Dropps: Non-toxic, plastic free laundry and dish detergent pods

August 10, 2020 Shelly Rand

I’ve tried so many different laundry soaps in my lifetime. Pods, liquid soaps, powder soaps, homemade soaps and even those nut type organic soaps. All work of course but not all leave your clothes or towels feeling perfectly clean or smelling great. Some leave a residue and some make you wonder what your even washing your laundry with. And then, I found Dropps, these small non-toxic plastic free laundry pods that not only clean your laundry perfectly they arrive at your door as often as needed and are made from natural ingredients. All the guess work is done for you. Just throw a pod in the washer, add your laundry, turn the washer on and watch your laundry come clean.

How I determined that I will never use any other brand of laundry soap again…. Our dryer broke, yep first my laptop, then my dryer, when it rains it pours. So, after ordering the part for the dryer, but while waiting I had no choice but to wash some laundry and figured I would just hang it up all around my house since well it’s winter time and freezing cold outside, knowing my laundry would never dry on the clothes line… Back to my determination, I hung up the laundry (after washing numerous loads with Dropps) telling myself I guess I will have stiff, odd smelling clothes until the dryers repaired. NOPE, was I ever so wrong, towels, clothes even jeans were soft, smelling great and so clean.
From the cost (excellent) convenience and wonderful scents I highly recommend Dropps.

They also sell dish washing tabs. I don’t have a dishwasher but did giveaway my tabs I received to review to some of my clients. They raved about them selling their dishes came out sparkling clean and would be using the online ordering for convince.

Frosch Cleaning Supplies

March 30, 2019 Shelly Rand
IMG_1619.jpeg

I had never heard of this brand, nor have I ever seen it in my local stores, but I kept seeing advertisements online and then came across Frosch on Amazon. So, of course I had to message for a product review. As most of you know I clean homes for a living, I love what I do, yet can’t stand cleaning my own homes, lol typical I guess. Anyhow, cleaning supplies I go nuts over. They are like candy to me. I love good scents, anything eco-friendly and natural. Non of those harsh chemicals. My clients also like that I use these types of products. So it’s a win situation for both of us.

Back to Frosch, I received the two pictured items above.

Kitchen Cleaner ~ Grapefruit

Shower & Bath Cleaner ~ Lemon

The day I received them I took them out for a test run, first house in the morning. About 15 minutes into cleaning the client walked by the hall bathroom on her way to work and said wow that smells amazing. I showed her the new Frosch Shower & Bath Cleaner and she said please keep using this in my home. I love it. I even got a text later that afternoon, she said when she got home her house smelled amazing. The only cleaner I used that day was the kitchen cleaner and shower & bath cleaner. So that was the amazing smell she was smelling. Her house smelled like fresh fruit and was super clean. I also use the kitchen cleaner at home and love it. Not only does it clean good, it smells amazing, isn’t harsh on my hands

MamaSuds ~ All Natural Household Cleaners

March 6, 2019 Shelly Rand

Truly safe household cleaners for your family.

I clean homes for a living and like to have the most safe, non-toxic home for my clients by using environmentally conscious products. MamaSuds makes some outstanding products that fit my needs. Not only are they environmentally friendly they work great, smell great and aren’t harsh on my hands.

When I used off the store shelf products I was coughing all the time, I spent more time coughing then cleaning someones home then actually cleaning. I would also leave feeling like I smelled like cleaning supplies and would have to go straight home instead of running errands or going to the gym and instantly shower. Not anymore!

19_928b4ca1-2dfc-4375-ac1f-98270c618dbf_600x.jpg

I received MamaSuds All-Purpose Cleaner and online it states: Warning: This cleaner is so effective it will make you want to clean your whole house. This is no joke. I cleaned one house, cleaned another and came home and cleaned my own home. This is rare for me, my house is usually put aside until the weekends. I love this cleaner. It smells like cinnamon & cloves and makes you smile as you clean.

You don't need a special cleaner for every nook and cranny of your home. Sinks, counters, doorknobs, stove-tops, garbage lids, the side of the couch where your mini-me drew a self-portrait.... all you need is this brilliant and effective formula that leaves nothing behind except faint aroma of pure essential oils.

One bottle 16oz cleans a whole home, I actually got 3 homes out of one bottle. I used nothing but MamaSuds All-Purpose Cleaner for everything in these homes minus the floors (used a steam mop)

The homes were sparkling clean, no residue and a faint cinnamon & clove smell when done.

Ingredients: water, MamaSuds handcrafted Castile Soap (potassium olivate), organic whole leaf aloe vera gel juice with citric acid*, pure essential oils of clove bud, organic cinnamon leaf, lemon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary.

I have one client that only allows natural cleaners in her home. We usually only use vinegar, but I don’t like the smell and I don’t like to smell on me. Her home was one of my MamaSuds “test homes”. She loved it, her words “my home smells amazing, looks amazing and there is no chemical residue” I never minded using vinegar in her home but never really felt like it cleaned properly and always felt it left a film on some things. When I leave I want my clients homes clean so they know I took my time and put love into it. With MamaSuds I can leaving knowing my clients homes are truly clean. I’m happy and so are they!

The bottle is BPA Free and recyclable plastics made in the USA

Refillable with MamaSuds Castile Soap (2-3 fluid ounces of soap, 13-14 fluid ounces of distilled or RO water and your favorite essential oil) OR with our NEW MamaSuds All-Purpose Concentrate. 

In the future I will be ordering the MamaSuds All-Purpose Concentrate and refilling my current bottle.

The second MamaSuds product I got was the Liquid Castile Soap.

It’s the Superhero of Soaps.

We have been using castile soap in our home for years. Mostly for showering and washing hands. I add castile soap into our hand soap dispensers along with some water (our dispensers make foam) It’s the best and most natural way to clean your skin and leave it soft.

Castile Soap has hundreds of uses but we especially love it for bathing, face cleansing, hand-washing, floors, dishes, counters, and toilets.

To wash a floor you only need 1-2 Tablespoons per gallon of hot water. It will leave your floors sparkling clean with no residue. I use it at almost every home I clean on the floor.

Ingredients: distilled water and potassium olivate (saponified olive oil)

Coming from someone that cleans 2-3 homes per day MamaSuds is by-far the best natural cleaning supplies I have ever used. The smell is amazing, the way they clean is outstanding and the fact that I am not using harsh chemicals in my clients homes well getting them squeaky clean is the best. I will only be using MamaSuds products from here on out in all my clients and my own home.
