This week we joined the movement for healthy cleaning with Aunt Fannie’s Cleaning products as part of a sponsored post for Aunt Fannie’s. #HomeSweetBiome
When I was a kid, the house wasn’t clean until the smell of bleach and other harsh chemicals was so strong it burned your eyes. While they did get the house clean, it wasn’t the healthiest way, especially since repeated inhalation of bleach and harsh chemicals can cause all types of health problems. When I became a mother I told myself that I was not going to use these types of chemicals in our house. While it isn’t difficult to find natural cleaners these days, it isn’t always easy to find ones that are effective and truly all natural. When Aunt Fannie’s reached out to me to try their Cleaning Vinegars, I was super excited to give their products a try.
Once I started looking into the company more, I knew that Aunt Fannie’s was a brand that would become a staple in our home. The brand founder Mat created Aunt Fannie’s when his son developed severe, life-threatening allergies. The family decided to rid their home of all the “chemicals and crap” they had in their diet and cleaning supplies, but found that even the “natural” cleaners that were on the market had ingredients that wiped out good microbes and sent their son’s immune system into permanent overdrive.
While there are tons of cleaners on the market that advertise themselves as natural and a healthy choice, Aunt Fannie’s is one of the few that scored an A rating from the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Aunt Fannie’s is different because their ingredients are recognized by your body as food or beneficial microbial prebiotics. Aunt Fannie’s improves the health of indoor microbiomes by creating biodynamic, evolutionarily-adapted cleaning and pest solutions from unique, whole, and food-based ingredients. It gets your home clean without disrupting the micro biome of good bacteria. Just like you need good bacteria in your gut to keep you healthy, you need this good bacteria in your home to keep you and your family healthy.
Aside from all of the health benefits, Aunt Fannie’s does an amazing job cleaning and can hold its own against any of the other cleaning products I’ve tried. They leave the house smelling fresh and clean without a vinegar smell.
Aunt Fannie’s Cleaning Vinegar in Fresh Lime Mint smells great and does a great job cleaning even the toughest kitchen messes [like when my husband decides to cook dinner :cough cough:]. The essential oils used in the spray are GRAS certified by the FDA. The Aunt Fannie’s Cleaning Vinegar Wipes are super convenient to keep on the counter the clean up messes as they happen. They are also biodegradable! The Aunt Fannie’s Glass and Window Vinegar Wash leaves glass and mirrors streak free without the harsh chemicals typically found in glass cleaners. The Aunt Fannie’s Fly Punch is 544% more effective at catching fruit flies than comparable products. [I also learned that one mama fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs at a time. If that fact isn’t what nightmares are made of, I don’t know what is!] All Aunt Fannie’s products have all their ingredients listed on their labels, unlike other companies that omit the not so great ingredients from their labels.
You can find Aunt Fannie’s products on their website, Whole Foods, Bed Bath & Beyond, Hy-Vee and Amazon. Best of all, if you order from the Aunt Fannie’s website, use code FROLIC to get 30% off your order plus free shipping on orders over $35. The coupon code will expire on 10/31/17.
Happy #HealthyHousekeeping!
This is great! Still get the same results without the use of harsh chemicals! Will have to look out for this brand!
This sounds like a great line of cleaning products. I clean a lot of things with vinegar and I am happy that there are natural cleaners out these days.
I have never heard of this brand but I’m so glad I found your article! A lot of those harsh chemicals in our cleaning products have scared me using around the kids. I love that Aunt frannie’s products use vinegar!
I’ve never heard of this company before, but its worth me looking into, I have 3 soon to be 4 kids at home so I’m always looking for ways to improve clean without the harsh chemicals.
Wow, I’ve been looking for more natural cleaners! My house gets so messy and I hate the smell of harsh chemicals!
I’ll have to look out for this brand. That scent sounds good. My house growing up use to be the same way, now the less chemical the better
I try to use homemade and more natural cleaning products whenever possible, but I never thought about the whole biome and how it was affected. It’s crazy and scary that it could affect someone with allergies so much! This was very interesting & I’ll have to check them out.
I am really intrigued by the vinegar wipes. I go through so many towels and paper toweling in a day. This is something I need to explore more.
Oh my, I need this cleaning products in my house! I’m pretty sure it’s going to do wonders! I love making sure that the house is clean and disinfected, my youngest gets sick easily.
This sounds like a great product. Having a spik and span counter top is so essential as mine are white .
I love using the EWG ratings to find good products. I haven’t heard of this brand, but the fact that it got an A is amazing! Definitely going to look for them the next time I am getting supplies.

I use nothing but natural cleaning products, but this is my first time hearing about this brand. I’m going to be on the lookout for their products!
I’ve never even heard of this brand before! It looks like it works so well!
I am definitely going to check out Aunt Fannies cleaning supplies. I’ve been moving away from harsh chemicals to more all natural and cruelty free so these sound perfect.

Yayy!!! We use this in our home and I can attest to the fact that they are AWESOME! I am like you, I am not a fan of the harsh chemicals, but I want something that actually works, not just say that it’s natural. I find that these products do work and I love using them in my home.

There are so many cleaners out there that have added stuff to them that can spark some allergies in us. I love to see that these cleaners are different!
There are also pest control solution that can save your house and should be included with your house cleaning efforts.
Recently we renovated our old home by constructing a new room upstairs and also improved our room interiors. We also had a pest treatment in our home to be protected from rodents and other insects but was not successful. The pest control agents whom we gave contract were not much experienced and as a result, the pesticides were not effective. After a month I could find some rats and cockroaches roaming around my room. So it’s better to go for a professional pest controller.
