Pledge Dusters
The new Pledge Dusters are by far the best disposable dusters I’ve tried. Each Duster starter kit comes with two “feather” dusters, which you need to fluff out, an extendable handle, and a small bottle of Pledge Multi-Purpose spray. In order to use, you spray the Pledge …

Dr. Bronner’s Magic Castile Soap is lovely with that fresh, simple castile soap smell that takes you right back to childhood when your mother used castile soap to clean everything. Dr. Bronner’s Magic Castile Soap is not magic, however, but the product does clean well. I like to keep …

Weber Char Q Charcoal Grill Model 616002
I wanted a grill for the house but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on one for anymore than I thought that we would use it. It is just nice to have a grill around just in case we get a taste for grilled foods. I …

Hamilton Beach Brew Station Deluxe
If you are a coffee addict, the Hamilton Beach Brew Station is a must. Even though they are relatively short-lived (I’ve found this is true for all Brew Station models, not just the Deluxe), I wouldn’t use anything else for drip brewed coffee.
The advantages of the Brew Station …
Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System

I decided to purchase some at drugstore.com, where I got my last …
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Original Cleaning Pads
I count on chemical cleaners to scrub out dirt. When I think of dirt I think of pathogens, not just removing superficial grime, so cleaning is as much about disinfecting as keeping things spotless. But dealing with stains is a matter not entirely solved by chemical cleaners, …
Smart Solar Portsmouth Birdbath
I have had two birdbaths in the garden now, but both have been a disappointment and more maintenance than I cared to give a garden piece. Having to constantly clean out the bath was a big issue for me and since I would forget about it constantly it wasn’t …
Goo Gone Cleaner
I use Goo Gone cleaner all the time for certain cleaning situations. I purchase Goo Gone at the grocery store, found in the cleaning aisle, for $4.99 and it comes in 8 oz. bottles. It is well worth the cost even though that probably sounds quite expensive to others. …

Bosch Oven HBN 260 A
This oven came fitted when the kitchen at home was renovated. For my family’s needs, the size of this oven is adequate and even if it is a single door oven, there are enough adjustable racks inside which make it easy for me to put at least 3 casseroles …
Sun powder laundry detergent
Sun laundry powder detergent really sucks! Yes it is cheap too buy but is it really worth it? Too me it is not worth it at all, this product sucks.

Swiffer Extender Dusting Wand
I bought this product because I enjoyed using the hand held version. Now, I know there are plenty of other dusters out there that don’t require you to buy replacemnent parts. I have them and I don’t like any of them. In particular, I don’t understand people’s fascination with …
Classical Xilecup Mug
My company just launched the Go Green Campaign which encourages us to save company resources including plastic cups from the pantry. In this connection, I decided to buy my own mug. I went to Starbucks and they are too pricey just because of the name. I then went to …

Vornado DVTH Whole Room Heater
Vornado DVTH Whole Room Heater
I am constantly freezing cold. Most people would be sweating at times when you could touch my hands and feel exactly how cold I am. This is year round. At my job, it gets very cold in the winter months for me. That is why …
Lime-Away Lime Remover
Our water tends to leave a lime build up on our faucets. It gets pretty awful looking, but worse, it slow the water flow down a great deal. In order to get rid of the lime, we decided to try Lime-Away. All the commercials claim that it works, so …

Whirly Wash by As Seen On TV
Whirly wash is probably the most useless tool I’ve seen and used. I got Whirly Was mainly for washing the car. How it works is it uses water to turn the brush. This turning brush scrubs your car and you can simply hold the handle and do nothing at …
The Dyson DC14 vacuum cleaner
The Dyson DC14 vacuum cleaner is a cleaning device that I cannot live without. I do not understand how I managed to clean our floors in our house before acquiring this machine. This is the one luxury item we allowed ourselves when our tax return came in …
Renwick Scented French Vanilla Jar Candle
The Renwick Scented French Vanilla Jar Candle delivers a mild vanilla bean aroma to a room, when lit. While the vanilla scent isn’t quite as noticeable as the aroma given off by the apple cinnamon jar candle also made by Renwick, I think it’s scent that’s strong enough to …

Bissell 9500 Upright Steam Cleaner
I’ve always been the type of person to periodically rent a carpet cleaning system every six months or so to keep up with pet and people traffic on our carpet. This has for one thing become a rather expensive endeavor because the cost of the cleaning solutions that …
