Cleaning Subscription Review

YVY Naturals

YVY has 3 cleaners, all purpose, kitchen, and bathroom. They sent me their all purpose cleaner to review and I’m loving it. It has a great citrus scent and worked well on every surface that I tried it on. It was easy to insert the pod in the spray bottle. Since the spray bottle is reusable you just get pods every month. Less waste already, and they have a way for you to mail back your old pods and they can reuse them, reducing waste even further.

Just think of all the plastic I’m saving by using and returning empty pods for recycling!

You can purchase just once, or join a subscription for $20 every 30, 45, or 60 days. Your choice. Pause or cancel any time. Pretty simple! You can choose a home kit with all 3 cleaners. This kit comes with 3 bottles and 6 pods (2 of each). Or, pick a kit of just one cleaner type. This kit comes with 1 bottle and 6 pods. Then you get 6 pods every subsequent subscription cycle – so you only get a bottle when you sign up. Once you have collected 30 empty capsules, you just let them know and they’ll take them back for recycling.

I love that I can clean and reduce waste at the same time.

Their products are made with 100% natural citrus and amazonian botanicals, so no harsh chemicals when you’re cleaning. I love something that clean well but it’s still ok for me to breathe it in while I’m cleaning!

Trumans

I’ve only used their surface cleaners, but they have dishwasher soap, laundry soap, and toilet cleaner as well. My favorite is the “more shower to you” spray. These cleaners also come with 1 bottle per cleaner and refill pods. These are my favorite spray bottles to clean with. They’re comfortable to hold and spray really well.

They have window cleaner, kitchen cleaner, shower cleaner, and all purpose cleaner. It looks like they’re revamping their surface cleaners subscription because I don’t see that one available at the moment. These are also non-toxic and I can clean all day with these without them bothering me. Not having to turn on the bathroom vent just to be able to breathe while I clean is nice!

And the way my kids like to use ALL the spray in the bottle when they clean, it’s super easy to just have some refill pods on hand and reload my cleaner when needed.

After using both of these cleaners, I really can’t pick a favorite. YVY is a bit stronger smelling but it also cleans a little better. But Trumans has almost no scent and is super easy to clean with. They’re both terrific option if you’re looking for a more natural cleaner with less waste. Of course, if you’re like me, I like to have both options on hand to fit my cleaning mood for the day!

The Foundary has a Great Return Policy

I shop a lot of different sample sale sites, it lets me get things that I wouldn’t otherwise buy at prices I’m willing to pay. My most recent experience was with The Foundary. I ordered a pendant light for my bathroom. It was only $30, well $35 with shipping, but still a great price considering the cost of all the other pendant lights I’ve liked.

Their shipping is really fast, so I got this in under five days. Unfortunately, when it was delivered the glass globe on the light was broken. I’ve received broken stuff from sample sale sites before, Billion Dollar Babes is the one I’ve had trouble with in the past. Their return policy is terrible and I was expecting the same experience with The Foundary. Imagine my surprise when I discovered an easy to fill out form on the Foundary’s site.

I filled out the form, and requested a replacement product (I really like this light so I was willing to try again). Within 15 minutes I had received an e-mail confirming my return, and telling me to just keep my broken one and donate it to charity – no need to ship it back. And 15 minutes after that I received another e-mail confirming that my replacement product had been ordered and would be shipped soon.

I received my new light today in one piece – barely a week since my original order. And I couldn’t be happier! Now I’m off to add “Hang Bathroom Light” to my husband’s todo list.
