Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

Great to move away from chemical smells while cleaning in enclosed spaces. I have to use a little more “elbow grease” than a “regular” cleaner, but since it smells great, I don’t dread cleaning day!

Hi Lizzie! This scrub is so multi-purpose, you can use nearly anything to scrub with it! For tubs and extra-heavy spots, our team loves using a scrub brush. For cleaning that requires less elbow grease, we love to use a cloth, old t-shirt, sponge, or rag! Luckily, the scrub does lots of work, so your tool will just enhance it’s cleaning power 😀

It smells great and works well on my countertops, sinks and toilets. It doesn’t tackle the gray tinge in my cheap tub/shower but I haven’t found anything that works for that other than a pumice stone and lots of elbow grease.

I bought the tea tree and peppermint version. It has a great smell that is both delicious and clean smelling at the same time. I like how this product works, it cleans great. Sometimes there will be a few granules that don’t dissolve, so it feels like I’m wasting it. Occasionally I will mix this in with a little baking soda or non-scented abrasive cleanser to give it a little more grit. But that’s just me trying to make this product stretch further. Oh and I like this company – that’s important in my book. Thanks for finding them Earthhero!

It’s not perfect, but it does surprisingly get the job done. It is difficult to generate suds, however.

I’m a bit disappointed with this after reading the great reviews. I’ve been searching for an eco-friendly alternative for cleaning our bathtubs and nothing has done the trick. While this scrub does smell great and seemed to get a thin layer of gunk off the tub, I really don’t feel like it does much cleaning.

I purchased the peppermint tea tree scent, and have used the scrub on my sinks, the floors in my bathrooms, and in the tub and shower. It smells SO GOOD, and works so well! A little does go a long way, but I love it so much that I am ordering two more today. I would love to live close to a place that sells this in bulk, but I don’t, so I would love if Meliora sold bagged refills for this product like they do for their excellent laundry detergent.

I have used this for cleaning pretty much my entire bathroom. Kids leave a toothpaste mess in the bathroom sink? Make a paste out of this. Natural toilet cleaning? Flush, then after the water stops running but the bowl is still damp sprinkle a metal capful around the bowl. The baking soda deodorizes, the essential oils freshen, and the soap helps lightly foam and (I hope I worded this right) “break down the lipid layer of any nasty bacteria”. While this does not claim to be super antibacterial, between the EO and the soap I feel like it helps.
MUCH much better than a product that is just baking soda + EO in my opinion, because of the cleaning power of soap.

My household includes a young child learning to use the toilet before it is too late, we clean the bathroom a lot. This does the job excellently without continually adding toxic smells and chemicals to the environment. It doesn’t just clean well, it smells wonderful, making the cleaning experience enjoyable, too. It is quickly becoming my favorite cleaner.

I love the fresh and soothing scent of this cleaner. It works wonders in my tub and kitchen sink. The only downside is that sometimes the larger flecks get stuck in cracks or don’t wipe up as easily. But overall I’m happy with this and will use for my home cleaning needs!

So far I have only used this to clean my toilet bowl but it works great for the job. A little goes a long way, start small and shake more if needed. I have a heavy hand and learned quickly that you don’t need a lot!

I was skeptical of this product but was encouraged by all the great reviews. So happy I decided to buy it! Love it! It cleans throughly and the peppermint tea tree is such a soothing smell. It really is peace of mind to know I am not breathing in harsh chemicals while cleaning. Also fabulous it is plastic free. I now understand why it is getting 5 stars! I already bought more and will continue to support this product.

This has such a pleasant scent when cleaning. I have used it on my 30+ year old tub with the non slip bottom that always gets grimy. It cleans so nicely with not much effort and leaves a light scent. I have tried using baking soda and vinegar in the past as my homemade cleaner so I am so very happy with this. Just a little bit is needed and it smells much nicer than the vinegar. I have also used it to clean my kitchen sink and my flat top stove and it works great for them as well.

This is such a wonderful product. The smell of natural cleansers is so much less harsh than something like windex, comet or fantasitk and still do a great job. The light but pleasant smell of this cleaner plus the scrubby and sudsiness make cleaning my bathroom a semi-enjoyable experience that I can walk away from without my nose hairs feeling like they’ve been singed by harsh, toxic chemicals. Love it.

I LOVE this stuff! I usually just use baking soda and vinegar but I decided to treat myself with this scrub and now I’m hooked. It smells amazing and it’s just really nice to clean the kitchen sink with. It motivates me to actually follow through with chores I don’t want to do.

I usually use baking soda and my all-purpose cleaner to scrub the bath, sinks, etc. but treated myself to this during the Earth day sale to try it out and it smells so nice! It motivates me to clean. The package is pretty small but a little product goes a long way so I think it’ll last me a long time.

Used this in my bathroom and it worked well and smelled even better. My bathroom smelled minty fresh instead of like a chemical when I was done. Instead of sprinkling it into the shower like the instructions said I found putting it on my spinge and wetting it to make a paste worked better.
