Don’t sacrifice green for clean

I love eco-friendly cleaners that actually work. Because—let’s face it—sometimes they don’t. And even when they work, I don’t always necessarily love the price tag.

But I’ve gushed here before about EcoStore USA and their assortment of earth-friendly products. Most recently I tested out their toilet cleaner and their oxygen whitener. Despite my love of harsher products for guaranteed results, I found both of these cleaners to work just as well as their more toxic counterparts, all without the fumes (and guilt!) that tend to come with bleach. Awesome.

Now it’s your turn to try ’em out, if you haven’t before. One lucky Want Not reader is going to receive a $25 e-gift certificate for use at Ecostore USA, to spend on any products you’d like. They’re running a 2-for-1 special right now on orders of $50+, too, if you’re wanting to stock up!

Want to win it? Of course you do! First go read the contest rules and regulations, then come back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and carbon footprint.

And if eco’s your game, be sure to check out their blog and sign up for their monthly newsletter, too.

Ready? Go!
