Clean!





There are so many I could put into this list, some much easier to find than others depending upon where you shop. I think that parents seem to be creating more and more of a demand for non-chemical products when it comes to their homes and kids, and just over the past couple of years there have been more and more products popping up in the markets. Of course there are detergents and cleaners liike Seventh Generation, Ecover and Mrs. Meyers that are more widely available to many consumers who go to places like Whole Foods and their local Co-op. As for soaps, lotions etc many companies like Burt's Bees and EarthMamAngelBaby make nice products for both mom and baby. California Baby has many good options and has the added benefit of the "leaping bunny" label, so if you take a stand on animal testing, that might be a good one for you. There are so many porducts these days that are becoming less and less difficult to find, it's becoming downright easy to be an "Ecomama" these days... well, maybe we aren't quite there yet, but it's coming along nicely. And I have to say, sometimes the easiest solutions are right under our noses, requiring the least expense and cost of all... I have really discovered this year that baking soda and vinegar mied up makes a better cleaner than most anything else I have found! Crazy...
