The Honest Company manufacture a number of cleaning\nproducts, a number of which we\u2019ve\nreviewed before<\/a>. \nThe Bathroom Cleaner seems particularly popular within their range, and as I\u2019m\nsuch a fan of the company, I couldn\u2019t wait to get started with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is The\nHonest Company?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nHonest Company is a natural household product company dedicated to caring for\nfamilies and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder, Jessica Alba, recalls her childhood of persistent\nillnesses and allergic reactions. While pregnant with her first daughter in\n2008, Alba noticed there were few options for baby products without synthetic\nchemicals or fragrances<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\nher daughter\u2019s baby shower, Alba washed newly-received outfits in a laundry\ndetergent recommended by her mother and she immediately broke out in hives.\nAlba began to panic, fearing her daughter would have the same sensitivities and\nreactions she did, only worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\nrenewed passion, Alba surged ahead to create a natural baby product company and\nlaunched The Honest Company in 2012 with 17 products in the diapering category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nFDA has just a handful of chemical bans; Europe has over 1,300. The Honest\nCompany goes beyond Europe\u2019s standards and operates by their NO List, which\ncontains 3,000 chemicals and materials they choose not to use in their\nproducts. And now just 6 years later, Honest Company is highly successful with\nan ever-expanding portfolio of products ranging from infant care to cleaning,\nvitamins, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\na mother of two (soon to be three!), I\u2019ve heard all about The Honest Company\nand their baby products. I was excited give their bathroom cleaner a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\nappropriately match the scent description, Coastal Surf, Honest\u2019s bathroom\ncleaner displays beautiful ocean waves on the eye-catching label design. It\npromises a powerful clean on bathroom stains like limescale, soap scum, and\nother bathroom grime using ingredients approved by the EPA Safer Product\nStandards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although\nI usually go for unscented options, Honest\u2019s bathroom cleaner only comes in the\nCoastal Surf scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While\nmost naturally-scented cleaners choose lavender or citrus scents, Honest\u2019s\nblend of cedar wood and lemon essential oils is pleasant, refreshing, and\nlong-lasting. After using the cleaner in the bathroom, the light scent lasted\nfor about a day. For this mother who is potty-training her little boy, the\nlongevity was a very welcome aroma compared to the alternative! That being\nsaid, scents are often a no-no for those with sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks and\nsmells good, but how does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\ndirections state to spray directly on bathroom surfaces and wipe, leaving it to\nsoak for powerful dirt and soap scum removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First\nup: the toilet. Because\u2026 yuck! Especially since beginning the potty-training\njourney with my son, I\u2019ve spent a lot of time sanitizing bathroom surfaces but\nnot a lot of time for a deep clean. Specifically, there was brownish\ndiscoloration under the rim and draining into the bowl. I let the cleaner sit\non the harder stains while I wiped down the other toilet surfaces. A few scrubs\nof the toilet brush left behind a sparkling clean, refreshingly-scented\nsurface!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
