We have tried really hard over the last few years to lower our toxic burden. After realizing that Matthew can’t process the chemical junk his body is bombarded with, we started to question if any of us really could. Of course we came to the conclusion that no, we probably can’t get rid of this stuff very well, and more importantly our bodies shouldn’t have to try to get rid of all those untested chemicals we used to surround ourselves with. That made us start to look outside just what we ate and we began to really question those products we used to clean ourselves and our home. But we didn’t want to stop there, we became concerned with how the choices we were making were impacting the earth too.
That brings me to ecoStore. ecoStore, just like it’s name implies, is a store that is concerned with being ecofriendly. Their products are plant based, cruelty free, and highly biodegradable made from renewable resources.
I had the opportunity to try the ecoStore Plant Based Glass Cleaner. It contains water, glucosides (from simple glucose) and vinegar. That’s it. I used it on my horribly dirty porch windows. There had been a fire across the way and all the soot and ashes had blown right to these windows. They were in dire need of some washing. The ecoStore glass cleaner was easily up to the job. While I was out there I decided to try washing down our front porch rockers; trying to get them ready for summertime porch sitting. For this job I enlisted help from the ecoStore Citrus Based All Purpose Cleaner. It worked beautifully.
I was actually really excited to get a bottle of the ecoStore Clean and Gleam Toilet Cleaner. I hate to use the typical toilet bowl cleaner and am looking forward to using something less toxic.
The ecoStore Plant Based Hand Wash is right up my alley. I am sort of obsessed with hand wash. Don’t ask why, because I don’t know. I just sort of love a good hand wash. I like the way they smell and how clean I feel afterwards. I received the orange & patchouli and the rose & cardamon, with the rose & cardamon being my current favorite. I am keeping a bottle in the downstairs bathroom for daily use.
Lastly I am trying out their Naturally Active Pure Oxygen Whitener and the Laundry Liquid Super Concentrate. I have been wanting to try an oxygen whitener so I’m super excited to have a chance to use one I feel confident about. I was scared to try some of the other brands since I don’t really know what is in them. ecoStore and their beliefs make me feel a lot better about this as our choice.
I noticed several of the ecoStore products I received carried the Healthy Child Healthy World sticker.
These sound like some great products!

I’m just glad they worked so well for you! I always worry that the all-natural products won’t work the same but I love that these do and they don’t contain all that harmful junk!

I went non-toxic for a few years when my daughter was younger, but sort of fell back to the regular stuff for various reasons. Seems like the non-toxic stuff has come a long way over the past couple years though.

This sounds great! I can’t stand the smell of chemicals. Plus, they cause my allergies to go haywire, so I mostly use natural cleaning products, and more often than not they work just as good or better than traditional cleaning products.
