Customer Reviews

Used for years
I've used these cleaning cloths for about ten years, since picking up a couple while on vacation. They work superbly, removing smudges and fingerprints from lenses of all kinds. Easily washed and fully functional afterward, they last years. That's a good thing because I couldn't find them for years until I thought to query Amazon (yes, I'm dim).

Good but serious flaw!!
Read the back of the package - particles collect on this cloth and will scratch the surface!! Unfortunately this problem pretty much ruins the concept.

I learned the hard way - fresh out of the pack the wipes were great - I have been struggling to find something to clean my expensive eye-glasses, plus other lenses. I thought I finally found what I need...BUT...

After a couple days I used the cloth and it scratched up the surface with little "micro" scratches - like the surface was roughed with sandpaper. So my glasses are not sharp anymore. Ruined. Then I read the fine print in back - dust must collect on the cloth and then ruin everything.

Frankly, only disposable cloth makes sense because of this. PLEASE DON'T RUIN YOUR EXPENSIVE LENSES!!! Be CAREFUL with these. Sorry 3M - nice try - but need a disposable version.

Perfect Eyeglasses cleaning cloth
They are small, easy to use and do a fantastic job cleaning glasses.
The package can be open in such a way as to act as a protective holder for the cloth to keep it clean yet the entire thing fits in a shirt pocket without being lumpy.

These are extremely hard to find outside of Amazon.com.
Try them out.

Customer Reviews

Fall apart too easily
I bought a bunch of these and a few 3 packs of Brawny durafresh sponges.

The soft side of these sponges rub off on any mildly rough surface while the Brawny durafresh sponge doesn't. For example, I used the Scotch-Brite to remove a spot on my wall and instead of removing the spot, it added blue pieces to the wall. The brawny didn't fall apart at all. I threw away all these scotch-brite sponges and now only use the Brawny sponges.

I don't think amazon sells the durafresh sponge but if you want quality go with them. I'm very picky when it comes to cleaning products and I know quality when I see it.

Another great 3M product!
As usual, these no scratch scrub sponges perform well in my kitchen and bathrooms. They last much longer than other brands that I had in the past.
I usually run through it in the microwave(soak in water first)for 60 seconds once a day to kill off the bacterias.

Natural Mold Cleaners - Emergency Clean-Up 101

2008-10-12T21:57:00.000-07:00

Every family loves to spend time with each other as much as they can. Lets talk about straightening up your home as an example, can take time away from you and your loved ones but the house will be nice and clean, but we can help you get things done a lot quicker if you do it our way. If you have at least five minutes each day, focus this time on the areas that are the most messiest. You could also throw away, recycle or donate any clothes that you need out of your room, or in the kithcen or garage. Focus on one cleaning chore for a few minutes before moving on. Some people like to stand in the room that needs the most attention, and pinpoint where the first place to clean will be.

Trying to locate the perfect natural cleaning products such as mold and mildew remover can help you spend less time looking and more time getting the job done. You will notice that these mold cleaners will take care of mold almost instantly. Since there has been so much research involved in creating these green cleaning products, there is no need to worry over the safety of every one in your household and mold and mildew are totally removed and prevented from ever coming back. Make sure that you dry everything after cleaning so as not to encourage mold and mildew growth.

We watch a lot of television during the week, why not pick up the vaccuum and clean up the floors while watching ther television. During the commercial breaks, you can get up and pick up everything that needs to be done even in another room. Also clean as you go like when you are in the kitchen, take your wooden cooking tools and place them right in the washer. Wipe up any messes on the kitchen counter as soon as possible and after dinner you can finish up but then you won't have to deal with stubborn stains anymore. The kitchen for most people is labeled as the place everyone frequenrts but with the help of technology and our own common sense, we can cut the amount of time set aside to clean, having more time focused on our meals for them to taste better and have more enjoyable times with our families and friends. Aside from the right natural mold cleaning products, cleaning time can be cut in half you can create a common rule that what ever you bring into a room you must take out of the room, it is your responsibility to have to take them back out. This rule can require some prodding on your part but in time there wil be less enforcement and more overseeing. Some people have the luxury of owning a mansion with big rooms that need cleaning, you might want to have all your cleaners for that room in a plastic bag, dry rags, scrubbing tools and clean towerls in each room. This way, it will save you time running back and forth getting these supplies and you can spend more time cleaning rather than looking for items to help you clean.

No one wants to spend the whole day cleaning the home and would rather spend as much time with our loved ones as possible but cleaning has to be done. At the same time, we like the fact that when the job is done we can sit back and enjoy the rest of the day with loved ones. Since hosuehold cleaning can be a tiresome task we take great care in including this in our household routine. With our growing knowledge and advances in technology, we can descrease the time it takes to clean our homes, providing us more valuable time spent with friends and family. Just equip yourself with the right information and cleaning products such as mold and mildew remover.

Products that are non-toxic and cause a low impact on the environment will normally be labelled to highlight this advantage. If you were concerned over the environmental damage from using these kinds of cleaning products then it would be a good idea to avoid products with chlorine and phosphate.

Liquid Dishwashing Cleaner Earth Friendly Products

2008-10-05T21:55:00.000-07:00

Earth Friendly Products Dishmate Liquid Dishwashing Cleaner, Natural Almond, 25-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12)
From Earth Friendly Products

Customer Reviews

Clean and Natural
I've really enjoyed using this product (for as much as you can enjoy doing the dishes) I started using it after reading Organic Housekeeping by Ellen Sandbeck. Since I was using a castile soap (Dr. Bronners) for hands and body, I switched to this product in the shower as well and just added pure essentials oils for fragrance.

Nothing Else Compares
This is hands down my favorite dish soap. The stuff smells fantastic, is cruelty-free, environmentally safe, plus something else people really don't seem to think about much: non-toxic. I challenge you: try this product, read the ingredients, then go to your local supermarket and look at the stuff that's on the shelves there. You can't pronounce most of the ingredients, you don't know what they are, and if you smell the stuff, you know darned well you shouldn't be ingesting it or getting it on your skin. The days of having to compromise cleaning ability, style, smell, whatever your standards are in order to choose the eco-friendly, cruelty-free products are over and this product is one example of the proof. One you try it, you'll never buy that P&G, Unilever, etc... garbage again! You and your loved ones will be better off for it, too. The other products this company makes are great too, this is just my favorite one.

Earth Friendly; works well; smells good!
I've signed up to have purchase this item on the subscription plan.

It cleans really well and a little goes a long way. The scent is lovely without being over the top.

Earth Friendly Products Carpet Shampoo 40 Ounces

2008-10-03T23:18:00.000-07:00

Earth Friendly Products Carpet Shampoo, Concentrated with Bergamot & Sage, 40 Ounces (Pack of 8)
From Earth Friendly Products

Soft Fluffy Carpets
Earth Friendly Carpet Shampoo is not highly scented and has a delicate scent you could enhance with your own essential oils. I used this in a Dirt Devil Easy Steamer Deluxe carpet cleaner and there was no problem with foaming and this product worked very effectively to dissolve dirt and to remove stains.

This would be perfect for smaller carpet cleaners too and the solution can be used in hot or cold steam machines. The 40:1 Dilution Ratio makes this economical and one bottle of shampoo will clean up to eight average-sized rooms.

Ingredients: Plant-based surfactants, Soap Bark, Chamomile, Horsetail Plant, Bergamot, Sage and Purified water.

This is a natural, non-toxic product that helps to make the world a better place and puts you in a good mood because it truly gets your carpets super clean. This product can be used on wool, nylon, olefin and cotton rugs.

Biodegradable
Color Safe
Petrochemical Free

I was very pleased with the results and felt much safer using this product than anything I've tried before. It was comforting to know that a product exists that won't harm your health and fill your house with irritating chemicals. The carpets also seemed to dry faster and by the next day they were soft and fluffy!

Highly Recommended!

~The Rebecca Review

Good Product!
I love this product. Having children that crawl and play on the floor it's nice to feel that you are not exposing them to abrasive cleaners with bad chemicals.
I have not noticed any difference in performance between this and the hoover carpet shampoos. Before starting up the steam cleaner, I do recommend mixing a stronger solution in a glass and apply it as a spot treatment with a dish washing brush. Makes the process faster and easier.

Works great
This product works as good as other carpet cleaner except that I feel a lot better knowing that it does not have any teflon or harsh chemicals in it.

Cleaning from Top to Bottom

2008-09-26T21:36:00.000-07:00

It may sound shocking to someone like you but the fact is that house cleaning activities are known to relieve the ragged nerves of a worn-out psyche. Discovering what kind of household chore presents that inner peace is conceivably a personal issue. The chores that you regard as tedious and pointless may be those activities that relax other people. Maybe washing those hard-to-reach spots might be your classification of an unpleasant task but whatever it may be, one thing is positively certain and that is to constantly pursue what your spirit tells you. Use all natural and safe cleaning supplies in order to protect your body and of course the environment. Opening your windows and doors lets the clean air to move inside and preferably rotate the mattresses and pillows as well even for a whole day. Brighten your world and start washing your windows and window screens and you will immediately perk up the ambiance indoors. Please take out your chair and sofa cushions and air them out and vacuum all furniture if need be. Buff and polish the wood finishes. You can either wash or dry clean them your slip covers. Relieve your stress by having a clean kitchen and you can start by emptying your refrigerator and freezer first prior to washing the interior with water and baking soda. Clean those drip pans after draining them and reorganize the items inside by removing those that have expired or are not viable and restocking your empty shelves. Vacuum the coils that have gathered dust at the back of your refrigerator and always check your electrical devices. Wash or replace the filters of your air conditioners and furnace and change the batteries of your smoke detectors. Make sure that your fire extinguishers in your home are in close proximity to your kitchen, bedroom and the hearth. You can also hire professionals if you have wall to wall carpeting or you could also use the latest carpet cleaning products that are very safe to use. For your floors, make certain that you always vacuum first and after that you can mop and wax by identifying what sort of flooring and finish your house has. Take care to circumvent scratches by vacuuming every so often for the reason that the dirt can cause the scrapes. Commit to memory that you must affix felt to the legs of your furniture before returning them to recently finished floors. For your rugs and carpets, it is sensible to vacuum and wash your area rugs or you can do the conventional method by draping them on a clothesline and thumping the dust out. Execute a careful clean-up of your fireplaces no less than every year by removing dirt and fragments from the fireplace and to be out of harm's way, have a certified person do a chimney and firebox cleaning as well. For your medicine cabinet, make sure that your expired medicines, old cosmetics and sunscreen are thrown out as they can do harm to your family if unnoticed and used. Restore your bathroom space by doing a habitual cleaning of your tub, tile and sink. Try not to overlook washing those shower curtains if you cannot meet the expense of changing them. Work your way from top to bottom and do whatever it is that suits your fancy and use the right cleaning products.

For Something New - Try Cleaning without Chemicals

2008-09-24T22:44:00.000-07:00

Over the past few years there has been a push toward the creation and use of organic cleaners and household cleaners that are safe for our family, pets, and environment. It may be hard at first to make the shift from chemical cleaners to organic cleaners or homemade cleaners, but it will benefit you in the long run.
Chemical toilet bowl cleaners are flushed directly into private septic tanks and city sewage lines. Sink cleaners and chemicals designed to unclog sink and shower drains still make their way into the septic and sewage lines too. Chemical cleaners are sprayed directly or indirectly into the air, inhaled by our families and our pets, and sprayed onto surfaces that we eat or drink off of.
Instead of making our families or pets sick from all the chemicals, why not try for to accomplish cleaning with every day household supplies. Cleaners that are made from using normal household items can save you money and help protect the surfaces that you are cleaning in your home. There are many organic cleaners out there that work just as good as the chemical cleaners. Those are not listed, the focus here is simple items you may have around the house.
• Baking Soda: Baking soda can neutralize odors in carpers, work to remove grease stains from kitchen appliances, and can be used in place of laundry detergent. Baking soda is a great way to remove stains and great for unclogging drains. By letting a half a cup of salt and a full cup of baking soda sit in the drain overnight and in the morning washing the mixture down the drain using two cups of boiling water, your drains will be unclogged and there was no chemical needed.
• Vinegar: Vinegar is a great surface cleaner. Vinegar can kill molds and mildew if allowed to soak on the surface for a few hours. Vinegar is great for washing windows and scrubbing ceramic floors.
• Olive Oil: Olive Oil, when mixed with a small amount of Vinegar is a great replacement for furniture polish. Olive oil can also be used to polish your kitchen sink.
• Lemon Juice: Lemon Juice can be used on those hard to clean bathroom surfaces infected with soap scum and water stains. When combined with baking soda and vinegar, lemon juice can make the perfect cleaner for brass and copper.
• Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen Peroxide is great for cleaning out toilet bowls and showers. Adding a bit of Hydrogen Peroxide to the toilet bowl overnight can clean and disinfect.
Having a clean and safe home is a top priority for all of us. Having a clean and safe home without having to use chemicals is not impossible. According to the Environmental Protection Agency and the American Lung Association, chemicals in normal household cleaners can be dangerous.

Cleaning Can Soothe Your Spirit

2008-09-22T22:03:00.000-07:00

In some way, cleaning can generate a heartwarming sense that some thing, at least one small spot of the universe, has been correctly set to right and all is well. When you try to ascertain which household job gives you that inner peace, it is conceivably a personal matter. You may well be fairly amazed at what you will learn. The chores that you think that are dull and nonsensical could be those activities that other people find relaxing.

Use the right cleaning products and work your way from top to bottom and do whatever it is that suits your fancy. You can dust, vacuum, swab, buff and clean to your heartâ€™s desire. Make an effort to brighten your world by washing your windows and window screens and you will immediately perk up the ambiance indoors. Also do not fail to remember to include the window frames and sills. Pull out your chair and sofa cushions and air them out. Vacuum all furnishings and if needed, buff and polish the wood finishes. You can either wash or dry clean your slip covers. Rotate the mattresses and pillows even for a day if possible. Opening your windows and doors allows the fresh air to circulate.

Always vacuum first and then swab and wax your floors depending on what type of flooring and finish you may have. Check to circumvent scratches by vacuuming occasionally since the dirt can cause the scratches. Keep in mind that you must fasten felt to the legs of your furniture prior to returning them to recently done floors. For your rugs and carpets, it is suitable to vacuum and machine wash your area rugs or you can do it the traditional way by hanging them on a clothesline and thumping the dust out. You can also engage experts if you have wall to wall carpeting or you could also make use of the latest carpet cleaning products that are very safe to use.

Check your appliances. Clean or change the filters of your air conditioners and heater and replace the batteries of your smoke detectors. If you have a fire extinguisher, make sure that they are near your kitchen, bedroom and most importantly, the fireplace. If you want to have a clean and organized kitchen then you can start by emptying your refrigerator and freezer first. After that, make sure to wash the inside with water and baking soda. Clean those drip pans after draining them and rearrange the items within by taking away those that have perished or are not viable and replenishing your vacant shelves. You can vacuum the coils that have collected dust in the rear.

A systematic clean-up of your fireplaces should be done at least annually by eradicating dirt and waste from the hearth and to be safe have a professional do a chimney and firebox cleaning as well. For your medicine cabinet, check if you have already expired medicines, old cosmetics and sunscreen as they can do damage to your family if overlooked and used. Renew your bathroom space by doing a routine cleaning of your tub, tile and sink. Try not to forget washing those shower curtains if you cannot afford to replace them. Use all natural and safe cleaning supplies in order to protect your body and of course the environment.

Customer Reviews

swiffer problem-no refills
I actually liked this product a lot-however be aware that they no longer make the refills. If you like it, buy up a lot of the refills because it's your last chance.
Doesn't seem right to continue to sell a product when it won't be usable when the initial run of refills is no longer available.

inexpensive alternative to a carpet sweeper, great if you have pets
this is a cheap alternative to a carpet sweeper, the swifter carpet "flick." it is extremely lightweight and fairly durable. you slide in little disposable sticky cards and this is what picks the debris up off your floor.

all i can say is, your kids will easily be able to handle this device and have fun with it helping you "clean" and it's nice not to have to drag out anything heavy at the end of an exhausting day.

as an extra bonus, it is IDEAL for sweeping off the top layer of pet hair that gathers on your floors, if you have furry cats or dogs. the hair gets stuck on the card, not in the rollers of a sweeper device or vacuum cleaner, and thus your carpets look better and stay fresher.

they'll probably discontinue this soon due to lack of interest so i'm gonna try and buy up as many of these sticky cards cards as possible, at least the ones that are offered at a reasonable price. this invention is worth the 11 or 12 bux.

Avoid this waste of money!!
We bought it from Wal-mart and tried it as soon as we got home. Then, we promptly boxed it right up and took it back for a refund!! We tried it on carpet AND tile--it did not work at all!! No, it did not pick up the cat hair or dog hair as promised! My son wanted to drop some cereal on the floor (which I let him do--we had Cocoa Pebbles) and it picked up just a few pieces (the dog did the rest)!

While some of the Swiffer products are great, this is the worst!! Buy a regular, old-fashioned carpet sweeper. Better yet, use a broom for tile floors (or a Swiffer) and a regular vacuum on the carpet!

Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Detergent, Free & Clear, 48-Ounce Bottles (Case of 6)

Customer Reviews

Works great
So far this product has been working much better than the palmolive I used to get at the grocery store. This product doesn't leave in film on your hands or the plates.

way over priced at amazon
I am allergic to chemicals so this is the only dish liquid I use...well.. actually the one with lavender oil. It works great and I can also use it when doing general house cleaning. But, I get it at Target for $1.49 a bottle so this is way over priced...

Like Water - No Smell, no staying power
This detergent is so THIN I accused my husband of watering it down. It is unscented, but just try to get it to stay on a sponge. You end up using ten times more that if you use a better product, like Mrs. Meyers. NOT WORTH THE COST.

Customer Reviews

Excellent When Used AS INTENDED
I have five cats. This means a lot of cat litter, cat food, and cat hair on the vinyl floor in my utility room. The Swiffer Sweeper Vac is perfect for quickly and easily picking up all of the above.

It is light-weight, and does not scratch the floors. No dust pan and brush needed. The flexible sweeping head swivels easily to reach into corners and under cabinets with no problem.

Important to keep in mind:

In the user manual that comes with the product, it states you MUST charge the battery for a full 24 hours before first use.

It states the vac will run for about 10 - 12 minutes on one charge, then need to be charged for 16 hours.

It states the Sweeper&Vac operates best if used until fully discharged before charging again.

It is intended for dry pick up only, not liquids.

The dirt container is small. I just checked, and one 8-oz measuring cup of dry cat litter more than fills it. I'd say 4 - 6 oz is more like it.

i might get that shamwow and cut it to fit my swiffer vacuum and wet jet, that would save some money since the shamwow can be tossed in the washer.

i would have given this a five star if the charge lasted longer and
they sold reusable cloths for this. if my swiffer breaks, i will get another one.

It does NOT work well on carpet.

The manual suggests storing the Sweeper Vac near an outlet where it is convenient to charge every time.

If you will not be happy with these limitations, you will not be happy with this product!

The floor in my utility room is small, about 6' X 10'.

If you have a very large house, or many rooms with hardwood, tile, or vinyl floors, you may not be happy with the Sweeper Vac, as many other reviews have stated. It simply isn't intended to run for long periods of time on one charge. I'd suggest getting some other floor cleaning appliance.

Seiffer Vac.
It does what it was advertise to do. Very rare in today's market. Good price, and seems to be very well made. I would recommend it to anyone with hard wood floors.

If you want something for quick dry-pick-up, with no stooping or bending to use dust pan and brush, the Swiffer Sweeper Vac may be just the thing.

The dirt container does pull off very easily to empty, and snaps easily back into place. The filter is very easy to remove and snap back into place.

Some other user reviews have stated that the Sweeper Vac does not pick up solid pieces of cat food, only crumbs. I do NOT understand this. Mine picks up both whole pieces of dry cat food AND crumbs. It picks up lint, cat litter and dust. It gets all the cat hair and "dust bunnies" with no problem. That's all I wanted or expected it to do, and it does all of those things quickly and easily.

Replacement filters are available at Target, and at several sites online. Two cloths are included in the Starter Kit. The Swiffer cloths are available at grocery stores, discount stores, and online. Target and Walmart both carry them.

I think if used as intended this is an excellent floor cleaner. I'm very happy with mine.

Link to User Manual: [...]

you don't have to buy new filters!!!
you don't have to buy new filters, just use the housekeeper equipment from your regular vacuum to clean the filter; i use the crevice tool.

i have had my swiffer sweeper for over a year now with no problems. since the charge does not last long (i get maybe 10 to 15 minutes) in order to finish all my floors, i leave the swiffer turned off, flip up the sweeper head and move all the dirt into one place and then sweep up the dirt and go around the baseboards and do the same for the rest of the rooms.

so, why buy this when it would be cheaper to buy the plain swiffer sweeper, the one without the vacuum? let me just say every day dry kitchen spills; coffee grinds, the dog knocked over the garbage, the kids crushed oyster crackers all over the floor, no dust pan. by the way, this is really good for broken light bulbs and glass on the kitchen floor; when i used a regular broom there would still be glass slivers in the floor weeks later. it only takes a couple of minutes to clean up the above mess.

How Harmful Are Household Cleaners?

2008-09-08T01:03:00.000-07:00

With the use of household cleaning products in homes, schools, and office buildings around the world, these cleaning products are finally being exposed for their risks to our health. Many people are still purchasing these products which are expensive and pose huge health risks to their families. Household cleaning products are an area where we can exercise some choice over the degree of toxicity we expose ourselves and our families.

Many of the disinfectant ingredients found in most household cleaning products are highly toxic. Some chemicals contained in cleaning products are found in those used in industrial settings, with some actually classified as hazardous waste. These household cleaners may be responsible for poisoning our children and polluting our air. With more than 32 million pounds of toxic household cleaning products that are poured down the drain each day, damage to our precious ground water systems are put in danger. This threatens the health of our future generations. There are many chemicals found in ordinary cleaning products that are harmful to your health and which may also cause cancer.

There are many chemicals in household cleaners that are toxic. Chemicals in cleaning products are among the most toxic compounds found in the home. Some of the chemicals found in these cleaners include, phosphates, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite (bleach), phosphoric acid, toluene, tetrachloroethylene, and xylene. Our homes have been made into small chemical factories by the use of detergents, degreasers, stain removers and glass cleaners. Everyday house cleaners may be responsible for allergies, asthma, headaches, chest pains, dizziness, eye and skin irritations, birth defects, fatigue, depression and cancer. Some of these chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and can be extremely caustic and harmful if ingested.

There are many all natural, non-toxic, non-polluting household cleaning product alternatives now available. These cleaning products are non-toxic and earth friendly. Green cleaning products are non-toxic and provide for a safer home environment, a healthy family, an eco-safe and cleaner planet. Green cleaners can cost more than conventional household cleaners, but they are often more concentrated, giving you more cleaner for your money.

Public demand for green products and recognition of the hazards of many chemical ingredients in cleaners are leading more companies to manufacture less toxic cleaning products. To live green and healthy, switching to non-toxic cleaners and planet friendly products is a quick and easy way to start. With these products available to us there is no need to expose ourselves, our children and our planet to harmful cleaning chemicals. Green products keep the poisons of conventional household cleaners out of your home and your families lives.
