Thanks to Matchstick.ca I was able to test out the Clorox Green Works products. I was lucky to be 1 of 50 bloggers to help spread the word about Green Works. I have never been an advocate of green living, so I jumped at the chance to try something new.I received a sample kit with the Clorox® Green Works™ Natural Laundry Detergent and Clorox® Green Works™ Natural All-Purpose Cleaner. Plus samples and FPCs (Free Product Coupons).
From the site:
Clorox® is leveraging its world-class expertise in the household cleaning category to develop a new platform of natural cleaning products called Green Works. These products are made with at least 95% natural plant and mineral-based biodegradable cleaning ingredients and clean as well as many traditional cleaners on many soils. Green Works® products are a practical way for consumers to live a greener lifestyle without compromising performance.
All Green Works natural cleaners are made using plant-based ingredients derived from coconuts, as well as essential oils. The products are formulated using biodegradable ingredients, are packaged in bottles that can be recycled and not tested on animals.
In lab tests, Green Works hard surface cleaners clean as well as many traditional cleaners on many soils.
I decided to try out the laundry detergent first. With a baby in the house, stains are unavoidable. Our usual detergent manages to take out the stains, but so did Green Works. What I liked better about the Green Works laundry detergent is that there is no strong detergent smell when I open the bottle and when I finished the wash. I tried loads of dirty clothes without using any fabric softeners and they all came out smelling clean and fresh.
The Green Works laundry detergent are formulated to work on both standard top loading and HE front loading machines.
Next, I tested out the all-purpose cleaner. It can be used in your kitchen and wasroom; on counters, appliances, stainless steel, sealed granite, chrome, cook top hoods, sinks and toilets. It did cut through grease and stuck on dirt. It cleans really well, but again without the residue and artificial odours most cleaners have. That is good for me because when I am cleaning, I usually have to go away because the stong scents give me a headache.
All in all, I love the new line of Clorox Green Works products, and will continue to use them from now on.
Now on to the giveaway. I hope this will be a quick one. I still have 10 FPCs to give away. As these are Canadian coupons, this giveaway will be given to entrants with Canadian addresses. It will not have any deadline. It will go on until the last coupon is gone.
