Just When You Thought Spring Cleaning Was Over…A Seventh Generation Giveaway!

April 1, 2009 by Caryn

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Kate. Congrats!

Yes…it’s true. Our Spring Cleaning Event has ended. April Fools! I have a few more cleaning/organization posts for products that were added in at the last moment. So, on Rockin’ Mama we’ll have one more week of encore posts and giveaways before the big event that is coming up very soon (more deets to come soon!). Right now, there are giveaways open for entries and winners will be chosen by the weekend (I have to tally all of your extra credit entries and verify with Tanya and Amanda).

I couldn’t very well end this event without sharing with you one of my favorite companies that will help you get your entire home clean naturally. I have had the pleasure of working with Seventh Generation in the past, but even before we started working together, I was using their products. That is because, first and foremost, I identify with their philosophy:

Seventh Generation is committed to becoming the world’s most trusted brand of authentic, safe, and environmentally-responsible products for a healthy home. The company derives its name from the Great Law of the Iroquois that states, “In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”

One of the core characteristics of Seventh Generation is it’s transparency. The company is committed to helping consumers like you and I, make informed choices. If you have a question, you can expect to find the answer on the bottle or package, on their site, in their 7Gen News, or in their printed material. They don’t use words like “natural” or “hypoallergenic” without backing those statements with fact. They go so far as to list their Material Safety Data Sheets on their website. How is that for transparency?

Evey product that I’ve used from the company has been effective and safe for both my family and the environment. You may recall that I blogged about how I came across Seventh Generation when my son was suffering from horrible diaper rashes. Seventh Generation was my last resort before going to cloth diapers (which there is nothing wrong with but doesn’t fit with our lifestyle). Within about a week his diaper rashes were getting better and better until they just went away. But I’m not here to talk to you about diapers am I?

I had the pleasure of reviewing the company’s entire line of cleaning products in their Living Home Starter Kit including the following:

Natural Glass and Surface cleaner
Natural All Purpose Cleaner
Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Shower Cleaner
Tub & Tile Cleaner
Kitchen Cleaner
(2) Natural Paper Towels – 120 Count
Seventh Generation Reusable Tote Bag

The products are amazing. They’re safe and effective and I love that I can clean with my son in the same room. I love that I don’t have to sacrifice effectiveness for safety. I love that I don’t have to ventilate, wear a mask, don gloves, or otherwise suit up for a cleaning venture. The cleaning agents are plant-derived, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Many are also hypoallergenic. If you’re looking for a “natural clean,” I highly recommend Seventh Generation. I feel good about using products that were created by a company who strives to save natural resources, reduce pollution, and overall make the world (and our homes) a safer place. If you would like specific information on how any of the above products work, just leave me a comment and I’ll answer your questions! Maybe you want to know which is best for soap scum or mold or windows…I’d love to share my thoughts and experiences with you.

Win It! One of you very very lucky readers is going to win a Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit which includes each of the products listed above. Again…I’m going to make you work just a little for this one! First, head on over to the site and look around. Then come back and leave a two-part comment indicating something you learned on the site that I didn’t mention in my review AND how you’re going green this spring! Comments will close on April 15, 2009 at 10 PM PST. One comment per person, please. US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.

Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.

Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each additional entry.

IF you added the Spring Cleaning button to your sidebar BEFORE MARCH 31, then you will receive two extra entries (but please comment on this post so I can keep track of who is to receive two extra entries. If you comment here that you’ve placed the button, it won’t count…this is for my sanity!). Here is the code since it’s not working from the other post:

I can’t believe they have Chlorine-Free Organic Cotton Tampons! I’ve been intrigued by the idea of something more natural for fem care, but didn’t really know what to do. What am I doing to be more green this year???? Let me tell you! I’m transitioning my home to Kleen Kanteen bottles. No more cases of water for us! And, thanks to these blogs, I’ve found Skoy cloths. I’ve ordered some and plan to never buy a paper towel again. I’ve also been transitioning to green cleaning. All our cleaning products are now green (I make them). As soon as I finish up my laundry detergent and dish detergents, I’m transitioning them, too.

I added the spring cleaning butto to http://www.thewaughlife.blogspot.com last weekend.

I enterered Amanda’s Seventh Gen contest, too.

So far this year, they have “saved” 307341 trees. I am going greener by increasing the amount of my own recycling and encouraging my employer to set up boxes for recycling of office paper (envelopes, memos, etc).

They carry their products at Target and you can get coupons off their site! I going green by trying to use green cleaning products and personal products, this would help!

I learned that Seventh Generation Large Trash Bags are 80% recycled plastic (24% post-consumer, 56% pre-consumer.) I will be giving four rooms in my home a complete overhaul this spring – the bags will be a necessity!

I’m a subscriber!

Part 1: On their website, there is a feature called “Ask Science Man”. It’s way cool. There are all kinds of questions, ranging from “Is chlorine in tap water harmful?” to “What are dioxins?”

Part 2: This Spring, I am going Green in small ways. I am no longer going to use paper towels during Spring Cleaning, and no longer buy disposable plates, cutlery, and napkins for our outdoor events.

I love new cleaning items! Go green!

I didn’t know that they sold Chlorine-Free Maxi Pads (or that such a thing existed). I knew about Chrlorine-Free Diapers and how important they are, but I must have missed the memo about the pads. It is something that definitely interests me.
We are pretty green over here in the Webster household (mentrual pads not withstanding), but we are being forced to make a major purchase soon. Our bed is almost 50 years old (I kid you not–it’s gross), and it has finally gasped its last breath. We will be purchasing a new bed, and we are going to research all the “green” alternatives out there so that we can make an informed, eco-friendly decision.

I looked around the site and learned about water conservation AND (now, I did not know this) that many faucets have aerators which mix air into the water to reduce usage! That’s pretty kewl and I’m going to check all my faucets to see that they have the aerators! BTW – I’m going to tell my Green-Inclined daughter about this site… she is always looking for better and better ways to learn about green living!

1) On their website, there is a coupon for $1 off any laundry products.
2) I’ve already started going green through recycling and decreasing energy usage, but I’m still trying to wean my family off plastic water bottles. So that’s my goal this year.

3) I’ve also entered the other two giveaways.

Here is part 2 of the two-part comment entry (hope I’m doing this correctly LOL) :
To go Green this Spring I am going to not only increase my efforts to recycle every scrap I can, but ALSO to REDUCE the amount of materials that comes INTO my home! And I am so glad people are finally recognizing the importance of livng in balance with nature!

I learned what Dioxins are From the Seventh Generation Website!

Dioxins are one of the most toxic chemicals known. Dioxin is a general term that describes a group of hundreds of chlorine-containing chemicals that are highly persistent in the environment. The most toxic dioxin is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The major sources of dioxins in the environment are waste-burning incinerators. Dioxins are generated when chlorine-containing materials in the waste stream (such as polyvinylchloride (PVC) plastics) are burned in medical and municipal incinerators.

How am I going green this spring? I am recycling, planning my car trips to use LESS Gas, buying green cleaning products, and looking for products with LESS packaging! NOW, I always bring tote bags with me when I go food shopping too! I also eat a vegetarian diet which is Eco friendly!

1. I learned to Avoid room deodorizers or other air “freshening” products, which are frequently made from unhealthy chemicals.

2. I already started by recycling my pop cans & bottles and using reusable grocery bags instead of the plastic grocery bags. Lastly, I’m looking into purchasing cleaning products made from safe natural and not-toxic ingredients.

Currently Seventh Generation uses sodium lauryl ether sulfate, or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), in our liquid laundry and liquid dish detergents. This is a naturally-derived chemical that comes from palm kernel oil and coconut oil. (Petroleum is used in the ethoxylation process.

Part two of first comment:

I am recycling everything that I can.

I am going to leave the car at home and ride my bicycle to work.

They dedicate 10% of our profits to non-profit community, environmental, health, and responsible business organizations working for positive change.

I’ve been using green cleaning products and recycling a lot more types of stuff than I used to.

When it comes to dwindling resources, petroleum may get all the press, but many experts believe that water is the bigger story. I am planting a garden

I like the ask the science man section but I learned that they sell feminine products- tampons is definitely a great way to start with natural and hypoallergenic products.

This spring we switched from paper towels to microfiber cloths for cleaning and I have been opening the windows instead of turning on the window fans.

I learned One of the country’s first self-declared “socially responsible” companies, Seventh Generation is a business that operates according to a new and different set of principles and values that in many ways are a marked departure from those long considered “traditional.” I plan to go green by using all natural cleaning products!

They have great baby diapers and wipes – biodegradable and no use of chemicals. Trying to use all organic, non-toxic cleaners so these would find a happy home here.

I learned from the Science Man that traditional crayons are made from a petroleum byproduct and are not biodegradable. There are soy based crayons that are an earth friendly alternative.

I forgot to add what I was going to do to green up my spring because I was so fascinated by the crayon fact I learned on their site! I plan to green by using reusable cloths instead of paper towels when cleaning.

This spring I will dry all my clothes out on the line

I kove to spring clean! Everyday is like spring cleaning !!!!!!

They carry a Free and Clear Line of products: Completely free and clear of dyes and fragrances. That is very good to know.

I learned that many products that claim to be fragrance free really aren’t; they use masking agents to hide the real scent of their chemicals. Seventh Generation doesn’t do that.

This spring, we’re building on our green living ways by starting to compost and by investigating the use of rain barrels. We’re also going to be putting in a garden…all organic.

Who knew that almost 1/2 million barrels of oil could be saved if all americans replaced 1 bottle of petroleum detergent with vegetable based detergent?

I’m putting out a clothesline this weekend, and I just made my own detergent.

No harsh fumes with the toilet bowl cleaner, and of course I would use this to clean my toilet bowls!

You can buy the products at meijer and I am changing to CF bulbs

The Kitchen Cleaner is in an Orange and Ceder Spice fragrance. That sounds perfect for a kitchen. I am using up all the chemical cleaners I have in the house and replacing them with eco-friendly ones — or just plain old baking soda and vinegar.

I am an e-mail subscriber.

I can’t believe you can buy this at Target, what a deal! I am going more green by making a worm compost bin!

151

I learned that Non-chlorine bleaches are typically comprised of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide or percarbonate which are able to kill many common bacteria, fungi and viruses. Non-chlorine bleaches are capable of reducing the quantity of microorganisms on laundry, although the ability to kill microorganisms when diluted in a wash cycle decreases antimicrobial efficacy.[1-2] For the best results with chlorine free bleach, pre-treat any highly contaminated items.
How I am going green this Spring is I am not going to to use harsh chemicals to clean and am doing away with bleach for the laundry and other cleaning.

1. The Seventh Generation website is just jammed packed full of a wide range of very useful information. I read and read through all 42 of their suggested Ways to Save Energy. I learned that I SHOULD Use the A/C IN OUR CAR. In today’s aerodynamically designed vehicles, the drag created by open windows generally uses up more additional gasoline than the air conditioner. Interesting, now I will feel no guilt for keeping COOL in the car all summer long, great, great tips here folks, I suggest reading them!

2. We are going green this spring by keep cool drinking from our own personal hydration vessel. I purchased one for every member of the family so we are no longer purchasing any bottled water. I bet we were throwing away over 2 dozen plastic bottles a week and now none, zip, zero, nada! It may seem like a small change, but we are working on incorporating more into our lifestyle everyday! I could list the things we are already doing, and they are pretty much what others have listed too!

Around The Blogosphere - Week 79

[...] Rockin’ Mama Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit (4/15 US Only) [...]

Well, it’s not about the product, but it is on the site: I learned that some people think duct tape will work to remove warts. Apparently it does work about as well as moleskin.

182

Oops, hit submit before adding my green tip. We’re starting a compost bin and installing rain barrels.

183

They have a product line called “Free and Clear” that are completely free and clear of dyes and fragrances.

Hopefully I’m going green this spring by winning these great prizes to help with my spring cleaning. If not though, I am saving up to buy a Mulching reel mower. No more gas, oil or dead batteries.

I learned that they had laundry detergent for HE washing machines. I’ll have to look for them.

I’m going green this year by planting some of our own produce this summer.

We’re trying to start going green this year – planting some organic veggies and herbs in the back yard, recycling and trying to cut down on our electricity use.
I learned that non-chlorine bleaches are capable of killing microorganisms in laundry (but it’s still best to pre-treat)!

195

What a great idea to produce chlorine-free, organic feminine products!

We are kickstarting our spring by starting a compost heap to help our garden and reduce waste!

196

I learned that you should dust with a damp cloth. My mom always did that! She was green before green was cool!

To go green this spring, I am attempting to grow my veggies with nothing but organic products, like mixing my own insecticidal soap instead of a chemical.

197

Dina

I learned that non-chlorine bleaches are capable of reducing the quantity of microorganisms on laundry, although the ability to kill microorganisms when diluted in a wash cycle decreases antimicrobial efficacy.

Sorry – forgot to mention I started using E-cloth this spring to clean my windows and bathroom with just water. Also subscribe!

No harsh fumes with the toilet bowl cleaner, and of course I would use this to clean my toilet bowls! I love that it helps reduce chemicals in the environment and in my home.

208

To go green, I plan on doing more recycling with my family.

I learned that you should not use aerosol products. They fill your home with microscopic droplets of whatever is being sprayed. These droplets remain suspended in the air for hours and are easily inhaled.
I am going to try to be more green this spring by choosing cleaning products that will not harm my family

222

They donate 10% of their profits to non-profit community, environmental, health, and responsible business organizations working for positive change.

Im trying to do little things, wherever I can.
Like not printing my atm reciepts when I check my balance.
Just a waste of paper.

223

I recycle whatever I can including donating unused items to Appalachian Helping hands and passing on my catalogs and magazine to others to read. Thanks!

224

I’m impressed with the amount of care they take in choosing ingredients for their products. The part of the site where they discuss how they are moving from one preservative to another on the off chance the one they were using could be carcinogenic is informative – a lot of companies don’t sweat over stuff they use in such low concentrations.

Around our house we are trying to switch to greener cleaning options. We already swapped the lightbulbs for compact fluorescent ones and we’ve gotten really good about bringing our own bags to the store and using alternative transportation most of the time for commuting, so switching to greener cleaners is the next big step.

225

No harsh fumes with the toilet bowl cleaner. That’s good! And, we’re growing our own vegetable garden this year.

I learned that they donate 10% of their profits. This spring I am planting a bigger garden!

227

I learned that I need to throw away all of my aerosal air fresheners. They are full of toxic chemicals. Yikes!

My lawn is sort of my baby. I love to have plush green grass that people comment on. Weeds are my enemy. This year, I’ve pledged to care for my lawn “green” all season. No sprinklers, no scary fertilizers, limited lawn mowing. We’ll see if I can make it!

232

I never realized there was chlorine in Maxi-pads or diapers, but since they make it without, regular ones must have it. We will be going green by not using our dryer anymore, but hanging our clothes out instead.

233

crayons are not biodegradable

234

ha ha…organic tampons…that is insane…but i’d try them

I am going green by using fewer chemical based cleaners and trying not to use paper towels AT ALL

235

dishwasher detergent packs. I didn’t know they offered…

236

They have Chlorine-Free Organic Cotton Tampons.

I use less paper towels and more cloths.

I learned they also make feminine care products.

I am improving my “greenness” by changing to CFL lights and I am searching for the best organic products for cleaning. That means I need to try a lot of different ones to find the one I like best.

I learned on the site that they have a great collection of baby diapers and wipes. I’m going green this spring by using less energy.

247

The best thing I’ve learned is that you can get coupons off their site! Who doesn’t love saving money while doing your part to help the environment and your family. I am going green this summer by building a composter in my backyard. I can’t wait!!!!
