See how the old stove sparkles? If that shine makes you happy, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Lavender Scrub will make you very very happy. I’m usually a baking soda gal, but I thought I’d give this a try, not really expecting it to be much more effective than baking soda.
It’s actually a lot better. It smells lovely, but subtly so. The texture is very fine and non-abrasive and it gets the grease and dirt off with a minimum of elbow grease.
Unlike baking soda, it leaves very little residue and what it does leave behind is easily wiped off. Here’s a recent quote from our household: “it makes me want to scrub every surface in the kitchen.” Well, have at it, and don’t forget the bathroom. It’s environmentally clean. No chlorine. No nasty chemicals.
A little goes a long way, making it a bargain at about $5 each. I can’t wait to try their other products.
Mrs. Meyer’s is available at Whole Foods or your local natural foods market, on the Mrs. Meyer’s site and also on Five Limes, 3r Living
and Amazon.

I agree, and also highly reccomend the Lemon Verbena surface cleaner. It smells clean and fresh without giving away the you just scrubbed down the whole apartment. Not to mention it's gentle enough on almost all my furniture, post-dusting. I randomly found it at my local hardware store.
I am a recent Mrs. Meyer's convert. I bought the geranium countertop spray and found myself cleaning much more often. Now I refill that bottle with a tablespoon of the all-purpose cleaner concentrate and water. I like the toilet cleaner, too, and I am going to try the rest of the line. If I have to clean, I want to make it more pleasant and less toxic!
All my cleaning products are Mrs. Meyers - Geranium - my apartment smells wonderful whenever I use any of it and the geranium is truly fresh. Cliche as it might sound, these products give a sense of being in a garden. And they work.
The scrub is the best for expensive stainless steel pots. The best.
