Simple Green review and giveaway!!! CLOSED
One of today's biggest concerns is keeping our environment safe. For over 30 years simple green has kept our environment in mind by creating cleaning products that are non-toxic and biodegradable. Simple Green products are not only safe for your family and environment, but their products are made to to do their job at perfection. I got to put Simple Green to the test.
The Review:
Simple Green generously sent me a large box of cleaning supplies. By looking through Simple Greens site you will be able to see how many eco-friendly products they have available for you. My biggest worry before trying any cleaning product is how well they will work. It seems many cleaning products leave streaks or have very strong smells. I was relieved to see that the multi-surface cleaner cleaned wonderfully. I actually felt it cleaned better then my other multi-cleaner product. It took all water marks off of my granite and I honestly loved the smell. by the way, I had the (lemon verbena) scent. It smells fresh and more natural then other products I have used. Another product I have used often is the dish washing liquid, which cleans my pots and pans very well. The smell was maybe a little stronger then most dish soaps, which is probably my only complaint.
The other product I was actually thinking I wouldn't use in time for the review, but did twice, was the carpet cleaner. As a mom, we are constantly cleaning spells and stains left behind from our kids. I try hard to keep those stains off of my carpet, but this last week things didn't go too well. My little girl who has entered into the terrible two's snuck juice into the living room and emptied it all over the carpet. She also covered herself in juice, which put me to bathing duty and my husband to getting those stains out of the carpet. As I ran her to the tub, I yelled to my husband to use the Simple Green carpet cleaner. When I came out to check on the results I couldn't even tell where the spill was (except for where it needed to dry). Now that it's all dried you can't even see a mark. My husband was pleased with the results as well.
Overall I was very happy with Simple Green products. They clean as well if not better then other cleaners. Best of all I love how none of their products use ammonia or bleach, which sometimes over powers a fresh smell. Most importantly has to be Simply Greens focus of being environmental friendly. Several of their products have receiving the Green Seal Certification. The Green Seal certifies that Simple Green Naturals products have met product-specific performance requirements (i.e., they actually must work!), product-specific health and environmental requirements. You can read more on this under Simple Greens "press release" tab.

In 1989, Bruce FaBrizio and Simple Green founded the EGBAR® Foundation. EGBAR is an acronym for Everything's Gonna Be All Right. The foundation is funded by a percentage of Simple Green sales, which goes toward a national education curriculum that teaches children about the environment and how to care for it.

I like Simple Green products because their cleaners work just as well as less "green" products, but are better for the environment. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love that they are so environmental friendly. Thankyou for the contest! :)
We get so many reactions to the stuff they add to regular cleaning products that it is nice to find products that are "friendlier"
I like Simple Green's decades long commitment to green products. Pretty impressive.
I love that using their products makes your home safer for your children.

I was always concerned about chemicals as far back as when I was pregnant 22 years ago. People used to laugh at my concerns, then I had an autistic child. I used to run from the microwave after I turned it on while I was pregnant etc. Now you hear things about that too. So I guess I wasn't so crazy just ahead of the way people thought. Simple green is a great thing for people these days. It is safe from those harsh chemicals. I wish I had this back when.
They are biodegradable and work really well. paulajomyers@yahoo.com
I like that they are eco-friendly.

I like that Simple Green Naturals provides their ingredient list: chicory, coconut, corn, palm, naturally occurring minerals, salt and sugar, and water. Nothing else. You can't get greener than 100% natural.

I'm impressed they've been around for 30 years! Their grill cleaner looks appealing. My grill needs some cleaning!
my husband and I are currently building a earth-bermed passive solar house. We hope to use the sun, our spring, and stream for water, heat and electric. Just using what's available in nature!
I like that not only do they produce a non-toxic cleaner for cleaner that it sounds like really works!! But also that they do quite a bit of community work which is admirable.
Thanks.

Our family does quite a bit for the environment. We recycle all we can. We try to not use disposable items but instead use reusable items. And we also participate once or twice a year in some sort of community project such as cleaning the river banks, or planting trees, etc.
Thanks.

I like that they have cleaning ideas for some hard to clean areas (like car engines!) on their website. Gives youideas of how to use their products.
(the spray, BTW, works well with washing soda as a laundry detergent!)
I like that Simple Green Products are enviromentally friendly. I wished they carried these products in all stores though. It is hard to find them unless I'm at Home Depot.

Being able to use natural products and eco friendly.
I love that they have a cleaner for just about everything. Deck cleaners? Driveway cleaners? Nothing in my house will ever go filthy again!
To help the environment, I have been using products that I would have normally just thrown away as supplies for arts and crafts. It saves money and helps the environment.

I like that a percentage of profits go towards environmental education.
I'm glad to see that in addition to household products, they also have a line of industrial cleaners, which means private workplaces and public spaces can be as green and clean as our own homes.
i think it's very cool that they participate in neighborhood cleanups.

I love their website! it is very clear and easy to navigate, and they give useful and descriptive information about their products. Plus they give other extra informations, like cleaning tips!
I like it that Simple Green offers outdoor cleaning products as well, such as the Simple Green Deck & Fence Cleaner. I could use that for sure.
I like that these products are safe to use around kids and pets and that they come in a variety of scents.
I love the idea of being able to clean my house with natural products.

I try to recycle & reuse as many products as I can. I also share with others and try to pick up litter! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
I like that the Simply Green Products are non-toxic and biodegradable making them good to use around family and also good for the environment.
We're buying a new house and it has to be scrubbed from top to bottom so I would love to win!
They seem to be concerned for both the environment and the communities within the environment! Neighborhood clean-ups, and the products are eco-friendly.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the giveaway...
One of the best features of Simple Green is that it is readily decomposed by naturally occurring microorganisms i.e. it is biodegradable; also it is non toxic to grass, landscaping, etc. so if you are using it to clean something in your yard or driveway, you don't have to worry about splashing it on the plants...in fact you can dispose of any extra SG / water solution by just dumping it on your lawn !!!

I use simple green but it would be nice to win some free products. I like the fact tha Simple Green is safe to use anywhere and it works!! I have had good luck cleaning everything even the spills on my carpet.
I love that they offer industrial products as well, such as the Simple Green d Pro 3 One step germicidal cleaner and deodorant. As a student nurse, I know the importance of a good product to help fight off the spread of such things as Staph, E Coli, and HIV to name a few. All with being nontoxic and pleasant smelling. Great line.
I love how they did the product comparison so that you can see the benefits so easily.

When used according to directions, Simple Green is septic safe. It will not affect the good bacteria or enzymes that keep a septic system free flowing. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
I am now working on doing my part to help the environment by using reusable grocery bags, use greener cleaning products, recycle and compost and try to conserve gas by driving much less. We have a front loader washing machine and we never use the dry cycle on the dishwasher. Thank you for the chance to win!
I like their neighborhood clean-up program.
I would love to try the carpet cleaner. As a mom, I really don't want my kids rolling around on chemically cleaned carpet!

I knew Simple Green was good for the house, but didn't know they had automotive products as well. According to their website: Extreme Simple Green is a cleaning and degreasing product that is extremely powerful, but doesn't harm the high-end surfaces found on motorcycles, aircraft, ATVs, sports cars, race cars, RVs, watercraft, bicycles, and more!
I have quite a few of the canvas shopping bags to cut down on plastic bags.
I love natural products~They are the best!!

We are trying to be green at my house. We have started off by recycling more. My 6 year old son LOVES this ("I want to save the earth mom" he says). I was like you, not sure if this stuff cleans as well as other products, so I have been hesitant in trying it. My favorite part is that the products are green, plain and simple.
