DH hates the smell, but I want to stay green for liv surfaces. For her highchair and bottles/pump parts, etc, I use Dapple products </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151554 Tue, 08 May 2012 11:05:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 151554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I looove melaleuca too, and I would keep using them if they didn't have a minimum monthly order.</p> <p>@chopsuey119: But I like good smelling stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151533 Tue, 08 May 2012 10:40:56 +0000 theknest 151533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone tried Shaklee's products?

Haha. I like method products as well. They smell great and the packaging is cute to boot. I'm such a sucker for that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151466 Tue, 08 May 2012 10:10:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 151466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>these are mine.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/30/mrs-bees-favorite-cleaning-products/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/30/mrs-bees-favorite-cleaning-products/</a></p> <p>i've been using a lot of method products, but really i use vinegar most of all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151433 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:56:17 +0000 chopsuey 151433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Babyganics.

I use Babyganics for everything else, I love their floor cleaner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151335 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:11:00 +0000 Alivoo01 151335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents used to buy Melaleuca products all the time when I was younger. I LOVED their stuff, but my parents stopped buying it for some reason (maybe it's too pricey like you said) so I thought Melaleuca no longer existed! I'll have to look them up again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151235 Tue, 08 May 2012 07:52:02 +0000 betsyboop 151235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Mrs. Meyers products, especially the lemon verbena stuff! I like some Method products too. My absolute favorite is the Milk &amp; mallo baby stuff...the dryer sheets smell like cotton candy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151232 Tue, 08 May 2012 07:45:25 +0000 Minnie_Girl 151232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear by vinegar and baking soda. Those two ingredients can cover most cleaning jobs!</p> <p>For cleaning floors and windows I'll sometimes break out the ammonia, and for glass/tile I make my own modification of Alvin Corn glass cleaner (<a href="http://www.crunchybetty.com/battle-of-the-homemade-glass-cleaners" rel="nofollow">http://www.crunchybetty.com/battle-of-the-homemade-glass-cleaners</a>). </p> <p>I found that the amount of corn starch in the original recipe invariably clogs spray bottles, so I dropped the corn starch down to 1tsp and added some essential oils to slightly improve the smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151202 Tue, 08 May 2012 05:58:05 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 151202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Method for the kitchen and bathroom. It works well, plus the smell of it isn't bad at all. Although, I do admit to using the nasty bleach stuff for the shower tiles. No steam cleaner or natural detergent gets the gout as clean as I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-green-cleaning-products#post-151176 Mon, 07 May 2012 23:52:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 151176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been using melaleuca and I LOVE their products, but it's getting too expensive, they require a minimum monthly order to be a "member". I can't keep up with it, it's usually $80-$90/mo! </p> <p>But I still want to use green products, especially now that I have a baby. </p> <p>what are your favorite brands? I remember buying Seventh Generation back in the day and hated how it smelled.</p> <p>What do you use? </p>
