Posies takes cleaning the house partly out of the "things that suck" column
I've never equated cleaning my house with achieving zen, but while using Posies Cleaning Products, I can at least take some deep calming breaths while I mutter and scrub.

Posies were created by self-proclaimed clean freak and lover of aromatherapy, Timara Freeman-Young of Seattle, who mixed great smelling essential oils with all-natural cleaners that work like heck.  

Grab a bottle of Happy House All-Purpose Cleaner when faced with the toilet used by your not quite potty-trained son, and get the job done without gagging. If you've ever held your breath while scouring you'll appreciate Scruffy Silk toilet and tub cleaner which blends lavender and peppermint essential oils with baking soda and vinegar. And if you've got a nursery or playroom in need of a little de-funking, a few squirts of the Lemon & Spice Air Freshener and the only thing that'll remind you of your angels' presence will be the mess they've left behind.

No, Posies can't do the cleaning for you completely. But, they do make it it a lot more pleasant. -Christina
