As much as I strive to live green, the one area I have not totally been able to embrace is natural cleaning products.  I have not had very good results using some of the more environmentally friendlier options such as white vinegar and baking soda.  I have to work harder to clean my home with unsatisfactory results.

Arm & Hammer has come out with a line of Essentials products.  These are plant based cleaning formulas that are packaged to have less waste then their other green cleaning competitors.  It’s sold with a concentrated smaller bottle and an empty, refillable spray bottle.  It claims to have the same cleaning power as traditional cleaners while reducing the amount of waste.

Although I am still a bit skeptical on the strength of the cleaning capacity, I’m willing to test out the product to help reduce waste.
