Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Basil Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Potty talk: I’m not a fan.
But what I am a fan of are cleaning products that make cleaning fun. Well…actually….fun is an exaggeration here; nothing about cleaning a bathroom is fun. It’s a chore. (Chore is a funny word, isn’t it?! Say it out loud a few times…chore….Chore….CHORE…..)
Wow, back to the point of all of this. . .
Increasingly, over the last decade or so, “natural” and “green” products have infiltrated the marketplace. Lots of “this is safer for you/your kids/your pets” being thrown at us, right? Well, I don’t know about you, but all of that marketing totally works on me! I’m easily convinced.
So I’ve gone out and bought a lot of these “safer, gentler” products. Some are great. But some are completely ineffective! Sometimes life calls for Clorox, darn it! When someone’s been sick, after a well-attended party at your place, or because you simply love the smell of a community pool: in these cases, by all means reach for bleach!
But for your everyday (or weekly, or bi-weekly, or monthly) toilet bowl cleaning, I say Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Toilet Bowl Cleaner – Basil scent – is the way to go!
The bottle has the narrow, angled spout, so crucial to under-rim cleaning! And I don’t have to scrub any harder or any different than I do with the “harsher,” more well-known products. For about $4.99, you get 32 fl oz of plant-based ingredients in a recyclable container. (You’re on your own for figuring out how many cleanings you’ll get for your dollar.) As for the scent, I vote for Basil because I like my bathroom to have that “Ah, it smells pleasant and fresh in here” kind of thing going on. It’s a little more universal than, say, strong florals. The subtle scent is casually drifting into my living room as I type this and it reinforces my enthusiasm for this stuff!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products are widely available these days. (I vouch for the Basil-scented toilet bowl cleaner, but they’ve got tons of other stuff to choose from.) Here’s a link to the company’s website: http://www.mrsmeyers.com/. In the top left-hand corner of the home page, you can enter your zip code for a quick list of stores in your area that carry the line.
Ok, we’re done here. Toilet time over.

ReplyDeleteI love Mrs. Meyers products. I'm especially fond of the Lemon Verbena scent. I'm glad local retailers are finally offering these products so I don't have to order online.
