Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap

There are little requirements mandated for a product to be packaged and sold as “organic” or “all-natural,” cautions the Federal Trade Commission. However, you can still feel good about Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap, which takes their pledge that Mrs. Meyer’s products are “earth-friendly, biodegradable, have no phosphate, no chloride, no solvents and are plant-derived, and not tested on animals,” explains Monica Nassif, founder and president of Mrs. Meyer’s and Caldrea. More and more consumers are turning to these cleaning product alternatives now that the harmful effects of toxic chemicals found in most cleaning supplies are well-known.

The most common accolade given to Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap is that the fragrances used are “soothing and invigorating.” Reviewers at Amazon describe the scent with adjectives like tranquil, fantastic, heavenly, divine, wonderful, clean-smelling, invigorating and inviting. A number of enthusiastic consumers report that the Mrs. Meyer’s products actually made them want to clean more. Once they got started, they couldn’t help but use the full line on dishes, dirty laundry, kitchen counter-tops and soiled bathrooms. People with allergies mention that the soap is gentle enough for them to use as well.

The most common complaint with Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap is that some of the “fragrances” may not be as “natural” as one would think. “Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap and many other products in this line are very toxic,” writes one Amazon reviewer. “I’m told they made it into the ‘health section’ of stores because they are biodegradable. However, synthetic fragrances are known to disrupt hormones (promoting obesity, thyroid disorders, sperm damage, and birth defects), induce or worsen respiratory problems, cause immune system suppression cancer and kidney disease, and damage the brain and nervous system.” Another reviewer, Elaine S from Los Angeles, says that the product contains the chemical sodium laurel sulfate, which is simply described as a “plant-derived surfactant” on the bottle. “The nonsense about being scented with essential oils is green-washed bull-hockey,” says Stephanie Adams from New Jersey. She says the scent is artificial, with a smattering of real lemon or real lavender to seem legitimate. “I despise brands that pretend to be eco-friendly and natural just to make an extra dime off the gullible,” this consumer adds.

The Mrs. Meyer’s website states: “Our fragrances are inspired by our gardens. We plucked essential oils from garden-fresh flowers and herbs that are especially powerful against dirt, grime, fingerprints and the like. Our philosophy is to make straightforward, honest cleaners that smell good and work like the dickens on dirt. They are also aroma-therapeutic, which is another fancy word for healthy and good.” You can buy Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap at www.mrsmeyers.com for $3.99 per bottle. Consumers warn to use the soap sparingly, as it suds up more than other commonly used brands.
