When I first pondered the idea of sewing as a hobby I had absolutely no idea where to store all the materials and equipment that would soon clutter my house. There were sewing machines in just about every corner and fabric and other materials scattered across the floor. I …

I wanted a small fan that would fit on my desk at work. I wanted the air to circulate a bit more than it did in the summer. I found the Vornado Flippi V6 Air Circulator at Walmart for $16.47. I decided that was a good buy and purchased …

We bought our lawn mower in 2000. So, that would be 7 years ago. It’s a great lawnmower. We’ve put it through the mill too. Our Honda Yard Machine came with a grass catcher. We don’t use it though because we like to mulch the cut grass. I have …

The Canon Powershot 4.0MP digital camera is a great point and shoot digital camera with a decent price tag attached to it. I would say the features I most like using on this 4x optical zoom camera include the almost 2? LCD monitor, the orientation sensor and the print/share …

This is the only dishwashing liquid that I trust because I have tried its effective cleansing power for a long time now. Several times, I bought other dish detergent brands and for me they worked okay but not as good as this one. I usually bought the one with …

Gosh, I love these pans! I got the 10 inch one recently and I use it all the time. I feel that this little 8 inch one is a great addition to my collection.
Despite the fact that it’s aluminum, this pan is heavy for its size. To me …

This is a great steam cleaner. I purchased this steamer a little over a month ago but it has worked great for the short period of time that I have owned it. It makes cleaning so much easier and in my opinion it’s a great addition to …

The belt on my vacuum broke recently and I have not yet been able to go get a new one. So naturally, dirt and dust started piling up on the carpet (especially because I have two dogs). So I saw the Swiffer CarpetFlick and decided to give it a …

I use sanitizing wipes for personal care, but have yet to employ wipes for the dirtier jobs of housekeeping. It seems more practical to sanitize one’s hands after contact rather than to clean dirty surfaces or objects beforehand. More significantly, I am dubious if such can really …

I’m very particular with regards to the cleanliness of my house. I make it sure that every surface are dry and clean especially that I have a small baby. I’ve been trying different cleaning agent but I am not satisfied of the results until my friend who is a …

I use different laundry detergents all the time, since I normally buy whatever is on sale at the time. I’ve noticed a big difference in how effectively they clean and deodorize, and it’s usually based upon the price of the product. Obviously the more expensive products seem to work …

I purchased a Magic Bullet Blender with Juicer for $49.99. I have mixed reviews about my Bullet. It is attractive and somewhat convenient, but not as efficient as I’d hoped it would be.
I love the appearance of my Bullet. It is silver and very slender. It looks like …

I purchased the Bolens 25cc and it has been running strong since it was purchased. I have owned a lot of trimmers and truly believe that this is the best one that I have experienced. I didn’t pay much for this trimmer but it has worked great …

While I was shopping for items for my garden, I found a cute little garden marker to at Walmart for $19.50. It says “Welcome to my Garden”. It is plain and simple and perfect for a spot in my garden. This sign matched a few of the other things …

Sometime back, while I was at the supermarket to do my grocery shopping, I spotted the Topload Spin Dual Action Detergent Powder + Fabric Softener. I had been using the Top detergent powder for quite a few years and although I was satisfied with its performance I didn’t …

A few months ago I decided it was past time to clean the coffee maker again and was rather tired of the results of using vinegar because there was still some residue inside the machine. I decided to purchase a bottle of Brew Rite Cleaner for the automatic drip …

I was looking for a towel holder for my bathroom so I decided to go with this one. It’s a bit different than most others in a lot of ways but I really love it. I purchased it from Lowe’s over a year ago and at the …

This is the most latest one out in the newest Comfort range. 3 of the scents launched at the 1 time, and then this one appeared a couple of months ago. I use quite a lot of Comfort fabric softeners. The range is pretty good in my view.
This comes …

I always keep sanitizer in my home and my purse because you never know when you may need it. I love the fresh scent of Eucalyptus mint. It is not overpowering and makes my skin feel so refreshed. My skin actually feels moisturized and extremely soft after every use. …

I’ll confess; I have this terrible compulsion. I have this need to place everything paper into 3-ring binders. Perhaps it’s just a little obsessive compulsive issue, who knows. Maybe it’s just a strong desire to achieve optimal organization. But sometimes I think I have more …

Ugh! The Mr. Coffee DRX23 coffee maker has got to be the worst coffee makers I’ve owned! I’m very disappointed because this was actually my first coffee maker, but I did not want to make it my last because I love my coffee! Thank goodness I did not pay …

The Soundbest Homebasix Heater Fan cost me around fifteen dollars when I bought it a couple of years ago. I had more than a little bit of trouble with this space heater and that’s why I returned it and instead bought the Holmes OPP Small Heater Fan. The main …

I probably didn’t have to have a paper towel holder, but I do like having one around. It makes it much easier to get the towels off the paper towel roll when I have a paper towel holder. I found a nice one at Walmart for $14.97. It is …

After my experience with the faulty KitchenAid toaster oven, I was reluctant to try anything else from the brand; however, I used to have a KitchenAid mixer that I just loved, so I gave them one more chance to redeem themselves. I picked the wrong product!
The KitchenAid Slow Cooker …

This stove was installed in the new flat that I am renting. That is the only reason I am using it, as I am stuck with it!
Although it has lots of features on it, cooking settings, there is one major design floor that lets the whole stove down, and …

I suffer from a guilty conscience when it comes to the environment, I mean I switch off lights and unplug appliances when not in use. I also don’t like to drive anywhere unless necessary but still had to use horrible chemicals for my cleaning needs. Then I discovered Ecover …

As a family we barbecue and it’s critical to have a good thermometer when needed. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that this is a very good model to use. These thing has so many issues that it has now gotten to the point where I’ve just stopped using …

I bought the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner Kit. The kit includes dispenser, 2 bottles of cleaning solution and 4 AA batteries.
These are the product claims in advertisements and on television.
- 360′ Power Scrubber covers all 4 walls

It seems like a great …

In my attempt to help the environment, I decided to give this product, Green Works Natural Bathroom Cleaner, a try. It does come from Clorox, so I figured it had to be good since Clorox is pretty reliable. However, I’m not at all convinced about this cleaning …

I’ve had these tongs for years, and at this point I almost couldn’t do without them. Now, to be clear these are the ones with the scalloped metal edges, not the newer nylon coated tongs. I’m afraid I don’t know anything about those. Those are on my list of …

A couple of years ago, I was living in a townhouse that had a 30-year-old furnace and absolutely no insulation. After receiving a heating bill for $400, I opted for Alliant Energy’s Budget plan.
Now that I’m in a house, I’m still trying to decide whether it’s worth it.
When I …

Yesterday I went shopping with my mother and among all the stuff we bought there were 3 Glade micro sprays, two of them with alpine fragrance and one with a fragrance of some forest flowers. She said that there was another fragrance in the shop but she didn’t want …

Cleaning supplies is something that has always been important to me. I am in charge of most of the cleaning around my house and like to see my house really shine. I also like my house to smell clean and fresh, especially because I smoke. Cigarette smoke can really …

I have recently come into the possession of a new salad shooter thanks to my parents because the one I had before I have had since college, and it wasn’t on its last leg but I still needed to upgrade nonetheless. I have been a fan of the Presto salad …

The Rin supreme detergent powder is a very good friend of most of the housewives. It is so because the Rin supreme detergent powder costs very less in price but cleans up the dirty clothes very effectively and cleanly. I can say that this is one of …

This purchase seemed indulgent at the time, because it’s about three times what I normally pay for a coffee grinder. But, one thing I am willing to pay extra for these days is clever and useful design and features. This coffee grinder has several of those.
First of all, I …

If you have a small kitchen then you understand how hard it can be to find the room that you need to stick your appliances where they need to go. This was the problem that we ended up having and we had to shop around for a kitchen cart …

Commonly people purchase the one or two cup measuring cups because often that’s all you need to measure your liquids for cooking. I often have family over and have to double my meals and find myself having to double measure everything. It might not sound like a …

My poor mother goes through heating pads like a porcupine would go through hotwater bottles. Not that she has any better luck with the hot water bottles either. She has a tendency to wake up some mornings and find herself in a puddle from a hot water bottle that …

I purchased this mini fridge for my office 3 months ago and I really love it. I was so amazed at this fridge when I initially so it so I had to purchase it. I paid 50 dollars for this fridge which may seem expensive but I …

For many years I used disposable lighters for some reason, until I discovered that it is more cost effective to buy a refillable lighter and a can of butane gas, which lasts me ages. That is, unless I buy a damn Clipper lighter. Clipper is a famous …

Soap is the conventional dishwashing partner of every household but we fail to realize that we should use liquid-based dishwashing cleaner. Detergent bars leave traces that when you are not keen about it, you might ingest it with your soup or rice or oatmeal. The worst part is if …

I’m the one that does most of the cleaning around the house and this Lysol helps out a lot. It’s one of the best things that I’ve used to clean with. I have been using it on and off now for a few years and it’s always …

The last time I had granite countertops in my home, I had no idea that there were certain things you should and should not do, various cleaning methods and liquids that were good, and those that were bad. We simply bought the house with the countertops already installed, …
