With spring on the horizon, it\u2019s time to wipe away the\ngloomy winter streaks on the window panes and let the beautiful sunshine in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What better way to get the job done than with a great,\neffective, all-natural glass cleaner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bean & Lily\u2019s Glass Cleaner promises a powerful clean\nthrough pH-neutral ingredients to leave your windows sparkling. Let\u2019s get\nstarted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Bean & Lily?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Co-Founders Katy Minner and Richie Barbour met through their\nsales careers in flooring. With over 30 years of combined experience, Minner\nand Barbour joined forces to create Bean & Lily and focus on offering\nproducts that were pH-neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most conventional cleaners use highly acidic or basic\nsolutions to break down contaminants. But these elements are harsh and\ndangerous to humans, pets, the environment, and corrode and damage surfaces\nover time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Bean & Lily offers pH neutral products that let\nthe natural cleaners do the work. All their products have a pH range of 6-8,\nright around the pH of pure water (7). This means their products are safe for\nall surfaces\u2014including your hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a company who have thought about the inherent\nissues with today\u2019s cleaning industry<\/a>. \nThey are so proud of their ingredients, they aren\u2019t afraid to disclose\nwhat goes in their products<\/a>, setting apart from the majority of their\npeers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a company we have encountered\nbefore<\/a>, and I hope this won\u2019t be the last time.   I was excited to get this product in the\nmail!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your first impressions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bean & Lily\u2019s Glass Cleaner comes in a very appealing\n24-ounce bottle. The label is crisp and attractive with a color scheme that\nitself promises a bright, clean finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some of the other glass cleaners we\u2019ve reviewed<\/a>\nthat can be used on several surfaces, this is a cleaner specifically for glass,\nmaking it less versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to my sensitivities<\/a>,\nI normally try to buy unscented\nproducts<\/a> to avoid fragrances.  But\nthis glass cleaner only comes in a Lemongrass Green Tea scent. This is not a\ntypical scent for cleaning products, but I was pleasantly surprised with the\nrefreshing combination of fragrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the scent was only present when the product was\nairborne and vanished after wiping. But more on that later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pretty bottle beckoned me to get cleaning! Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks good\u2026 but how well does it clean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I had a few different tests for this cleaner and was excited\nto get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The directions say to spray and wipe with a lint-free cloth\nor brown paper towel. I used my regular lint-free cleaning towels, but still\nhad some fuzzies left behind if not enough cleaner was used. This meant I had\nto spray ample amounts of cleaner, which felt somewhat wasteful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The winter days have been long and my children have enjoyed\ndoodling away their boredom with window markers. These usually wipe away easily\nwith a wet wipe, but the cold temperatures caused the colorful streaks to hang\naround for some extra scrubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cleaner cut through most of the marker easily but needed\nan occasional re-wiping. However, the final result was a gloriously crystal-clear\nglass door! It was a pleasure to look through my back door again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
