Casa Beta: Method's Le Scrub
While I usually clean my bathroom (or, ahem, I should say, my husband cleans the bathroom) with vinegar, baking soda, and Bon Ami, I decided it was time for a switch. And to be completely honest, this switch was pressured by the hubz's complaints about the overwhelming vinegar smell in our small bathroom space during cleaning. And I agree, it's definitely a pungent scent.
Casa Verde: Method Potpourri Ornament
Method never ceases to impress me with its well-designed, eco-friendly products. I've been waiting to see what it had in store for us this holiday season and I'm charmed now that I have. Method's new Potpourri Ornament ($10) is a tin ornament filled with compostable wooden beads.
Get Kids Squeaky Green
Add some Method to your madness at bath-time. Bathing babe is a chore in itself, so no mama wants the added worry of toxins floating in their tub. Method's Squeaky Green line is chemical free so you can lather up your lil ones with the hair and body wash ($7) that is made from ingredients including rice milk and mallow.
Home Library: Squeaky Green
While Squeaky Green: The Method Guide to Detoxing Your Home ($16.95, Chronicle Books) won't be released until April 1, it's so perfect for this month's theme that I had to tell you about it.
Written by Method founders Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry, the book comes in a hardcover binder format, with seven organizational tabs for each section of your home, from living rooms to bedrooms to bathrooms to pets.The introduction, from green guru Danny Seo, notes that, "Method's cleaning products are nontoxic solutions that really work and smell great and the packaging is, well, sexy. Yes, sexy."
In The News: Method's Founders Dish the Dirt
Since I've been chatting with you this month about ways to clean green, I knew you'd also be interested in hearing from Method's co-founders Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry, who recently gave an in-depth interview to one of my favorite green websites, Grist. In the interview, they discuss their new book Squeaky Green, their newest product (toilet bowl cleaner!), and ways that Method has brought green cleaners into the mainstream.
One of my favorite answers in the interview is when Grist asks the duo what most surprised people about conventional cleaners; Ryan responds, "The light bulb goes off the most [with] things that seem so obvious but you never stop to think about it.
Your Favorite Cleaning Product
By an overwhelming majority, you chose Method as your favorite household cleaning product. Mrs. Meyers came in as a distant second, and a surprising number of you also mix up your own cleaning products. At my house, I use a mix of products, including homemade, Method, Mrs. Meyers, and I'm also test driving the new Clorox green products.
On Our Radar: Method's Plastic Bag Rehab
Now that the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" craze has died down, there's yet another eco-chic bag to take its place. Method's Plastic Bag Rehab is perfect for stashing your groceries or laundry. It's a bit brighter than Anya's but has a similar Boogie Nights-esque writing font.
