Naturally, Cleaning Is Boring But It's Important To Clean Naturally | PL360 Review & Giveaway #MultiPetMania

6/9/2015

Typist: Bethany
Upon coming across any article with yet another new idea on the best way to clean naturally I usually conclude that it is safest for pets to just not clean at all. That conclusion lasts for about ten seconds when a giant wad of dog hair, cat fur, bird feathers and dust suddenly wafts past my face, blocking the view of the safe and natural cleaning article I was reading. Naturally, I have to clean. Keeping the floors, furniture, pet beds, cages, dishes and the pets themselves clean means we all stay happier and healthier. That is unless I cleaned with products containing chemical ingredients. Chemicals in the home are not healthy for dogs, cats and other pets but they can prove especially deadly to birds. I have always been very particular about what kinds of products I clean with, making the task of housecleaning even more excruciatingly time consuming. But the health of my pets, Jason and I is definitely worth both my research and physical labor time.
Naturally, cleaning is boring. Clean naturally. PL360 natural house cleaning and grooming products reiview and giveaway. #MultiPetMania
The truth about natural cleaning products is that sometimes they just don't work. I have tried more brands than I can even remember over the decades that I have been cleaning house naturally. It has been a pleasure to try the line of cleaning products from PL360, Ordor & Stain Remover, Fragrance-Free Cleaning Wipes and Multi Surface Cleaner. The brand also carries an Odor Neutralizing Carpet Powder but our home is completely free of carpet or rugs that can't be thrown in the washing machine. Not only are all the PL360 cleaning products safe for use around (not on) all the pets including extra sensitive Leo but the products actually work. The wipes removed Leo's extra moisture resistant feather dust from surfaces, the stain remover took a few stubborn dog drool stains off of my micro-suede couch and the multi surface spray easily tackled a greasy, cat trampled kitchen counter. The only ingredient in the PL360 products that slightly concerns me is methylchloroisothiazolinone or MIT (used as a PL360 preservative*) but my research showed that this biocide only has proven dangerous when applied directly to and left on the skin, like in cosmetic products or hand sanitizers. No matter how natural a cleaning product is, I would never apply it directly to any of the pets, so I trust that when used as instructed, PL360 products are safe.

Leo wonders what kind of messes he can make to put these PL360 products to the test.
We also received an assortment of PL360 grooming products. With the wide variety of dogs I share my life with, I am impressed with the wide variety of products PL360 offers. I chose three bottles, one for the individual issue each dog has. Wilhelm, who has the infamously typical dachshund skin, got Itch Relief Shampoo. The rough in rough collie means Huxley needs a whole lot of extra conditioning so he got All–In–One Shampoo & Conditioner and Brychwyn, the all-star rolling in poop and everything stinky Cascadian Nomads corgi, got Oatmeal Foaming Shampoo. The products all have a pleasantly light fragrance and, despite the fact that clean dogs do not mean I don not have to clean the house, are a wonderful addition to our natural cleaning routine.

Despite my best efforts to never clean the house, clean dogs, as much traveling as I can afford, aiming to be a full time nomad with no house, I know that as long as I share my life with pets, I will have to clean them and their surroundings. And since I always have and always will share my life with pets, cleaning it is. Cleaning naturally matters but I don't care to waste my time on products that don't work. I am thrilled to have been introduced to the PL360 line. Well, as thrilled as someone who is sitting next to a puddle of dog drool, typing on a keyboard with cat paw prints and just saw a feather float past on the floor can be. I guess I had better go clean...

*June 11th, 2015 UPDATE: After seeing this review, PL360 reached out regarding my MIT ingredient concern. I very much appreciate how much the company cares about the safety and effectiveness of their products. Such passionate product responsibility is yet another reason I highly recommend PL360 products. Here is what they had to say about MIT: "With natural products, especially those that contain high amounts of water, it is critical to product safety to keep them preserved to prevent microbial growth in the product. Microbial growth can potentially pose a higher risk to human and pet health than the low level of preservative in our products. Rest assured, we are continually looking at the profiles of preservatives and making the best choices possible for all of our products. Additionally, please know that all of our household products are tested by third-party clinics to ensure safety and efficacy"

Well, as you know, cats do stuff on their own terms. She just happen to jump up on the couch while I was setting up for the photo. It didn't last long but I got one! One with Huxley yawning but that prompted my funny text. The PL360 products are great!

I love your tagline....cleaning IS so boring! We'd rather be doing fun things. I think the company could use that! Do you work in marketing?
The photos are great too, especially the ones with Leo sitting on the products...perfect!

In all honesty, I hate marketing but since I have been self employed my entire adult life I ended up proficient at marketing myself and hence knowing a lot about marketing. Leo was surprisingly willing to pose with the products- things that don't smell bad (read: chemicals) are usually a-okay with him! It is the best endorsement for the PL360 line, for sure! Thanks for introducing this brand to us, Jan.
