When I first heard about Courteney Cox's new line of cleaning products, I was intrigued. Unlike many of her celebrity friends who turn to beauty for their business ventures, Cox took a completely different path. Its Homecourt brand cleaning products are all about maintaining and improving the well-being of your home, one spray at a time.

"Our home is the only place that can bring calm and serenity into our lives. Together we strive for good health, good habits and wellness routines that make us feel our best, so why not extend that philosophy to home care?" Cox wrote on the brand's website .

That's the philosophy behind the company's three branded products: a gentle surface cleanser ($20), an ultra- nourishing hand cleanser ($30), and a floral dish soap ($25). You can buy each individually or bundle them into a $70 set. About a month ago I had the opportunity to try each product and was pleasantly surprised at how much of a difference they made to my daily cleansing rituals.

First of all, everything is done with sustainability in mind. The brand only uses recycled materials and organic ingredients. For example, the sleek black packaging is made from "100% post-consumer recycled plastics," the brand claims. Sustainably harvested eucalyptus and recycled rose water Stronger chemical ingredients found in other cleaning products and cosmetics like triclosan (used to reduce bacteria) and phthalates are all on the banned brands list .

But even without the ingredients we're likely to find in traditional cleaning solutions, the formulas can deliver. In fact, it's this omission of some of those questionable ingredients combined with the beautiful floral scents that made me fall in love with the brand, and the fact that the solution cleans really well, leaving surfaces sparkling clean.

The surface cleaner

Available in four scents (Rose Infusion, Neroli Leaf, Cypress Mint, and Cece, an earthy cedarwood), the surface cleaner is safe to use on almost any non-porous surface, including most woods, stainless steel, and granite. I often found myself cleaning my tile countertops with it. Overall, it does a good job of removing light stains thanks to the coconut-derived degreaser, which helps dissolve grease and break down dirt naturally. It's a great cleaner if you have a particularly greasy kitchen (or a small kitchen that tends to collect grease after cooking). You would think that with milder ingredients it would be harder to penetrate the oil, but it wasn't!

Wash your hands

Hand washing is also surprisingly gentle. It has a clear gel consistency that creates a luxurious lather when washing hands. But despite the extra bubbles, the soap doesn't leave your hands dry. Instead, it has a moisturizing and softening effect, thanks in part to Australian hibiscus flower extract. And while I'm not the biggest fan of cleaning products or scented soaps, this one has changed my mind. It's incredibly subtle depending on how much product you use and leaves hands feeling fresh and clean.

detergent

In general, dish soap and hand washing are my favorites, hands down (literally). Both are gentle on the skin and contain moisturizing ingredients such as argan oil and glycerin that prevent skin from drying out. The dishwasher also removes stubborn stains and odors, like those nasty grill marks that appear on pots and pans when meat is overcooked or pesto hardens on the plate. The formula contains mild plant-derived surfactants that help break down oily build-up and hidden residue.

The fragrance options also deserve a lot of praise in my opinion. Unlike some chemical-smelling surface cleaners that require airing after spraying, these smell like you've just lit a candle. If you're looking for a way to clean your home while creating a smelly environment, this is a sure bet.
