Product Review - Eco Store

I was recently contacted to review my choice of products from Eco Store USA. Yes, I did say "products" meaning they gave me the choice of not 1, but 2 of their products to try out. I decided to go with the Naturally Antibacterial Spray Cleaner & the Soothing Hypoallergenic Shampoo (for pets).

Here is a little information about the products sold by Eco Store USA from their website:

On to the products.....


Naturally Antibacterial Spray Cleaner

Eco Store USA has the following information about this product:

Ecomommas can go room to room with this product. Simple to use yet high performance, ecostore Lemon Spray Cleaner is the ideal alternative to conventional, toxic products. This citrus based solvent will work wonders on almost any household surface. Have black kitchen appliances?  We've been told via many testimonials that it is just awesome.  And, of course, if it’s an Ecostore product, it contains No nasty chemicals™.  For your health, for your family and for the planet. (17 fluid ounces)

I was so excited when the package came with my new products. I immediately opened the box and was ready to get to cleaning. I pulled out my new products to find that they were sealed with this very stretchy tape of some sort. It took a knife and 2 pairs of scissors before I was able to get enough off to open each bottle for use. At least the liquid had no chance of leaking before it's arrival.

I chose this spray because I cannot stand the scent of the product that we are currently using to clean our kitchen. It just plain stinks. According to the website, this is a citrus based solvent, so I was expecting it to have a nice clean citrusy smell. It didn't, but it still smells better than what we were using before.

I have a little bit of OCD when it comes to streaks. I cannot stand them on my appliances, fixtures, or even my counter tops. This spray does not leave streaks at all. Even my stainless steel appliances were streak free after a quick cleaning with this spray. I was happy dancing around my streak free kitchen after using this!

 Pro's

• Green - Good for the environment
• Non Toxic - Safe around my family and pets
• Scent - Does not stink
• Streak free
• Antibacterial - not just a cleaner, but a germ killer too!

Con's

• Price - $9 for 17 oz. seems a little high to me for antibacterial cleaner
  
•  Sealant - I was at war with the bottle just trying to get the tape to come off so that I could use this.

Overall - Besides the price being a little too high for my budget, this product did everything that they claimed it would do and more. If you are thinking about going green, or already have this is a great product! 


Soothing Hypoallergenic Shampoo

Eco Store USA has the following information about this product:

Gentle on itchy, sensitive skin, our Herbal Fresh Shampoo is expertly designed to penetrate safely into the skin where it is most effective.  Mild enough for frequent use.  Safe for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens over 6 weeks of age.

I had the same problem opening this package as I did with the antibacterial cleaner, but after I finally did get it open I was ready to give Sasha a bath.

I had used Hartz some type of flea control product on her a few months earlier and her hair started falling out in clumps, she was dry and itchy all over and had a horrible scent to her body no matter how many times I washed her. I tried a couple of other products that seemed to irritate her itchiness more and did nothing to help the stench.

The first thing that I noticed after opening the bottle was the smell. (Yes, I am kinda OCD about smells too) It smelled soooo good. How do I explain it? Heaven in a bottle. Yes, that's it.

Here I go, ready to pour the sweet smelling goodness onto my dog. I tip the bottle and it just starts pouring out like niagra falls. It has the consistency of water and I was not expecting that at all. So, half a bottle of shampoo later and we are done. The dog smells excellent and is still half bald.

I continue using the shampoo on my dog once a week for a month and I notice that her hair has started to grow back. Yes! I am not going to have some freakazoid half naked labrador. The itchiness and stink have diminished quite a bit too. Almost 2 months after I received this and my dog is completely back to normal. There are no signs of the bald, foul smelling dog that once was. Thank you Eco Store!

Pro's 

• Green - Good for the environment
• Non Toxic - Safe around my family and pets
• Scent - Heaven in a bottle
• Itchiness - Sasha was itch free after using this
• Made all of Sasha's hair grow back
• $13 - Higher than I would normally pay for shampoo, but this stuff did wonders!

Con's

• Sealant - I was at war with the bottle just trying to get the tape to come off so that I could use this.
• Consistency - Too much like water and not enough like Shampoo

Overall - I have never been happier with a product for my animals. This shampoo worked a miracle on Sasha and it is definitely something that I will be purchasing again in the future!
