THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
Congrats to comment #2: "fdigsby"
While I was at BlogHer, I stopped by the Scotch-Brite Greener Clean Booth to share an eco-friendly cleaning tip (you can watch my Scotch-Brite Greener Clean Tip HERE - I'm around the 1:22 mark). In return, a tree will be planted by the American Forests in my honor. I was so impressed with their new line of products and am very excited to be able give you a brief review of my own experiences with them, and offer a giveaway so that one of you can test them out for yourself!
Scotch-Brite's Greener Clean line are made from Biodegradable products & renewable content (like Natural Fibers). Each Scotch-Brite Greener Clean product includes at least one of these benefits! Thus, they are not only helping you keep your environment clean (like your kitchen or living room), but also helping to keep the world and communal environment clean!!
For this review, I was sent a sampling from their full product line. I received Biodegradable Expanding Soft Sponges, Natural Fiber Non-Scratch Scour Pads, Natural Fiber Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, & Biodegradable Absorbent Sponges.
All of the products worked great, but I especially love the Non-Scratch Scouring Pad!! It is so gentle on my hands, but tough on grime -- just the way I like it! I'm happy to throw away my old steel wool!! I also really love the expanding soft sponges! They come flat, but expand once you submerge them in water. Since they are flat initially, though, you can cut them easily!
My toddler loves to help me clean, so I used a fun cookie cutter, traced the shape, and then cut out the sponge. We then watched as it expanded to a full sponge in water! She loves it!! This is such a great way to get kids excited about chores!! They're also great if you are interested in sponge painting specific shapes (I did this in high school with a frog cut out sponge). The possibilities are endless - and so easy to do since the sponge comes flat!!
As I said, all of the items worked great, and I love that they are good for the environment! Pair them with a little baking soda & vinegar, and you have a green-infused cleaning kit!! If you're interested in trying them out for yourself, you can find a location near you that carries the product line. Also, be sure to check out our green (and frugal) cleaning tips from The Savings Experiment!

Instead of using paper towels to clean up little hands after a meal or to wipe up a spill, I keep a pile of wash cloths in the kitchen. It is quick and simple and I don't feel bad about wasting paper towels:)
I like using the seventh generation products. They don't have that harsh chemical smell to them.

Instead of tossing out old clothes--we use them to clean our cars with--we cut them up, wash the wheels, motor and etc. :) Works Great!! :)

Sponges are known in the medical field to be a great breeding ground for germs, However keeping sponges germ free is very easy. Vinegar works great to kill germs and so does throwing the in the dishwasher along with your daily dirty dishes. When the dishes are clean so are the sponges. cmlink2u@gmail.com

I cut up Scott's worn out white t-shirts into cleaning and dust rags. They're washable and save a lot instead of using paper towels :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I use baking soda to clean the bathroom sink. I use an old spice bottle and fill it w/baking soda, keep the lid on it so it doesn't get all clumpy. I keep it in my closet then every day or two, I sprinkle baking soda on the faucet and sink and wipe w/a cloth. It helps make the fixtures and sink sparkle and shine. I also buy a huge bottle of peroxide and use it - first I clean with vinegar then wipe up then spray w/peroxide and wipe w/cloth. Not sure if it actually kills bacteria but I've heard that it does. Peroxide is also good to remove blood stains from your kids clothes if they get nose bleeds or booboos.

My friend made a memory quilt for her kids and used their old, stained baby clothes to fill the inner layer with, rather than throwing them in the trash. I can't wait to try this!

My way we are greener is to reuse as much as we can...shopping bags area used for trash can liners, newpaper is used for table covers or art projects, etc.

I clean with natural products (I used to clean with products that smelled so toxic). What a relief to not worry about my lungs being burned now. Would love to win these "green" products!

Don't forget that sometimes, all you need to clean up something is some hot water and a clean rag!
I use a steam mop to clean the floors instead of chemicals.

To clean the showerhead, I like to soak it in white vinegar, then scrub with an old toothbrush. Thanks!

My green cleaning tip is to use baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice instead of toxic chemicals. You can clear a slow drain with baking soda and vinegar (fizz!), and it'll get your sink shiny clean at the same time. :-)

My tip would be frugal and I think *greener* Don't run your dishwasher until you have a full load=) Save money on water & detergent and you'll also be using less water that if you did several smaller loads=)
Thanks so much for a great giveaway!
