Moms Have a Fighting Chance Against Cold Season With This Plant-Based Cleaner

You spill raw chicken on your counters just as your toddler is pulling up a chair with the adorable intention of baking cookies. A friend stops by and brings a sick child who leaves a sticky trail of germs all over the Legos and other toys.

A sick child of your own is the last thing you need. Wouldn't you love to be able to easily wipe all of that up instantly and erase that unseen layer of salmonella or germs so your child doesn't play in it?

Then you have to worry about the effects of all the chemicals required to do that. Resistant bacteria? Allergies? Toxins? 

You have to do something, though.

Check out these Benefect products. They are completely botanical, contain only food-grade elements, and they quickly kill 99% of bacteria.

Benefect Botanical Disinfectant Wipes

The easiest possible solution for that child-meets-raw-chicken-spill scenario is this container of Benefect Botanical Disinfectant Wipes ($43.95). The soft, cottony wipes — this is a big bucket of them — are soaked in botanical cleanser, ready to go. Wipe up that mess in seconds, kill the bacteria, and toss the entire toxic mess in the trash. Then set up your toddler with butter and chocolate chips. 

"I really find them so convenient for cleaning and disinfecting," Mare wrote in the reviews. "The lid is very well designed so that you can easily snap it off to adjust the roll or to push the end through the pop up. The pop up … lid is also tight so that you never have a situation where the wipes dry out just when you were counting on them for use. Big fan here."

Get some spray bottles, mix this with water, and get rid of all those harsh chemical cleaners — and the germs. The active ingredient in this Benefect Botanical Broad Spectrum Disinfectant ($45.95) is thyme oil. It's a terrific, natural disinfectant cleanser. In this gallon jar, it will contribute less plastic to the environment than using cleansers that come in smaller containers. It's 100% botanical and is highly recommended by professionals for getting rid of mold.

"I have a lot of chemical sensitivities," wrote KatieB in the reviews. "[I] had to cut all harsh chemicals out of my life. After much research, I'm so glad I had found this product. It does [its] job very well. I feel great using it, no issues with breathing it in as I'm working with it."

This little 4 oz. bottle of Benefect Disinfectant ($13.99) is a great way to try it out. It's also perfect for your car, baby bag, or other travel satchel so you can keep surfaces clean of bacteria for the baby — and yourself — while you are out and about.

Looking to replace your harsh chemicals with something natural, effective, and inexpensive? This Benefect Multi-Purpose Cleaner in a 1-gallon container might seem pricey at $54.99. But once you dilute it (it's concentrated) and put it in smaller bottles, you will likely find that it's much cheaper than what you've been using — and with less packaging.

This isn't as strong a disinfectant as the bottle above. It's a general, everyday cleaner that smells herbal and kills germs.

"Love. Love. Love," wrote one reviewer. "Natural and doesn't smell like chemicals. Love this product and the Disinfectant as well."

Spills in the carpet? Smoke in your curtains? Mold on the couch? These are challenges to clean and, often, situations where we turn to harsh chemicals. But Benefect Impact Cleaner for Carpet and Fabric ($43.95) will get the job done, according to professional cleaners and many others, even when harsh chemicals won't.

"Took my full length wool coat out of the cellar, and it had mold on it," explained HHitch in the reviews. "Two different dry cleaners told me to throw it away, it was unsalvageable. A mold guy told me to try this. What did I have to lose? Filled my tub with warm water and measured out some Impact cleaner. Mixed it up and soaked my wool coat for five minutes. Rinsed several times and hung to dry. GONE!! I am allergic to mold, so if it was still there, just invisible to my eye, I would have known. Just gone. Saved a $300 coat. I'm keeping this stuff around forever!"
