Just about everywhere you look, there is an advertisement for Grove Collaborative. I love the awareness they are bringing to the importance of using clean, eco-friendly products. Grove definitely makes going green appealing with their aesthetically pleasing products.
I decided to put the Grove Brand products to the test. I did my routine cleaning for 1 month to see how these products compared to my normal chemical cleaners...Is it worth it to switch over to green products?
ITEMS WORTH REBUYING
Room Spray Concentrate + Reusable Room Spray Bottle Set: $12.95
Stargazing
Smells amazing
Spray bottle is aesthetically pleasing and has a good spray
Actually gets rid of odors
Scent is long lasting
"Homemade" Room Spray Concentrate: $5.95
Homemade
Scent is so warm and inviting
100% Recycled Plastic Trash Bags - 13 Gallon: $6.95
I compared these to Glad ForceFlex and these held up. I had 1 bag rip (at the top by the drawstrings) on me. I put that particular bag to the test. It was extremely full. For me, it passed. I was still able to make it to the dumpster without spilling trash.
Lavender & Rosemary
Just the Laundry Detergent (33 loads): $9.95
Scent is so nice...warm, clean, fresh. Long lasting on your clothes.
I compared this to the Kirkland brand detergent (which I swear by and have used for years). It did just as well. All stains & smells were removed.
Multi-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate: $6.95
Orange & Rosemary
Scent is very clean and fresh smelling.
This spray is awesome. It actually beat out the chemical multipurpose sprays. Stuck on food, grease...it took all of it right off. I used this on my countertops, glass table, stainless steel, bathrooms...everywhere. I was very impressed with this one.
ITEMS I WON'T BE REPURCHASING
Just to clarify: I really don't have anything negative to say about these products. Your really can't go wrong with any of these. However, I will not be repurchasing because I have either found a better option or don't have a use for it.
Hand Soap Glass Dispenser: $13.95
Visually appealing
My pump get stuck easily
Expensive.
Free & Clear
The scent is what got me. Even though it is supposed to be unscented, there was a slight scent and I am not a fan.
I did notice my hands feeling dry after using it.
Total Clean Dishwasher Detergent Packs (20): $5.95
Free & Clear
Very middle of the road...They aren't the best or the worst.
Gray Matte
Visually appealing, but pretty small. I currently use this to store my dishwasher pods.
Glass Cleaner Concentrate (2): $6.95
Orange & Rosemary
Similar to the dishwasher pods: Not the best or the worst.
Lemon & Eucalyptus
I currently and have always used Dawn. I have not been able to find another soap that compares. This is a good soap, the scent is nice, but still does not compare to Dawn.
Tub & Tile Cleaner Concentrate (2) + Glass Spray Bottle: $16.95
Lavender & Thyme
Of all the products, this one was my least favorite.
The scent is not appealing. It reminds me of a vet clinic.
Subpar at cleaning.
Reusable Cleaning Glass Spray Bottle: $14.95
Cute and visually appealing
The spray function is lacking.
Walnut Scrubber Sponge (2): $4.95
One of my least favorite sponges.
The scrubber side isn't the best.
