    There's no need to waste money on store-bought cleaners that are mostly water, when you can avoid harmful chemicals and save tons of packaging and natural resources by making your own, natural cleaners. With Eco-Me’s home kit, it couldn’t be easier. The kit provides simple step-by-step instructions and almost everything you need to get started - you just add baking soda, vinegar and olive oil.

    (To cut back even more cleaning waste, use paper towel replacements like Skoy and Mu cleaning cloths.)
Dimensions
Scrub cleanser: 3.5"H x 3.5"D volume: 16 oz
Wood polish: 11"H x 3"D volume: 32 fl oz (1 qt)
All-purpose cleaner: 11"H, 3"D volume: 32 fl oz (1 qt)
Microfiber cloth: 13"H x 13"W
All-natural scrub brush: 4.75"H x 2"W

Design and Functionality
Kit includes three reusable (& recyclable) containers, microfiber cloth, natural-bristle scrub brush, essential oil, stir stick and stuff sack. Reusable containers are labeled with simple step-by-step instructions with specific ingredients and measurements to help you create all-natural scrub, wood and all-purpose cleaners. You just have to provide three items that are likely already in your pantry: baking soda, vinegar and olive oil. The 100% natural essential oil (mix of tea trea, lavender, lemongrass and rosemary) is antiseptic and antibacterial, adding a fresh scent and extra cleaning power to the mix.

This is a great kit to get you started with do-it-yourself cleaners, taking the guesswork out of finding the right measurements and formulas. Cleaners are great for all kitchen cleaning, wood furniture, cabinets, floors, bathtubs, sinks, toilets and more. Pays for itself in about one use (even faster if you usually opt for pricey green cleaners).

A study by the Environmental Working Group found 457 chemicals released by common cleaning supplies. Read more in our newsroom.

I love the way this oil smells. I've purchased direct from the manufacturer before...but couldn't resist the price. I bought a set for the kitchen and each bathroom.

No More Harsh Chemicals

I really like the "natural" cleaning agents. I did have a bit of trouble figuring out how much of the essential mix to use...my "old" eyes don't see too well. I think it would be helpful to add how many drops to use as well as the measurement on the bottle. The kit won't replace all of my cleaning supplies; I have been unable to clean stains in my porcelain kitchen sink with any of the mixtures. I plan to buy a set for my daughter and my daughter-in-law.

Don't pay full price for this item... I got it on sale and it is pretty good... bottles aren't that great of quality, but I love the simplicity of measuring out the ingredients and like the essential oil that is included. Not worth the full price.... much better off buying the bottle yourself and researching the proper measurements.

Gets you motivated

IT's true. THis is not the most exciting sell ever but it's what I needed to get myself going to stop using those horrendous chemical cleaners. They give you the 'recipe' for several cleaners. After some online research I will also be converting to eco happy dish soap, shampoo, and natural bar hand soap. Since it is on sale I recommend buying it now. It is not a steal if you pay full price.

I have never made my own cleaners before, but these are everything I had hoped. The cleaners work well on everything I have cleaned…which is everything in my house! I do admit the smell of vinegar takes some getting used to, but I do feel like everything is sanitary when I am done. I will buy more!

Not quite what I expected

I'm not sure what I expected, but when it came, I was like why did I buy this again? I haven't had a chance to use it, though, so I'll give this a neutral rating for now.

High quality but wildly overpriced

I bought this kit at the sale price and am glad I didn't pay full price. The bottles are of high quality, the essential oil is nice, the cloth is good - and the idea that anyone should pay almost $30 for some high-quality plastic bottles, some oil, and a cloth seems absurd to me. I've been buying from reusablebags for over a year now, and this is the only item that has ever seemed to be worth less than the price asked.

Very Clever

 

by Brandi W - 12/2009

This kit makes it very easy to make your own cleaning products with ingredients your probably already have on hand. The bottles included are high quality and I don't expect them to give out like those cheapy ones at home depot. And the best part - the 'recipes' are printed right on the containers so you won't have to keep track some random piece of paper.

Love it!

I just mixed up the cleaners today and I absolutely love them. The essential oils make the all purpose cleaner so much better than just using water and vinegar. The wood cleaner works wonderfully, it gives the wood a nice shine that I haven't found with any other product. The bottles the kit comes with are great and there is a way to reorder the essential oils. I am going to order a couple of these for Christmas presents.

LOVE this!!

I have spent lots of time and energy searching the internet for chemical free cleaners and am so glad I discovered this kit! I've been using plain baking soda to scrub the bathtub and used this scrub (and brush) for the first time today. I love it! Not only does it do a great job, it leaves a satisfying clean scent that I didn't get from baking soda alone. I already have an all-purpose cleaner recipe that I really like, but this kit has a much better bottle than I had. The only problem I see it that I will quickly run out of the essential oils, but I think I can re-create that.
