Many dishwashing products now claim that they can clean and remove grease and all that. But after going through the dishes, some still have the slippery evidence of grease on them. Naturally, we have to go through the dishwashing process all over again to ensure all dishes are properly washed …

A $40 cake pan, my ‘careful’ hubby was distraught when I told him but after several uses I think I’ve convinced him that it was worth the money - not least because it’s saved us having to buy two birthday cakes so far, with another birthday (and giant cupcake) …

I work for the whole day online and it is really quite problematic and eye straining at times. I got a very old CRT monitor which on long hours of uses irritates the eyes and reddens it. It is a daily routine for me as work on the share …

I bought a Nelson automatic waterer at Midwest Horse Fair a couple of years ago for about $400. It was expensive, but it was worth every penny. The worst part of the whole waterer is installing everything. I live in rural central Wisconsin where the …

I’ve always thought Method was kind of a cool brand. Not so much for their environmental sustainable practices, but because their products were so attractive. In particular, they make the best looking liquid handsoap dispensers I have ever seen.
Lately though, I’ve become sort of addicted to foaming handwashes. I …

I purchased Affresh Washer Cleaner for the first time just over a year ago after moving into a new house and feeling less than satisfied with the cleanliness of the washing machine. At first glance, the relatively new washing machine looked fine, but upon a ridiculously close inspection, I …

I received the Black & Decker Pivot Driver as a Christmas present some time ago. I’m not sure why I got yet another tool for a present considering I’m not exactly a handy man (my wife does a good chunk of the repair work herself). But, given the fact …

Pleasant is the word that I would use to describe this scented candle from Renwick. The apple cinnamon scent isn’t overpowering, and that’s a good thing. The scent sort of stays in the background as it occupies a room. By that, I mean, when I first walk into the …
