Do your homework friends!! If you have any chemical sensitivities (ie if you are a carbon based life form or know some that you love), please check for an MSDS (material safety data sheet) on your cleaning products. Some of the dyes and stabilizers and fragrances are gnarly!
Text from the company website:
"Our fragrances contain natural essential oils and other non-natural ingredients to ensure safety, consistent performance and quality."
"The process of ethoxylation is used to enlarge molecules, improve mildness, change solubility parameters and foaming properties of certain ingredients. There is some concern that this process produces a by-product that is a known carcinogen. Our raw material suppliers are under strict regulation by the government to eliminate this contaminant and employ a number of procedures to remove it."

I have used Mrs. Meyers products for about a year now...countertop sprays, laundry soaps, bar soaps, fabric softeners, window cleaners, powdered surface scrubs, dish soap and all-purpose cleaners. So far I have not been disappointed in their effectiveness and cleaning powers. Most of the products smell wonderful as well (the rhubarb scent was not quite to my liking. Smelled rather "heavy" though my friends really liked it.) Compared to other green products the price is extremely reasonable, especially if bought online from large online organic product and health supply stores. The soaps (bar, dish and laundry) all suds up and clean very well. The bar soap is enormous--well worth the price! The countertop sprays and all-purpose cleaners were indistinguishable from each other, so I've stopped buying the countertop spray. The surface scrubs work well on soap scum and minor toilet rings, and pretty good on other messes. It's not good for hard water stains (pumice stone and elbow grease is though), and due to the powder's very light texture, be careful not to breath it in when using. The fabric softeners work like a dream--both the sheets and the liquids--and do not overwhelm the senses with a heavy "perfumey" odor. The scents for all the products are not overwhelming and last for quite a while after usage, and as most of the products are concentrated, they do last quite a while. Definitely makes housework a lot more enjoyable! Well worth giving these products a try in your home!

When I decided to de-toxify my home a few years back, finding something to clean with that smelled clean was a challenge. After all I was used to using artificial smelling cleaners that were strong in more than one way.
After trying a few different brands that either didn't clean up without rinsing, rinsing, and rinsing which wasn't the green way to go or they just smelled bad or bland. I stumbled upon Meyer Clean day Geranium. My expectations were not high after all I had no idea what a geranium smelled like to tell you the truth. What a wonderful surprise! Cleans up without massive amounts of rinsing and smells like a dream. When people enter my condo afterwards they ask what that heavenly smell is? I love the all purpose cleaner, the surface scrub and window cleaner.

I loved this product when I first found it. The counter top spray is great for quick cleaning and does away with bad odors. However, I thought I smelled synthetic fragrance in it and it says on the label in the ingredients list - fragrance. Please excuse me if this is a naturally derived fragrance, but usually it says so on ingredient lists. I prefer to use all natural products especially on my skin and near my food. Hope I am wrong b/c I love the overall effect of the cleaning products.

I love Mrs. Meyers products! Her products work great and the scents are fresh and derived from essential oils. The only downside is the price. I wish the price were lower--I find that in this day and age when you can get more green products on the market, I can usually find a competitor that is priced lower. However, when she goes on sale I am quick to buy anything from the lemon verbena line.

I have to say that Mrs. Meyers has the best smelling products around. They are delectable. I am a die hard biokleen user but occasionally I will get an itch and splurge just for the yummy scents of Mrs M.

I've only tried a few of these products but so far all have a nice clean pure smell and after-feel about them.
Definitely worth trying.

I used Mrs. Meyers lavender cleaning products and then discovered the geranium scent. Which I love! First of all, the product cleans grime like there's no tomorrow and it's biodegradable. A little drop cleans a long way.

Ahh Mrs. Meyers how I love you.
While I have to cringe a little at the price, there is nothing that makes my silky soft bamboo sheets smell and feel better than a run through the wash with Mrs. Meyers Geranium Laundry detergent. It’s absolutely worth the extra pennies per load for the special treatment of my blankets and skivvies.
And while I wish I had the luxury of hanging my sheets to dry on a line in the hot warm sun, I settle for throwing Geranium dryer sheet through in the dryer which is the next best smell to sunshine.

I use every single product and am so happy with it. I bought the counter cleaner first and was so happy I went back and bought the whole line. My favorite scent is the Lemon Verbena, but the others are lovely as well.

The best part about the Mrs. Meyers products is that they make your house and clothes smell delicious. I have used many of the products from both the lemon verbena and geranium lines. At this point I wouldn't use anything else on my laundry. I also use the all purpose cleaner, dish soap, and scouring powder. They are all plant-based, cruelty free, and truly clean.

I had just read an article about how bad conventional chemical cleaning products are for both our health and the environment when I came across Mrs. Meyer's products at the grocery store. Both the spray and the powder work great in cleaning my kitchen and they smell great, too.

I was turned onto Mrs. Meyers household cleaning products through IdealBite. Her website and online ordering process was very easy and user-friendly. The products are even more amazing using biodegradable ingredients, cruelty free and aromatherapeutic essential oils. Plus they actually clean really well! My kitchen, bath and laundry smell deliciously of Lavendar. Try them. You won't be sorry!

This product it such a great product, that me and my roommates look forward to cleaning our flat each week! I've never witnessed such a phenomena with my many years of living there (11yrs). It gets the job done, things come out clean and they smell swell (scented with essential oils)! I find it to be a great gift too, you introduce a product that is eco-friendly and they'll love it's effectiveness and it's scent! Hope you like it too!
