NO NASTY CHEMICALS GIVEAWAY!

EXTENDED UNTIL MIDNIGHT SUNDAY MARCH 22nd 2008 QUICK GET YOUR FRIENDS TO ENTER TOO!

The lovely people at ecostore USA were kind enough to send me some of their products to try out. They were also kind enough to then offer one of my loyal subjects readers a $25 gift card to purchase some of these fine GREEN cleaning products. 

Now, I am not one to normally seek out green products at the store, most of them have that major label on them that is in fact just a subdivision of a petroleum manufacturer anyway and I already give them enough money at the gas pump. Finally on those rare occasions when I have been lucky enough to find a product that truly is green it more often than not smells like some filthy mix of dirt, garbage and patchouli, swirled together with some of the port a potty residue. Or as I like to call it "Eau de Wood Stock"

The ecostore products did not stink, and in fact the dishwasher powder and rinse aid work better than that big name brand, for less money. The rinse aid also smells like lemons, and does not come in the same shade of blue that my grandma uses to color he toilet bowls. Not only does it work on the dishes, even the inside of my dishwasher that was stained from the minerals in our ever so hard Washington water is a lovely shade of white I haven't seen since it was installed!

The toilet bowl cleaner is also nice, although for some reason I think it smells like pee - which is probably just the chlorophyll which I am really sensitive to.  (Of course everyone I know would probably tell you that I think EVERYTHING smells like pee.) But it did clean those bowls without using a lot of elbow grease...oh, who am I trying to kid? I squirted in the bowl, got a phone call, then called away to do something and forgot about it. Two hours later and the toilet was SPARKLING clean!

To win the gift card, pop over to ecostoreUSA and tell me what you absolutely cannot live without and why. And none of this sappy stuff, I want to hear something good, like "I am sure that it will get those blood stains out of Aunt Mabel's shirt from that time at the Piggly Wiggly when there was a fight over pork chops." Also I really need to add some stuff to my cart for when I buy the laundry detergent, because just buying the detergent is lame. 

Now the "Legal" mumbo jumbo, you must be a US resident. You must leave your name and some way to contact you other than carrier pigeon, because mine just died. You must also leave your comment no later than midnight on Friday March 20th 2009. Also, just because I said so if you win you will have to tell me what you bought and if it rocked or not. 

**If you are one of my awesome friends from "Down Under" please don't worry, ECOSTORE started in New Zealand, so you can have stuff shuttled over to you on a scary fish of some sort, just don't use dingos I hear they eat people!
