Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Review and Giveaway



As a Purex Insider, I was sent a Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover to try. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own. Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is a new, more gentle solution to mold and mildew stains. It is tough on stains, yet gentle on surfaces. It's a spray gel, that's thick, that clings to stains, without any harsh fumes or overspray. It cleans tile, grout, tubs and showers. Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is good for a quick spot cleaning or a top-to-bottom cleaning session. If you want to learn more about Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, please visit the Soft Scrub website.

I decided to try Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover in our master bathroom shower. We don't have much mold and mildew in our shower, but there was a few spots in those hard to reach areas under the shower door and under some metal parts where the shower frame meets the tile. I followed the directions and sprayed the gel on those areas, and only waited a minute(the max it says to leave the gel on) to rinse it off. Amazingly, the mold and mildew spots that were there, became smaller and some of them were gone altogether! It also says you can wipe it with a sponge, so I think I'll try that next time to see if the extra rubbing will get rid of the spots completely. I'm pleased with how the Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover works and am going to try it this weekend on the spot where the kids' tub meets the floor. That spot is always wet and has a little mold, so I'm excited to see if that clears up with this spray. Just make sure you have an open window when you use this product, because it does have a strong smell. At least it smells clean!

Soft Scrub is also having a sweepstakes. One lucky winner will receive $1,000, while 250 second place winners will receive one coupon for a free Soft Scrub® product! When you enter my giveaway, one of the options is to click on the link to the sweepstakes.

Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care Review and Giveaway



As a Purex Insider, I was sent a Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care to try. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own. Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care is a new product that cleans toilets, prevents future buildup, fights toilet ring, and freshens up to 4 weeks. It has a unique design and advanced formula that provides long lasting cleaning and freshening. There's a plastic cage that keeps the product in place and allows water to activate the cleaner with each flush. The product is available in two fragrances: Alpine Fresh with bleach, and Sapphire Waters without bleach. Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care costs less than $2.00 and is available at Walmart. If you want to learn more about Soft Scrub Advanced Surface, please visit the Soft Scrub website.

I was sent a Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care Sapphire Waters without bleach to try. My husband attached it to the toilet for me because I'm always afraid I'll do it wrong. He said it was easy to attach, but he kept thinking it was going to detach and fall in. So far, it's stayed in place! The sapphire waters is a nice pleasant clean scent. I also like that it will last for 4 weeks! So far, my toilet is staying nice and clean!

Soft Scrub is also having a sweepstakes. One lucky winner will receive $1,000, while 250 second place winners will receive one coupon for a free Soft Scrub® product! When you enter my giveaway, one of the options is to click on the link to the sweepstakes.

Combat Ant & Roach Killing Bait Strips Giveaway



As a Purex Insider, I was sent a package of Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips to try. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own. These new bait strips have the same killing power found in Combat Gels, but they're now in a more discreet design. The strips have an adhesive backing so it's easy to hide out of sight and keep out of reach of your kids and pets. They are easy to apply and aren't messy. The gel bait formula contains food and water that roaches and ants look for, and has Fipronil, which is a fast acting insecticide that starts killing within hours once the insect has come into contact with the bait. These Combat Bait Strips are different than sprays because they are made to kill the nest and colony that you don't see, so they attack the source of the problem. You just put the bait strips where you've seen ants or roaches. You should use all the bait strips at one time and then replace them once all the bait is gone(or according to package directions). You can buy Combat Killing Bait strips at Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Family Dollar, Dollar General and Publix. They come in 5 count Ant and 10 count Roach varieties. If you'd like to know more information, please visit the Combat website.

Luckily, I haven't had a need for these Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips yet. We have ants every year, though, so I'm sure I'll be needing them soon. I like the idea of these strips because I hate using the messy, smelly sprays with my kids around. Plus, the sprays always end up on my hands and all over the wall or wherever I'm spraying. Plus, I just don't feel comfortable using the spray in the kitchen. So, I think these strips are going to be a fantastic solution. They're not going to be messy and get all over my hands and everywhere else. Plus, since they're adhesive, they'll stay in place and I won't have to worry about them falling somewhere they shouldn't where my kids can find them.

There is also a Combat online sweepstakes going on. You can learn more about the Combat Bait Strips and be eligible to win one of three $250 Visa gift cards, or one $1,000 grand prize Visa Gift Card. You can enter the sweepstakes as one of the entries below.

I have been given the opportunity to hold a contest on my blog. The Combat brand will provide one winner with their choice of either Ant Killing Bait Strips or Roach Killing Bait Strips. All you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below, fill out one option or as many as you want. The giveaway ends at 12:01 a.m. eastern time on 04/25/13.

Dial Kids Body + Hair Wash Review and Giveaway



As a Purex Insider, I was sent two bottles of Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash to try. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own. Dial has made personal care products for 65 years, and now they've entered into the kids' personal care market. There are two different Body & Hair Wash: Dial Kids Peachy Clean for ages 2+ and Dial Kids Watery Melon for ages 6+. The product was developed with pediatric dermatologists with special formulas just for kids' skin needs. The 2-in-1 formulas combine shampoo and body wash for one easy quick step! The Dial Kids Hair & Body Wash are tear free, hypoallergenic, Ph balanced, and don't contain artificial dyes or added parabens. If you want to find out more, please visit Dialsoap.com.

I used both of the Dial Kids Hair & Body Wash with my 6 year old son when he took a bath. We used the Dial Kids Watery Melon for ages 6+ first - he picked it because of the watermelon scent. This wash offers mild cleansing without drying out your child's skin. We both thought it smelled really nice. I poured some on his washcloth and it lathered up real nice as he washed up. Then, I poured some on his hair for shampooing and it also lathered up nice. The soap rinsed off easily and my son smelled nice and "watemelony" after. The only thing we didn't like was it burned his eyes some when it got in his eyes. I liked that I didn't have to use soap and shampoo - it was very convenient only having to use one thing. My son has eczema and it didn't bother his skin at all, so that's a huge positive.

The next week, we used the Dial Kids Peachy Clean. This wash has the same benefits and also smells really nice. It lathers up really well too and was just as convenient and easy to use as the other Kids Wash. This Wash didn't burn my son's eyes, so that was an added bonus.

We will definitely continue using both Dial Kids Hair & Body Wash for my son's bath time.

There is also a Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash sweepstakes going on. One grand prize winner will win $1000.00. Also, 250 first place winners will receive a coupon for a free bottle of new Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash. You can enter the sweepstakes as one of the entries below.

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Review and Giveaway



As a Purex Insider, I was sent a Soft Scrub Advanced Surface to try. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own. Soft Scrub Advanced Surface is a new rinse-free gel that cleans and polishes granite and marble countertops, glass cooktops and stainless steel. It's tough on stains, yet gentle on your most delicate surfaces. All you have to do is apply Soft Scrub to the surface and wipe it away with a sponge, cloth or paper towel. Grease and grime will disappear! If you want to learn more about Soft Scrub Advanced Surface, please visit the Soft Scrub website.

My parents came over to our house for dinner this past Saturday night, and of course, I always clean the kitchen the morning before they come over. I was excited about this new Soft Scrub Advanced Surface because I already love Soft Scrub and use it on my sink. Previously, when I cleaned my granite coutertops, I had to use 2 products - a cleaner, and a wax. That was really a pain because it was time consuming and the wax was so hard to polish, that my husband had to help me do it. So, I was hoping this new Soft Scrub Advanced Surface was really as easy to use as it said, and it was! I just applied the Soft Scrub with a damp sponge and wiped it off with a cloth. It was so easy to wipe off - my husband was glad too because that meant he didn't have to help! :) My cleaning time was cut in half because I only needed to use one cleaner and it was very quick to use. My countertops were so pretty after I was done cleaning; I even called my teenage son in to the kitchen to see them shine! He reluctantly came to look, but agreed they looked nice. My daughter thought the counters looked beautiful and she really liked that the smell of Soft Scrub Advanced Surface was mild. My old cleaner had a very strong odor that bothered our allergies and made us cough. This new product has such a mild odor, that it didn't bother any of us! Even now, 5 days later, my counters are still shiny and very easy to wipe off after dinner. I will definitely continue using Soft Scrub Advanced Surface in the future and stop using my old cleaner and wax.

Soft Scrub is also having a sweepstakes. One lucky winner will receive $1,000, while 250 second place winners get to try NEW Soft Scrub® Advanced Surface for FREE! When you enter my giveaway, one of the options is to click on the link to the sweepstakes.

Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent Review and Giveaway



As a Purex Insider, I was sent a Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent to try. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own. This is a new liquid detergent in their Natural Elements line. It has the fragrance of pineapple, coconut, and flowers combined to make your nose think you're on a tropical vacation. This detergent gives you the bright, white, and clean that you expect from Purex, but it has naturally sourced ingredients. The natural extracts provide a wonderful scent and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It is hypoallergenic and dye-free. The biodegradable formula promotes green cleaning practices. This detergent works in both high efficiency washers and traditional washing machines, and costs half the price of the leading brand. If you want to learn more about Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent, please visit the Purex website.

I tried the Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent this past Monday in our laundry. Since my 2 sons and I have allergies, environmental and skin, I'm always wary about trying a new laundry detergent. I was happy that Purex is hypoallergenic. I wasn't sure that it would really have a light, fresh scent, but it definitely does. I opened the bottle and was pleasantly surprised by the nice tropical scent that is just the right amount and not overpowering. I only tried this on our towels for this time just to see what we all thought. Well, the towels came out smelling really nice, and no one is allergic to it! I will definitely try this detergent on the rest of our laundry in the future.

Purex is also having a Sweepstakes with a four-night stay at Outrigger Waikiki on the beach for two people for the Grand prize! 5 1st place winners will receive a one year's supply of Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent and Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends. 100 2nd place winners will receive coupons for the detergent and cereal.
