Seventh Generation Giveaway

I have blogged a lot about our family's switching from processed foods to a more whole foods approach, and about purchasing more and more organic meats, dairy, and produce as our budget will allow. All of this is because of an increased concern I have for our health and the heath of the world around us. It is spring cleaning time in our house (well its almost "summer cleaning"..we are a little behind schedule) and in the process I have really searched for ways to make the process healthier and greener. We are clearing out the clutter and cleaning in all those places where stuff just loves to hide! I have been researching greener cleaning methods for a few months, and trying out a few, some I like and some I don't, I will share what I have learned in a followup post. One thing I know for me and my house is I need/want to use commercial cleaners sometimes.

For example: I like knowing my kitchen counter is disinfected after I cooked with chicken! And even though I know others enjoy it, I don't want to make my own soap/laundry detergent, etc! So what is a girl who is trying to do the green thing but needs a few commercial cleaning products to do? Well I researched that and I came across Seventh Generation.

Here is their stated mission:
"From the very beginning, we've pushed to have a real impact on our competitors, suppliers, communities, and government. Products may be the vehicle, but far-reaching, genuine change is the mission."

You can read all of their goals here.


I was really impressed with Seventh Generation, so I contacted them about the possibility of a review/giveaway. They generously sent me their Free and Clear Starter Kit pictured above for review. It includes:
Disinfecting Multi-Surface Spray
Disinfecting Bathroom Spray
Disinfecting Wipes - 35 ct.
( The Disinfectants have Thymol sent (from Thyme oil). These are NOT considered free & clear, but they are great for immune-depressed households or those with small children)
Free and Clear Laundry Detergent –32 oz
Free and Clear Liquid Fabric Softener – 40 oz
Free and Clear Dish liquid
Free and Clear All- Purpose Cleaner
Free and Clear Auto-Dish Pacs
Glass Cleaner
Natural Paper Towels
Seventh Gen Recycled Bag

Plus Seventh Generation has generously offered to send one lucky Thrifty Jenny reader a Free and Clear Starter Kit of their own including all of the items above!

I have been reviewing each of the products and I think they really deserve some space of their own so I will post my reviews separately throughout the giveaway!
