Many of us have resolved to have a cleaner and greener 2010, and one way to begin is to use EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!

So many household products these days are made of chemicals created in test tubes in laboratories, and we have to be careful to guard our children and our pets from contact with them.  Not so with EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!!!

EcoSmarPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products are made of 100% natural ingredients, each ingredient absolutely harmless to all living things.  (Repellem REPELS, it doesn’t kill!)  Your small children are completely safe in a home that uses EcoSmartPlastics Repellem products.  Not only will your home be free of insects; you will not have to worry about babies or toddlers being harmed by contact with dangerous products!  The ingredients in EcoSmart and Repellem are SAFE!!!!

You won’t have to worry about your pets getting into the garbage, either.  With Repellem trash bags, your dogs and cats won’t even know you’ve GOT garbage!  And when you set your full trash bags outdoors, possums and raccoons won’t be able to sense them, either.

Let’s all begin 2010 with a cleaner, greener, SAFER home!

It’s Christmas Week, and oh, the baking!  And oh, the wrapping!  And oh, the cooking and cleaning and planning!  And oh, the mess all of these things can make - smelly messes, fragrant, odorous messes that every insect and animal within sniffin’ distance has been waiting for all year!

If you use Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, however, you won’t have to worry about the animals OR the bugs, because Ecosmartplastics Repellem products are made of 100% natural ingredients that repel animals and insects, completely!

So go ahead and bag up your holiday trash and set it outside on the curb, or out on your deck.  Nothing will bother it.  While your neighbors might be chasing their trash up and down the street, your Repellem bag will still be sitting right where you put it, unmolested, untouched, and intact.

Most schools these days can’t function without donations from parents.  That is a sad fact of life.

If your child’s teacher has trash bags on the list of classroom needs, why not send EcoSmart Repellem trash bags to school!  It would mean that your child, and all the other children in the room, would be learning in a completely insect-free environment, no matter how many cookie crumbs were spilled onto the floor!

How comforting to know that your child’s daytime environment was clean and vermin-free!  What a relief to picture your child perhaps sitting on the floor, working over posterboards or stacking blocks, and not have to worry about roaches, gnats, fleas, or even lice!

That’s right: lice.  Many parents are tying a little strip of Repellem around their child’s headband or barrette, or around a necklace, or through a collar buttonhole, to keep away the insects that love to hop from head to head in any crowded classroom.  Tie it in a pretty red bow, or put it where it won’t show at all!  It will also keep the mosquitoes away from your child when it’s recess time.

EcoSmart Repellem trash bags are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely recyclable and environmentally sound.  There is nothing in a Repellem trash bag that could harm a child, even if the bags are used in daycare or preschools where a child might chew or suck on a trash bag.  They are excellent for use in daycare, in fact, because dirty diapers will not attract insects - not even flies - if disposed of in a Repellem trash bag!

Your child’s teacher will appreciate any donations you can send, of course, but if you send Ecosmart Repellem products, the teacher and all of the other parents will genuinely, thoroughly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

It’s such a small thing, but it has a HUGE impact!  Not having to worry about insects or mice will be a relief to the teachers, and it will be one worry crossed off each parent’s list, too!

My husband is a math teacher, and in his classroom,  he likes the look of large houseplants.  Unfortunately, on Monday of this week - the first day back from Christmas break - he noticed that his large houseplants were infested with gnats.  The janitors told him that if he didn’t take care of that, he’d have to bring the plants home.

He took a Repellem trash bag to school yesterday, cut it into strips, and tied a strip loosely around the stems of each plant.  By the end of the day, there were no more gnats.

The Repellem strips drove the gnats away in a matter of a few hours.  The gnats were gone.  GONE.

I wasn’t surprised.  Remember, I used Repellem in the garden all summer, and I had not a single insect of any kind in there.  Repellem even kept the deer away!

If you’ve got houseplants, you’re going to get gnats.  Well, you’re going to get gnats UNLESS you tie a Repellem strip around each stem.  If you do that, you won’t get gnats.  Or any other kind of insect, either!  People who love African violets also love Repellem products!  People with ferns, or geraniums, or various ivies, all love Repellem products.  No matter what kind of plant you’ve got, Repellem can keep it safe from insects.  Your pets won’t use your houseplants as a salad bar if you’ve got Repellem on them, either.

Remember, Repellem products are 100% natural.  They won’t hurt the plants; they won’t hurt the air in your home; they won’t hurt your pets; and they won’t harm your children.  There is nothing whatsoever in any Repellem product that constitutes a danger to your children, to your pets, to you, or to the environment.  100% natural, and 100% biodegradable, and 100% effective.

No other product compares to Repellem.  EcoSmart Plastics did a great job with it.

Don’t forget the Repellem Contest!  It’s still going on, and you’ve got until Valentine’s Day to enter!

You know, as I glanced out my patio doors at my trash bags which were waiting to be taken to the landfill, I realized that the Repellem bags are red, and the EcoSmart bags are green.  The sight made me think of Christmas.  Together, they represent the very best that a clean, green home can be.

Both bags are made of 100% natural ingredients, and both bags are completely biodegradable.  Both bags keep your home safe from insects and vermin, and neither bag, powerful as they are, is a safety threat to your children.  In fact, your children are SAFER in a home that uses EcoSmart and Repellem products.

I really like my neighbor’s Christmas use of her Repellem bags.

Do any of you have an interesting use for your Repellem products?  If you do, please let us know.  Your idea might be prize-worthy!

When people search for products that help make a home clean and green, trash bags are not usually one of the first things that come to mind.

However, when you think about it, the trash is where strong, smelly things live, and those strong smelling things attract insects and animals.  Put strong smelly things in an inferior trash bag, and you’re spreading a buffet for every bug and critter in the neighborhood.

However, if you put strong smelly things in a Repellem trash bag, insects and animals will behave as though they didn’t even notice.  That’s because they DON’T notice.  The ingredients in Repellem products really do repel.

So go ahead and set your trash outside the night before it’s picked up.  You an’t do that with a Hefty bag, but you sure can do it with a Repell-em trash bag!

Ordinarily, whenever a lot of food is spread out buffet-style, no matter how clean your home might be, there are going to be a few flies buzzing around that food.

However, if you put a Repellem tablecloth under your pretty holiday tablecloth, there will be no flies.  Your pets won’t bother the table, either; Repellem products live up to their name and REPEL all insects and animals! 

When there are pets in the house, it isn’t often that you can spread a buffet of good food on your countertop or table and be able to turn your back on it with a cat or dog around.  With Repellem products, though, you CAN.

I have two lively, pouncing cats, and they love nothing better than to spring up on top of the counters and tables.  This Thanksgiving weekend, with a feast of good things all over the table and counters, the cats didn’t even seem to notice.

There are so many uses for Repellem products!  With EcoSmart’s Repellem, we have the answer to the question:  When is a trash bag or tablecloth not just a trash bag or tablecloth?

Answer:  When it’s a REPELLEM trash bag or tablecloth.

Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, such as lemons, apples, citronella, peppermint, rosemary, cloves, geraniums, and a little mineral oil.  There is not a single drop or dot of anything poisonous, and absolutely NO Deet, in any Repell-em product.

Deet can be dangerous, both to human skin and to the environment.  Deet is poisonous, and hazardous if taken internally.  It’s a pesticide, not a repellent.  It’s made of chemicals.

Repell-em is absolutely harmless, even if your child puts it in his mouth.  Repell-em doesn’t even harm the insects or animals; it just REPELS them!

Smart parents don’t keep dangerous poisons in the house, but with Repell-em products, parents don’t need to worry at all about their children getting into the Repell-em.  It won’t hurt them.  And using Repell-em trash bags, tablecloths, and camping extras will actually help keep your children SAFE, because the insects and animals won’t come near them!

I’ve posted before about how a baby’s nursery is safer with Repell-em products to keep away the insects that feed on waste, etc.  But what many people don’t realize is that the entire house is safer for your children when you use Repell-em products!

It’s not just the kitchen that benefits from Repell-em, either - it’s the whole house!  Repell-em trash bags in every wastebasket, little strips of Repell-em around the crib legs and rocking chair legs, a few pieces of shredded Repell-em down in the vents so that when the heater or air conditioner come on, the Repell-em “essence” is blown through the air, and many other ways, are all beneficial to the health and well-being of your children and everyone else who lives in the house.

Even if your infant or toddler puts the Repell-em bag in his/her mouth, it won’t harm the baby.  Remember, Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and while the smell and taste are repugnant to insects and animals, to a person, the bags smell good and don’t taste all that bad, either.  But if you find your baby chewing on a Repell-em bag, don’t panic because the ingredients in the bags will not hurt the baby in any way.  Be careful of choking, but don’t worry about poison.

A household that uses Repell-em products is a household that is more child-friendly, more child-safe, and much more relaxed than a household that does not use Repell-em.  Without Repell-em, homeowners are forced to use dangerous chemical substances to repel insects, while those who use Repell-em are using a completely harmless product that also smells good.
