advocate review

method lust received an email from reader (and regular contributor!) Netta this week, sending us some reviews of products she's recently been trying. Netta doesn't mince words, let me tell you!

Netta says: "In August I decided that I would try some Method products that I have never used before and let you know how they turned out for me, so here goes..."

+ Ginger Yuzu gel hand wash - love, love, love it. The scent is very nice and soothing. I read some reviews about this scent and a lot of people did not like it some even said that it smelled like rotten fruit. It was very nice to my nose.

+ Grapefruit dish soap, gel hand wash, and surface spray - I have mixed reviews about this line. I did not like the surface spray, it does not smell anything like a grapefruit so I will not purchase that product again. The dish soap was ok, not as "grapefruity" as I thought it would be but cleaned my dishes. I did like the grapefruit gel hand wash. It smelled very citrusy and smelled like a grapefruit and the scent is very light and pleasant.

+ Cucumber dish soap, surface spray, and gel hand wash - This particular scent I had to order online because it is very hard to find in stores and I must say that I absolutely love this scent. The scent is light and is strong and pleasant enough that when I use the products in my kitchen it fills the air and floats into my dining and living rooms and even my powder room. I actually use the cucumber surface spray in my powder room and love the fragrance I get when I open the door. I use it right before I expect company and when they use the bathroom they always want to know the fragrance. This is definitely a winner for me and I never had a favorite method scent before because everything smells so good but I think that this is it.

+ Sweetwater gel hand wash - I do not like this scent at all. It does nothing for me. I have this hand wash in my powder room and when I wash my hands I end up in my kitchen washing it again with my cucumber hand wash. It is now in the basement (my husband's man cave) bathroom. My husband and his friends will use it without a complaint.

+ Squeaky Green Laundry detergent and dryer sheets - It comes in the sweetwater scent that I cannot stand. I tried it and it did a wonderful job on my clothes but I just can't take that sweetwater scent. I gave it away to my girlfriend who will use anything with the method name on it.

+ Method kid body wash in Crisp Apple - I like the way this fills my bathroom with the apple scent. It goes on very light and smooth and I even use it to shave. I think its fun and refreshing. My god daughter loves it.

+ Pomegranate Tea Plug In - I can't explain how much I love this scent. I have a 3 level home with a bathroom on each floor and I have this plug in in all three bathrooms. No matter where I am in my home I can smell the pomegranate tea. I use vanilla apple plug ins in the other rooms of my home and I swear that both scents are trying to out do each other. I think they smell wonderful as a combination though. Method should consider keeping this scent around.

Thanks, Netta! I'm surprised the cucumber scent is so hard to find at your Target? That's one of method's four core scents (cucumber, pink grapefruit, lavender, and go naked (ok, so go naked isn't REALLY a scent, but you know...) and they're easily available at all the Targets I go to. Have you checked every aisle? In the Targets that don't have the special method section, they have these mixed in with all the cleaners.

And who else thinks pomegranate tea should stick around? I LUST it! I (personally, I know, some readers will hate me for saying this) think this scent is a much better choice for permanent residence in the aircare line, over the citrus cilantro scent they chose from the spring edition line, to replace eucalyptus mint. JUST my opinion, folks. We all got'em. (Please don't hate me, I need friends!)

If you have a product review you'd love to have on method lust, send it to me! Pronto! (Or whenever you get around to it, I'm not pushy!)
