I was super impressed by this: For best results, use our household scrubber regularly on your kitchen sink. Even The Kitchen Sink™ creates an invisible barrier, making future clean-ups faster and easier. That is so cool!

Green and clean!!
LOVE that it creates an invisible barrier, making future clean-ups faster and easier.
What I like about the products and the company is that they have a touch of whimsey to them, proving that being green does not mean being boring and dull. This would fit into my trying to live a green lifestyle because using green cleaning products is the logical next step to take in my household.

No VOCs! Asthma and chronic bronchitis in the house, so we need products that won’t trigger attacks.
Thanks!
I like how the donate a percentage of there profits to non–profit organizations who share their vision and passion for a clean planet.
Even the kitchen sink
Love the fact that they are not tested on animals. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about going green I think its great
This is a gluten-free cleaning product.
Not tested on animals.
Fits right in with our needs and beliefs.
I have a child with Asthma and it’s important to use cleaners that don’t have harsh fumes that can irritate her Asthma. The Better Life products would be much safer to use around her. Thanks!

I like the fun names for the products! And it would fit into our lifestyle by making using green products more fun! :)
I like that they are natural and some have a clean fresh scent.
I’m trying to use products that are safe and contain no harsh chemicals, also want products that are safe for all my family members.
Thank you

would like to try these products
I like that these cleaning products are safe and biodegradable.
we all have allergies and are careful about what we use, this would be great
I like the story behind the founding of the company … sounds like dedicated people doing good work.
I have a two year old and a dog, I want the safest cleaners on the market and Better Lifes chemical free products fit the bill!
I like how the products don’t have chemicals which can harm us and I am especially interested in them because I have little ones around the house who don’t need to be around these chemicals.
It´s wonderful that they donate a portion of profits.
I especially like the way they package and present their products. Adds a little bit of attitude to the green movement.
I like that they are all mostly entirley natural
I like that they’ll provide monk-like cleanliness in a safe and healthy way!

They’re non toxic and not tested on animals.
What-EVER is perfect for a house with seven dogs!
I am sensitive to strong artificial scents and I have a grandson who visits often and has respiratory issues. These natural products would allow me to keep my home as clean as I want without overpowering odors.
Mentioned on my blog.

I like the products because have animals who lick and taste everything! This way I can still clean, but not worry about them swallowing harmful chemicals.
I have 2 grandkids with allergies and I am switching over to as many green products as I can. I especially like the ones with no odors.
I love the look of the bottles! So bright and fun! I also love that they’re safe for homes with animals. I want to keep my pets as safe and healthy as possible!
I like that Better Life products don’t have solvents, silicones, VOCs, ethoxylates, petroleum–based ingredients, or harsh surfactants, and they work just as well, if not better, than products that do. This fits in with how we’re greening our lives because we’re insisting on cutting out unnecessary and unnatural chemicals.
I liek that these products are non-toxic. They would fot into my green lifestyle bc I buy products that are good for the envrionment and also beneficial to my health rather than poisoning.
I subscribe via email.
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
i want to help our planet and every little bit helps :)
I keep getting my hubby (cuckoo for coupons) to buy Better Life, and he keeps coming home with something he got on sale with a coupon. But if I am on grocery duty, I will buy these products and breathe easier!! I really hope Walgreens will soon carry them in stock on a regular basis.
it’s great that a percentage of their profits go to non–profit organizations, they’d fit in with my life because I love green products and cleaning safely

There are so many things about this product I like:
1. The ingredients they use are safe for our planet and animal, like my dog, who wont get sick while I am cleaning.
2. The sprays wont aggrevate my migraines, which traditional chemicals do, so I have to leave the room & sometimes the house while my husband does some of the cleaning.
3. They give some of their profits to like-minded companies to further the cause.
Thanks for the chance to win.

I like that these products are safe and green friendly. I can clean my whole house with these and not worry about my family’s health. It is great that they are also good for our environment. They would be perfect for my family’s lifestyle. We try to buy the safest products that won’t harm the environment.
I noticed that U.S. News and World Report endorsed Better Life products. They are a source that I trust. We need a safer world for ourselves and our children. Green products are for me.
I like how their products are safe on all surfaces. They would fit into my green lifestyle by enabling me to clean my home without having to use harsh chemicals.

Going green is great, but the products still have to WORK! I like the the products are screened hundreds of ingredients, choosing only the ones that are both effective, and have the fastest, most complete biodegradability profiles.
Better Life blends highly specialized surfactants made from sugar, starch, and amino acids — all safe stuff.
When we moved into our new home three years ago, I promised myself and my family that I would only use natural products no matter if the cost was more — I’ve kept that promise and so these products would really fit into my cleaning regiment!
