Promising Review: "I was a little hesitant in purchasing this due to the price but soooo glad that I did. It REALLY cleans windows, glass, and stainless steel amazingly well! The bottle is quite large, so it should last quite a while. Highly recommend if you want your house to look clean without any harsh chemicals or odors!" —Shopaholic

Promising Review: "I love this cleaner. I usually clean my stove with baking soda and dish liquid, but it can't compare to this. This really scrubs it clean, and breaks down any grease. I also have a pair of sneakers that are white, and the rubber on them would pick up every black mark in just one outing. So, I took some of this, an old toothbrush, and scrubbed. I couldn't believe all the dirt that dissolved as I was scrubbing. They stay clean much, much longer. I also use it to clean the bathtub. Such a great cleaner! I love homemade cleaners, but this is one I'll purchase over and over." —7 days ago

Promising Review: "I love these things! I mostly use them to clean off my son's high chair tray and the kitchen counter. They clean and degrease really well and are soft. You don't need to wear gloves to use them. I don't mind the smell, I've used things with thyme before to clean and I think it smells pleasant. The only flaw is that it's hard to close the lid once you've pulled one out because they don't pull apart super easy. But that's a flaw I can live with." —Dini

Promising Review: "I could not get my dog to stop marking the same spot on the carpet. It was maddening. After using about a half a bottle of this on the spot, he completely stopped. Needless to say, it smells better in my apartment and that makes me not want to die." —Zack Horne

Promising Review: "I have hardwood floors throughout the first floor of my home, including in the kitchen and bathroom. I wanted something that would clean my floors but that I would feel comfortable with my kids sitting and playing on. I wanted something that would care for my floors and not smell like chemicals. I found it!!! This almond scent is amazing. It's sweet and warm and smells like you could have baked during the day instead of cleaning your floors. There is no residue, no streaks, nothing left but clean, smooth floors and an amazing scent. I use this and mop with a wide microfiber washable headed mop, not a traditional mop as no water is required and I don't want to scratch my floors with a rough-headed mop. I will not use anything but this product on my hardwood floors from now on! Simply incredible." —MEMamaof3

Promising Review: "This stuff is amazing! It removes shower/faucet/commode scale and deposits like nothing else I have ever used. If used for the right cleaning jobs, this is a product that will surpass your exectations and have you thinking of new applications, such as cleaning tools and equipment that have gained a little rust. It restored luster to old faucets that I had given up on ever looking decent again. As a retired PhD chemist, I am always interested in great home cleaning products and how they work. One active ingredient in Bar Keepers Friend is oxalic acid, an extremely strong chelating agent that I am familiar with from the laboratory. Without getting too technical, a chelating agent binds super strongly to metals (magnesium, calcium, iron, etc.). Since bathroom scale is mainly magnesium carbonate with some calcium carbonate, oxalic acid reacts with the scale, sucking out the metal and turning the carbonate to carbon dioxide (a gas), making the scale magically disappear. If you are interested, the chemical reaction for oxalic acid reacting with magnesium carbonate is HOOCCOOH + MgCO3 --> MgOOCCOO + CO2 + H2O. Similarly, rust is iron oxide, and the oxalic acid binds to the iron, breaking up the rust and making it disappear when rinsed away. Oxalic acid is a strong chemical, and the use of gloves is strongly advised, as well as not breathing it or getting it in your mouth or eyes. Cleaning precautions that you take with any strong cleaning product (i.e. bleach) are recommended for oxalic acid." —Dave Abbott

Promising Review: "I bought this because I was lazy and didn't feel like driving to Whole Foods and buying their $300 dishwashing, eco-friendly, grass free, free-range, no anti-biotics, no hormones, vegan, gluten free soap that my wife likes. Point is, this works great. I'm not a fan of washing dishes in the sink BEFORE then putting them in the washer — why would I bother doing that? That's wasteful. To prove my point, I left a small amount of smeared egg residue on some plates and then some salad remnants and salad dressing on a glass bowl. Filled up the machine completely and when it was done, the glass bowl looked brand new and the plates looked unused and have a reflection now, so I can see what a whipped and defeated being I've become." —Sunshine Daroga

Promising Review: "We have a small bathroom, which holds dangerously toxic odors for quite some time if no air freshener is used. My daughter happens to make the most toxic stink bombs around! Fortunately, I found this air freshener spray. While the bottle may look small, only one spray is needed to remove the deathly odors from the air. More than one spray and the scent is overpowering. The lemon verbana is a nice scent and lasts for quite a while." —Brenda L

Promising Review: "I was VERY surprised with this! I had an old dark stain for years on my tan carpet. I rented a carpet cleaner from The Home Depot, it didn't come out. I read the reviews on this and thought to give it a try. Now, it wasn't a pet stain but I have pets so I used it and the spot came out! These reviews were spot on!" —Faithfulbuyseller

Promising Review: "I actually didn't realize that this was eco-friendly and you were supposed to use far less, (I guess because it's concentrated), than the usual detergent until my hubby told me because he reads things and I don't. Anyway, it lasted a little longer since it's such a small bottle. You really only need to fill the cap about a quarter of the way to get a load clean. It smelled amazing too and I actually miss the smell. My son has had sensitivities to other detergents with scents in them but he was fine with this one." —Angela N.

Promising Review: "Finally, a bathroom cleaner that doesn't smell harsh or disgusting! This stuff works great and the smell is awesome. It works well on counters, toilets, showers, etc. I actually used this to scrub a stain on white carpet and it worked, too! Overall, a really nice product." —kristyrae21

Promising Review: "I highly recommend this lemongrass ginger hand soap. I am so grateful that Williams Sonoma's products are cruelty-free because this line of products is delightful. This is my favorite among their fragrances and I hope they continue to carry it." —straycity

Promising Review: "I thought for years my dishwasher sucked. It would leave glasses cloudy and you had to pre-wash everything before you put it in. Turns out, I just needed these! My dishes are clean and my glasses are sparkling! I now use my dishwasher multiple times a week. I have so much time on my hands, (which aren't constantly wrinkled from doing the dishes by hand all the time). There is a strong smell when you open the bag (soap) but no smell while the machine is running or on the dishes themselves." —Medora Jensen

Promising Review: "I had a comforter that was my shaggy dog's favorite item in the world! It was in his bed, (he loves his bed), but when he brought in a new pet skunk baby about a month ago I thought I would have to get rid of him, the bed, and his favorite blanket. So well, we have a skunk called Stinkie now. Long story short, mama or some other family member came inside to find the baby skunk and my dog's bed got a dose of skunk stink that almost made me want to tan his hide. Tomato juice didn't work, vinegar didn't work, peppermint and spearmint, cinnamon, all struck out. Luckily, this stuff worked. Now I must admit I did use about a cup of it on his bed and bedding but — everything is bright, shiny, and not stinky." –ParaMedicMom

Promising Review: "I'm not sure where I originally bought this product — or even if I did. But one day I found it sitting on my basement shelf and I had run out of my regular softener. I was reluctant to try it, but only because I'm slightly phobic of change in general. Even when I opened it and got a heavenly rush of its lavender bliss, I was still a little hesitant to throw it in the wash. But really, it was either that or forgo fabric softener, which I wasn't sure I could do. So I kind of closed my eyes and poured a little in. When I took my load out of the wash, I noticed that my clothes smelled lovely. The scent wasn't too strong or too faint. So far so good. But the real magic was when I took my clothes out of the dryer. They were seriously the softest they had ever been. I was, (and am), extremely impressed. I get a little excited taking my laundry out of the dryer now as lame as that might sound. And not to sound more lame but I honestly get anxiety thinking I may run out of this. As soon as I realized I was low I ordered myself some more because I'm not sure if they sell this locally, (and I'm positive I can't live without it)." —Khaleesi'sHandMaiden

Promising Review: "My laundry was so staticky, that it was driving me crazy. Socks would disappear only to be found stuck to a sweater in my closet. And I kept getting shocked when putting away laundry. But I avoided fabric softeners because they smell strong and their chemicals are bad for health and the environment. Then I found this on Amazon. I was skeptical, but thought I'd give it a try. It does have a scent, but it's very subtle and doesn't bother me with my scent allergies, (I'm also a nursing mom, so my nose is like a hound). Best of all, static is gone! No more crackling sounds while taking laundry out of the dryer. No more clothes stuck together, and no more getting little shocks while pulling apart stuck together laundry." —Teacher/Business Owner

Promising Review: "This cleaner is great! Smells fresh and cleans up all messes I've used it for so far! We have tried other 'natural' cleaners, that either don't work on most messes or smell horrible. I love the A rating on EWG.org also!!" —Shenae D.

Promising Review: "I'm just sorry I didn't discover this dish soap sooner. Because of undergoing heavy radiation treatments for breast cancer I developed severe skin problems on both hands — even plastic gloves caused irritation. So I started searching around on Amazon for a miracle product. I found this, read the reviews, and bought it. Not only is this soothing to my hands, but it suds wonderfully and the dishes are clean. Yes this dish soap is pricey, but the benefits to me are worth it." —Gail E. Holland

Promising Review: "I'm an endocrinologist and wash my hands probably 50+ times a day. Only recently did I give any consideration to the potential harm absorbing chemicals from my soaps could have on my health. Many additives in our daily lives can behave as hormone disrupters, including those found in soaps and fragrances. I just purchased this hand soap and am totally satisfied with it. I love the aroma it has. It is less drying but without leaving any lotion/oily substance on my skin. It's my new favorite and has been added to my Prime subscription." —Yancey

Promising Review: "Smells great, cleans: water film, scum, rust/mold, hair products — I'm sure other things I have not listed, as well. It has worked wonders on marble countertops in the bathroom, keeping them clean and polished. What I like best is that I can clean up a mess while my toddler is next to me because it's that safe of a product." —GreekCookie
