Spiffy Naturals in the House (literally)!

img_3577So we’ve been chatting lots about how fall, for us, means getting things back in order the house, and settling back into a routine. One of those ‘back-in-order’ jobs we do is getting the house tidied up and these days I’m always looking for simple, accessible, natural products that I can incorporate into our home. If there’s a way to keep things a bit more natural, especially with products that are in close contact with Em, and it’s no muss and no fuss on my end, then I’m all in! Enter Spiffy Naturals. A local, organic, all natural line of cleaning products. We’ve been using the Spiffy Naturals products in our home for about a month now, and let me tell you… they’re a game changer. Read on!

AFFORDABILITY:

We did some digging, and compared Spiffy Naturals to other all-natural, small batch, cleaning supplies and found that the pricing is right in line with the market. In my opinion, finding a cleaning product that works REALLY well, and also helps me remove a few more chemicals from the surfaces my babe is living on, is worth it’s weight in gold! But for more pricing specifics, here you go:

All Purpose Surface Cleaner: $8.95

Liquid Laundry Detergent: $10.25

Air Freshener: $6.95

BLUEPRINT (overall design):

img_3822All Purpose Surface Cleaner:

  • 500 ml spray bottle
  • Fully organic, 100% natural, vinegar based (chemical free!) and made in Canada
    • NOTE: because it’s vinegar based, and hella-good at cleaning, you’ll want to test on a small area of stone surfaces and avoid use on soft stones
  • We tried the Orange, and Lemon and Basil varieties, but check out a full list of options here.
  • The cleaner is produced using a two week brewing process to infuse it with the natural cleaning properties of the plant-based ingredients
    • The orange variety is great for use on wood floor or surfaces, because of the natural oils in the orange rind!
    • Citrus varieties are great at naturally eliminating pet (or baby!) pee smells
  • A diluted mixture of ¼ cup cleaner in a mop bucket full of water serves as an excellent, chemical free option for mopping your floors. Doubly-duty? Yes, please.
  • For stuck-on foods? Just leave the cleaner on the spill for about 30 secs and then wipe clean… it really works!
  • The scent is vinegar based, but the citrus and herb notes make for a fresh smell that you’ll want to have in your home
  • Spray bottles are durable and mist well for great cleaning coverage without having to use a ton of product on each surface

Liquid Laundry Soap:

  • 1L glass mason jar (that can be rinsed and re-used), roughly 16 loads
  • 100% natural, organic, and made in Canada, suitable for HE laundry machines
  • We tried the Lavender variety, and the scent was perfectly mild and fresh
  • The best part of this detergent in our opinion is what’s NOT in it. Because there are only natural ingredients and zero irritants, it’s ridiculously gentle on skin
    • We used it on all of Em’s clothes, and it was mild enough for his sensitive skin
    • Did we mention it’s gentle enough to be used on cloth diapers?!
  • It’s hypoallergenic, so If you or your babe have any eczema or skin sensitivities, this detergent will save you from scratching and worrying!
  • The lavender infusion has antibacterial properties, making it great to use on towels and dishcloths.
  • To pre-treat stains, pour a little directly on and let it sit for a few minutes before you throw it in the wash – we tried it on some of Em’s stainiest stains, and it did the job!
  • Bonus note for anyone living off the grid (you’re probably better humans than I…), the soap is completely safe for grey water systems as well

dsc_0110Air Freshener:

  • 8 oz spray bottle
  • When life gets a little stinky, this is the product I want to have on hand (in fact we included this in our diaper bag must-have post, because we don’t leave home without it!)
  • The air freshener is furniture and linen safe (think Febreeze, minus all of the scary chemicals)
  • This spray is made with pure essential oils, retaining all of their effective properties
    • This means that the freshener also acts as a hand sanitizer – hello diaper bag life saver
  • It smells deeeelightful!

CREATIVITY:

Shelby is the mastermind behind the Spiffy Naturals products, and she actually GROWS all of the herbs used in the product. She cares so much about what goes into these products, she actually GROWS THEM HERSELF! Pretty darn creative, that’s what that is.

The second wickedly creative party about the Spiffy Naturals brand, is that it is created from a completely green process. Shelby sources the fruit rinds used in her infusions from juice bars, that would otherwise be disposing of the ingredients. Seriously! We get amazing cleaning products, and a fruit rind gets a second life. You go girl!

 

So in case it wasn’t completely obvious, we love us some Spiffy Naturals in this house. And because we want to share that love with you, we’ve got an amazing offer just for you! If you enter the coupon code EMMETTSABCS when you purchase your first order online (HERE), you’ll receive a FREE Air Freshener with your purchase! Your diaper bag will be forever grateful!!! Grab yourself some amazing cleaning products, support an awesome Canadian business, and get a free gift in the process… we like to call that a win-win-win.
