I have a boyfriend. He just moved into my (formerly) tidy apartment. This is a new development for me, because I'm the perpetually single young professional woman (you're all familiar with me, I'm sure). I've spent years at a time being single, and I've never actually lived with a man - other than my male parent, that is, who was much better at cleaning up his own messes.

The sights that greet me when I come home from work would previously have given me an aneurysm. I am now familiar with the cementing properties of mud dried onto entryway tile, stubble in the bathroom sink, and what-the-heck-is-that dried, cooked and crusted onto my previously sparkling OVEN??! (At least he cooks, right?)

I've been trying to live a greener lifestyle. My apartment is energy efficient, I have furniture that was built from renewable resources and the new boyfriend has already been trained to unplug things when he's done using them.

I also have a puppy. Interestingly enough, she's tidier than the boyfriend. However, her presence seriously complicates things when it comes to cleaning. I've already begun using organic flea treatments and shampoos, but my cleaning products scare the bejeesus out of me.

The Method products look so inviting, and the fact that they're green, safe to use around the house (and thus, around the puppy and boyfriend, both of whom spend inordinate amounts of time rolling around on the floor) and they supposedly smell terrific makes me seriously want to try them. Unfortunately, as most things go, I'm always strapped for cash, so I tend to bypass that aisle when I go to the grocery.

If I am chosen, I'll review not only the cleaning power of the products, but their scent, the puppy's reaction to them and whether or not I was able to talk the boyfriend into cleaning up whatever that stuff is on the bathroom floor (I'm not touching it).

Thanks!
