Dragonfly Organix Review and Giveaway- #DragonPL

525221_2771976073844_649610927_a

I was given a chance to review four items from Garden Guys.  I reviewed the Egg Wipes(you can read about them HERE), Odor Eliminator, Garden Neem, and All Purpose Cleaner.

Dragonfly Organix review items

I had reviewed the  egg wipes in a previous post(linked above) but do want to say that they make letting the kids help out by cleaning our free range farm fresh chicken eggs super easy and let me know that the eggs are clean!

The Odor Eliminator was put to the test on a couple of chairs that we purchased from someone that we'll call "the cat lady".  Oh yes, these chairs reeked of cats(didn't know it until we had already paid for them).  We needed more seating for our growing family and I really liked the chairs.  I had used Febreeze on these chairs.  I had made homemade sprays and used them on the chairs, nothing was working.  They would kill the odor for a few days, and then it was back.  I am now hooked on Dragonfly Organix Odor Eliminator because it does what it says!  It ELIMINATED the odor!  It's gone!  No more yucky cat smell.  It's been over a month since I sprayed the chairs down and no cat smell has come back.  We have a cat indoors who sleeps on top of our chairs and they don't even smell like her. . . . now the fur she leaves behind is a different story!

Next we tried out the All Purpose Cleaner.  I already have a favorite for in the bathroom that is chemical free so thought I'd try this one out in the kitchen.  I sprayed down the stove and let it set for about 10 minutes.  I should mention that my kids and husband had been helping me cook that day and the stove was extremely dirty.  Anyway, I sprayed it down and waited.  The stove was very easy to clean off and it came totally clean.  I did not have to scrub and scrub and scrub to get it clean!  Love not scrubbing!  We also used this to spray the dining room table to help make it easier for my kids to help by washing off the table.  Again it worked like a dream.

The last product I was able to review was the Garden Neem.  I have not had a chance to try this out yet as we still have not been able to plant outside and my inside plants and herb starts have not had any problems yet.  I'm looking forward to having a natural way to kill those pesky bugs though!  This is a chemical free insecticide/fungicide.

Green Carpet Cleaning -Sponsored Post

Last night we had a salesman from Kirby here.  He didn't seem to like the fact that we had no carpets to clean and was wanting to try his vacuum on our hardwood floors, that is until my husband mentioned we had a protective dog, and then he couldn't leave fast enough!

This made me think of carpets and cleaning.  We do have a few rugs.  I take my rugs outside and beat them out weekly.  We do have a small vacuum that I can use on those rugs and I normally just sprinkle baking soda on the rug and then vacuum that up to help keep the rugs clean and odor free.

When I was approached by Green Choice Carpets about posting on their carpet cleaning ny service I was a little leery because I really don't use carpets and have never used a carpet cleaning service.  But then I realized I'm a green cleaner.  I love using green ways and all natural chemical free ways to clean my house so why not my carpets too if I had them.  So this post is just to tell you a bit about Green Choice Carpets and what they do offer in the New York area.  If you're a reader in that area you might want to give them a closer look!

Green Choice Carpets offers like I said carpet cleaning services in the New York area.  You can read on their website what specific locations they are willing to go to.  I was more interested in how they cleaned carpets and what they used.  But they are not limited to carpet cleanings!  They also show on their website that they upholstery, rugs, rug repair(how awesome!), leather cleaning, mattress cleaning, and even air duct cleaning.  I know from personal experience that it is hard to find anyone willing to clean air ducts let alone do it in a green way so that your family won't get sick from the cleaning agents as much as from the ickies out of the ducts!

Now I'm curious on other green methods to clean carpets and rugs and may be doing some research soon on better ways to clean without all the harsh chemicals.  Make sure to check out the Green Choice Carpet website so that you can read about the harmful effects of some of the chemicals in standard dry cleaning and carpet cleaning.

I am being compensated for this post.  However, this post only contains my thoughts and opinions on a subject.
