Lysol Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner & Wipes Review

Disclosure- I received free products in exchange for my positive review via Bzzagent. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions stated are 100% my own.

Bleach gives me a huge headache. I mean, it will linger all day long. When I was younger, I worked in child care I didn't have a choice but to use pure bleach diluted with water and the endure the headache I knew was coming. It is already not fun to clean (at least not for me, I do know a few crazies who actually LOVE to clean!) and to have to clean and no a headache is coming, man...that is just the worst! So when I stopped working in child care I said good-bye to bleach. Thing is, it cleans like nothing else! So...when I saw that I was invited to take part in a new BzzCampaign for BzzAgent for Lysol for cleaners powered by hydrogen peroxide, I was intrigued. I knew I wanted to try it! The thing I wondered most about was the smell. Of course, hydrogen peroxide doesn't really have a scent, so I new whatever it smelled like, it would be 1000 times better than bleach. And I was right. It has a light, pleasant scent. It was exciting to me to use these products because if you look at the picture above you can see a very tiny portion of my kitchen counter. My very white kitchen counters. It takes a huge effort to keep these cabinets sparkly clean. I have used both the spray and the wipes on the kitchen counters and for that job, I definitely prefer the spray. You do have to let it soak for about 4-5 minutes before you wipe or it doesn't clean as well as it should. I am not 100% sold on it's ability to remove stains because it couldn't get some of the bigger stains (I usually use a magic eraser on those, that's my little secret, shhh!) but I thought it worked rather well over all. I LOVE using the wipes on my bathroom counters and sinks, they are just perfect for that job and leave everything looking super clean. Lysol Power and Free kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria without the harshness of bleach. This is a great alternative to bleach that is better for your health. You don't have to worry about wearing gloves or staining your clothes (or getting headaches if you are sensitive to bleach like I am). I think this is going to be a really popular product line and I applaud Lysol for making a safer, powerful cleaner!

Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar & Stain Remover Review + Giveaway

Disclosure- I received a complimentary product from the Purex Insiders program in exchange for my honest review. All opinions stated are 100% my own.

I have always been a little on the messy side myself, but I never truly understood how crazy stains can be until I had children. My kids play hard, so sometimes their outfits suffer. Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar & Stain Remover is a great product for pre-treating stains before you throw them in the laundry. My 5 year old daughter is a super frilly little girl and she prefers to spend the majority of her time in dresses and skirts, whether she is indoors reading a book or outdoors playing in dirt. Her most recent stain was on a mint chiffon skirt that she had only had a few weeks. Mint is a very light color so the smudge or mud she managed to get on it was fairly noticeable. The staining occurred about a week before I received my Fels-Naptha bar in the mail, so I had already attempted to treat the stain on two separate occasions, to no avail. When the Fels-Naptha got here, I was excited to give it a try. I wet it slightly and rubbed it on the stain, threw the skirt in the wash and waited to see if it would work it's magic...and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did! The stain was gone! This is a great pre-wash treatment for stained clothing. You can also grate some of the Fels-Naptha bar into the washing machine for a boost for your load of clothes. I have also seen many recipes online for homemade laundry detergent made with Fels-Naptha (I may have to try my hand at that soon!). This is really a multipurpose bar that no laundry room should be without!

20 Mule Team Borax Review + Giveaway

I was excited to find out that I would be one of the Purex Insiders to get the chance to review Borax. I have actually already used Borax before, but I really like it and I knew that many of you, my readers, would love it as well.

What is Borax, you might be wondering? It is a 100% natural laundry booster, odor fighter and household cleaner. The main use for it is to use it in your laundry in addition to your regular detergent to fight odor and help with hard water issues. I can definitely tell a difference when I use it in my laundry and we have some hard water where I live. You will notice a difference in how clean your clothes appear when you use Borax to boost your laundry cleaning power!

I have never used Borax as a household cleaner, but since it's 100% natural and I have a box at my house, that is the next thing on my list of things to do with it. On the back of the box, there are several different uses for the product listed. You can clean your pots & pans, your dirt & your bathtubs & toilets your carpets and even your mattresses with Borax. If that weren't enough, you can also use Borax for arts and crafts! My favorite thing to make is Flubber. It's a simple recipe that you can find here and will be hours of fun for you and little ones. Little kids love slimey things, so flubber is right up there alley usually.

Now that I have told you several of the uses for Borax (there are even more than I mentioned!) enter below via the rafflecopter for your chance to win your own box. There will be three winners! a Rafflecopter giveaway *Disclosure- I received the above mentioned product for the purpose of rendering this review via the Purex Insiders program.
