Product Review and Giveaway: Bon Ami Toxin-Free Cleaning Products

Bon Ami Chick

I walked up to the Bon Ami booth at Expo West two months ago thinking that I had stumbled upon a new company making natural cleansers. When I found out that they were actually founded in 1886, making them 126 years old, I have to admit, I kind of lost interest. I thought, “What could a stodgy, 126-year-old company know about environmentally-friendly, toxin-free cleaning products?” Besides, I was there to discover “new” and “cool” companies in the healthy living space, so I left a card out of politeness, and walked off.
