For years I have hated bleach.  It just breaks me out.  I use it but I can’t stand the smell that it releases into my house.  I don’t like having to use such harsh chemicals on my clothes.  I was approached recently by EcostoreUSA about doing a review for them.  I’m all for cleaning up my environment but I’m not as good as I should be.  So I went to look at their website.  Low and behold they had a product that I couldn’t wait to try Pure Oxygen Whitener. It contains oil of citrus and Coconut and other plant-based ingredients.  I tried it the other night to find that it cleaned out all of the stains that Jason puts on his clothes as well as my husbands.  We don’t want to talk about that!! It is resembling price as well.    The first time I used it.  It didn’t really change anything.  Then I figured I should read the directions.  I had to let the clothes soak for awhile and my husband’s boxers came clean.  I was amazed.  I very much recommend this product.

Not only that but my house didn’t smell like bleach.  There was a nice citrus smell in my house.  I’m looking forward to using it more.  It was fairly reasonable as well.  You could buy 35.3 oz for just $12.00.  If my clothes are going to look this good, I’m going to continue buying it.

EcoStoreUSA, also, let me try out another product.  I have dogs so when I saw the Hypoallergenic Shampoo for Dogs.  I just had to try it out.  Lucky didn’t seem quite as willing to try it though.  So I pick up him up and run upstairs to give him a bath.  Have to lock him in the bathroom because every time he hears water he runs for cover.  I warm up the water and put him in the tub and I pour some of the shampoo on him.  Well first thing I noticed was the lovely smell of it.  It smelled like a sweet honey.  Then I start shampooing Lucky.  Let me tell you I was surprised.  Every time I have had to wash him I have all these bubbles that didn’t happen this time.  No bubbles!!  It is always harder to tell if you are getting them clean because when you go to rinse them off the bubbles take forever to get out.  Well in this case it was no problem at all.  In the end, Lucky actually seemed to have liked his wash.  I dried him off and his coat was softer and shiner than it had been in a while.  I do suggest that if you have a dog that you look at this shampoo.  I won’t be going back to anything else.

About EcostoreUSA

Their products also help to ensure value for the dollar for their customers. They know it can be expensive to buy natural or organic products but they’ve found a way to safely super-concentrate our formulations. Their super-concentrates means that a little really does go a long way – saving you money by cutting down significantly on cost per use.  This is totally awesome.

Check out their website.  They have great videos and podcasts.  Not only that they offer FREE shipping on any orders of $25 or more.   Now the great find I had because I do know that I love their products now that I can find them in my local Meijer stores.
