I love this time of year, don’t you? The weather is perfect, you don’t need a coat yet, the leaves are changing colors…The only thing that really is NOT cool is that it is the start of cold and flu season. But I have the coolest products to share with you! Seventh Generation, makers of great natural cleaning products, has generously provided Have Sippy Will Travel with some really great products to try out!

These Green Cleaning Products are fab, you will love them. I brought some with me to the Preschool, and love that the kids can have snack RIGHT AFTER I clean off the table from project time. I hate the bleach-y products I normally have to use. They smell, they ruin clothes, and I don’t like the kids anywhere near them. But, the boss insists, so….but she was cool with my using the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface. YAY! We also used the disinfecting wipes pretty much everywhere….kids are germy little buggars, LOL. No awful smell, and I think it’s safer for the kids. You know I’d never let Little Man or Kamikaze eat on a just-bleached table! (I keep a special place mat for Little at school- NO WAY is he eating at those tables if they were just bleached!) No, that is not his place mat- that is the safely cleaned table, he doesn’t need it!

So, you know how much I love companies that care? Look at their Mission Statement- “In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”
The Great Law of the Iroquois gave Seventh Generation their name more than twenty years ago and it’s what continues to inspire them every single day. Well, not only does Seventh Generation clearly care about the environment, but they also have some really great projects they support, like this one- WAGES

“For more than 14 years, Women’s Action to Gain Economic Security (WAGES) has been building worker-owned, cooperatively-owned, eco-friendly, residential cleaning businesses in San Francisco, California. In 2009, WAGES and Seventh Generation together launched Home Green Home, WAGES’ 4th worker-owned cooperative. This unique social enterprise, serves the city of San Francisco, and is creating healthy, dignified jobs for women in an industry known for long hours and low pay.” (Read more HERE)

So, here is what we tried out, and loved! It is called the “Free and Clean Starter Kit”.

Free & Clear Starter Kit
-Disinfecting Multi-Surface
-Disinfecting Bathroom
-Disinfecting Wipes – 35 ct.
-Laundry Detergent – F&C 32 oz
-Liquid Fabric Softener – F&C 40 oz
-Dish liquid
-All- Purpose Cleaner
-Auto-Dish Pacs
-Glass Cleaner
-Natural Paper Towels
-Seventh Gen Recycled Bag
(Please note: The Disinfectants have Thymol scent (from Thyme oil). These are NOT considered free & clear, but they are great for immune-depressed households or those with small children, hence why I’ve included them here. The scent is essential oil – not synthetic – and dissipates quickly.)

We really loved everything. I have no complaints. I do like when laundry detergent has a nice smell to it- this is unscented- but that is where the green lover in me keeps getting kicked by the other, bad me, lol…
Seventh Generation has offered to give one winner the same kit- how cool is this?
