I was perusing the Parenting magazine recently and found this very interesting article on the safety of household cleaning products. 
Do you know that household cleaners are the number one cause of poisoning in children? What we don't realize is that when we are wiping countertops or scrubbing the bathtub with cleaning products, we are leaving behind chemical residues on the surfaces which may expose us and our children to hazardous and toxic chemicals.
As parents, we do our best to shelter our children from all the harm that is in the world. We may not be able to protect them from all of that is bad but certainly, subjecting them to toxic chemicals is one thing that we can prevent. That's why BabyGanics was created to offer a safer, healthier, and non-toxic alternative.
I have had the chance to use Babyganics for a couple months now and I can't tell you how secure it makes me feel that my kids are playing on the floor or touching surfaces on tables and they are no longer exposed to the harmful chemicals left behind by cleaning products that I use. BabyGanics are cleaning solutions made with organic, all-natural ingredients. It contains no pollutants, fillers or dyes and are 100% chemical free.
My two top favorites from the BabyGanics line are the All-Purpose House Cleaner and the Floor Cleaner- they make my kitchen countertops and floors sparkle! My next favorite would be the Glass & Surface Cleaner- wipes smoothly and leaves glass surfaces clean and streak-free.
All in all, I'd give Babyganics products two thumbs up- for how good they work, for their safety and affordability.
So if you have a choice of safer cleaning products that deliver great performance, why would you settle for the other kind?
BabyGanics products include the All-Purpose House Cleaner, Tub & Tile Cleaner, Glass & Surface Cleaner, Floor Cleaner, 3X Concentrate Laundry Detergent, Air Freshener and Odor Eliminator, and Foaming Dish Soap. You can purchase them at Babies 'R' Us, Bed Bath & Beyond or go to Babyganics.com and click the "Where To Buy" link to find a retailer nearest you.

You are so right. I know this shouldn't be a concern or whatever, but the price of the better stuff is usually what deters me. My budget is so tight!
I'll have to check these products out though!... thanks for sharing.
Ever since Aidan was born I only clean with soap and water and vinegar. I wonder if that stuff is available in Canada? I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
I like these product reviews Jocelyn. It's very helpful because I have kids and always on the lookout for kid friendly product.
I'm planning to be at Cathy's next Sat.

Nice review, very nice review and very nice product. I have spent too many years inhaling cleaning chemicals whilst scrubbing.
If only these products had been around a long time ago. Love to try them!
It's so nice to see companies coming out with chemical free products that can actually clean as well as those with chemicals. I've been thinking and worrying about the products I've been using all these years ever since I saw a story on one of the newsmagazine shows about how the chemicals get into our bodies. Thanks for the review on this brand. I had never heard of it before!

I read somewhere that SAHMs are more likely to get cancer than women who work outside the home. The reason stated was that SAHMs are constantly exposed to the chemicals in cleaning products. That scared me! I'd love to try these out!

I have heard of this product but we don't have a BRU close by so I haven't tried it yet.
We're in the process of selling our house, so I have to make sure it's spotless. With a baby in the house, I feel guilty using regular cleaning products. This stuff sounds great, though!

I really like kid safe products.
I wish I could clean with vinegar but my husband hates the smell so he won't let me! He insists that I buy the mainstream cleaners that "smell good"! Ugh. I just use them sparingly, that's the best I can do at the moment. But maybe these would pass his litmus test! I sure hope so!
These products sound interesting. I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the review AND the giveaway!
oh I love natural cleaning products and these would be great to use around Tristan!
i've tried these - they sound really good
This sounds like a great product line. I've never heard of them before. I'd love to try them. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have never heard of this brand but would love to try it. With almost 4 kids in the house I have been switching to much safer products but haven't found any I am in love with yet.
Those are great!!! I'd love to win!

I am slowly switching to safer products, as I run out of things. And although the cost could be a deterrent, it helps that I am doing gradually. Thanks for the review and the giveaway!
fingers crossed
I want to switch to safer cleaners, altho so far the ones I've tried I haven't been real impressed with. I guess these will be next on the list!
Wow - this sounds great! I'd love to use, and with a toddler and almost another toddler our house is always getting so dirty anymore. Please enter me to win. Thanks.

Sounds like some great products! Thanks for hosting the give-away!
I haven't tried any BabyGanics products yet, but as a new mom, I'm trying out some more natural cleaners. The All Purpose Cleaner sounds like a good one to start with!
I would love to start switching us over to more health-friendly products and this sounds like a good way to start.
Sounds great. I really need to switch over from the regular cleaning products I normally buy.
This sounds like a great product line! I'm always trying to find more natural cleaning products to use in my house.

After reading how many children are poisoned by household cleaners I immediately began switching my cleaning products to safer sources. I've been happy with Shaklee, but I'd love to give BabyGanics a try too!
I love the floor cleaner! I'd love to try the rest of the line!
I can use all this stuff

This looks perfect as I'm trying to use more green products for my house! Thanks for the opportunity to win these.
I'd love to try this. Ever since our dd was born, we've been trying to be better about our food, but it's important to be wary of cleaning products, too.
Would love to try these products!! :)
I am always on the hunt for good, safe baby products. I would love to check these out.
I use baking soda and vinegar for most cleaning these days, but I'm sure these products would be useful for some tough messes.
I'd love the peace of mind that must come from cleaning with these products.

I am always looking for organic products for my home. My son has asthma so I am very conscious of the products that I use in my home especially since the environment is pretty toxic. I will give this a try. Great post!
I never thought I would be so concerned about cleaning products until after our daughter was born. I am so much more aware of what I clean with for All of our sakes. Thanks for reviewing these products. I'd love to try these out and give a review on my site too.
Thanks for letting us know about another green product!
i love their cleaning products! the lavender smells sooo good!
Since I've had my daughter, I've been trying to find safer cleaning products. I would like to make my own, but don't have the time. These products look great!
I've been wanting to go green in the cleaning realm! Count me in, please!

I'd love to be able to use non-toxic cleaners, not only for my children's safety but for my own, I'm also 7 months preggo and I know they tell us to steer clear of using chemicals, but we have to clean!
Wow..this would actually be nice. Both my kids have very sensitive skin and my daughter (age 2) is always following me around and so quick to touch what I just sprayed on when I'm cleaning. I can't wait to try this out.
