When Ecostore USA contacted me to review a couple of their products, I jumped at the chance. Not only are they a Michigan-based company, but I am always looking for environmentally friendly products for the kitchen.
I’ve tried a few different brands in the past–especially for the dishwasher–and have been disappointed with them. My friend Katie at Kitchen Stewardship did a whole series of tests experimenting with various methods, including homemade detergents. While she liked BioKleen, it did not work for me. Then again, I hate to prewash so that might have something to do with it.
So, I was skeptical when I received this sample from Ecostore:
To my surprise and delight, it worked! I even used it a couple of days in a row just to be sure. I’m so glad I gave it a try. They also sent me some coconut soap (which I LOVED! It’s so weird but the eco friendly soaps seem to leave me feeling so much more clean) and cleaning paste which I haven’t used yet. I need to hire a cleaner one of these days.
Other eco friendly products that I currently use and love in my kitchen (and I didn’t receive any samples from them LOL):
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Counter Top Spray (I love the lavender scent)
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap
Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Pure Castile Soap
How about you? What eco friendly products have you tried?
Ecostore is originally a New Zealand company! I’m an American living in New Zealand, so its exciting to see a company doing well over in the US. I don’t have a dishwasher in my kitchen (sigh), so I’ve been using the Ecostore dishsoap for handwashing and I’m finding that the dishes are clean and my hands are a lot happier too (not dry and cracked anymore). It doesn’t really suds, but it still works.
I am glad to have come across this post. Thank you!
