Seventh Generation sent over a variety of their cleaning products for me to test out as part of an “under the kitchen sink makeover” promotion and after using their products I have to say I am pleased with the quality and eco-friendliness of their products. I especially love the reusable bag that was sent with the products, because I am now trying to use these as much as possible instead of plastic shopping bags.  I sometimes forget, but I’m getting better. 

 

 Seventh Generation has a broad selection of green cleaning products… Carpet Spot & Stain Remover¸ Kitchen Cleaner, Natural All Purpose Cleaner, Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner, Shower Cleaner, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Tub & Tile Cleaner as well as laundry and dishwashing products. 

 

 

 Some further information for you…

 

More than 50% of human poison exposure victims are children younger than six years (American Association of Poison Control Centers) and with 63 hazardous chemical products in the average American household (Consumer Product Safety Commission), it’s no wonder that kids are coming into contact with harmful chemicals on a daily basis at home. 

 

According to a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive and commissioned by Seventh Generation, 70% of parents with kids under six years old store their household cleaning products/solutions under the sink, but 47% cannot name one ingredient in the cleaners that they are using and storing within reach of their children! 

 

Seventh Generation created Health eHome in collaboration with WebMD and Healthy Child Healthy World to provide a personalized educational platform that helps uncover potential dangers and hazards identified as “hot spots in a virtual home. The tool also has an expert blog that provides trusted information on creating a cleaner, greener lifestyle and parents can test the safety of their home by doing a “Health eHome Check,” where they can get personalized results and an action plan for their home.

 

 Plus some Seventh Generation Survey Findings…

 

Cleaning Your Home or Harboring Hidden Dangers?

 

More than half of U.S. adults (58%) don’t always check the labels of cleaning products to determine if they contain ingredients that are harmful to their health.

 

Nearly three in five adults (58%) clean their home by wiping the surfaces with a cleaning solution/product at least once per week, nearly half (47%) can’t name at least one ingredient in those cleaning products.

 

The majority of people (75%) store their household cleaning products/solutions under the sink, followed by 37% that store their products in the bathroom and 33% in the laundry room.

 

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of adults believe that companies are required to disclose all of the chemical ingredients contained in their products, which isn’t true.

 

While more than half of adults believe that household cleaning products (e.g., window cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, kitchen cleaner) cause substantial damage to the environment (53%) and think that if used daily products that contain dyes or fragrances can be harmful to their health (59%), only 21 percent of parents opt for cleaning products with natural ingredients.

 

 

Keeping the family safe from harm?

 

Parents with children under the age of six years clean their home by wiping the surfaces with a cleaning solution/product several times per week (33%) and 27% clean once per day or more, yet 67% inaccurately believe that companies are required to disclose all of the chemical ingredients contained in their products.

 

One third (33%) of parents believe the kitchen is potentially the most harmful area to their children, while some did not believe any room in their home is harmful to children (16%).

 

Surprisingly, 70 percent of adults with kids under the age of six years that live in their household store their household cleaning products/solutions under the sink.

 

Eighteen percent (18%) of parents have not taken steps to safeguard their family from toxic ingredients in some household cleaners.

 

For those parents who choose to safeguard, opening windows to release toxic fumes is the most popular, with 50% deferring to that method.

 

While 78% of parents admit that their children know where the cleaning products are stored in the house, only 32% acknowledge they always check the labels to determine if they contain ingredients that are harmful to their families’ health.

Time to make your plan of attack to score the best deals this week.  You’ll need the coupons from the Sunday inserts (preferably in twos for the best deals on BOGO sales). Buy extras and ask friends and family for any coupons they won’t be using. Any coupons you don’t use this week, save. (You may need them for a deal next week or the week after, etc.)  The more of each coupon you have, the more you can buy of that item at that great deal price and stock up (and less likely you are to pay full price for it in two weeks or so when you need more).

 

Check out the linked sites for the stores near you, make your list, and pull the matching coupons. The coupon matchups are pretty much done for you via these links, which saves you mucho time & effort!

COUPON CODES:

You must be registered & logged in for discounts to apply. Each of these codes cannot be used with any other offer (but does work with marked down items!).

 

WELCOME – $10 Off $30 purchase - Register & use this code at checkout (one time use only)

 

LCFRIEND – 25% Off entire purchase –

 

Assuming your purchase of $30 is of items averaging 50% off, here’s how it would break down:

Reg prices: $60 - Sale discounts: $30 - $10 coupon code = $20 (66% off!)

 

If you buy three sets of the wooden trains, it would look like this:

Reg prices: $120 – Sale discounts $90 - $10 coupon code = $20 (85% off!!)

* This comes out to $7 each for a really nice gift!

* The total will come out to 29.97 for all 3, so throw in a $2 Thomas to push you over $30.

 

I know this summer will be filled with kids’ birthday parties & baby showers and it is never too early to start buying & putting up for Christmas, so use these deals to save on purchases you’ll probably be making anyway!
