Week Two - Target: Household Cleansers

This week we decided to start changing out our household cleansers for kinder, gentler cleaning products. I was a little worried, as we have really hard water here in Las Vegas. Would I have to sacrifice a truly clean house for a clean conscience?

Enter Method cleaning products!

Method is the only cruelty-free company that I know of that is readily available at most Targets (and I hear at Big Lots as well). Their products are never tested on animals, nor do they contain any animal derived ingrediants. Yes, they're a little more expensive, but isn't it worth it?

This week we changed out:
Softsoap handsoap - for Method Hand Wash
Arm and Hammer detergent - for Method Laundry Detergent
Soft Scrub - Method Daily Shower cleanser
Windex - Method Window Cleaner
everything from 409 to Scrubbing Bubbles - for Method All Purpose Surface Cleaner

A very cool coincidence - PETA just named Method's founders as 2006 Persons of the Year!
