Sustainability and Self-Reliance: Get Those Youngsters Cleaning


During the flu season, my students often get a little worried about all the empty seats in our classroom--who's got the "flu," a stomach bug, or the sniffles. Worse yet, did they miss the mass text that it is "Senior Skip Day"?

When the sniffles get to going or the artistic desk doodles get too irritating, I just go get my WARHORSE Multipurpose Cleaner (I like the mint scent), a bucket of water, some rags, and start cleaning the desks, computer keyboards, and tables. I always have a few students to jump in and get going. No fumes, no bleach residue, no chemicals on their hands--just a nice soft feeling from my glycerin-rich soap.

Just before Christmas break, Coach Claussen sent a student down to my room for some WARHORSE. The plans were to clean the girl's weight room. Apparently, the mats on the floor were filthy and underneath covered in mold and mildew. This little cleaning job turned into a big one once several of her students got to pulling up the mats and moving the equipment. They came back later that day and asked for more glycerin cleaning soap. I just sent the rest of my container when one student said, "Oh my gosh, it's so disgusting...." I applaud these young ladies for helping clean the weight room




Chores are important for teaching young children and teenagers responsibility and independence. Working along side "experienced clean freaks" is better than having youngsters do chores independently. Kids need to know how things are done correctly from start to finish.


Get your kids to cleaning: Our WARHORSE can eat the grease off your stove, the soap scum from shower doors, wash dirty hand prints from the walls, AND soften your skin in the process. It's LOADED with a natural degreaser and softener. Get little Nate to clean his own bathtub because our cleaning soap has no fumes or harsh chemicals. Yes, your three-year old can start learning responsibility with our WARHORSE. Safe for all ages and most washable surfaces.
  • Our soaps foam and clean without sulfates or phosphates.
  • Our soaps are concentrated with soap and glycerin--not diluted and thickened.
  • Our soaps have an amber or dark color because the oils have undergone high temperatures. However, we don't use artificial dyes or whiteners to change their color, similar to brown rice, raw sugar, honey, nuts, and whole wheat flour. Most often, beauty and body products are artificially colored with synthetics.
  • Our soaps are made from a sustainable and innovative process that produces glycerin-rich products
  • We're proud that every batch is handcrafted from scratch.

Be Kind Soaps are kind to you, your family, your pet, and your planet.
