I have a passion for only using products in my home that are non-toxic and eco-friendly. In fact, the first thing my family did when we decided we wanted to live a greener lifestyle – we ditched the toxic products. It is a simple step that has a huge impact on both the health of the environment and the health of my family. I have given you the health rundown of using green cleaners before here, but just to refresh, check this out:
- The air inside most homes is 2-5x more polluted than the air outside.
- Almost 70% of streams sampled in 2002 contained chemicals from household cleaning products.
- 10% of toxic exposures reported to the U.S. Poison Control Centers are related to cleaning products directly touching the skin or being ingested.
- Most conventional cleaning products come in non-recyclable containers.
Recently, I had the pleasure of being introduced to ecoSTORE. ecoSTORE is a New Zealand based company that offers plant-based and mineral-based household cleaning products, that are free of toxic chemicals and will help you reduce your carbon footprint. “No Nasty Chemicals” is the foundation that ecoSTORE is built on – doesn’t that just sum it up? Check out their ingredient list and you will find this is true.
I have reviewed some of ecoSTORE’s products and have been very impressed. I love that their products are ultra-concentrated, so you only have to use a little to do a big job and all of their packaging is 100% recyclable and compact. I am really enjoying the front loader laundry powder – which I was surprised works when using only a tiny amount. Also, the Lemongrass soap is amazing, the smell will win you over as well as it’s wonderful creamy feel.
Would you like to try some for yourself? ecoSTORE is offering ONE of my lovely readers a $25 gift card. They are also offering free shipping on all orders over $25 so this will be amazing giveaway.

Hi! Signed up for the contest and just needed to let you know which product on ecostore I would like to try. I think the Lemon Rinse Aid would be cool to try, as I have never seen an eco-friendly version of this household chemical ever!

Not sure if I should post this here too but…I would really like to try the Aloe Vera Shampoo! I simply love Aloe Vera. It does wonders!
I also wanted to make sure my entry to the contest was counted…I entered a few days ago but, didn’t leave a note with my favorite product in THIS space so–I was going to do that now:)
I loved the vanilla haircare products and the eco friendly spray cleaners. I have a tiny toddler whose mouth is on everything and I certainly don’t want her consuming toxins OR germs! And I don’t think I need to explain the haircare choice (vanilla PLUS organic?? I am THERE:P).
Thanks Sweet Nest!
