Rockin Green Shake It Up Pail Freshener Review & Giveaway! {CLOSED}

Congratulations #29
You all know I am a die hard Rockin Green Cloth Diaper soap fan. Anyone who's been near me for more than 5 minutes and mentions cloth diapers or laundry knows that! As long as I've been a fan of RnG Cloth Diaper Soap I've wanted to try their Shake It Up Pail Freshener. My diaper pail is actually just a kitchen trash can without a liner or lid. I can't tell you how many times I've walked through the door of my son's bedroom and almost gagged from the smell of a poopy diaper or the harsh ammonia scent of a overnight diaper. When he started eating solids I started scooping the poop out of his diapers with a disposable wipe and dropping it in my diaper genie and that helped cut down on the smell---until you opened the diaper genie and then GAG! the smell hit you full force in the face.


I bought recently some Fresh Linen Shake Up from a friend and I received some Mango Sorbet from Kim for review. The Fresh Linen is a very subtle scent that I didn't really notice when I walked in the room. The dirty diaper smell was gone but I wasn't smelling a strong Fresh Linen scent in its place. When I received the Mango Sorbet I could smell it as soon as I opened the mailbox. Thank goodness no cars were driving by because I think I started drooling immediately. I got inside and shook some in my diaper can and it smelled so yummy! The scent makes me think of fresh fruit and warm summer days. Of course it took care of the dirty diaper smell, but it also replaced it with a very yummy Mango scent. Even my husband (who I refer to as nose deaf) walked in the room and said "Hmmm...that's odd, it smells very fruity in here". I even sprinkled a little in the bottom of the diaper genie and now when you open it the smell is yummy not yucky!

I confess that Shake It Up has made me exhibit some odd behavior. Yesterday I paused next to the diaper pail and took a deep breath and smiled. Yes, I confess, I have started sniffing a dirty diaper pail, but in my defense it just smells so good! Today I even sprinkled a tiny amount under the floor mats in my car because sadly my car doesn't smell so fresh. Between the dirty diapers that fall out of the diaper bag and the fast food wrappers that get left behind for sometimes days before I have an extra hand to pick them all up sometimes my car just gets funky odors in it. I hate using commercial air fresheners because without fail they are always too strong for me. I am happy to say that Shake It Up was just the right amount of yummy smell.

Kim from Rockin Green is going to share the yummy with one of my readers for free! One reader will be selected to win a container of Shake It Up in one of 11 great scents. One winner will be chosen via random.org on March 27, 2010.

Rockin Green for My Bean- Review & Giveaway!

My first step towards being more eco-friendly was to switch to cloth diapers and now I am a self confessed cloth diaper junkie! I love cloth diapering and honestly can't imagine using disposables anymore but when we first made the switch finding the right detergent was a nightmare! No one warned me before I switched that I couldn't just use any old detergent on my cloth diapers. Once we began diapering I quickly found that my detergent wasn't going to work and I had a case of the stinkies! After much frustration and searching it seemed like I just couldn't find a good cloth diapering detergent that worked with hard water---then a miracle happened--- I found Rockin Green Detergent! It is made to work in hard water and currently comes in two versions: Soft Rock & Classic Rock. It also comes in yummy scents (Lavender Vanilla is my fav!), is HE compatible, and is wallet friendly too! I never have to strip my diapers, my laundry room always smells yummy, and it works great in my hard water. Although Soft Rock is unscented for babies with sensitive skin, I use Classic Rock and Avin has never had any reaction to it. I use it on our diapers, our regular laundry, and I have even used it in my steam cleaner to clean my carpet after the cat confused carpet with cat litter!


I am so excited because Kim at Rockin Green is great and has agreed to giveaway a bag of Rockin Green deteregent to one very lucky winner! I can't wait to share the love with someone else! Each comment will enter you for a chance to win. The giveaway will end on February 5 at 11:59 PM. Winner will be chosen at random.
