make an all-purpose cleaner that works for just about anything. It's perfect for those who don't like to compartmentalize :-)
Thanks for the tip. It's time to stock up!
