Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canisters – Review & Giveaway

As a mom of  two little boys, quick clean ups are frequently required. Whether it is wiping up the messes by the bathroom sink, cleaning up misses by the potty, or getting pasta sauce off the stove top. We always have disinfecting wipe containers in the house for just these types of occassions. Hubby and I would always get frustrated with them because of the dispensing container. The small round hole at the top always managed to rip the sheets (and hurt our fingers), rendering the wipe useless.

Thanks to Family Review Network, my family recently had the opportunity to try the new Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canisters. I must admit, I was skeptical at first. I figured that they would be exactly like the other Clorox wipes I had used in the past at home and in the classrooms when I was teaching. Boy was I wrong!

My Review:

When I opened up the box of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canisters, I noted several items. Of course, the size and shape of the canister was quite different. Then the opening within was much different. Unlike the other wipes I had used in the past, these wipes were easy to get out. The opening was wide enough for adult fingers to comfortable get into and not get cut on the plastic side. I never wasted one thanks to it shredding while removing it from the container. I also noticed the texture on the wipes. The wipe itself had a textured area and seemed a lot thicker and more durable. When I used the wipe to clean my stove top the first time, it held up beautifully to the test. It lasted for the entire job, did not dry out and the texture on the wipe really helped to remove the dried on sauce.

Here is a view inside the container and of the textured wipes themselves:

A bonus to me was the pretty canister that I could pick to match the room. We liked the wipes so much, we actually went out to purchase another container for the bathroom. Here are all eight of the different decorative canisters that are available:

Nature’s Source Review & Giveaway

I will be the first one to admit that I detest cleaning the bathroom. Of course, I doubt many people really like cleaning them. Through the years, we have found that the best products to clean our tub and other items were with those cute Scrubbing Bubbles. Although it does a great job, I could not do the cleaning because the fumes and scent bothered my asthma. Thank goodness hubby is sweet and has done it for us through the years.

Recently, I was given the chance by Family Review Network to try out Nature’s Source Natural Bathroom Cleaner.  

Nature's Source Natural Bathroom cleaner

Here are some facts about the product that made me excited to try it for my family:

Nature’s Source products use plant-based, biodegradable cleaners and they have the cleaning power of Windex and Scrubbing Bubbles, brand names you already know and trust. They clean naturally and effectively, leaving nothing behind but a fresh scent. The cleaners are more than 99 percent natural, packaged in recyclable bottles, partly produced by renewable energy from a local landfill, and recognized for safer chemistry by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment (DfE) program.

 

My Review with photos:

I decided to test out the Nature’s Source Natural Bathroom cleaner myself. Hubby had recently cleaned the tub, so I opted to use the sink. If you are a parent, you know that when you have kids that use the bathroom on their own, the sink is a grime magnet. Below is what the sink area looked like before my cleaning began. 

Nasty faucet and dirty sink

Next, I sprayed the Nature’s Source Natural Bathroom cleaner into the sink and on the faucet itself. The first thing I noticed was the foam that formed and the little bubbles moving around the area. As I continued to let it work, it suddenly dawned on me. What you ask? There was barely any scent and certainly no harsh fumes. I had no issues breathing and continued to clean without any problem. Here are the bubbles doing their magic. 

Look at those Scrubbling Bubbles working

Before I knew it, it was time to rinse off the suds and reveal a clean faucet and sink. 

Entire area is ready to go

I immediately ran to my husband to show him the photos. We will definitely continue to use this product. It is not only good for the planet, safe for my kids, but does an amazing job on soap scrum and hard water stains.

A Chance for you to win!

Chanukah shopping fun – Game Giveaway

Growing up Jewish in a predominantly Christian society can be tough on a child. For most of the fall months into December, most of world is dressed up and ready to celebrate Christmas.

As a child growing up in the 80’s, living in a moderate Jewish community, we had few items to really decorate for Chanukah. There was only a small store in our synagogue with some merchandise in it.  As the years went by, more main stream stores started to carry a few Chanukah items here and there. They would all pretty much have the same few token tchotchkes. Plastic dreidels, cheap looking menorahs and some window clings were available.

In more recent years, people have started businesses online to help keep traditions alive, add modern touches and provide fun for Jewish families. One of these online stores is PopJudaica.com 

Last year, post Chanukah, I found PopJudaica.com. I oogled at numerous items and thought about different family members to purchase things for.

The Plush Menorah would be perfect for the little guy. He would be able to safely light his own menorah along with us.

The Got Latkes? apron would be perfect for almost any of the women (or men – like my hubby) who prepare the tasty traditional Chanukah food.

NHL loves to wear his kippahs to Hebrew School. The Kroc Kippah would be a fun way for him to personalize it on his own.

Of course for my brother, a recreational poker player, the Poker Yarmulke would be a perfect choice.

Seriously if you are Jewish, know someone who is, or want to learn more about another religion PopJudaica.com is a wonderful source for goodies galore.

The Giveaway:

The founder of PopJudaica.com has offered my readers the opportunity to win their own No Limit Texas Dreidel Game. This game would be enjoyed by both kids and adults, so it would be fabulous for family game nights. It puts a modern spin on a traditional holiday game for everyone of all religions to enjoy.
