I'd Rather Be a Germaphobe

Okay, so I've explained before the different types of OCD. Unlike the rest of my family, I am not a germaphobe, which honestly, I'd rather be. Cause I'd rather have a clean house than obsess about wanting a clean house but how I don't have time to clean (even though I do) and how I'd probably not clean it right (even though cleaning wrong is better than being dirty).

I do however have weird issues with smells. I'm absolutely certain that our house stinks. Certain. Though everyone who's ever been in our house comments about all the nice smelling candles and air fresheners and everything else. They insist that they're not lying.

Either way I'm always on the lookout for decent cleaning products that not only effectively clean, but help get rid of any odors.

I was recently sent some products from EcoStore USA to review and honestly I'm super impressed.

Aside from the products being plant based and safe, they work really well. Plus, they actually go a long way. The Cream Cleanser (which smells lemony awesome!) lasts forever. And best of all, it cuts through grease really nicely, which is a big deal to me because touching greasy things is one of my biggest issues (Matt actually buys me rubber kitchen gloves so I don't have to).

While the Cream Cleanser is really nice, my favourite is their Pure Oxygen Whitener which has totally replaced the use of bleach in my laundry. I haven't done a comparison load to see which cleans better, so what I can say is that it cleans at least as well as bleach, but on the plus side I am all out of bleach but I still have a massive amount of the Pure Oxygen Whitener because this stuff lasts so long. I'm totally guessing at this, but essentially I would use about two cups of bleach to one tablespoon of EcoStore USA's Pure Oxygen Whitener.

I would say that if I do ever become a full fledged germaphobe, I would definitely use EcoStore USA. It's price worthy which helps my obsessiveness over being frugal. It gets rid of odors and cleans, thus eliminating germy scented issues. And best of all, it's all eco friendly and plant based so when I do use them to clean my locked bathroom with a toothbrush and a black light, I won't worry about breathing in harsh chemicals and slowly poisoning myself.

It's a win win for the mentally ill.
