Ecover Limescale Remover: A GREAT Green Cleaner

Ecover Limescale Remover – you have saved my lazy butt!  As you may recall from my last post on the ionator HOM, I am a disgusting, filthy woman. Because of my refusal to clean, we eventually got a green cleaning service. Alas, even their powers couldn’t remove the nasty hard water stains and limescale build-up in our glass shower in the master bath. After two years, I viewed the stains as an unintended privacy shield on the clear glass.  But, even I know when I’m making excuses for being gross.

I asked my green guru girlfriend and she suggested Borax mixed with some soap and elbow grease.  In the ionator HOM post, Sheila recommended microfiber cloths, water and elbow grease.  You may notice that both of these have something in common – elbow grease. Yeah, this is the reason why I don’t clean in the first place.  I do not like expending all of that energy on cleaning. Especially on that stupid bathroom. I know I sound like a spoiled brat. I get it. But I. Hate. Cleaning.

As I was strolling through Sunflower Market, I spotted Ecover Limescale Remover.

On the label it said that I could let it sit on the limescale, and then wipe off. Not one word about elbow grease. Sold.

To show you how well this product works, I have to bring great shame to my mother. Mom, I’m sorry that I am so gross.

Here is a photo of my shower, taken from the inside.

I know.  I know.

Next, I sprayed the Ecover Limescale Remover onto the glass.  No elbow grease was used by me. Just some trigger action with the finger. Then I sat there and watched it drip.

Now, look, you can see that there is stuff out there in the background. At this point, I was dancing with glee.

Next, I wiped it with a rag.

Now, there are still some spots in this photo, but it took me a few minutes to realize that they were on the outside. This is seriously the same spot as the first photo. The glass in this shower hasn’t been this clean in years.

I am in sweet, sweet love with Ecover limescale remover. It works and it required almost no effort on my part. That is the kind of cleaning that I can handle.

To find the closest Ecover retailer to you, you can use this handy tool on their website.  I believe that this was about $4.

Best Makeup Remover Ever.

Hi, I’m Finn and I’ll be posting here from time to time while Britt’s off conquering the world. Or shopping. Why? Because I’m a giver, a goddess, a saint. Plus, I love to shop probably as much as Britt does.

I hate makeup removers. I’m not kidding. I’ve never used them, mostly because I can’t stand being blinded while trying to get my mascara to come all the way off. And then I discovered Deep Cleansing Oil from DHC. And the clouds parted and the sun shone. I tried it, I love it and I’ve never looked back.

Deep Cleansing Oil is made from ultra-purified extra virgin olive oil and does exactly what it says it will do. It takes off every trace of mascara (yes, even waterproof), liner, foundation, lip stain, whatever, then rinses clean. Just cleanse as usual afterward. You won’t find a single black smudge on your towels ever. And you won’t be left with a greasy face either. Yet it doesn’t dry you out. I’ve always been on the oily side, but as I’ve gotten older I’m finding my face is getting drier. This stuff has worked for me through it all.

The best part? It lasts and lasts. Just a squirt on your hand at night will get all your makeup off the first time. The six-ounce bottle lasts me at least six months. Considering that, $25 for a bottle is not bad at all. You can also try a smaller, two-ounce bottle for $12.50.

I’m really fickle when it comes to things like cleansers and moisturizers because I’m easily dazzled by interesting packaging and wildly inaccurate effectiveness claims (despite the fact that I began my career as an advertising copywriter), so when I recommend something like this, you can rest assured I am crazy in love with it because it works. I’ve been using it longer than I can remember. If they ever discontinue this stuff, I’m hoarding it like a Today sponge. Try it. If you don’t like it, send it to me.

Legal nonsense: No consideration (that’s cash and/or product) was provided to me by DHC (or by anyone else for that matter). I’m simply a loyal customer who likes to share my finds with others. See the giver-goddess thing up top.
