Works for Me Wednesday
Ok, I’m going to sound like a commercial here, but I found something I like and thought I’d share it.
I went to the grocery store today to get some cleaning supplies. I was out of my multi purpose cleaner. I spotted a bottle with the label Arm and Hammer Essentials that looked a bit odd. When picked it up, I was surprised because the bottle was empty. The only weight was a small container attached to the neck. I looked at it, front and back and saw that it was a refillable multi-surface cleaner. Arm and Hammer provided the concentrated cleaner and the spray bottle. You provided the water. According to the label, by doing it this way, you can save 25% on refills when you purchase just the little containers of concentrated cleaning solution. It’s a plant based cleaner, too, which I kind of like so my kids don’t inhale chemicals. I also like the idea of not filling up my kitchen garbage can with empty cleaning bottles. I thought what the heck and bought it. I’m a sucker for new stuff, what can I say.
Well, it cleans very well. I cleaned my bathroom mirror without any streaks. I also like how it shined up my kitchen sink. It smells great, too. So far I like it.

Um, were we separated at birth? I LOVE CLEANING PRODUCTS! And I’m going to try it – because well, I STINK at cleaning mirrors without streaks. I have no idea what I do, but it’s hard for me to clean a mirror without streaking. It is the Windex – I use the brand. Is it the paper towel? I have no idea. But hey, I’m gonna try that A & H stuff.

I’m going to try this…with having someone with Autism in the family (and kids in general and pets) I am always looking for cleaning products that are better for us and the environment. Thanks for sharing:)
