Clean Up Your Act

The Bite

Is the sad state of your kitchen (we know petrified cereal when we see it) making your pad less than seductive? Winnetka-based Earth Friendly Products, from the peeps behind Ecos cleaning supplies, is gearing up for spring with a new batch of scrubs, including all-natural, petrochem-free silver polish, laundry detergents with soy-based fabric softener, and lemongrass-scented dish soap. We’re planning to get in the (cleaning) mood with the new Kitchen Starter-Kit, a caddy packed with dish soap, parsley-scented countertop spray, fruit-’n’-veggie wash, and essential-oil hand soap. So let the spring scrubbing begin - no doubt your sink isn’t the only dirty thing in your house.
