Squeaky Clean With Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar *Giveaway* Published on Sunday, December 5, 2010 by

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

Did you know that something you likely have in your cabinet can kill most mold, bacteria, and germs?  I’ve heard that vinegar (white distilled) is an effective cleaning agent.  But to be honest, I haven’t used it as much as I should.  If you’re wondering what you can use vinegar for, check out 1001 Uses For White Distilled Vinegar!

A couple of weeks ago, I started using Windex’s Multi-Surface Vinegar cleaner.  The cleaner is made with vinegar and cleans everything from glass and windows to countertops and appliances.  Since I pretty much stopped using conventional cleaners, I’ve noticed that I’m more sensitive to their smells when I encounter them outside my home.  Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar is comprised of an ammonia-free formula which means it doesn’t have the harsh scent of conventional, multi-purpose cleaners.

I’ve mostly been using the cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom because I like those areas in particular to be clean and germ-free.  I’m particularly happy with how it’s cleaned the soap residue in my shower.

Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar Cleaner is effective enough to use on a variety of surfaces in your home which means you don’t have to use anything else if that is your preference.

The one thing I would like the company to do is disclose the complete list of ingredients on the back of the bottle (if I missed it, I’d love to know).  More and more I’m looking for companies to be completely transparent about their products.

For more information, just visit their website.

Win It! One of you will win a prize pack that will include Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar, a reusable bag, and digital photo frame.  Simply leave me a comment with something you learned from the site.  This isn’t mandatory, but I’d love to know (in the comments section) how you feel about conventional companies manufacturing “green” products.  Comments will close on December 20, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  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.

    plastic bottles are recyclable (when trigger is removed) and are made of 50% post-consumer content.

    i love that companies are offering greener choices. i live in a small rural area and there are not a lot of stores available even after you drive the hour to get to a store at all. THese stores don’t carry specialty items like green cleaners and organic foods. They are tending to carry the greener versions of popular brands

    I’m not a “green” person. We don’t do things like dump our garbage on the ground, and we always pick up after ourselves. However, we don’t believe man can destroy the earth; only God can do that. We also see the futility of recycling since the brunt of it ends up getting thrown right back in with the regular garbage. We also don’t believe that something that comes from the earth can destroy it.

    I learned that this can be used on a variety of surfaces–even countertops! Now, I have to admit, I’d never use regular Windex on my countertops, so it does seem that this new vinegar formula for Windex has a lot of advantages besides being environmentally friendly–it can be used in more ways. It is nice to see “conventional” companies bringing green products into the mainstream, but I agree that it would be nice to have the ingredients right on the bottle!

    I learned that “the special ammonia-free formula has no harsh vinegar smell—just a fresh, clean scent.” That’s good, but I actually don’t mind the smell of vinegar.

    I like that big companies are doing green cleaning, but I’m not sure I trust them to be completely green like the small mom & pop companies that use simple proprietary blends or my own simple concoctions.
