To say I am a messy cook is, well, an understatement. Truly. If I made cinnamon toast for breakfast, you can tell by the crumbs, cinnamon, and sugar left sprinkled all over the counter. Directly after making dinner, I have to clean for a good ten to fifteen minutes just to get the counters usable again. So imagine my delight when at good ol’ home-away-from-home Target I spied a bottle of pine-scented biodegradable surface cleaner that advocated reusing the bottle by refilling with diluted general cleaner.

I introduce to you, Mrs. Meyer’s Iowa Pine scented cleaners!

At Target, it was only the bottle of surface cleaner offered but Mrs. Meyer’s website offers a holiday cleaning pack. What a fun little gift for the obsessive-compulsive cleaner in your life! It smells absolutely delicious and fills our little apartment with that Christmas tree scent despite our not possessing one yet. Plus, it cleans really well and the company itself suggests reusing the bottle with diluted All Purpose Cleaner. The holiday pack sells for $11.25 – frankly, a great deal. I’m just sad it’s only a seasonal scent!

I’m pretty sure I’m trying their laundry detergent next. The lavender is just lovely and if the detergent cleans as well as the surface cleaner, I’d be thrilled!
