Method Antibac Cleaners (Review & Giveaway)

Just in time to allow you to prep for holiday guests (as well combats the icky flu and cold season) comes a new botanical antibacterial home cleaning product by Method.  The best part?  This Method Antibac kills germs without using bleach or triclosan.

Method has partnered with CleanWell Company, makers of the thyme-based disinfecting technology, to create a patented botanical formula that kills 99.99 percent of household bacteria including E.coli, salmonella enterica, influenza A and H1N1 virus on hard, non-porous surfaces.

I was sent 3 of these botanical cleaners (Method antibacterial kitchen cleaning spray in lemon verbena, Method antibacterial bathroom cleaning spray in spearmint, & Method all purpose cleaning and disinfecting wipes in lemon verbena) for review as part of the Mom Go Green Blog Tours.

While I can't scientifically test my home to see if it really killed 99.99 percent of household germs on the hard, non-porous surfaces; I can say it seemed to do a really nice job of cleaning things up and it smelled wonderful doing so.  As a mommy of 5 kids, I'm all for wiping out dirty and bringing on the good smells.  I can also confirm it made me feel better as a mom to know I was using a product that utilized botanical ingredients instead of harsh chemicals.

Where to buy?  The Method Antibac line is available at national retailers like Target, Lowe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond and Whole Foods as well as at many local grocery and drug stores.

Want more info?  There will be a Twitter party on November 17th from 10pm-11pm EST, facilitated by @thesmartmama using the hashtag #ecowed.
