I have used regular Dawn dish-washing detergent for over 20 years and I believe it is a reliable product. It does a wonderful job on dirty and heavily food stained dishes. I’ve used other dish-washing detergent such as Palmolive and Ultra, but neither of these products has proven to …

This beverage cooler is a definite must have for the perpetual party thrower. The cooler can fit cans, soda bottles and wine bottles. I hate finding out guests are coming to dinner and having to throw the wine in the freezer hoping it will be somewhat cool …

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 …

I was the proud owner of the previous version of this grille for five years. It had served me perfectly with minor parts replacement. So when the stainless steel housing started to wear off I decided to get a new grille from the same maker.
I have been using the …

I purchased this chair for my office over a year ago and I really love it. It’s very sturdy and it’s held up great since I purchased it. I purchased it from Office Depot and I paid 70 dollars for it. It’s expensive compared to others …

I have a theory that dishwashing liquid manufacturers are watering down their product, because lately, every product I use, there is such a small amount of suds that I have to use twice as much product. I think it’s all a conspiracy to get the consumer to have to …

Three months ago, I bought a Sunnex Teflon coated frying pan which replaced my heavy duty ordinary frying pan. The brand appealed to me because of the manufacturers’ aggressive effort of advertising the product. I am a customer who believes that a brand image is a liability for the …

I have tried many bathroom tissues over the years. I usually like to buy my bathroom tissue in four packs but recently had to compromise that. We ran out of tissue and I could only had enough time to stop by the corner store 7 Eleven. I noticed that …

The adhesive is one of the best spray adhesives I have found on the market today. At first I was a little unsure of if I wanted to use it because it is advertised as repositionable and I get nervous when that word gets thrown around. In …

There are times in the life of all of us when we have a period of pondering in the smallest room in the house and—¦well—¦.the effects can be rather off-putting to others who wish to take advantage of the same facilities some time later because the atmospheric pollution we …

I purchased this water slide earlier this year. I was looking for something to have in the back yard to keep the kids entertained and cool during the hot summer months. The weather turned warm rather early this year. It was already heating up in March, …

I’ll start off with the bottom line. The Rancilio Silvia is the espresso machine to get for the aspiring home barista. There are tons of cheaper alternatives out there, and there are some that are far more expensive. The Rancilio Silvia is the machine that perfectly …

When I make a lovely tasteful relaxing cup of herbal tea using loose leaf blends I like to use the Kati Tea Brewing System, which is a lovely ceramic tumbler mug without a handle that comes with a stainless steel infuses and lid. I love to make herbal teas …

I had got some gifts on the occasion of the inauguration of my newly built house. And the Nirali cookware set is one of those gifts, which I had got from one of my relatives. I have heard many people saying that the Nirali is a very …

I have changed between more expensive Dishwasher tablets and cheaper tablets. It was always the cheaper Tablets that I used to use as I thought they all done the same thing, but after I tried these ones then I have kept using them. There is such a difference between …

As always, I was searching to find out which brand of laundry detergent did the best job for my clothes. I had already found several that did an awesome job and yet others that really weren’t worth the money savings. Cheer was next on the list because it was …

My experience with Tervis Tumblers has been excellent! Each member of my family are proud owners of at least one personalized Tervis Tumbler. The design options are great and the cups work like Heaven. These cups are insulated and keep your drink cold ALL DAY. If ever given the …

Bounce fabric softener dryer sheets provide an easy, effective method of getting clothes to come out of the dryer machine soft, static-free, and smelling great. Bounce claims they invented dryer sheets in 1975, and whether or not this is true, the company definitely produces an amazingly excellent line …

I love having my bathroom smell fresh and clean, and so I was happy when my mother bought the “Airwick 2 in 1 Vanilla Indulgence Fragrance Spray” for our bathroom a couple of months ago. At the time I had never actually tried the brand Airwick, and I was …

The Century Novelty Valentine Heart Garland cost me one dollar and sixty cents. It’s a twelve foot long red garland that consists of red hearts. The red hearts reflect light well because they’re metallic in design. Since they’re metallic, when light hits the surface of the hearts, some may …

We have a septic tank for our waste water so I don’t like using those harsh lye based drain cleaners. They can mess up septic systems by killing off the organisms that break down the waste. I saw Roebic’s Bacterial Drain Cleaner in our local hardware store and decided …

When it comes to using tissue, I almost always buy the cheapest most affordable on I could find. Though that is great on the pockets the tissue is not always the best quality. When I am feeling good I will opt to purchase the more expensive tissue on occasion. …

I have tried so many different detergents for my dishwasher. I’ve tried powders, solids, gels, earth friendly and premeasured pacs. Of all the varieties I’ve tried, I can safely say that no other compares to the Cascade Platinum Action Pacs, not even other Cascade varieties.
For awhile I …

I’ve used this brand of matches for years. I just always liked them, and in many ways I prefer them to the smaller book style matches and cigarette lighters. I also like this larger sized box. It feels comfortable in my hand and never gets lost. And the large …

I got a selection of Wax Tarts for my Christmas as I like to burn Candles and that in the house. As long as they are scented or like these then I like to have them, not keen on unscented Candles. I think what’s the point?
I had never …

I bought this product early last year to replace our old rubbish bin. I decided to get this Brabandia one because it looks neat and clean to use because it is properly enclosed plus the fact that it is a touch bin. The one I got at …

I guess it must be the kid in me. I am a sucker for all things color changing. I picked this up last time I was at the dollar tree. This was advertised as a display stand for glass objects.
It does take 3 AA batteries, which seems like a …

I have been eyeballing those compact florescent light bulbs for the last two years trying to decide if I want to spend $8 for three bulbs when I can buy four bulbs for 99 cents at most places. When we moved into our new house I realized how many …

I’m not sure if this product has a brand or not. However, rumors do say that Bic made the permanent match. The name of this product pretty much gives it away. It is a match that’s permanent. I think it would make more sense if I called it, “The …

The Dollar Tree carries a forty-eight pack of their brand of plastic utensils that are evenly split up into forks, spoons and knives for just a dollar. Unlike the durable plastic forks and spoons at Walgreens sold under the Walgreens brand, these don’t quite hold up as well and …

The Maytag High Efficiency Washer is just great. To start with it is very easy to use. It has different settings and a lot more buttons than my old one but it is all self explanatory making it simple. It gets your clothes very clean and you can put …

I have tried tons of cleaning supplies, considering I am the one in charge of the cleaning around my home. I hate using products that just do not work and I have run into a few of them. One cleaner that I tried and did not too much care …

I was shopping at Walmart in the kitchen section when I cam across this three piece Anchor Hocking Measuring Cup Set. I wasn’t really sure why anyone would need that many measuring cups, but after thinking about it a moment, I thought that it was actually a very good …

This chair is perfect. It’s very comfortable and it’s easy to port around so I really enjoy using it. I purchased it about a year ago from K-Mart. At the time of purchase I paid about 50 dollars for it. I believe that the price …

I have used ADT Security for the past three years ever since I have had my home. This service is a good deterrent for criminal activity.
Even just having the sign up is a deterrent to home invasions and burgularies.
I have been pretty happy with my service. Once in awhile …

I had an electric waffle maker for years, until it had to make way for a more useful kitchen item - after being relegated to one of the cupboards it was just too much hassle to keep taking it in and out so I reluctantly gave it away.  As …

Times are hard, and smoking is expensive. Lets just get that out of the way now. As obvious as that statement is, it is something which many people don’t think that they can do anything about. Well, you could quit, but lets face it, for many of us, that …

I am such a sucker for novelty kitchen gadgets; I’m going to need a bigger house soon. My latest find is a specialty hotdog maker by Nostalgia Electrics Vintage Collection. In case you are unfamiliar with the appliance it is actually a white pop-up toaster that cooks …

Bleach has always been and will always be an important cleaning agent in my house. I love using bleach in both my kitchen and bathroom, because it is guaranteed to disinfect. I have never been too picky about the type of bleach I used until recently. I needed some …

This cleaner is the most strangest cleaner that I’ve ever used and it really reminds me of my grandmothers house because she always had strange buckets of cleaning powders all over the place that she would use for just about everything under the sun. She’d say “Hey, go get …

Among 3 machines in my house I must say that this is my favourite one. My daughters don’t live with me and my husband any more so we are alone now and I don’t need a big machine although I have one in another bathroom and I use it …

I love baking and like to vary my creations, my recipe of choice being mini muffins at the moment - muffins are incredibly versatile, but they are very filling (not forgetting the huge amount of calories in a full sized muffin!) so I’ve started using my Bakers Secret Mini …

Mrs. Meyers Dryer Sheets do a wonderful job of softening clothes and preventing static cling. I LOVE the lavender scent, especially when used in conjunction with the Mrs. Meyers lavender detergent…the two products leave a beautiful soft fragrance that’s not overpowering.
These dryer sheets are the best I’ve ever used …

I feel the Philips On tap Water purifier WP3811 has been an excellent household product, being effective, efficient as well as bring my family and I convenience. This is especially so as it provides a running source of pure water, which is priceless for those times when you …

The Dyson Air Multiplier is a blade-less fan (on the exterior at least) that projects air using an airfoil shape on the ring. It shoots air in one direction and has a consistent stream. Also, because it lacks any blades, the stream of air is not a buffeting one (unlike …

I was planning an after-prom party and I wanted to make food that would be interesting but not extremely time consuming to prepare. Earlier in the year, I had been to a buffet that has a chocolate fountain with the same group that I was going to prom …

I use several products to straighten my hair each day and keep it straight. The natural texture of my hair is thick and curly, with frizz an ongoing problem. I use a blowdryer to straighten my hair, then I use either a flat iron or a curling …

I live on a farm with water with too much iron in it. My water is, despite being orangish and tasting tinny, not unhealthy and is quite soft. With that thought in mind I recently bought what is called “new Sunlight Dish Detergent”. I’ve used Sunglight CLOTHES detergent …

On a recent trip to town I stopped in on the Harris Scarfe Manchester sale and that’s where I saw the Ardor Mercer Stripe Quilt Cover Set. The good news is this quilt set which includes one quilt and two pillows usually costs $119.95 AUS but it was on …
