Simple Green

Ok, this stuff is amazing. If you haven't tried it you should. It's pretty inexpensive, and its concentrated so it's gonna last longer. 
I am a Melaleuca freak. My whole house is full of Melaleuca products.  If you've never heard of Melaleuca go here and read about it. Its an extrodinary company, with impeccable products.  My children, my 2nd child inparticular is so curious, and into everything all the time. With my Melaleuca products, I never have to worry about having to call poison control 100 times per day. He could literally drink the cleaners or dish soap and be totally fine. Not saying I think its ok for him to play with my cleaning products, by any means, but knowing if he ever did that its not going to kill him is definitely reassuring. 
I'm sure you'll see lots of cleaning tips and cleaning products pop up, on this blog from me.  Most of them being from Melaleuca, because its just that amazing.
Simple Green is not a Melaleuca product, but its still pretty great. I was a bit weary of trying it cause I never really heard anything about it or payed attention to it in the stores. I didn't want to use anything that was toxic or anything. 
 I was cleaning out my car one day and trying to clean the backs of my seats where 2 of my boys have kicked their muddy shoes all over.  My seats are leather and for the life of me I could not get the dirt out of all the little crevices in the leather. So it still looked dirty after cleaning it. Well I was talking to my husband about it and his mechanic mentioned Simple Green, that it would definitely work, he also said it would work on those tuff stains in the carpet from where my children have spilled stuff.  So I went to the store, found it, read the label, then bought it. Its a non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally safer cleaning product used for household cleaning. I went home and tried it, and what do ya know it got my seats clean. (on the bottle it said not to use on leather, but I did anyway).  After seeing how well it worked I went online to read some more about it. One of the things I read is that it gets all kinds of stains out of clothes. I have yet to try it on clothes, but with 3 boys and a husband that gets real muddy at work, I'm sure I will.
  Probably the only thing I'm not too crazy about, is the smell of this stuff.  If it does what its suppose too tho, I can put up with the smell. 
If you've used Simple Green, let me know how it worked for you!
