As a member of BzzAgent, I have the chance to take part in all kinds of fun promotions. What is “BzzAgent”, you ask? A word-of-mouth campaign company, BzzAgent provides members with new products to try out and share with others. You then have a chance to give your thoughts to companies and make your voice heard. And today I have the opportunity to review a new line of cleaning products and give them away to you!
About Nature’s Source
A new line of eco-friendly cleaning products from SC Johnson, Nature’s Source Natural Cleaners have reinvented old favorites like Scrubbing Bubbles and Windex with a decidedly “green” approach. Made with 99% natural ingredients, these products are packaged in recyclable bottles and do not contain bleach, ammonia, or phosphorous. Relying on ingredients like Corn-based ethanol and Xantham gum, SC Johnson says these envoirnmentally-minded cleaners will still cut through grease and grime effectively. But can they pass my microwave test?
My Verdict
The postman had perfect timing when he delivered my “BzzKit”. I already had cleaning on the agenda today, so I had the opportunity to test out these cleaners and see how they did. There are four different cleaners in this line: Nature’s Source Windex, Nature’s Source Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner, Nature’s Source Scrubbing Bubbles All-Purpose Cleaner, and Nature’s Source Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaner.
First up, I decided to give the natural Windex a try. I sprayed some on the window in my front door, because it was looking mucky.
The only difference I noticed was the smell – all of these cleaners have a very light, almost citrus scent, and don’t make you gag the way most cleaners do. My fiance walked by as I was cleaning and said, “Hey, it smells really good in here!”
Next, I picked up the bottle of bathroom cleaner and headed over to my bathtub. I sprayed it all over the tub and then wiped it down with a wet rag. See how shiny my bathtub is? What I loved was that I didn’t have to scrub and scrub to get the soap scum out; it wiped off quite easily.
After I finished wiping off the bathtub, I turned my attentions to the toilet cleaner. I was most excited about trying this one out, because I’ve been looking for a better way to clean my toilet. I usually just use bleach, because the toilet cleaners I’ve bought before have been kind of wimpy.
And now that the bathroom is clean, there is one final test: the microwave. I wanted to see if the All-Purpose cleaner could hack it on grease, and I figured the microwave would be the best way to determine that.
You know what? It worked just fine – I had no trouble wiping down the greasy remnants of a microwave explosion. All of the Nature’s Source products worked well for me – my home is sparkly clean, and I didn’t have to scrub endlessly or be knocked out by overwhelming fumes, so I’m happy with my experience.

Windex is one of my favorite products. So I would love to try the Nature’s Source Windex product knowing that it meets their quality standards!>>Did you ever see the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”? I’m not that crazy with my Windex but have used it for alot of different purposes 🙂
My favorite eco-friendly tip from the Nature’s Source site was to be a “Peanut Farmer” and to use packing peanuts in your planters. Clever idea! Win, win, win situation.>>Thanks for interesting reviews!>>mayacarpenter at verizon dot net

I would like to try the All Purpose Cleaner. I could use this in almost every room and this would be the one that I would use the most. I am trying to slowly make the switch from all of my chemically-laden cleaners to the green kind. I don’t have the money to replace everything at once. These products are in keeping with my new awareness.>Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
I am now working on doing my part to help the environment by bringing my own bags when I shop. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

My favorite eco tip from their page:>> Bring your own bags 01-23-2009>>Next time you go grocery shopping, bring more than just your shopping list. Bring your own reusable bags, too. After all, paper and plastic bags just create more waste. Check with your local grocery store to see if they sell reusable bags. You can also find them for sale online.>>I love this because I’ve begin doing this, and I’m finding it incredibly convenient and easy. It’s a good way to be environmental without making any sacrifices.>>lucianalopez@hotmail.com
