Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner
I have several children and pets and I am very hard on vacuums. I have gone through somewhere around 4 or 5 per floor in my home in 20 years. Usually vacuums stop sucking at the level I need to pick up the dirt and pet …
Febreeze Air Effects
Febreeze Air Effects is the only brand of air freshener/deoderizer I use in my house. I especially like the nozzle and how it comes out as a light mist when you spray it. It isn’t “loud” like some of the other brands out there. Also, some …

Simple Human Stainless Steel Bag Holder
I have to say, Simple Human is really good at making products that I want, whether I can afford them or not. Years ago I bought their ridiculously expensive half moon kitchen kitchen bin. I have to admit I’m still in love with that thing, and it’s just a …
SodaStream Genesis
Having received the Sodastream Genesis for Christmas last year I have been able to make my own soda for almost 6 months now and I haven’t gone back to store bought soda since. I always felt like buying soda cans/bottles took up too much room on the counter …
NordicWare Cast BBQ Sauce and Bean Pot
As a family we like to use our BBQ as much as possible in the summer months, but one thing that has always irritated me is having to go back inside to heat up beans or sauces using a saucepan. My fairly thin bottomed pans wouldn’t cope with the …
Simplehuman Round Step Trash Can
I purchased this trash can for my bathroom and I really love it. It’s 4.5L which is not very big so it’s not intended to hold a lot of trash. I purchased it from Wal-Mart and I paid 20 dollars for it at the time. The …

Mr. Muscle Mold and Mildew Killer
I was ranting to my mother about the mildew in our shower curtain when she recommended Mr. Muscle Mold and Mildew Killer. I was skeptical at first because I was so used to cleaning the comfort room and bath in our house the conventional …
GlassPlus cleaner
I purchased GlassPlus because it was half the price of the other glass cleaners at the store. I live on a budget of sorts, and thought why pay $3 for something i could get for $1.50?

Scotch Brite Heavy-Duty Household Gloves
After two months of continuous renovation, I have learned a thing or two about cleaning house after a big flood. Because my hands were continuously immersed in water, they gradually became wrinkled and it looked like an old woman’s hands. I finally succumbed to vanity and bought gloves (old …
Purex Laundry Products
Purex Laundry Products
I use Purex laundry detergent on a regular basis. It’s cheap and it works well. Both the powder and liquid work well with brightly colored cotton garments. A big box of powder lasts about a month for less than $5. That’s not bad for one person.
I recommend …
Oust 3 in 1 Surface Spray Disinfectant
I bought this product as an air and carpet sanitizer as a corner of my matchbox sized home had a nasty musty smell. As a rule, I don’t like air fresheners and their ilk. The chemically smell that many have, I find a little unsettling. And …

Zwipes 7-Piece Microfiber Cleaning Kit
I bought Zwipes 7-Piece Microfiber Cleaning Kit for $10.34 online. Here is my review.
The kitchen towels measured 12″ x 16″ so they look pretty normal. In fact, they look pretty much the same as the other kitchen towels in the market, but at least they are easy …
Scotch 3M Tear-By-Hand Tape
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 …
Tide Stain Remover Pen
I get a lot of stains on my clothes, particularly coffee stains, during the course of my day, and I’m generally not in a position where I can take off my shirt and wash it right away. When I first heard about the Tide Stain Remover Pen, actually …
Scott 1000 Bath Tissue
My mom has been using Scott 1000 for years and I have started too. It may not be the softest tissue on the market, but it really does live up to its claim of lasting longer than any other roll. When I was using another brand at home, I didn’t …
Gift Warehouse Gold Star Tree Topper (Product Model Number 37263)
The Gift Warehouse Gold Star Tree Topper cost me four dollars and twenty-five cents when I bought it last year. It still retails for around that price. It’s a very affordable Christmas tree topper. The reason it’s priced as low as it is compared to many other Christmas tree …

InterDesign Kitchen! Over Cabinet Towel Bar From World Market
I came across this towel bar on the back wall of World Market while I was shopping for kitchen utensils. I was actually a little unsure as to whether I should by it, even though it was only 8 dollars.
The last time I can remember buying an over the …
The Brita Water Bottle: Single Serving Filtered Water
Water quality is a big concern, which is why a lot of people have Brita and Pur filtration systems for their tap water. The only problem is that you can only take one to go, and then you’re left to resort to tap water. The Brita water bottle solves …

Bio d Washing Powder
I use Bio d Washing Powder as my regular washing powder. I believe that is as good as harsher, chemical washing powders.
If you like your laundry to have a soapy smell after washing, this won’t provide that. Laundry remains scent-free after washing with Bio d Washing …
Egg Slicer
I often make salads for picnics and barbecues, and it’s nice to garnish them so they look pretty and appetizing. I have found it’s virtually impossible to slice a hard boiled egg with a knife and have it look nice. Here is where the Good Cook Egg …
Deco Breeze Figurine Fan Country Dog
I saw the Deco Breeze African Elephant table fan at a friend’s house not too long ago and inquired about them. I had never seen one before and was so delighted by its decoration. In my house we have the boring stand up fans and little clip …

Wusthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener
Like many others, I actually own a lot of knives which vary in shapes and sizes. Among them include paring knives, chef knives, bread knives, cheese knives ad other kinds of knives. Of course they used to be sharp and reliable, but over time they lost their sharpness and …
Shout Wipe and Go
I purchased a very small trial size of the Shout wipes because I really didn’t know how well it was going to work and I am quite cheap. I did not want to buy a huge package, find out that they weren’t going to work for me, and then …
Glade Country Garden Air Freshener
Country Garden is another new Glade scent I have recently tried. This was a successful purchase. Both the name and the fragrance appealed to me right away. It suits the season very well: what can be better in spring time than rich, fresh flowery scent? I tried it at …
Frigidaire FAD704TDP 70-Pint Dehumidifier
This summer has got to be one of the worst summers for New York. We experienced high temperatures, and not only that but around here is really humid, so that just makes it even worse! We have experienced numerous heat waves, and there were few little things you could …

Caso VC200 Vacuum Food Sealer
Now, a $250 food sealer is NOT something I’d spend my own money on, but my brother is a chef and runs his own catering business, so when he upgraded a bunch of his equipment and supplies, I tended to get the hand-me-downs, and I’m not complaining one little …
Panasonic 2.2 Cubic Foot Microwave Oven
When my microwave blew up I had to consider getting a new one. I didn’t really need a big one because I don’t use it that often. I use it mostly for warming things up in. Once in a while I will cook food or popcorn in it. I …

Bleach has always been a popular cleaning product around my house. I watched my grandmother and mother use it, now I love to use it. My husband is also a bleach fanatic, when it comes to cleaning and laundry. The only thing about bleach is that it is hard …
Honeywell RCWL300A1006 Wireless Door chime and push button
My house doesn’t have a door bell so I decided to purchase this Honeywell door chime and it’s been amazing. I found it while browsing through the store and I’m so glad I decided to buy it. I purchased it from Lowe’s and I paid 30 dollars …
Pureflex Bathroom Cleaner
I’ve had some issues with my bathroom ever since I moved in, and the one thing I hate about it is that the bathtub itself has such hard water stains on it, that have apparently built up over several years before we moved in to this place. Een some …
