Stains don’t stand a chance with this winning combination. My two-and-one-half year-old granddaughter decided to paint more than the paper in front of her today. I am so glad I have these products on hand!
Part of the EcoSense line, these two are furniture savers when those little artists are around! I don’t think I could be without these two products when the little ones are around!
I started cleaning with Pre-Spot and followed up with Sol-U-Mel. You’d never believe it had been painted red!
Just in case you’re using vinegar as a disinfectant…it’s not nearly as powerful as Sol-U-Guard, which is the only EPA-registered plant-based disinfectant that DOES kill 99.9% of germs and viruses, including Influenza, SARS, COVID-19, E-coli, and more!
Undiluted vinegar doesn’t kill viruses sufficiently enough to qualify as an EPA registered disinfectant, and it doesn’t kill dangerous bacterial like staphylococcus. Once you dilute vinegar as part of a DIY cleaning solution, you’re reducing the virus-killing power even more. Vinegar is not an EPA-registered disinfectant and it’s not powerful enough to be used for sanitizing settings like childcare, schools, or even your own home. Vinegar does not kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria so you’ll want to swap vinegar for an EPA- registered disinfectant when you want to protect your family from viruses like COVID-19. Vinegar is not sufficiently effective to be on the EPAs List N – the disinfects approved agains SARS CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19).
We’re often exposed to viruses in high-traffic areas where we’re coming onto contact with droplets from other people, and where it is challenging to keep your hands clean. Due to a dubious level of commitment to hand washing and a penchant for unhygienic sharing practices, children are great germ vectors! This makes childcare settings and schools a high priority when it comes to killing viruses—and vinegar isn’t potent enough to help in this area. While vinegar can be use to physically remove dirt and grime, vinegar does not kill germs thoroughly enough to be used as a disinfectant or sanitizer in schools. Yet, vinegar can be caustic when used in high concentrations.
A great way to kill viruses and cut down on hitchhiking germs that are coming home from school is to spray items down daily with an EPA-registered disinfectant Like the one I use, Sol-U-Guard.
Sol-U-Guard kills 99.9% of household germs using the ingredients thyme oil and citric acid.
Thyme-tested thyme oil. The thyme plant uses thyme oil as an I’mmune system—killing microorganisms before they an invade.
Naturally safe and effective Citric Acid. Every drop of citric acid that goes into each bottle of Sol-U-Guard Botanical takes over 100 hours to process, including 35 hours spent on filtering alone.
Sol-U-Guard literally makes germs spill their guts. Many viruses are surrounded by a lipid envelope. When Sol-U-Guard breaks down this envelope, the virus is killed. Soluguard is all-natural and patent protected (#7642227)
For me, I pretty much switched all my cleaning products at the same time, but TILEX was first out the door. When I became more aware of the toxic ingredients in cleaning and laundry products, I picked up the TILEX bottle and it literally said “Do not stay in room while using this product”! Yeah…read that last statement again and then think about it.
Interestingly enough, in 2015 and then again in 2019, Clorox amended the label to sound not so scary. It now says:
“Wash hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Wear eye protection/face protection such as safety glasses. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.”
We take warning labels for granted.
Did you know that TIDE and grocery store laundry detergents have an ingredient called 1.4 Dioxane, which is a known carcinogen? It’s banned in Europe and finally certain states are establishing laws. Unfortunately, all the manufacturers do is “reduce” the amount instead of removing it entirely…like that makes it okay.
We have double points and $1 memberships. This is the perfect time for me to share my favorite store! Let’s have a conversation! The work I do matters—and, it only works when I work!
First of all, there’s no legal definition for the term “All Natural” so when I read or hear that, my skeptical side comes out. But over the last few years, those cute little companies that popped up with “natural” products sold out while you weren’t looking. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but here’s what happens:
When a company like Clorox purchases Burt’s Bees, usually what happens is they change the formula…and they have every right to do it. They now own the product. It costs more money to produce a healthy product and they want to improve their margins. It’s their right…but they often fail to inform the customer and the customer presumes that it’s still as natural as it once was.
In fact, there have been multiple lawsuits involving several of these big manufacturers for saying a product they acquired was green when, in reality, they changed the formulation to include cheaper and often toxic chemicals so the product was no longer green.
The skeptic in me says “Do I really think a company like Clorox really believes in my health and offer me green clean products when they also produce bleach?”
It takes paying attention to where our shopping dollars go.
Nevermind that it contains NO Chlorine Bleach, NO formaldehyde, No ammonia, no parabens and no phthalates….IT SMELLS LIKE DANG PEPPERMINT AND IT WORKS AMAZING! It’s a “crappy” job hahaha. (Pun Intended) but we all gotta do it. Might as well enjoy the experience the best you can, right!?
Saying goodbye to my previous career to exclusively work my side hustle and travel has been a transformative experience. It has not only provided financial stability but has also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined. Now, I can work from any corner of the globe with a laptop and a reliable internet connection—from bustling cafes in European cities to serene beaches in Southeast Asia.
My side hustle is a skill that will work no matter what’s going on in other markets. No matter how high interest rates are spiking. No matter what the Federal Reserve has to say. No matter how much or little inventory is available. This side hustle will help you make money outside of your normal work environment forever.
If you’re feeling stuck in your current position, don’t be afraid to explore new avenues and consider a side hustle I’m living proof that it can be done! Life is too short to settle for anything less than what truly makes you happy. Cheers to embracing change, pursuing dreams, and living life to the fullest!

No thanks. Did you know that for just $19 a year, I can choose American-made, natural products—sounds like a much better deal to me!
For the past 20 years, my family has been shopping at my favorite Online Shopping Club, and we’ve saved thousands by steering clear of big corporations like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Instead, we proudly support a company that not only aligns with our values, but also allows us to earn by simply sharing with others. Plus, it prioritizes first responders and military families—something we deeply appreciate.
For me, every purchase feels like a meaningful choice, from supporting American-made goods to investing in businesses that give back to those who protect and serve our communities. That’s why every month, 20,000 to 40,000 new customers join in. It’s more than just shopping—it’s a movement. I’m proud of every family making the switch.
To me, this is how the average American breaks out of the system. You have to shop anyway—why not get paid for it?
My Online Shopping Club is the future of conscious consumerism, and I’m all in. Care to join me?
