Before I learned more about IE I had learned some very good need to knows about house hold cleaning products. I have tried to switch over to the eco and family friendly products out there.
You know how when you eat certain foods they make you feel a certain way?
Got a headache? is your dishwasher on or did you just clean your bathroom or do your laundry?
Most in store products have a lot of useless chemicals in them that are harming our home environment. I learned that it can take 3 days for chemicals to air out of your home. So if your using them daily when does it have time to air out? Also chemicals all linger below your knees. Who's breathing in that air? Your kids and pet oh ya and when your sleeping your then breathing in from that area as well.
I used to be part of Melaleuca they have great products and you can build your own business or even sign up to get a discounted member price, you don't have to be a member and pay the listed price. Also I have been finding other products that a good prices and you can buy them bulk on amazon. I have also noticed Target's have expanded their eco products and are at a good price as well.
I thought I would just put this out there for people to learn a bit of what I have. Since I have switched over to these products I love them and there has been a couple of times where I ran out and used some of the other brand again and noticed the effects and never really put it to the products.
Like the fabric softener I used to use makes my nose itch and makes me sneeze, when I thought about it I used to do that all the time just never realized it was that until I had switch I always just thought it was allergies or dust just didn't know it was that.
Also I was getting head aches when cleaning my bathrooms and the dish washing detergent gave me head aches.
Here are a list of the products that I have used and use. I haven't had any problems with them yet.
Melaleuca products:
I have used all the cleaning products and most of the personal care products.
Earth friendly products:
laundry detergent and dish soap (the dish soap was ok)
eco breeze fabric spray (it's like febreze only better!)
toilet cleaner
tub/bath cleaner
I have a spot remover just haven't used it yet
multi purpose clean works great
Clorox green works natural dish soap (I love it!)
Seventh Generation: I've only tried the dish washing detergent for the dishwasher and love it!
There are so many when you are looking for them like on Amazon some can be pricey but if you can find them in the store I think it is worth it.
I am still looking around to find the good deals. Like the seventh generation dish washing detergent was 3.79 at Target. Amazon has it as a 6pk for $24 something making like $4 something with free shipping. Where as Target isn't too far I think I would just do that, but they don't always have it in stock.
OK I think I'm done. Thought I'd spread this along.

Hey Jamie!
You are starting to sound like a California girl! ;)
I love using natural products in my home. I too, use Eco Breeze and you are right, it is way better than Fabreeze. I love the lavendar-mint scent. It's my favorite.
I switched to the organic-ecologically aware lifestyle years ago and let me tell you, it has made big improvements in my health. Some people think it's all a bunch of overrated nonsense, but I can attest that it is not.
I would never go back to the old way; not with chemical-laden foods or household cleaning products. I feel so much better not only physically, but it also feels nice to know that I am doing my part for the environment too. I really enjoyed this post.
