Like most earth-conscious people these days I've been using more eco-friendly cleaning products around the house. We've switched to the Costco earth-friendly/biodegradable dish soap and laundry detergent. I've been using Restore the Earth's Enz Away to conquer nasty stains and odors in fabric, carpet and upholstery. After my last bottle of my absolute favorite bathroom cleaner - Soft Scrub with Bleach - disappeared, I made a special trip to Whole Foods to find a friendly replacement. I decided on Seventh Generation's Natural Tub & Tile Cleaner. I put it to the test on Saturday and was...sadly...disappointed.
Although it didn't give me a headache or make me feel light-headed (like the Soft Scrub), it did not get rid of the grime covering the bottom of the tub. My lovely husband insists upon padding across the earth barefooted for the entire summer and the dirt is mostly transferred to the bottom of our tub. The Seventh Generation cleaner got rid of the top layer, but did not scrub the tub completely clean; there was no gleaming end product.
What is an earth-conscious girl to do? I've decided that I'll check to see if Clorox Greenworks makes a Soft Scrub equivalent, but if not? Back to Soft Scrub? That stuff does such a great job! You can see yourself! And it smells clean and disinfected and wonderful. I'm addicted to the Soft Scrub results.
Does anyone have replacement suggestions?

I am a big fan of the Clorox Greenworks. It requires a tad more elbow grease than other products, but I've found it to be more powerful than the 7th Generation stuff.
What does "earth friendly" mean when it's on a label? I've been torn about Costco and other brand products that say that. I'm not sure what it means.
I think I've been inspired, by the way, to move on from Soft Scrub. I do have several bottles left to use up (thank you, Costco), but then I can come back to this post to refresh my memory on what you two have tried.
