Geranium, Fairies


I think we can all agree that Mrs. Meyer's cleaning supplies smell delicious. They do not leave your home smelling chemically, they do not leach toxic chemicals, and their packaging is simply lovely. But.

I bought some of the Geranium scouring powder on a whim awhile back. It was a lovely whim, full of pink packaging and pleasant scouring thoughts. Can I tell you something, dear reader? Geranium scouring powder does not smell delicious. It smells as though a My Little Pony left its sparkly droppings in the sink, or perhaps as though a fairy has perished in the garbage disposal. And, as everyone knows that fairies are immortal and My Little Ponies are unlikely to pooh, this is VERY BAD. Very bad indeed.

I wish you luck in your own sink-scouring adventures, and recommend Bon Ami or baking soda. It would not do to anger the fairies.

Love and kisses,
Amanda

This post made me laugh out loud. "It smells as though a My Little Pony left its sparkly droppings in the sink" INDEED! Thanks for making my morning a little giggle-ier.

Hee. I think we have the lavender. It smells fine to me from where I'm sitting -- on my ass -- as H-town scours the sink. Quite soothing, actually.

Amanda said...

Glad you got to giggle, Emma. Giggling is good.

Yes, I have the lavender, too, and it's lovely. I have the lavender hand and dish soaps, and the lemon verbena shower happiness. It's just the Geranium that's foul.

yep, I love the Mrs. Myers line, but the scrubbing powder is not nice. Soap, counter spray, steel spray all wonderful, but the powder, not so much. love the blog!
