So I won't even pretend that I am capable of resisting the allure of gingerbread-scented cleaning products. When I saw this clean-up kit reviewed in one magazine or another I raced to Mrs Meyers' website to order one. Alas, they were sold out! When I saw them two weeks later in Whole Foods, I nabbed two of them (one for my mother-in-law's Christmas gift.)
So, the dish soap. My MIL uses your standard chemical products, and even she was impressed with the ability of this stuff to tackle grease (must be the soap bark extract.)
The funny thing about Mrs Meyers is that they sell their products to Williams Sonoma for the latter's own home line of cleaning goods... which are then marked up. Oh Williams Sonoma, how I'd like to like you.
Anyway, so my MIL likes this stuff, and so do I. The gingerbread scent is really pleasant, though I'd like it a bit more bitingly gingery. Who knows what they'll come up with this winter. Did you see the Honeysuckle "Spring Cleaning" kit in the spring? (I refrained, file under "still using the freaking Winter kit!" It's 25% off now if you missed it.)
I'm still using the gingerbread hand soap too. (I wish the winter kit had come with glass cleaner like the spring kit did.)
I love that eco cleaning companies have gotten so creative with the scents. Aromatherapy makes cleaning more tolerable.

I hate to be a bummer, but I found out from a representitive at Mrs. Meyer's that they are discontinuing the gingerbread line! I was so disappointed. I loved using it all year long as it was my way of keeping Christmas in the back of my mind all year. If you are disappointed by this turn of events, please go to the Mrs. Meyer's website and let them know this. If they hear from enough people, maybe they will change their minds.
Blessings,
Lisa
