Better Life: Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 155 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ susan!

I'm a health nut and clean freak. When I'm cleaning my house I want to be sure that what I'm using will not only clean well, but not harm the environment. Better Life is a company that has dedicated itself to making our planet healthy. They believe we deserve better cleaning products for ourselves and our family. Why the need for chemicals in our home? We spend a great deal of time inside. No one should have to use cleaners that pollute the air we breathe. Better Life was born to help us live better lives.

Here is a bit about the company from their website: "Our household cleaning products aren't just made for moms and dads; they’re also for Mom Earth. We want a safe place for our families to live in and a safe planet to live on. Better Life products can make that happen. Maybe it’s only a scrubber. Or just a nursery cleaner. Still, the wisdom is spot on: One person can make a difference. That’s how clean happens.
Their 2 am MIRACLE is just that - miraculous! "The nursery cleaner that works when you're popped. And your baby already has." I love this on my kids' toys. It works really well. This cleaner doesn't leave a nasty film, doesn't stink and leaves my children's toys looking and feeling great. Next I tried their I CAN SEE CLEARLY, WOW cleaner. "The window/glass cleaner that takes a lighter view of the world." I used to hate using window cleaner that smelled of chemicals. I no longer have to worry about that now. This fantastic cleaner is basically unscented. I can hardly smell a thing. It didn't streak and left my windows super clean. I love this stuff and didn't feel uneasy about touching the wet cloth with my bare hands.
Finally, I tried their whatEVER cleaner. "The all-purpose cleaner for this, that and especially those." It's wonderful and smelled really nice. It contains a sage and citrus scent. This is my favorite of the three and I used it on just about everything - tables, countertops, walls and floors. You can use this in the shower, in tubs and on toilets too.

Don't you love their clever names and witty product slogans? I sure do and I appreciate their playful nature. Do the right thing for your family and visit Better Life's website. You'll love their cleaning products and your family will thank you for it later. Better health starts here with Better Life.
