As a Mommy of 5, I'm no stranger to cleaning products. I keep my cleaning supplies fully stocked for virtually any mess they might bring on. Worth noting is the fact that stocking the shelves has been a lot less of a space concern with an eco friendly line I've been testing by Green Irene. I started off with their Enzymatic Clean Starter Kit with a full set of all 6 Green Irene Enzyme Cleaners. The kit contains 6 empty sprayer bottles and 6 concentrate packets, one for each of their 6 types of cleansers.
There is one for the kitchen, one for bathrooms, one for mildew stains, one for stainless & glass, one for floors, and one for stain & odor elimination. The concentrated packets are mixed with water and added to the bottles for use. Once emptied, bottles are kept to be refilled with additional packets saving on packaging waste for the landfill.
The Green Irene cleaning products go beyond sustainable packaging efforts. They are said to be a safer way to clean around your family and friends too. This safer way to clean is attributed to their enzyme based formulas. I could go on for paragraphs telling you about the principles of enzymes, why they work, and why they are safer for you and your kids than all those chemical based cleaners.
However, you'd probably rather hear about how the products have performed. I'll start by saying I am impressed. I've been on cleaning overdrive with our kitchen revitalization project kicking up a good deal of debris around the home and I'm very happy with how these products perform. While I am weighing decisions on eco friendly countertops and reusing kitchen cabinets, it's nice to know I'll be able to use efficient green products to clean them.
