First, a confession: I’ve been a long-time fan of Method’s cleansers. They’re effective, gentle on the environment, and have naturally derived biodegradable formulas. When I got these goodies in the mail I was psyched.

First I tried the Method Dish Pump- Candy Cane scent ($3.99, methodhome.com). It smells lightly like peppermint and does the job. Actually, it smelled so good, I didn’t mind doing dishes. Don’t like mint? try their Fir scent.

I’m really big on pump hand soaps in the kitchen. I usually keep a pump right next to my dish soap. When I’m cooking, I’m constantly washing my hands. So using the Method Gel hand wash- Fir ($3.99, methodhome.com) was a no-brainer for me. What I love about this, aside from the scent, is that no matter how many times I wash my hands, it doesn’t make them feel dried out. The scent also comes in Candy Cane.

You can also find Method home cleaning products at stores nationwide.

Who knew cleanup could smell so good?
