I Used to Hate Cleaning . . . and then I met, Grove Collaborative and Mrs. Meyers Honeysuckle Multisurface Cleaner

I USED TO Hate Cleaning

It is no joke. I hated cleaning. I don’t know why.

I guess it is kind of like some people hate doing laundry or going grocery shopping.

For me, it was cleaning.

Until I was asked to try Grove Collaborative. (At the time, it was called ePantry – they just changed their name a few months ago.)

But anyway, they sent me a box of stuff.

Yes, I called it stuff.

Cleaning stuff.

I have to say though, I was impressed with the box and the packaging. It was incredible how much they fit in that small box! Just like a puzzle. And every item was uniquely wrapped to make sure they didn’t leak.

But that’s not what sold me on cleaning.

Up until this point, I had been too frugal to see if I could like cleaning. I simply used whatever products were on sale, or that I earned for FREE with coupons.

Cleaning was just a chore. Something that had to be done.

I knew my life was changed (literally, my whole experience with cleaning in the past and for the future) when I used the Mrs. Meyers multi-surface everyday cleaner for the first time. After the first squirt of the honeysuckle scent, I could not stop squirting and scrubbing.

You might laugh, and that’s ok. I probably looked ridiculous.

Just ask my husband. He came downstairs from putting the kids to bed and all the counters were clear and wiped clean. The house smelled of honeysuckle, and I think he about flipped! I may or may not have overdone the squirting that first time. 😉

Reviews of What Grove Sent Me

Here’s the stuff Grove Collaborative sent me in that first sample order. Everyone’s tastes are different, but I thought I’d share a quick review of each item.

  • Mrs. Meyers Multi-surface Cleaner – Love it!
  • Method Dish Soap – Not sure what I think of having a pump soap for my dishes yet. But I’m still using it, 2 months later!
  • Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap – Love it! I think for me its the honeysuckle scent.
  • Seventh Generation Toilet Cleaner – It works fine. I don’t think I have a preference when it comes to toilet bowl cleaners. It did have a unique pour spout compared to The Works, which I usually use.
  • Unscented Face and Body Wipes – I don’t use these often. No complaints when I use them though.
  • Grove Candle – This candle has a very strong aroma. It seemed almost overwhelming in our house. I lit it in our kitchen. It wasn’t bad, just a very strong smell in all of our downstairs.
  • Grove Lip Balm – Loved it! Unfortunately mine dropped out of my pocket the day after I received it, and it was run over by our van in the driveway. 🙁
  • Seventh Generation Tissues – I wasn’t a fan of these. I hate to give bad reviews but I guess I’m particular about how soft a tissue feels on my face. These felt kind of like that rough cheap toilet paper you find in commercial bathrooms.
