Change can be a good thing!


I was given an opportunity to try a product I had never used before, Green Works laundry detergent by Clorox. Personally one of the biggest factors for me with laundry detergent is the smell of it, so as soon as it arrived the first thing I did was open it up to see if I could tolerate the smell of it or not. I was extremely surprised at how fresh and clean the smell was! It isn't over powering and you can tell just from the smell of it how gentle Green Works really is. I love that it is environment friendly and actually works!
I first used the product on my clothes after giving birth to my second child and believe me after coming home from the hospital my clothes were desperate for a washing! Green Works lifted any stains I had on my clothes, cleaned and freshened them better than my old laundry detergent did. Since I was so impressed with how great of a job the product did on my clothes I decided to use it on my baby's clothes as well. Everyone knows that babies need soaps that are gentle on their delicate skin so why not use a soap that is made from natural plant based ingredients? You can really tell the strength of the product if it can clean a young child's clothes! The real benefit of using using Green Works on the baby's clothes is the fact that I don't need to do two separate loads of laundry. It is such a pain having to do a separate load of laundry using baby detergent  for 3 or 4 items and it cost more with water and so on! Now I don't have to worry about that and I can throw in my baby's sleepers, blankets or whatever with mine, that is convenience at its finest!

  1. I'll have to look for these products the next time I shop for detergents. It would be good to know that I'm using a less environmentally harmful product when doing the necessary job of laundry. Thanks for the "test drive" of these so I won't be wasting my time or money on detergents that don't work. I usually prefer to let someone else test it first and a new mother is always more discriminating.

  2. I like it- i like the smell-very fresh! As for stains, its not the best cleaner, but then again, baby stains aren't always the easiest to remove, even when i pre-treat it. But all in all i would say i would definately buy it!! Its expensive, but you know you're helping the enviroment out- and you don't need to use a lot of it! I look forward to seeing what they come up with next!!
