All Natural "Green" Cleaning Products

In my efforts to make our diet and  home healthier, I discovered the importance of ridding our environment of harmful chemicals.  These toxins actually accumulate in your plasma and make you feel miserable.  I am the kind of person who has to see things to believe them, and I saw first hand through my own live blood analysis the effects of toxins in your plasma.

While we were renovating our rental house for our frugal adventure I spent A LOT of time at Menards.  Of course the deal seeker in me had me always making my way through the grocery and cleaning products aisles (probably why I spent way more time than I should have in the store!) to see if there was something I couldn't pass up.  It was there that I did find something that I couldn't pass up; all natural "green" cleaning products, made in the USA that were REALLY affordable, even without coupons!!

The company name is Resolution and is distributed through Menards.  They have TONS of products from laundry detergent to dish soaps.  There's a natural degreaser, window wash, tub & tile cleaner, and many more.  These are all plant based products that have no bleach, phosphates, harsh fumes or residues.  They are not tested on animals and are all totally biodegradable.  The list of ingredients includes things like purified water, natural plant based oils and organic salts, just to name a few.  Sounds great, right?  Sounds expensive, right?  WRONG!  The regular prices on these products are amazing!  A large 32 oz. bottle spray bottle of cleaners ranges from $1.50 to $3.00 each.  That's cheaper than the original price on many of the name brand toxic products out there, and almost cheaper than what you can get lots of those products for with coupons.  The great thing is that when Menards had them on sale it was even better!

I have tried a couple of these products already and I think they work great!  The one that I would NOT recommend is the dish soap.  It just doesn't hold any suds whatsoever, and a couple minutes into washing dishes you are left with a sink of just water.  Everything else so far passes with flying colors!  So, if you are looking for a very cost effective way to clean with less toxic chemicals, I highly recommend checking out Resolution products at Menards.  It's easy on your environment and your pocket book!

  1. I do not trust such products. They say they are all natural and harmless, but I do not believe it. I prefer using home-made cleaning solutions, made of vinegar, baking soda, water, lemon juice and other products like that. It is a lot safer and they clean as good as the store products.
