| Honest Pet - Ryu the Pup. |
Earlier this month I got an email from the Honest Co with $10 free dollars to spend - on top of that it was free shipping over $50 dollars. After debating if I should use this opportunity to try the Honest products - I finally decided to go for it.
Now before I get to my review of the products - let me explain my hesitation.
1. Shipping: I dont know how I feel about paying $8 - $10 dollars on top of my bill to ship products to my home when I can get similar products at Whole Foods/Target. Granted with this free shipping over $50 dollars - I wouldn't have to pay for it - but I was not sure I would get over $50 dollars.
2. Quality: Since I had never used this brand before - I wasn't sure if the products would be any good? There is a trial pack that you get from the Honest Co - and even though that is free - you still have to pay 6.95 for standard shipping. Now for me that isn't worth it to get trial size products.
3. Monthly packages: Since there are only 2 people (including me) and a dog in my household - I really don't have a need for the bundle packages yet and most of the deals they come out from the Honest Co are bundle related which makes sense when you have a family - I am just not there yet.
After looking at the website for over 30 minutes trying to decide what to order I picked the following:

With this line up I was able to get to free shipping by spending over $50 dollars and I used my 10 dollars off making my purchase around 48.00 dollars. Within minutes my order was processed and by the next day I got a notification saying it shipped. Shortly after it was on my door step.
Now for my review of the products:
Floor Cleaner: This stuff is magical!!! I have a 4 month old pup (which you should know by now I am obsessed with) and although he is potty trained - on occasion he will miss the potty pad by a few centimeters or it will leak through the pad (if it was a big pee). This not only causes the whole apartment to smell but the hardwood floor in the kitchen had a permanent discoloration and smell to it - even when I would clean it daily using everything from green generation wipes to Clorox bleach wipes to home made recipes of baking powered and vinegar. I bought the floor cleaner with the intent to use it on the floor in this area and to sub in for my Swiffer wet wipes. When I got the package I immediately ripped it open and sprayed the floor cleaner on/around the potty area. Not only does this product not have any toxic chemicals - it has a wonderful smell to it. I left the spray on the area for about 3 - 5 minutes and then wiped it up with a paper towel. The pee smell was 75% gone and so was the discoloration to our floor! As I continue to use it daily to clean our hardwood floors - the smell is 100% gone and I can say this item is critical in getting my deposit back when I decide to move out. Because I use this item so much - I am looking for a Swiffer like item to help wipe up the area. Currently I am using paper towels but ideally I would like to use something a little more eco friendly going forward.
Laundry Detergent: I have not used this yet as I am just finishing my Ecos detergent up.
Dryer Cloths: Similar to my take on the floor cleaner - this is magical!!! Not only does it not have a strong scent or irritate my skin (like other brands do) these dryer cloths actually work! They make my clothes very fluffy! And as odd as it sounds - the lint that comes out of my dryer is fluffier and thicker than before - so I know its working!
Conditioning Mist: Now I am a girl that uses expensive shampoo and buys expensive hair products - with that said - my previous detangler was made by Bumble and Bumble which I loved however it is hard to justify the price tag on a detangler... Now knowing the quality of my standard products - I have to admit the Honest Co product works just as well and smells better! I am not sure how long the bottle will last me - as it is semi small. But I will def be ordering this again - probably along with the shampoo to try!
Overall I am extremely happy that I ordered these products from the Honest Company and I cant wait to try more of the line. In regards to my hesitations - 1. you really cant help the shipping cost unless you find a deal the website - so keep your eye out! 2. The quality of the products are top notch and justify spending the extra money to have the items shipped to you. You really cant find many other products on the market like this. 3. I would use this when I have a family - but for me it is not practical at this time.
Love Love Love. I rate this a must try!
