With a family of 4 (2 of which are young children), We have a lot of cleaning and disinfecting to do on a daily basis. I try to use as natural and earth/child/family friendly as possible. We do not have pets, but having something pet friendly is necessary for a lot of families. Chemicals with toxic fumes and abrasive, caustic substances are not healthy for anyone to breathe in or be around. About 3 years ago, I gave up nearly all checmial based products in the home. We are sulfate free and our shampoo, soaps and toothpastes are natural and completely safe. Household cleaners are all plant and essential oil based and without fumes. There is one product I still have yet to give up and that is our Clorox disinfectant wipes. (I know, they are really bad on the toxicity level). I am on the lookout for a better option. I do not use them daily, and try to mainly use a spray bottle of lavender, tea tree, and soap nut water for counters. The main problem is that my husband keeps buying them and using them.
For odor in the air and on fabrics or surfaces, I have been using orange essential oil based non aerosol spray called Pure Citrus Orange. I like it a lot, but it sells for around $4 for 7 ounces. It does not last very long, especially with us spraying so often when we have a messy diaper in the house or when I am in the laundry room washing our cloth diapers, and they are especially bad.
I was recently introduced to a eco friendly, family and animal safe/loving company called Skout's Honor (cute name and dog logo). They are mainly for dog/cat owners, but as we parent know, kids are messy too, especially when potty training. This company has created all-natural, professional strength products for (pet/kid) stain and odor problems. Skout’s Honor uses "BioKore" technology, which lifts and dissolve stains, not by covering up the odor, but by destroying odor on the molecular level.
This is an environmentally and socially responsible company. They care about the community and will work toward feeding an animal in need for one day with every Skout's Honor product sold on Amazon, their website or other website.
These sprays are safe and work. They use surfactants that quickly and easily eliminate any stain and odor on any surface. I have been testing out 4 of their sprays in every room of the house, and even our SUV. I love using Skout's Honor in the baby room next to the changing table and diaper pail. When puppies, or sick/older dogs, or babies/toddlers are potty training or prone to accidents, Skout's Honor is ready for effective use on rugs, carpets, upholstery, clothing, mattresses and other soft surfaces. They are not heavily fragranced, and do not mask odors. Instead they eliminate the odor and leave a light, and pleasant scent.
I like how they are lasting a long time, even with frequent, daily use. Each bottle is securely freshness sealed with a screw on lid and bonus spray nozzle. The bottles are a nice size and are reusable which makes this mommy happy.
You can learn more about the company by finding them on Facebook and Twitter.
These are available on Amazon. *I was sent 1 of each bottle for evaluation, no other compensation was accepted. This is my honest opinion on this selection of products and while I had a positive experience, I will only recommend items or products that I feel will truly benefit my family and readers.
