If you’ve been around Mother Necessity for awhile you might have already heard about OSM, Inc and their wonderful line of eco-friendly products. I am happy to say that OSM, Inc is a sponsor for the upcoming Shake, Rattle, and Roll event! If you missed out last time you’re not completely out of luck! I got to try out and review a few different products to help with cleaning and greening your nursery.

I was sent a 2 oz and a 24 oz bottle of Dragonfly Organix Odor Eliminator which I reviewed previously here. I still love it, and use it quite often. I’m glad that I have two small bottles now so I can have one per bathroom (oh yes, it works wonders for airborne smells too). I love that it doesn’t have a heavy scent so you don’t have to run out of the room after spraying it. There’s just a slight citrus smell and then… nothing. Nothing meaning there’s no more icky smell too! As the name states, it eliminates the odor (at least most of it), it doesn’t cover it up. Since it’s made from plant based materials you don’t have to worry about breathing in nasty chemicals too!

I also received a 2 oz and a 24 oz bottle of their Stain Remover which is USDA Biopreferred. It uses enzymes to remove all sorts of stains, and since it’s enzyme based, you don’t have to rinse or wash it off before you use the item again. I regret that I haven’t been thoughtful enough to actually spray a fresh stain. I tried it on a set in stain, but I think it probably works best on a fresh one. I read that it works well for grout too so I tried it on my white grout with good success without much scrubbing (and let me tell you, it was rather dirty as you can see in the photo). I’m going to stick the small bottle in the diaper bag and hopefully I’ll remember to whip it out next time Angelo eats BBQ or spaghetti before his clothes turn permanently orange!

As you can see, dirty on the left clean on the right. Now to do the rest of it...

I was interested in trying out the Hand Sanitizer the most I think, because I read that it doesn’t contain alcohol. Having worked for years in the medical field, I’ve seen my fair share of hand sanitizers. I hated using them as they dried my hands out and made my skin feel sticky. I avoided them if at all possible. Dragonfly Organix Hand Sanitizer dispenses with a foaming pump which I liked, and doesn’t leave any sticky residue on your hands. It dries very quickly with no filmy feeling either. There’s not really any scent at all which is great, no overpowering alcohol scent or lemony scent like the ones I used at work. It’s also USDA Biopreferred. I didn’t notice it drying out my hands either which I really liked.

Last, I tried out a 24 oz bottle of No-Rinse Floor Cleaner. I love that you don’t have to rinse it off, and that there isn’t any icky chemicals left after I use it especially since Angelo persists in trying to eat food off of the kitchen floor. It was interesting to use this product because you simply spray it on then wipe the floor clean. I’ve only ever used a sponge/bucket approach (okay, I do have a Swiffer too but just for when I was hugely pregnant). I really liked the spray and wipe approach. Less waste, it dried really quickly, and no nasty bucket of water to dump at the end. The only problem was rinsing the sponge clean mid way through cleaning. There also isn’t much of a smell happening with this product (as I’ve noticed with most of OSM, Inc’s products) which I appreciate. I used it in my kitchen on vinyl and in the bathroom on tile floor with equally good results.

Overall, I highly recommend OSM, Inc’s products and will continue using them in my home. I really appreciate that all of their cleaning products are safe to use around children and pets, and I also like that they’re environmentally friendly. I’ve really enjoyed trying out these products and making my home just a bit greener.
