If you have been reading the Two Classy Chics blog for any length of time now you will already know that I am a self-professed neat & clean freak. That’s right, I am one of those weird people in the world who enjoys cleaning my home and keeping it looking nice.
With that said, I am very picky about the cleaning products that I purchase and use. For the most part, I use natural cleaning products for the majority of my cleaning tasks. I do admit, I do use a few traditional cleaners from time to time too.
Recently I was introduced to a line of natural cleaning products from Citra Solv and immediately fell in-love with them! These are natural products that are easy-to-use, smell good and do a great job at household cleaning!
The HomeSolv Automatic Dishwasher Detergent is made with real essential oils and will leave your dishes sparkling clean and spot free. It is a powdered phosphate free and chlorine free formula. It contains no synthetic perfumes or dyes. It is biodegradable and safe for all septic systems.
It has been years since I’ve used a powdered dishwasher detergent so I was a little nervous about trying this one out. I loaded my dishwasher as I normally do and poured it into the dispensing cup, shut the load and ran the dishwasher on the normal setting. About 40 minutes later the load was done. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean all of my dishes, pots & pans, glassware and utensils were! On top of that, my glass baking dishes and drinking glasses were spot-free! Amazing!
The HomeSolv CitraDish Natural Dish Soap is one of the best liquid dish soaps I’ve ever used! It has a marvelous citrus orange scent to it thanks to the real essential oils in it’s formulation. It is tough on grease and gentle on your hands. It is derived from natural, biodegradable and renewable sources.
I squirted a little bit of this liquid dish soap into some hot running water in my kitchen sink. I first hand washed a baking pan that was greasy with chicken grease. It really cut through that grease and my baking pan was sparkling clean within minutes. To really put it to the test, I then added in some glassware and plastic dessert bowls to my water to see if it would keep grease from clinging to them and it did! I appreciate that it is not overly sudsy and you get just enough to get the job done. I love the orange fragrance and my hands were super soft when I was done. Yay!
The CitraSolv Valencia Orange Natural Cleaner & Degreaser Concentrate will make over 22 gallons of general all-purpose cleaner. It is made for your toughest stains, grease and everyday cleaning…made with real essential oils too! To use, dilute 3/4 teaspoon with 22 oz of water and place in a spray bottle or 4 teaspoons with one gallon of water in a bucket. It can be used to clean wood, linoleum, tile, formica, washable fabrics, upholstery, carpets, brick, stone, patio furniture, ovens, grills and more!
I decided to mix up an entire basin full and got busy wiping down some of the surfaces in my home that I wipe down on a weekly basis like my kitchen counter tops, the stove top, front’s of my appliances and so forth. I really appreciated that it smelled so good, like a freshly sliced orange!!! It did a great job at removing dirt, debris and grease from all of my kitchen surfaces. I didn’t wear gloves at all and it was super gentle on my hands.
It did equally as well when I used it to clean all of the surfaces in both of my bathrooms. I am really impressed with this all-purpose cleaner!
I am super impressed with all three of these natural cleaning products from Citra Solv! Oh my gosh, I definitely need to try out some of the others that they have to offer. You can head on over to their site to learn more about the company and all of the products that they have to offer.

This is the first time I have read about Citra Solv and it sounds wonderful. In the past I have been disappointed in some natural cleaners, so I shall look into this one. Thanks.
This sounds interesting. I had never heard of Citra Solv. My oldest nephew has allergies, so I worry about what we use to clean, & I need to look for this.
I always use natural products but have not heard of this company. Sounds like a good one to try.
I’m impressed and hope to try. I want to use natural products but so many don’t work as well to get things really clean. Great review on grabbing my attention. Love the idea of how well these clean.
I really like the looks of these cleaners. I don’t use harsh chemical cleaners and I like that these work well.
I love natural cleaners. We are out in the country with a septic tank and a well, so whatever goes out eventually comes back in!
I am always looking for good, natural, cleaning products. Thanks for sharing this. I have not heard of this before.
I am really old school andhave gallons of bleach, vinegar, lots of baking soda too. Multi-purpose for sure but not as convenient as prepared solutions.
I sometimes make a home cleaning product of my own for the shower that has citrus in it, but truth be told I would rather someone else do the mixing for me! And dishwashing powder, that would be fantastic.
