I have a secret addiction

[The empressof all]

I know, I know----I am a sick sick puppy. But I'm addicted to expensive cleaning products. Please don't tell me I can clean everything in my house with ammonia and baking soda. I know.

It started off small. A few bottles of Method Brand cleaners, the Mint flavor Window Cleaner, and the Grapefruit for the bathroom counters were the start of my slip into the debauchery and seamy side of household upkeep. BUT NOW----I have had my Come to Jesus moment and have found the Holy Grail of all expensive cleaning products.

The Pineapple nutmeg flavor actually makes cleaning a sensual experience. White Clover is spring in a bottle. The Lavender Pine is amazing for all around cleaning.

Does anyone else here use these decadent products?

1. That's so funny! I love that stuff from Target ...

I've used the grapefruit cleaning spray & the tangerine dish liquid. They come in really cool bottles & smell great - can't help it ... I'm addicted, too.

2. Would I actually have to use them if I bought them?

I'm afraid I'd be more inclined to spend the extra money on a housekeeper rather than the products. I need to free up some time so I can watch soap operas and eat bon bons. ;)

9. Unfortunately

These indulgences of mine are still far less than a house cleaner. They do make it a little more bearable though

3. I use cleaning products with no bad chemicals

are your expensive products free of poisons? I have cats and don't want chemicals they can ingest while cleaning themselves.

4. They say they are all natural & environmentally safe

I have dogs-I haven't had a problem. They do have a strong scent so I find it helpful in odor control.

5. Oooooo noooo.

The stuff on that site looks awesome. I'm a cleaning freak, love doing laundry and I'm addicted to candles. Why oh why did you bring this website into my life? Sweat Pea laundry detergent ... I'm done.

6. I've never tried the Sweet Pea

I use the White Clover for towels and sheets only for special occasions. It's just too expensive for me. I buy the big bottles of cleaners and dilute them into spray bottles. This way it's actually affordable.

I've tried the Lavender Pine, The Patchoulli (it's very strong), the Pineapple Nutmeg and the White Clover which is very earthy.

I'm thinking about trying the White Tea next but I currently have too many of the others to justify a new purchase. Then again Xmas is coming and I just might indulge myself.

7. your addiction makes me feel better

i have a thing about paper towels, toilet paper and napkins. I only buy certain kinds, they cost a little bit more but are well worth it.

8. I have this thing with paper towels

I will not pay more than .69 for a roll but will (like you) only buy certain brands. When I find them on sale I buy massive quanitites and store them throughout the house. I panic when I'm running low on both paper towels and TP.
