Soft Scrub Introduces Soft Scrub Total – Full Size Giveaway! CLOSED

September 4, 2012 · by ·

Raise your hand if you love cleaning?  I don’t see your hand?  I am not a fan either but it has to be done, always been a bit obsessed in having a clean home.  Don’t get me wrong…we have clutter and dirt just like every one else.  Years ago, I had our house looking like a model home.   To help with my stress level, I had to give up trying to have the perfect home.   Having kids and a dog, there’s always something that needs cleaning.  I am sure you have heard the same phrase I have, “your kids are only little once, play with them…don’t worry about the dishes in the sink!”

We all have to clean so when I come across products that make my life easier I like to tell you about them.  A few weeks ago, I received a bottle of Soft Scrub Total All Purpose With Bleach and Soft Scrub Total Bath and Bowl.  Our bathroom sinks have always been tough for me to keep bright white.  The toothpaste, dirt and grime tend to wreak havoc on them.  I was eager to try the Soft Scrub Total product to see how they perform.

The Soft Scrub Total All Purpose with Bleach worked wonders.  I did clean the sink twice and let the product sit in the sink for awhile and it came out clean!  Once it worked it’s magic downstairs, it did the same thing upstairs.  The Bath and Bowl comes in handy with the three bathrooms we have in our home.  One great feature is you can use the spray bottles upside down to get those hard to reach places.

Soft Scrub is holding a sweepstakes with $3,000 in prizes.  1 Lucky winner will win $1,000 and 50 others will win $40 each.  Click on the picture below to be directed to the sweepstakes.

I have three coupons for full a full size bottle of Soft Scrub Total of your choice.  All I need you to do is tell me your favorite cleaner or cleaning tip!  (Don’t forget your email!)

I will close the coupon giveaway on September 23, 2012 at 9 p.m. PST.

Disclosure:  Soft Scrub provided a free sample of their Bath and Bowl and All Purpose with Bleach so I could review them.  However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own.

WindTunnel® Air™ Bagless Upright Vacuum Review

August 7, 2012 · by · 6 Comments

Two weeks ago, we arrived home from our week long vacation.  Imagine my surprise when I found my NEW Hoover WindTunnel Air Bagless Upright vacuum sitting in the hallway.  I knew it was coming, I just didn’t know when.  There is so much to do when you come home from a week away but it didn’t take me long to open up the box and see what was inside.

Packaging was impressive with only 3 pieces of styrofoam and a few bags that were protecting the vacuum.  I was able to get it out of the box easily and assemble it.

Our house consists of laminate hardwoods with large area rugs downstairs.  While upstairs is all carpet (except for the bathrooms and laundry room).  I tend to run the vacuum (my wonderful old Hoover WindTunnel2-I am a Hoover girl) once or twice a week.  We have a dog and her fur tends to float here and there.  The vacuum is the only thing that picks it up completely.

One of the first things I noticed (in comparison to my other Hoover) is the size.   The base is only 12 inches wide so it can fit into tight spaces.   It has been tough for the past few years getting under end tables and behind certain furniture.  This swivels right into those small spaces with ease.  The vacuum handle also reclines to get under the beds or couches!  The vacuum only weighs only 12.4 pounds…but don’t let it’s size fool you!

I must say, the suction is amazing!  One of our area rugs is hard to clean and I have never felt it was really vacuumed.   The WindTunnel Air got it looking great!  It is now the off-white it should be!

There are two more features of this vacuum that I personally love.  The first is the long cord…30 feet long!  My last one was definitely not that long so I had to break up the house into sections.   This one I can complete the downstairs with only one move.   The other feature that is a must have for me is the brush-roller shut off.   Having hardwoods I need the ability to turn on or off the rollers.  The switch is at the top of the canister which is convenient.

I must mention this vacuum is bagless!!!  Have you ever priced vacuum bags?  They are expensive and unless it is a new vacuum you have to order them online.  (I know this from experience!)  You can rinse out the filter yourself.  I am liking being able to discard the dust bunnies right into the garbage!

Did the vacuum have any cons?  Only one.  I had a hard time figuring out the hoses but once I read the instruction manual, I was good to go.  Would I buy this vacuum if I was shopping for one?  Absolutely!  The performance gets an A from me!

Here are the specific features on the vacuum:

  • Only 12.4 pounds – the lightest Hoover® full-size bagless upright available – easy to use
  • WindTunnel® Technology – removes embedded dirt** and minimizes blowback or scatter
  • Quick Fit™ Hose – one-touch releases handle for easy attachment to hose so you can

  • 30′ Power Cord – vacuum a large room without re-plugging
  • Clear Nozzle with No Scuff Bumper – protects furniture and baseboards from scuffing and allows you to see Hoover® WindTunnel® technology in action
  • Deep Recline Handle – lets machine recline flat to clean under furniture
  • Limited 2-year warranty

On-Board Tools:

  • 3-in-1 Combination Tool
