I’ve been using my Well Earth Goods products now for about 3 weeks. While I plan to try even more products from their company, I want to follow up on my article about sustainable products during quarantine.
I grew up with a mother who ran a very clean and extremely organized house. When I say very clean, I mean spotless- even with a family of 6. Now clearly, while we all strive to clean well, we all can’t meet that standard. I will say this though, living with such a meticulous mother taught me how to clean very well. I even got a job in college cleaning houses. So, I have spent my life exposed to cleaning tools and cleaning products and, while I don’t really enjoy cleaning, I know how to do it well. *Hence the tutorial I forced my kids to watch.
I like using a scrub brush to clean the bathroom. 
Beyond letting the cleaning supplies work for me, I apply elbow grease and really get at the stains with my scrub brush. My goal is to fully clean my shower once a week, however, I am human and sometimes life gets in the way. Last week, I saw mildew forming in the corner of my shower. *The nerve! When I started cleaning, I realized that it was engrained in the grout. When I got on my hands and knees and scrubbed, the scrub brush from Well Earth Goods was amazing. Besides the benefit of not being made of plastic, the bristles are so sharp and really did the job well- no more mildew. The brush also reached into the inside rim of my sink and the yucky stuff that came out was disturbing. Who knew it was so gross? This scrub brush is amazing! The only con is that a few bristles fell out here and there, but it wasn’t enough to make me not want to use this scrub brush.
Moving right along to the 
toilet brush. After using the toilet brush, I would venture to say that my toilets are just about as clean as they were when they were installed. The toilet brush is large and the bristles are so sharp that it really does the job it was made to do. It’s a little sad that I could get so excited about cleaning tools, but I am! I do not like cleaning, but if I have to clean- or if I make the kids– I want my tools to work well! The bristles are made of union fibers- a natural substance.
I also recommended the 
Not Paper Towels. They are a great replacement for actual paper towels. I think, however, that people are expecting them to be more like dish towels. They are not. They are thin like actual paper towels but are just better for the environment. My goal is to eventually buy the wooden container and have a larger stack of them to use. For now, I keep them under my sink and am forming the habit of using them instead of using an actual paper towel.
The reason why I decided to try these products is because of Emma’s information about plastic. Plastic is not a natural substance. The chemicals that emit from plastic are toxic and the amount of plastic in the ocean in disgusting. You can read more about
it on Emma’s tips page about the ocean air or, to understand it even better, watch the video on her tips page, “The Life Cycle of Plastic.” While changes need to be made to global infrastructures, we as consumers can do our part as well. The challenging part is that companies that eliminate plastic and work to be sustainable are not the norm. As a result, they tend to be more expensive than mainstream, well-known brands. This will only change if people modify their typical buying practices and support these businesses. That’s another reason why I’m supporting companies like Well Earth Goods.
I have had Emma telling me (and kind of harassing me) about my lack of sustainable household products for quite some time. While I like to try new things and am not completely set in my ways, I was not willing to change everything in my house at one time. What she has said, however, is to not replace products until they need to be replaced. In other words, if your toilet brush is still working well for you, don’t replace it until it no longer works well. Once I started reading what Emma shared, I realized that plastic is a MAJOR issue.
Taking the time to read Emma’s recommendations has really changed my mindset and is allowing me to better understand the environmental issues going on in the world. She recommends products that have non-toxic ingredients but that are also from companies that are trying to reduce their carbon footprint.
I hope you also consider making some changes, which is part of the mission of Emma’s website. If you have products that you’d like her to research, please comment below.

Thank you for your interest, I’ve found a lot of Facebook Environmental Interest Groups, but I don’t participate in web forums. It’s pretty easy to find them if you search Facebook.

Hi there! If you click the green “Subscribe” button on the site toolbar, you will receive email notifications whenever a new post is shared – this doesn’t apply to the Explore page.
There is a setting in most domain hosts where you can click mobile view and edit JUST the mobile view. Whenever I publish a page on my laptop, I test it in mobile view and make necessary edits so that everything works in both forms. Hope that helps!
Howdy! Quick question that’s entirely off topic.
