happy mother's day: your mom's new best friend

No one likes housework...so this Mother's Day, make this chore a little easier with Bon Ami’s “green” cleaning products. Biodegradable, hypo-allergenic and sustainable (even the containers are all made from 100% post-recycled materials), Bon Ami products can be used on strollers, car seats, bathtubs and everyday appliances. There are no harsh chemicals or toxins plus a Free + Clear scent-free (really!) version or refreshing Tangerine Thyme – a natural fusion of mandarin, tangerine, orange, thyme and clove (I love that my apartment smells so fruity!). The citrus oils provide a natural grease-cutting boost, while thyme and clove brighten spirits. (Your mom might even find herself whistling while she works!) Spring for the All-Purpose Cleaner ($2.99), Dish Soap ($3.79), Liquid Cleanser ($3.39) and Powder Cleanser ($1.19) at www.BonAmi.com.
