Posted by: Melanie Duffey| January 17, 2008 at 09:07 PM Green bags for fruits and vegetables - found in boating stores, camping stores and Bed, Bath & Beyond. These really work to keep produce fresher longer! I just found out during Christmas about the Tide To Go pen. This pen is awesome. I was drinking hot chocolate while going on a trip in the car with my daughter and her boyfriend. The hot chocolate spilled on my new blouse (of course). The boyfriend had a Tide To Go pen in his laptop bag and offered it to me. I could not believe what happened. Within minutes my blouse was free of stains and dry. a variety of paint brushes that I use for cleaning odd areas: dusting off edges of cupboards/drawers; window sills, corners of counters etc. You'll find many uses. Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day hand soap in Lemon Verbena. Wonderful! A wall mounted mail organizer. It keeps those bills from getting lost under couch cushions. Also, rubbing alcohol truly does shine up any chrome surface, and kills germs too! 1. I LOVE my Dyson Animal Vacuum, with 5 labs and 2 kids it really sucks up everything (I use it at least once a day). We love VIVA paper towels. We use them for cleaning up cooking oil and grease out of pan to cleaning our grandbay's butt! Because they're so thick and strong we don't use them for every little spill, and sometimes have found them in the dryer with the rest of the clean dishcloths. We won't buy another brand even with a coupon. Swiffer dusters & sweepers Clorox Clean-up - Its great for almost any surface. I even use it to spot treat my white laundry...works great! Suavitel Fabric Softener oh my gosh smells so good. Also, Barkeeper's Friend is a must. It is safe enough to keep my All-Clad nice and shiny! I also love Clorox Wipes and Tide and no doubt about it, I love the magic eraser. And for the vacuum, I side with Oreck vacuums. I love Clorox wipes!! They are great for quick clean ups. I also love hand sanitizer gel. Just a squirt on a soft cloth of any clear hand sanitizer gel will clean your stainless steel fridge outside and inside with a streak free shine. It also cleans black appliances, chrome faucets, door knobs, etc. wonderfully. Cheap white toothpaste is also great for cleaning and removing stains from white enameled sinks and bathtubs without any harsh chemicals! The magic eraser is a must have. Swiffer cleaners make dusting simple. Votivo candles are by far the best candles out there, I love red currant and Christmas sage. The magic eraser is a must have. Swiffer cleaners make dusting simple. Votivo candles are by far the best candles out there, I love red currant and Christmas sage. I have discovered that using RainX on my shower doors is great. It makes it quick and easy to the doors clean - since most of the water has already run off, a quick wipe down and your done. I also use RainX on the underside of the toilet seat. For the most part, the "splatters" don't stick and whatever remains is easy to clean. Windex Anti-Bacterial cleaner... the quality of a Windex product that disinfects any surface. And it's lemon scented. 1. Clorox Clean Up-especially to spray on my plastic cutting boards-takes the stains out every time! VanessasGift.com Products. All Natural Cleaning products. They have unscented products too. Here is my home must have list: Two cleaning products: I love the Shaklee cleaning products especially the laundry soap and fabric softener. You use so little and it works great. I bought the starter kit which was a little pricey but again you use so little of the product and just add water. I will have the stuff for a couple of years, not to mention it is safe around kids and environmentally safe. Downy April Fresh fabric softener - AWESOME! Kitchen Folio by Momagenda Method cleaners are my favorites! Especially the lavendar all purpose cleaner, and their new flushable tub and tile wipes. It makes cleaning so easy. And with 2 small children, I don't have to worry about their exposure to harsh chemicals. My house just smells clean, not lysol-y. This is a food, a "home product," though not exactly what the staffers asked for: Smuckers Low Sugar Strawberry Preserves. It is delicious. It really tastes like strawberries and makes you wonder why other jellies need to have so much sugar in them. |

Keurig B60 Single Cup Coffee brewer has been my husband and my favorite home product. You can have the perfect cup of coffee in seconds then switch to green tea, mango tea, hot cocoa simply by changing the "K-Cup" -- great product!!
