Diaper Mess | | Our employees are also fans! We couldn't resist sharing this story. Alis says: When your child is a little too quiet, you know something is afoot and sure enough, the other day I was getting ready for work and my little one was playing in his fun area when suddenly, silence. Of course I immediately investigated and came upon him 'playing' with his dirty diaper, and the carpet, along with some toys, was covered. Impossible to protect myself and prevent further mess, in we all went to the shower, toys too... but the carpet! And the ticking morning clock.... Seventh Generation had discontinued our beloved carpet cleaner some time ago, but I had heard through the grapevine that the shower cleaner was a good replacement. Sure enough, it took SECONDS and very little scrubbing before I had the carpet spotless. And we were out the door, only 17 minutes late.... Hopefully not a typical morning, but I sure did have a good laugh later on..." | | Connect with community | | |  | | Our tampons are made with certified organic cotton, which keeps petroleum-based pesticides out of the environment.
