I love the baby detergent... my daughter has very sensitive skin, and hasn't had any breakouts since we started using it.

The Method microfiber cloths work great on each of the different surfaces that go with their cleaner counterparts. Using a microfiber cloth on my windows, mirrors, and appliances is the only thing I have tried that gets them clean and streak- free with the least amount of effort.

How about that Peppermint Vanilla dish soap! The smell is INCREDIBLE!

By  Seeryusfam@msn.com, at 4/16/2008 4:16 PM  

I love the hand soap, with its great fragrances, and the laundry detergent.

By  Melissa, at 4/16/2008 4:28 PM  

We love the stainless steel polish and the microfiber cloth. The polish makes out stainless glow and the cloth can be tossed into the washer after every 2nd use or so.

I love, love, love the wipes, especially the grapefruit ones! I always worried about what was in the wipes that could harm my baby, now I don't wonder and I don't worry! The scents are just wonderful!

I know it's not the most glamorous thing, but they make a eucolyptus scented toilet cleaner that's pretty awesome.

I love the shower cleaner that you spray on and leave on. It has ylang ylang in it and it leaves my whole bathroom smelling wonderful.

I am turned on to everything Method! It's hard to pick a favorite. My kids love the hand soap - they love the fragrances and it's not too harsh on their sensitive skin. I love the stainless steel wipes and their counter cleaners.

By  dianag, at 4/17/2008 5:56 AM  

I love the all purpose spray which smells like peppermint. Makes cleaner a bit nicer.

By  dcala, at 4/17/2008 6:08 AM  

I've only used the all purpose bathroom cleaner. I like that it doesn't have a harsh smell and that your skin doesn't feel weird if you happen to get it on you.

By  lace, at 4/17/2008 6:54 AM  

I love the pink grapefruit dish soap-yummy!!

By  Ursula, at 4/17/2008 6:59 AM  

The pink grapefruit dishsoap as well but after going to their site, I'm now going to need to try out the Le Scrub for the tub.

Thanks,

By  Maureen, at 4/17/2008 7:04 AM  

I love the dryer clothes - they make my clothes smell so good and feel so soft. But I also love the hand soap, because that's what I use more than anything. The delicious hollyberry scent! Yum!

By  Mommy, at 4/17/2008 7:12 AM  

I just started using their products and love their All Surface cleaner in the Cucumber scent and the wood floor cleaner with almond scent. Cleaning is a lot more fun when you like the smell of the cleaners, and they aren't burning your nose! :)

By  searchingforcreativity, at 4/17/2008 7:13 AM  

Where do I even start? I love the pink grapefruit all purpose cleaner - I use it on almost everything and don't worry about it. I love the cucumber toilet wipes - my husband has become quite acquainted with those. I love the handsoap. I am really excited about their new line.

Very actually! I should receive this prize and present its my niece!

By  Ludmilochka, at 4/17/2008 7:41 AM  

My favorites include the foaming hand soap, almond floor cleaner & cloth, and dish soap. If only they had lotion in a pump (for after you wash your hands!)

I would love to try the baby products, especially the baby 3 in 1 wash.

By  melonkelli, at 4/17/2008 8:28 AM  

I registered for the baby stuff and have loved the baby laundry detergent for a few years now with the first little guy.

It's tough to choose, but my favorite Method products are the wipes... the furniture, the stainless... all of them.

By  Patty, at 4/17/2008 9:05 AM  

I'm probably one of the very few who hasn't used method home products yet, but they sound wonderful ~ and safe to use! *Thanks* for the giveaway.

fave method products = their free and clear line. Most products are over scented and we prefer the "open window, fresh air" smell.
Stephanie V.

By  tvollowitz@aol.com, at 4/17/2008 10:22 AM  

I haven't used these products before but looking at the site I like the idea of the detox kit/set, my house could use some "safe" detoxing with a baby crawling around! Thanks for the giveaway!

By  gunzie, at 4/17/2008 10:46 AM  

I like having the hand sanitizer available when we are out. I like that it's triclosan free too :)

By  stampedwithgrace, at 4/17/2008 11:13 AM  

Oh I LOVE the mint window wash...love that smell, the almond wood floor cleaner those are my fav.

By  Danielle, at 4/17/2008 11:16 AM  

ok, so i LOVE it all, and they all smell so stinkin fresh - can i say stinkin? anyway, but my fav is the dish soap that smells like lavender. and i am looking forward to their baby products with much anticipation!

By  katherine, at 4/17/2008 11:27 AM

I have only used Method hand soap and I loved it - I would love to try more of their products because they seem to smell nice, work well, and be good for you :)

I have never used Method's products, but I have to say I'm sold on them now. I can't wait to try out their products, ESPECIALLY the new baby line (I'm due with my first in June)!

I love the Method leather wipes - I have two leather ottomans and these wipes keep them looking brand new! I have a 10 month-old baby girl and I would love to try these new products! Please pick me!
-Lindsey L.

By  LittleFam, at 4/17/2008 12:21 PM  

Hands down! It's the liquid hand soaps our family loves. They all smell very pleasant, but they also help keep our family healthy.

By  yune, at 4/17/2008 12:31 PM  

I like the hand soap and the aroma pill but my very favorite is the O-Mop and wood floor cleaner. Almond scent almost makes mopping less of a chore...

By  Naomi, at 4/17/2008 1:04 PM  

The everyday liquid hand soap "go naked" is this family's favorite. Not at all harsh on our sensitive skin--and we are ALWAYS washing our hands!

By  Li'l MG, at 4/17/2008 1:18 PM  

I like Method stainless steel cleaner and any products with the grapefruit scent. I like Method but I wish they'd publish and be more open about their ingredients. I had a friend with leukemia who couldn't use them b/c there wasn't enough disclosure on use of petroleum based ingredients. Just some feedback for them!

By  jwong, at 4/17/2008 1:46 PM  

I must admit I am yet to try method - even though they always catch my eye in the store and I love the organic aspect

By  Shelly, at 4/17/2008 3:35 PM  

I love love love the wood floor cleaner. It smells so clean without smelling like pine!

By  Holly O., at 4/17/2008 3:49 PM  

I Love the hand soap. Smells so yummy!

By  StaceyQ, at 4/17/2008 4:26 PM  

i love the other method cleaning products so i can't wait to try these out.

These products sound great! I would like to make up a gift basket using them for a shower gift. I know the new mom would love them.

By  Betty N, at 4/17/2008 6:10 PM  

I love Method's Go Naked wipes for the house - I use them to clean everything and they work really well. They even got mushy teething biscuit goo off on my toddler's exersaucer! I also like the Go Naked hand wash - we have a bottle at every sink in the house.
-Nicole

By  Nicole G, at 4/17/2008 8:31 PM  

I didn't know much about Method when I bought my cleaner. I was simply looking for something that was more natural and fragrance free. I love using it to clean my bathroom and not ending up with a headache from the fumes and smell of other cleaners (as I am super sensitive to smell) It even beats out the Clorox Green works that I won. I will continue to buy it and I would love to try the baby products!

I love the all purpose bathroom stuff! I try to make up my own eco friendly cleaning stuff most times but when I want to treat myself I usually get method cause I can still feel good about the non scary chemicals!

pancake(underscore)squirrel(at)yahoo(dot)com

By  you big baby!, at 4/17/2008 11:03 PM  

My fav is the mint window wash. Mmmmm, how I love to wash my windows! And the almond 'wood for good' floor cleaner, I have turned SO many people on to that one.

I love the idea of green, safe products for baby...I love the hand soap and the dish soap. With new baby on the way this product would be much appreciated and used.

By  Carpenters, at 4/18/2008 1:57 PM  

The aroma beads look very cool...between the cats and the toddler, I'd love to find something eco-friendly to subtly provide a more welcoming fragrance in the house.

By  Mama Luxe, at 4/18/2008 7:28 PM  

My favorite products from Method are : The Al-purpose spray. It works fantastic and the french lavender scent beats pine-sol anyday and The Foaming handwash. It works great and its safe for my kids. We got thru alot of the stuff around here.

By  Steph, at 4/19/2008 8:26 AM  

I love the shower cleaner, it's so easy to use. "I hate to cean the shower"

By  mverno, at 4/19/2008 8:34 AM  

This is my first introduction to the products but after reading what others who have used them are saying, I am really excited about them.

By  Betty N, at 4/19/2008 8:37 AM  

I love the Method handsoap - the scents, colors, and containers!!

I had no idea Method made other items!!!

By  louiseb130, at 4/19/2008 9:24 AM  

the detergent due to sensitive skin.

By  Shannon, at 4/19/2008 9:28 AM  

I haven't had the pleasure of using it yet. I've been using vinegar and water to clean, but I'm always on the lookout for great eco-friendly products!!!

By  Mya, at 4/19/2008 9:32 AM  

I love Method's All Purpose Cleaner. I can clean counters, doorknobs, dvd players anything really and its not at all toxic to little bodies.

By  Anonymous, at 4/19/2008 9:36 AM  

I love the method detergent. It cleans just as well and I use so much less of it!

By  Meredith, at 4/20/2008 1:34 AM  

With a new grandson, I would love to try the baby detergent, I certainly don't want any chemicals on his precious little body.

By  sweetsue, at 4/20/2008 6:18 AM  

I don't have access to method products in a local store. I would love to try them, though. Maybe I can get my local coop to start carrying Method products.

My favorite would have to be th pink grapefruit dish soap. I love that smell!!!

By  imjasonc, at 4/20/2008 8:00 AM  

Dishwasher cubes--but I don't know if they make them anymore. I haven't been able to find them lately, and I miss them terribly!

By  jennem, at 4/20/2008 9:56 AM  

I love the 3-n-1 wash!

By  Brooke, at 4/20/2008 10:34 AM  

I've been using their all-purpose cleanser lately. I like that I can use it in every room, so it ends up saving me money (and saving packaging from having a ton of different products).

By  Kait, at 4/20/2008 1:56 PM  

We use the all purpose spray and love it.

By  miriama, at 4/20/2008 4:33 PM  

I love the ginger floor cleaner, the peppermint hand soap from the holidays, and the window cleaner. All of the products are great and I am never disappointed by Method.

By  MamaFeelgood, at 4/20/2008 5:35 PM

By  Bonggamom, at 4/20/2008 10:17 PM

I use all Method products in my home, my husband is very sensitve to cleaner smells and Method products are not only eco-friendly but husband friendly.

By  Angela, at 4/21/2008 5:38 AM  

I love, love the Method cucumber dish soap. Tons of frothy bubbles, super scent, great product!

By  Kari, at 4/21/2008 5:42 AM  

Method brand makes great cleaning peroduct.

By  silverbele, at 4/21/2008 6:39 AM  

I raelly like the stainless steel cleaner. Competing products can be pretty toxic.

By  Brian, at 4/21/2008 7:31 AM  

I really love the everywhere surface cleaner, especially in Cucumber. I'm starting to associate the scent of Cucumber with a clean house!

I made the change over to method because I have 2 children under the age of 3 and the baby puts *everything* in his mouth- he'll even bite the edge of the table. I don't want any chemical cleansers used on surfaces where the boys can reach, so no now I've switched almost completely to Method. Even my husband loves it!

By  beyondhomemaking, at 4/21/2008 7:56 AM  

Wow. I have so many faves!

Their HandSoap is AWESOME! It is not too harsh on my hands and I love the "sea minerals" fragrance. The regular is in my kitchen and the foamy is in DD's bathroom. It's easier for her to use.

Their kitchen and AP cleaners are fantastic and they smell divine.

Hubs has bad allergies to detergents so we use the Free and Clear laundry detergent. We started using that over 2 years ago and love it. We didn't use baby detergent because this was so gentle for my kiddos clothes.

I just read about the baby products the other day and I would love to try them!

Thanks for the fantastic giveaways!

By  Christy, at 4/21/2008 8:15 AM  

I am finally getting my boys to wash their hands after the restroom thanks to the wonderful liquid hand soap.

By  idahomom, at 4/21/2008 8:19 AM  

I like the hand soap because I don't have to worry about my son not rinsing it well enough.

By  Hélène, at 4/21/2008 9:09 AM  

I LOVE Method products! I especially like the hand soaps and the kitchen cleaners 'cause I have little ones in the house and I don't have to worry about how the harsh chemicals are affecting them...

By  jen, at 4/21/2008 9:44 AM  

I love the Hand Sanitizer! Can't have enough.

By  mogrill, at 4/21/2008 9:53 AM  

I like the dish soap and hand soap. They smell great - and are earth-friendly!

By  Carmen, at 4/21/2008 10:23 AM  

I have not had the opportunity to try the method products yet, but I am headed to the store this week!

By  milkgoddess, at 4/21/2008 10:49 AM  

I like the handsoaps because (don't laugh) I really like the shape of the container.
