Finding products that are good for your house, your nose, and the environment doesn't have to be a chore. 

We gave 40 CafeMom members an assortment of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day household cleaners and asked them to try it in their home. The biodegradable and phosphate-free cleaners are not only made of natural essential oils but they also make cleaning your home fresh, fun and fragrant!  

Tell us about your green living. How do you use environmentally-friendly products in your home?

Hi!  I'm Ticia from Pennsylvania and I'm a SAHM with a 5 year old dd.  This is what was included in the package that I received...

I was not aware of Mrs. Meyers  products prior to being selected for this influencer because the stores that I normally shop at do not carry them.  I was happy to see that Mrs. Meyers products are made with natural essential oils, are biodegrable and they aren't tested on aimals.  I have tested out all the products and really like them a lot.  I love the basil scent of the countertop spray and the honeysuckle hand soap.  I left the handsoap out on Easter and a few of my guests even commented on how great it smells!  My SO commented on how good the house smelled when he came in from work after I used the basil countertop spray.  It also leaves our counters looking nice and shiny.  I also love the geranium dish packs.  They do such a better job on cleaning our dishes than the brand we were previously using.  I may have to switch!  I like the bluebell laundry detergent.  It's nice to only have to use a small amount.  My only complaint is the design of the bottle.  It can be a little messy when pouring it into the little cup.  My SO did a load of laundry and got it all down the side of the bottle and all over the place.  Otherwise, we are really happy with these products!

I recently bought some of Meyer's products. The counter top cleaner with basil makes me want to clean the countertop more often. It smells so nice.

I have the basil liquid dish soap that I use which I like but I do not seem to find any different than the product I used to use. But I have to admit it smells really nice.

I have not tried any other products so far. But reading the reviews I might give a chance.

I use all environmentally friendly products from the wellness company I am with and I absolutely LOVE them! They are very concentrated so a little goes a long way and make my clothes and house smell so fresh :-)

 I received the same items as the other ladies.  Had a small issue with shipping but I was surprised to find the products in my local grocery store.  I will be purchasing a few of the products this weekend to use.  I love finding environmentally safe products.  Can't wait to try them!

I recieved my box of Mrs Meyers cleaning products about 2 weeks ago.

I was thrilled to see the laundry soap and the dryers sheets in there....since I was almost out of both.

I started trying out the products that night.  I was cleaning my bathroom with my regular Clorox spray when I decided to give the counter cleaner a shot.  And man, did it surprise me.  Not only did my counters/toilet/bath tub look cleaner, but it felt smoother (with the bleach, it felt rougher) and it looked brighter.  Plus the basil smell wasn't that bad either.

The next day, I tried out the laundry detergent/dryer sheets.  My clothes felt softer and cleaner and they smelled fantastic (like bluebell and lavander).  I haven't tried out the other products because I still have fabric softener/dishwasher soap and dish soap.  But they are definetly going to be used.

So thank you Cafemom and Mrs Myer's for introducing me to a product that is all natural and works!!!

I was so excited that I got picked to do the Mrs Meyers influencer, I rather make my own cleaners, but I was very open to trying these products, I have used the dish washer detergent in the pass, I would say I like the products they worked ok, I really like the Basil countertop spray the smell was awesome it wasn't to strong either, I can't say that I would purchase these items, because they are a little pricey and we are trying to save money, but if I have extra money in our budget, I would love to purchase the countertop spray,but vinegar and baking soda will always be my best friend, I did a couple of videos. since,I got the video influencer which I am so not a video person ..Thanks cafemom:)

I have used vinegar to clean counters in the kitchen, but my son hates the smell.  Baking soda worked really well on getting a stain off of my counter also.

I have used a steam floor cleaner that uses water only for the past 4 years.  Love it!!!
