| jro26's Full Review: Household |
I hate using cleaners that are strong and stinky and I am sure everyone agrees with that. I came across some products that are made by Sun and Earth and I ordered immediately. The order process was simple and done online, I received the products within a week. I bought the sampler pack, which I talk about in this review, and the shipping was added into the price. I am not sure about shipping on the other products but I am guessing it is also included in the prices. I will talk about each product individually, then prices and also information gathered from their website.
Ultra Laundry Detergent
I am in love with the smell of this stuff!! It has a very fresh orange citrus smell to it, but not too strong at all. You can barely smell it on clothing after drying it, you just smell clean! This detergent is all natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and also mild and safe for people with sensitive skin and allergies. Which works great for me, most detergents cause me to get terrible rashes but I haven’t had any from this detergent. *Side by side tests versus the leading laundry detergents show that Sun and Earth Ultra Laundry Detergent cleans as well as leading brands. Yet has no added dyes, perfumes, or preservatives, which are leading causes of irritation. This detergent is not tested on animals. The bottle made with recycled plastic and is Biodegradable. I realized that the laundry detergent really is competitively priced, especially compared to Tide, which is getting so expensive. The Sun and Earth Ultra detergent is $3.99 for 50 oz. and of course you have to buy three at a time. *Their website says it has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.
Hypoallergenic Hand Soap
This soap is also all natural and non-toxic. *It is clinically proven to be hypoallergenic. *Tests done with over 160 people for a total of 1,200 usage occasions, show Sun and Earth to be mild and safe for people with sensitive skin. It contains no added dyes, perfumes, or preservatives that can dry out your skin. It also contains aloe vera, which makes my hands very soft. Once again this is not tested on animals and is also biodegradable and made with recycled plastic.
All Purpose Cleaner
I love everything about this stuff! It works on so many things. And since it is all natural, non-toxic and safe to use around children, pets, plants, and near food I can use it on my pet carriers and not be worried about making my animals sick. This has a fresh citrus scent and is made with orange and coconut oils. This is not a strong scent either, I was cleaning my bathroom with it and there are no windows, which can be a problem with regular cleaners, but I didn’t feel like I was getting intoxicated with chemicals! This worked great in my kitchen as well as my bathroom. It cuts through grease and dirt and is recommended but not limited to the following uses: Kitchen countertops, microwaves, bathrooms, lunch boxes/coolers, pet areas, laundry pre-soak (yay, it takes out mud stains!), greasy stovetops (works great for this), fridges, desks and toys, high chairs, changing tables, carpet stain remover, and outdoor furniture. Oh but that’s not all! You can dilute this cleaner with water and it works 10 times better than Windex, no streaks at all! I was really amazed by that as it doesn’t seem like it would do well on windows and mirrors since it cuts grease. You can also dilute this and use it to mop your floor. You would not believe how much stuff I cleaned with this cleaner; my house smelt like an orange juice factory, in a good way. :o) I love this part: Ingredients: Water, coconut oil, orange oil. Yes, that’s it! Once again, this is 100% environmentally safe, non-toxic, biodegradable and made with recycled plastic. Nor is it tested on animals.
Dish Washing Soap
If you are like me and don’t like it when you scrub dishes and then see that it has somehow removed your nail polish and your hands feel like they were rubbed with sandpaper, than this is for you. This is a concentrate formula, which puts out lots of lasting suds, which I love. Cuts through grease and dirt great for use on: Dishes, Glasses, silverware, pots and pans, baby bottles, utensils and dishes, hand washing fine washables, washing the car. This is all natural, non-toxic with a fresh citrus scent, made with orange and coconut oils. Hypoallergenic with no artificial dyes or perfumes. Rinses clean, leaving no film or residue. Environmentally safe, 100% biodegradable, bottle made with recycled plastic and not tested on animals.

About Sun and Earth
This was taken directly from their website, sunandearth.com: *“Sun and Earth® products were developed to fulfill a void in the availability of non-toxic household cleaners that really work. After several years of extensive research and development, Sun and Earth® products have emerged as the leader in safe, all natural, effective cleaning products, that are competively priced. Sun and Earth® products are sold primarily in conventional supermarkets and select natural food store throughout the United States. Additionally, Sun and Earth® products were featured recently on QVC in their "Quest for America's Best" programs. Recently, the popular consumer reporter for CBS-KYW TV station in Philadelphia, Paul Moriarty, put Sun and Earth® to the test against Fantastik® all purpose cleaner. Sun and Earth® actually outcleaned this leading national brand! This test was shown as a special consumer report during the CBS news. With the first use of Sun and Earth® products, the benefits are clearly recognized. Our products are made from citrus and coconut oil blends that not only clean and shine beautifully, they also have a fresh citrus scent that people rave about. Additionally, by using only 100% all natural ingredients, Sun and Earth® products are safe to use around children and pets and won't harm our precious environment. Our products also provide great relief for people suffering from allergies and sensitive skin.
Clearly stated, our mission is to provide consumers with safe,non-toxic cleaning solutions that work as well as or better than leading "toxic" brands and offer them at a competitive price. We feel that we have accomplished much of our mission; our challenge now is to get Sun and Earth® products into the homes of all consumers who want to make a difference.”
Overall
Overall I am completely satisfied with all of the products. They are more than worth the price and do exactly as they promise. I highly recommend you invest the $15 and get the sampler pack and try them all out. Safety is priceless.

**Added Info: I have found yet another wonderful use for the All Purpose Cleaner. Even though it doesn't say it works on ovens, I sprayed my oven and just wiped it down, it cleaned very well. Although it didn't work as well as strong oven cleaner, it didn't stink up my whole house either!
