Aussan Natural...Review & Giveaway!




I am a stay-at-home mom and right at the top of my duties is cleaning.  My house is by no means immaculate....not even close.  In fact, at the end of the day it sometimes seems like a tornado just blew through even though I have been following the kids around all day picking up after them.  Clutter is just part of having little ones (or so I tell myself!!).  While there are sometimes a million toys on the floor, the floor beneath is generally clean and I am always on the hunt for cleaning products that do the job AND are not full of icky chemicals.  I just recently came across a new favorite company that fits that bill...Aussan Natural.

Aussan Natural is a line of botanical, non-toxic cleaners that are 100% natural.  All the products are hypoallergenic too making them a great for people with allergies.  These products are 100% for people and pets and are all biodegradable making them safe for the environment!  This is the type of cleaning you can actually feel good about.



I have been using the All Purpose Cleaner...
Our All-Purpose Cleaner naturally removes grease, grime and everyday dirt from any washable surface. Plant-derived ingredients act as powerful cleaning agents - harmless to people, pets, waterways and the environment, yet capable of tackling the toughest household chores!

 The Floor Cleaner Concentrate....


Aussan Natural™ Floor Cleaner effortlessly cuts through dirt to leave your hard floor surfaces naturally clean and looking their best.  It’s safe for all hard floor surfaces, won’t strip sealants or finishes and leaves no residue!

 and the Nursery Odor Eliminator...
Sweet baby, bad smell? Designed with baby’s safety in mind, gentle botanical ingredients naturally eliminate bad smells at the source without just masking them. Feel good knowing that our Non-Toxic products are always 100% Family Friendly.

I am smitten with these products....or as smitten as one can become with cleaning products!  The All Purpose cleaner has been great in the kitchen for overall counter cleaning as well as getting all that stuck on food off of Baby R's high chair (she is a messy little thing!).  I have used the floor cleaner on our hardwood, tile and linoleum and been thrilled with the results...no residue or stickiness...just a clean floor suitable for eating Cheerios's off of!  Finally, the Nursery Odor Eliminator.   Oh, how I love this spray.  It is absolutely lovely.   It is a nice combination of eucalyptus and vanilla and it really is heavenly.  It can squash the yuckiest of smells.  I like it so much that I spray it throughout the house.  It is my favorite room spray.  


We all have to clean our houses....it is just a fact of life.  Why not do it with something that not only works but is also safe for our families and the environment?  You can find the full array of Aussan Natural cleaning products (they have everything!!!) by visiting their site HERE.


One lucky RBM reader will win all the products I tried out (and am loving!):  All Purpose Cleaner, Nursery Odor Eliminator and Floor Cleaner Concentrate.  Thanks so much to the sponsor and here is how to enter...

Purex Complete With Zout...Review & Giveaway!

You all know how much laundry I do, right??  Piles and piles of laundry!  It is seemingly endless and with three little ones I have lots of stains to contend with.  It is a constant battle.  Because I am a Purex Insider (Woo-hoo!!!  Love this gig!) I got to try out a great new product, Purex Complete With Zout. 

Purex Complete With Zout combines your laundry detergent with a pre-treater....a time saver and a space saver!  With so much laundry I really want to make things as simple as possible and Purex Complete With Zout helps out with that in a big way.  For regular washes you use it as you would any detergent but if you have a super tough stain you can take a bit and rub it on the stain to pre-treat.  I put this to the test on watermelon stains (watermelon and I have a love hate relationship!) and it worked like a charm!  Here  is more about the latest from Purex...

  • Contains three powerful stain-fighting enzymes, each one targeting a different type of stain (Protease for protein-based stains like grass and blood, Amylase for starchy stains such as chocolate, Mannanase for guar which is found in many foods such as ice cream and salad dressing)
  • Can be used in both traditional top loaders as well as High Efficiency (HE) washing machines
  • Available in Fresh Morning Burst and Free & Clear 
Sounds great, right?  Well, it really is!  You can even try a free sample by signing up here.  You can purchase Purex Complete With Zout at major retailers now at prices ranging from $3.99 to $7.49 depending on size.  


Great news....Reviewed By Mom is giving TWO readers a voucher for a free full size bottle of Purex Complete With Zout!!!  Thanks to the sponsor for making laundry a little more manageable!!

Purex Complete Crystals...Review & Giveaway!


Since becoming a mother I have discovered a household mystery....there is no bottom to the laundry pile.  Ever.  I have no idea how this has happened but it has been 4.5 years since I have seen the bottom of the hamper and I am doing laundry ALL THE TIME.  Hmm...not sure what to make of this!  In any case, when I was chosen to become a Purex Insider I was ecstatic.  If I am going to be doing laundry all the time I might as well be doing it with great products!


I was recently sent Purex Complete Crystals to try out and I couldn't wait.  Have you seen Purex Complete Crystals on the shelf yet?  Here is how they work....

Seriously, it is that easy.  You add it at the beginning of the wash and it gives your clothing a yummy dose of scent and softness that lasts.  I love easy and I really, really love the way Purex Complete Crystals make my clothes smell and feel.  The scent is just right...not overpowering but definitely there (but NOT in a super perfumey way).  Something that really sets Purex Crystals apart is that it is 92% natural.  It is not oil based like traditional fabric softeners which means it will not "gunk" up your washer or stain your clothes.   It is safe for all fabrics and even preserves the flame retardant benefit of your children's clothing!

I am hooked on Purex Complete Crystals and give it an enthusiastic thumbs up!  It retails from $3.99-$5.99, depending on the retailer and can be purchase in three scents....Lavender Blossom, Spring Waters, Tropical Splash.  I am currently using on Lavender Blossom and it smells divine!


Three Lucky RBM readers will each win a coupon for for a FREE 28 oz bottle of Purex Complete Crystals ($5.99 value).  Here is how to enter...

Mandatory Entry: Leave a comment below telling me which of the three scents you would most like to try. You must complete this entry for all extras to be counted.
