Give me your input and you could win a Autumn Comfort Candle


As some of you know I have been starting some work on a small line of natural cleaning products. Some of the recipes are ones that I have been using to clean my house for a while. What I need your help with is deciding what type of products in particular should I focus on offering? For example I use natural laundry soap, a natural all purpose cleaner, dish soap and a granite cleaner for my kitchen counters. I was also considering a simple carpet powder, a room spray and and maybe a window cleaner. So post a comment below listing the most common natural cleaners you would like to have and include your email address by Saturday April 18th and you could win a 8oz soy candle in the scent of your choice.I will announce the winner early next week and send an email to find out what address you would like you candle shipped to.
