Clorox Cleaning & Deodorizing Wipes
I’m not too sure why I bought this cleaning product; it’s unlike me to buy wipes or specialized cleaning products, a bucket of water and some bleach is good enough for me, but I think after using these Clorox wipes it’s worthy of a review.
So basically it’s a tube …

Cuddle Soft Mountain Fresh Liquid Fabric Softener Refill

Daewoo KoR6L0B 600 Watt Microwave

First, I absolutely love the in-door water …
