Eucalan No Rinse Delicate Wash

The good folks at Eucalan sent me a few samples of their No Rinse Delicate Wash. I put the samples to the test right away.

My favorite little summer purse is light beige and super dirty. After soaking in Eucalan’s grapefruit scented wash for 15 minutes (as per instructions) the water was dirty and my purse was magically clean! I immediately collected every bra I own to soak in the eucalyptus scented wash. This was possibly a rash move considering the product is new to me, but it worked out wonderfully.

The wash was gentle on my hands, and I love the no rinse aspect. It’s a time saver, but also a water saver.

Eucalan’s washes are non-toxic, biodegradable, phosphate and petro-chemical free. The packaging is recyclable, and it’s an eco-friendly alternative to dry cleaning (but test fabrics for color-fastness first).

Eucalan No Rinse Delicate Wash comes in eucalyptus, lavender, grapefruit, and natural scents. The grapefruit scent was light and fresh, but I love the eucalyptus scent so much, I wish I’d washed my purse in it too.

You can get a free sample here, and search for a store that carries Eucalan products here.

Bring Your Own Utensils

I carry a titanium backpacking spork around in my purse.  I know that sounds kind of weird, but it saves me from using disposable utensils when I eat out, and it’s so light, I never even notice that I’m carrying it.

Before the Industrail Revolution it was common for guests to be expected to bring their own utensils with them when invited to dine, because utensils were expensive, labor intensive items, and most people didn’t own extra sets.  Now, when it’s possible to buy a set of 1,000 plastic utensils for under $20, people don’t even think about bringing their own.

But think of the plastic waste that can be saved by slipping a fork from home in your purse on the way out the door.  You don’t need anything fancy.  Grab one from your kitchen drawer, or if you’re worried about loosing a piece of a set, pick up a few spare utensils the next time you hit a discount store, thrift shop, or yard sale.  It’s simple a simple way to cut down waste, and it’s always nicer to eat with real utensils anyway.
