I would like to try Simply Floored! This fits in because I try to use natural products as much as I can.

I am very sensitive to chemicals and have small children that I would rather not expose to toxic fumes from cleaning products. I like that these products are mostly natural and are not damaging to the environment.
I love that they are safe and biodegradable. I just hate how so many products are not safe..
I love safe products and am always willing to try something new. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

I like their care of the planet attitude.

We screen hundreds of ingredients, choosing only the ones that are both effective, and have the fastest, most complete biodegradability profiles. All of our products have rapid biodegradation profiles. Over 99% of the ingredients we use are natural or derived from natural, renewable resources, and the formulas have no aquatic or terrestrial toxicity (making for some very happy amphibians). We use no nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) because it messes with the reproductive systems of marine life — and kids love fish and frogs.
I have a toddler just like the one featured on their entry page. The less chemicals she is exposed to during her life, the happier and healthier she’ll be. I *Need* that 2am miracle!
Oh, these all sound so good! I like “green” products! I have three children and want them all to live as long as possible with as few health problems as possible. I’m trying to get away from chemical cleaners for their sake (and mine). They all sound so good, I’d love to have ALL of them! My oldest is 8 and at the age where she’s starting to help out with more of the cleaning and I would feel so much better with her cleaning with these products rather than those chemical ones. Good for you for going so “green” in such a variety!
Slowly but surely, I’m greening up. I’ve even resorted to making some of my organic cleaners. If this works, I’m in. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Not tested on animals, that’s my #1.
