Natural Toy Cleaner – Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-Surface Cleaner

Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-Surface Cleaner

I wasn’t sure what natural toy cleaner I would purchase and always appreciated Target for their section of natural and plant derived cleaning products. I have used products such as Dr. Bronner, Seventh Generation & Method.

After reading the label’s front and back to decide what brand I would choose, I really liked Mrs. Meyer’s and decided on the multi-surface everyday cleaner. Soon, I found myself in much surprised aromatherapy bliss.  Quickly it made sense why the label reads “Aromatherapeutic household products, creating clean and happy homes since 2001”. I began twisting the caps and giving each bottle a sniff, I am not kidding when I say each scent was better than the next. Only one bottle was needed for the new lot of toys, how in the world could I decide?  Well why decide, I chose the top 3! (I am still dreaming of the geranium scent….next time)

Here are the scents that I purchased and how they are labeled:

• Radish Scent – Crisp Peppery Snap
• Lemon Verbena Scent– Light & Mild Citrus
• Basil Scent- Cool & Crisp

Now that the hard part is over, time to give the toys a deep cleaning!

I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of each toy and importantly a film or residue was not left behind. Of course, I was grateful to know my baby boy would not be smelling bleach or chemical’s throughout the house while I was carefully (& consciously) using the natural toy cleaner.

While writing this post I learned a bit about “thee Mrs. Meyer”  and she really seems to be quite the character, as a mother of nine she has a sensible approach to living a healthy balanced life.  Of course (with scents like THAAATT) she is a gardener and her famous quote is “Smells like a garden, cleans like the Dickens”.

Fun facts about the Mrs. Meyer brand:

• Smells great, garden inspired scents provide an aromatherapeutic experience while you clean
• Works great, third party testing proves that the products outperform other leading “green” brands.
• Focused on obtaining materials from renewable plant resources such as coconut, corn, soy or olive.
• Products do not contain chlorine, bleach, ammonia, petroleum distillates parabens, phosphates or phthalates.
• Does not test on animals

Once the toys where cleaned I had to try the natural cleaner on the countertops and in the bathroom. I was so impressed that I am considering trying other products such as the laundry soap and importantly the surface scrub (Comet works wonder, just too many chemicals). Needless to say, I see a future post with my thoughts on an assortment of Mrs. Meyer’s products.

As a mom it is very important to me to begin eliminating the use of common cleaners with simply, too many chemicals!
