Spring Cleaning with The Amazing WhipIt

We will begin today's post with a confession. I don't like cleaning. Not on a boat, not with a goat, not here nor there, not anywhere.

Yet, when Our Daily Green was invited to test a line of cleaning products? We jumped at the chance. Like it or not, you still must clean your home. And what better way to do it than by testing a product "As Seen On TV" ?

I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for infomercials. They make everything seem so easy and doable. Convincing, too! I was sure that Whip It would make me think I had a personal butler.

Well, to go with truth in advertising, no, that didn't happen. I still had to scrub and wipe and scour my home. But that's okay, because it worked! Seriously, what is more frustrating than cleaning? Cleaning and finding out your product didn't work. As someone who regularly writes about "green" products, with natural ingredients, I must also confess that I typically put certain products (like those for glass) in the 20% bin. The part I am not going to get right. Because most glass cleaners that do not contain toxic ingredients like ammonia don't accomplish the goal.

I put Whip It to the test. My glass shower. This glass has to contend with soap scum on one side and hairspray on the other. I ask a lot of my glass shower doors and I did not anticipate that Whip It would prevail. (aside: that didn't stop me from singing a song from the 80s that copyrights prevent me from sharing, but imagine me with a red flower pot on my head as I sing about the product).

I have spent this past week cleaning my home. I have tested laundry, surfaces, and the holy grail of cleaning, glass.

Whip It lives up to the hype. I propose this: Buy some. If you order online, please tell them you didn't see it on TV, but you did see it on Our Daily Green. Show us some love. Show them some love. They sent me a box of stuff to try and I liked everything! I did! My house smells pretty, my shower walls sparkle, and I didn't use toxic things to make that happen.

I don't even have the magic of really good photography, just a real person, with less than perfect photos to share. I took some before I cleaned, and after. And heck yeah, it's nice. And isn't toxic. And makes you sing songs from the 80s if you're a certain age.

In other words, Whip It, Whips it good.

Disclosure: Whip It sent me a box of their cleaning supplies to test. It inspired me to clean. I don't like cleaning, but I like the results. If you don't like to clean but you like seeing results, we strongly endorse this product.
