I have the best cleaner on the planet. It is derived from plants and can be readily available to consumers worldwide. It is the Howard Huges of cleaners. I love seeing more and more people being more aware of the side offects associated with the use of chemicals. The future is what we make it. Best product ever…

Hi Chris,

Thank you and you are right on in your comment. Although I still try to look at each MLM product with as fresh eyes as possible and not judge them all the same, my view of MLM was increasingly tarnished since the writing of this article. It seemed that each product someone brought to my attention had some flaw, and was just not honest about its true merits. So today I tend to shy away from all things MLM. Yes, there is a place for them and you also stated such a great point that indeed there are companies with integrity…I just choose not to give my energy to them anymore for a few reasons.

Hi Evita, just come across your list and a very good one it is too. Can I just correct you on one thing though; you say you don’t include companies that use MLM (multi level marketing). Actually you do. Both JR Watkins and Shaklee are MLM companies, and fine companies too. Just goes to show, MLM is not so bad, as long as the company does it the right way!
Great article.

Hi Francis,

Thank you for sharing about those two. I personally have not heard about them before, as today aside from water, soap, baking soda, Greener Choice dish soap and the Universal Stone, I find I don’t need any other cleaning products.

Hi Dave

Thank you that is a great helpful link, as I myself am going to be getting in gardening myself this season and starting to grow my own veggies and more!

Hi Evita,
Thanks for your post. This is for the gardening friends. Instead of using pesticides,funguscides and insecticides look up Jerry Baker’s tips and tonics. He uses safe ordinary house hold items like vinegar, garlic and baking soda for the garden that actually work.

Hi Evita, Thanks for your reply. Thats to bad you do not promote Melaleuca’s system of selling. I think thier method is genius and supports the little guys. I much rather put money back into my friends and families pockets then the pockets of big corporate execs that are more concerned over profit than quality. Seventh Generation is one of the products that I found did not work well for me. I have not tried the Greener Choice but I am hooked on Melaleuca. I haven’t found anything that work as exceptional. Customers of Melaleuca have access to all the ingredients as well as the scientist, chemists, etc that developed the products who will tell you where the ingredients are derived from and what thier purpose is in the products. I like that! I can call a number and get every bit of information I need about the products I use. I think its great though that you have this information for people because you and I both know that we need to get the word out there that household cleaning products are harmful to our health.
take care, Denise

Hi Denise

I am aware of Melaleuca and do not promote their system of selling. I have also checked out their ingredients and was not impressed. If something is great, it should be easily available to everyone, transparent and authentic.

While I cannot personally speak for every single product’s smell and efficiency here, I am super familiar with Seventh Generation and not only does it work extremely well, but they also have an unscented version to suit those who prefer things without fragrances. The same goes for Greener Choice – an outstanding product, especially when it is the unscented variety.

Hi Evita,

I have tried several of the companies products on your list but found either they didn’t work very well or they smelled bad or both. I am surprised that you have not listed Melaleuca as one of your top 10 unless you have not tried thier products. They are the best I have every used and I don’t believe thier is another product that can even compares.If you have not tried thier products I suggest that you do.
