How I love thee.

Most specifically, your shower scrub, which is not only friendly to the environment but also my hands, and smells pleasantly of eucalyptus (not the ammonia that other scrubs smell like). Take that, Scrubbing Bubbles. You are forever dead to me.

I went on a bath products/cleaning products shopping frenzy, and feel like I’m doing one of those consumer tests. I tried a Swiffer (both dry and wet, generic and Swiffer brand), the Method earth-friendly bath scrub (mint eucalyptus scent), and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day hand soap in Lavender scent. The Swiffer is great, but only if you use the Swiffer brand pad thingies (yes, I’m lazy and don’t like to empty mop water although that is the more ecologically-friendly option). The Method bath stuff has won me over totally, as have their air fresheners, hand soaps, and possibly everything else I haven’t even tried yet. The Clean Day hand soap is amazing. It smells like wonderful to start off with, and wears off to a faint Krispy Kreme scent which is utterly delightful. I think my husband thinks so, too. I mean, whose husband doesn’t want his wife to smell like donuts?

I will be trying the Method brand lazy person floor sweeper in the future, in the wood floor variety. I think it’s a biodegradable option (though the plastic stuff it’s packed in is probably not so biodegradable, but you never know).
