I've discovered a new Watkins favorite today! I ran out of my Ultra Dawn Oxi dishsoap that I have been using for ages (I LOVE Dawn because it cuts the grease!), so I pulled out my new bottle of J.R. Watkins Natural Home Care Lavender Liquid Dish Soap. Oh my goodness! I'm in love! First of all the scent is sooooo pleasant that I kept looking around the kitchen to try to find things to wash so that I could keep smelling that lavender and rosemary scent! Seriously! The funny thing is, after I used it, I was reading the back of the bottle and it says, "This natural earth-friendly formula rinses away leaving your dishes sparkling and spotless. The sweet soothing smell of lavender will make you want to clean all day long!" I have to admit, it's true! You've got to smell it. I normally gag at the descriptions that marketing specialists put on packaging to try to convince the consumers that their product is unique and the best. This time I just laughed because I really did want to keep cleaning just because of the smell!
And another great thing is that it really does cut through the grease just like my good ole Dawn! It had to be put to the test today because I had to clean up after frying bacon. Amazing! It didn't leave any greasy smears or anything! I was a bit skeptical, and a bit disappointed, when I realized I had to use the new stuff on that grease. I wished I had saved a little bit of my trusty Dawn in case the Watkins soap didn't work. I didn't have to worry! It amazingly took the grease away and there's no slimy feeling like you get from the cheap no-name brands. If you are coming to my Open House next Friday night (23rd from 4-8pm), remember to smell the soap! I'll even leave some really dirty dishes in the sink so that you can try your hand at it yourself!
On a different note, I wanted to give you an update on our artists. Stephen has been working off the damage he did with the marker and Timothy has been punished enough by not being allowed to use his crayons all week. However, today Timothy saw Stephen's sheet that he drew on and he asked in such a shocked voice, "Mommy! Why did Stephen do that?!" I guess he didn't connect the fact that he also did something that he shouldn't have done by drawing on the wall! I tried not to laugh at him, but I couldn't help but smile. I'm so thankful that Fred and I were both able to laugh about this right away. Every time I go in our room, I look at that wall and just stand there in amazement. Then I shake my head with a smile on my face and move on.

As much as I love the Watkins Vanilla, cinnamon and black pepper (and other stuff, too) I seriously doubt ANYTHING would make me WANT to just keep on cleaning or doing dishes, no matter how good it smelled. Actually, I tried the laundry soap this week when I ran out of Dreft (hypoallergenic) and loved it. Guess I'll just have to get some next time I send in an order. Hope your Watkins Open House does well.
I prefer the lemon...makes everything smell so fresh and clean! I TOLD you it cleans as good as or better than Dawn! I have to hide it, though, because Susanna would dump the whole bottle on her if I wasn't keeping a close eye on her!
Wait till you try the bathroom cleaner. That was my first cleaning product I tried...with great skepticism. Yet it immediately got rid of the mildew starting up on some caulking and left the whole bathroom smelling like oranges!
And just think, no chemicals in any of their stuff, how cool is that? (and disgusting that most companies insist on using stuff that is bad for people and for the environment)
