As business owners with a young family, having a clean space for our guests is essential to us.
We know laundry. Having three young children, pets, and a Bed and Breakfast, we have a lot of laundry to do on a regular basis. It’s essential that we are able to keep our laundry and linens looking bright, feeling fresh and smelling clean.
For laundry, we use Dropps. The pods come in a variety of scents and sensitivities. We use low-scent, sensitive skin laundry pods and ox-booster pods to keep our linens clean and smelling fresh.
Not only do the products help us keep our clothes and linens clean, they also have a lighter impact on the environment. The products are non-toxic, use less water and contribute less carbon emissions and plastic to landfills.
Not only do they provide the cleaning products, but also the tools themselves to get the job done. This year, we switched to Swedish Dish Cloths, in an effort to reduce our use of paper towels. These absorbent cloths are reusable and take the job out of cleaning. You can pop them in the dishwasher or washing machine and put them back to work the next day.
By switching to Dropps, you can have a clean house and emit less pollution, carbon emissions and reduce environmentally harmful plastics. What’s not to love about that?
We also like to support local businesses as much as possible! Our guest rooms in the B&B have hand soap from Vermont Soap Company. Most of the products made by Vermont Soap are certified to USDA organic standards by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF), the certification program of NOFA-VT.
Not only do they make great hand soaps and toiletry products, but they also have gift baskets and specialty items like scent-free personal care and sensitive skin pet cleaning supplies. For years, we have given friends and family members specialty soaps and sprays as a gift basket. The scents are subtle and the hand-feel is clean, so we love sharing the experience and helping people remember us with each use.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself, for your household or for a friend, these products make great gifts that just keep giving.
Do you have a cleaning product that you love? We would love to hear about it!
