Here in Ohio, some of our better [...]

swiffer me this…. You get a call from a Realtor saying they would like to show your home… that’s great, but what do you do when they want to look at it THE SAME DAY and your house is far from clean? Well, if you’re the Green Gear family, you bust out a platoon of [...]

Our buildings, our furniture, our fire, and our fences. The Red Wood Forests, Log Cabins, Ships, and the entire state of Oregon would [...]

Ahh, The reusable water bottle. The vexillum communis of treehuggers everywhere. Reusable water bottles landed on college campuses in 1997 with greater force than Ani Difranco, and since then they have become more and more popular. Nalgene lead the way with those hidious giant watter bottles that people kept dangling from their north face backpacks [...]

I Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
A few weeks ago Dave over at HighSierra Showerheads asked us to review his new low flow showerhead, the 1.5GPM (gallon per minute) FCS-200. And, as always, we were happy to oblige.
The first thing you recognize about the HighSierra FCS-200 is its design. It isn’t very long and [...]

Wind me up Baby!

Yee Haww!!! This here is a Method Home Cleaning Products Overview Roundup!
I have been using a few Method Products around the house for about a year and I am very impressed. They’ve been on my radar recentally becuase their line of products has been expanding dramatically. What used to just be a few products is [...]

This product review is one that Mrs. Green Gear should take all the credit for. Dropps are eco-friendly, highly concentrated, individually packaged laundry detergent packets that are a good alternative to regular liquid detergent. The packaging is minimal, recyclable, and biodegradable.
We’ve been using these dropps for about three weeks and overall we think they are [...]

GLEAMY!
John over at showerstart.com was kind enough to mail us the new Evolve model showerhead, called the road runner. This is an all-water, 1.59GPM low flow showerhead with 36 individual nozzles. Integrated into the showerhead is their shower start temperature controlled cutoff device they lovingly call the “ladybug.” The Ladybug itself retails at $29.99, the [...]
