Ottawa giveaway alert! Feeling SPRING at terra20

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews

Although the temperatures haven’t indicated that Spring is on its way, the sun sure has. The days are longer and brighter and all of this sunshine is making me happy. And also, a little squirrely. Suddenly I have the urge to reorganize the freezer, air out the pillows, and generally give everything A Good Deep Cleaning.

Fishbowl patron terra20 has a slew of stuff in store and online to usher in the season, and to facilitate your deep clean (your green deep clean!) they are giving away a Spring Cleaning Kit and a $50 gift card to one Fishbowl reader.

I’ve used all of these products in the terra20 Spring Cleaning Kit and I really like them. I am especially smitten with that cleaning cloth. (It is a minor miracle!) And here’s something good to know: these products are refillable in store, which reduces bottle waste. And you receive a credit for when you bring your bottle back to refill, so it’s also cost effective.

Interested?

  • In order for your entry to qualify, have a look at the terra20 website. Is there a green cleaning product that you’d like to try? Do you already have a tried-and-true favourite? Leave a comment and let me know.
  • One entry per email address please!
  • If you can’t post your comment for whatever reason you can email it to me for posting at andrea at quietfish dot com. Please note, I cannot be responsible if your entry is misdirected or gets stuck in my Spam folder.
  • This giveaway is void where prohibited by law.
  • I will draw one name using Random.org at noon EST on March 11, 2016. I’ll contact the winner via email, who can pick up the prize at one of the terra20 locations (Pinecrest or Wellington West). The name of the winner will be posted here as well. So please check back!
  • Did you know that terra20 is on Twitter and Facebook? Following terra20 on social media is not a requirement of this giveaway but it’s a great way of keeping up with great deals and special events.

Now that the sun is streaming through the windows again, I tell ya, it sure is nice to get rid of that winter grime.

The ecobar bathroom cleaner is fantastic! Cleans the bathroom with ease plus it’s safe if my dog happens to drink from the toilet!

I definitely do have a favorite green product. I absolutely love the Lime & Ginger All-Purpose Cleaner by C is for Clean. It is vinegar based so gives a powerful, natural clean but the one of a kind scent is my favorite part <3

Hands down – Car spray … right now our car smells like apple … not a bad smell, though troubling because it means that there is an apple some where in the car that hasn’t been found yet. I guess the bright side is it’s better than rotting potato.

I’d like to try the Citrus Fresh Dishwashing Liquid made by Bio-Vert. They make such great products and I have to wonder what is in my regular dishwashing powder … seems extremely strong (at least it makes my hands feel funny if I get any on them). This would be a decadent treat as I don’t normally spend over $20 on dishwashing powder.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22).

The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
