closed GIVEAWAY: Seventh Generation Laundry Products
7:30 AM
Well, there are only a few things I like better than a good giveaway, and there are only a few things my husband likes better that a good experiment, so I was super excited when I was asked to do this giveaway/review/experiment!
Before I explain the experiment and the prize pack, let me tell you a bit about Seventh Generation (I am quoting from the information I was sent):
So, to conduct my own experiment, Seventh Generation through MyBlogSpark sent me a prize pack including 2 identical test t-shirts, a black light, and Seventh Generation liquid laundry products. I was asked to then wash one shirt in my normal laundry detergent and the other in the provided Seventh Generation laundry products. Well, check out the results (remember the shirt looking light means it DOES have optical brightners):
As you can see, my Conventional Laundry detergent is brighter under the black light and thus contains optical brightners. Seventh Generation does not! Now, I was really excited to try this experiment out and to see these results! You can learn more about the Seventh Generation Laundry Products here and you can sign up for their newsletter here.
You can click here to print a coupon for $1 off Seventh Generation Liquid laundry products.
AND one LUCKY Beckeesdeals reader will win a prize pack of their own from Seventh Generation with a set of Seventh Generation laundry products:
Here is how to enter the Giveaway (PLEASE make sure to leave an email address in each comment so I can reach you should you win):

Before I explain the experiment and the prize pack, let me tell you a bit about Seventh Generation (I am quoting from the information I was sent):
Did you know that the laundry detergent you may be using could contain little-known chemicals called optical brighteners? And According to scientific research, these can cause allergic reactions, are toxic to small fish and other aquatic life, and can pollute your waterways.
When ultraviolet light hits optical brighteners coating your clothing, the brighteners convert UV rays into visible light to create an optical illusion. This tricks the eye into thinking the clothing is whiter and brighter, and therefore cleaner than it really is.
So how can you avoid these optical brighteners? Seventh Generation makes it easy because their laundry detergents are not only free of optical brighteners, but they´re also non-toxic . In addition, because Seventh Generation liquid laundry detergents are both hypo-allergenic and biodegradable, you can rest easy knowing you made a considerate choice for your family and the environment.
So, to conduct my own experiment, Seventh Generation through MyBlogSpark sent me a prize pack including 2 identical test t-shirts, a black light, and Seventh Generation liquid laundry products. I was asked to then wash one shirt in my normal laundry detergent and the other in the provided Seventh Generation laundry products.

We routinely use Lysol/Clorox wipes to wipe down light switches, door knobs, keyboards, etc. And I keep hand soap by every faucet in the house! We also open the windows just a bit every so often to clean the air inside the house during the winter months.
