Two Classy Chics

Archive for the ‘Cleaning Products’ Category

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called e-cloth who makes a line of chemical-free cleaning products that only uses water. Using microfiber technology, proprietary equipment and manufacturing techniques e-cloth; produces superior performing products to meet specific cleaning challenges. The company has been in business since 1995 and has rapidly grown into Europe’s number 1, chemical-free cleaning company.

My Review: The great folks over at e-cloth sent me their Deep Clean Mop to review for all of you. This cleaning mop can be used on all types of flooring like vinyl, laminate, ceramic, tile, hardwood, linoleum and even concrete. The e-cloth fiber technology used in the mop head penetrates and removes grease, grime , oil and dirt. It has been proven to remove 99% of all bacteria from hard surfaces using just water!

The Deep Clean Mop features a telescopic handle that adjusts from 33″ to 74″ in length. It is very light-weight so you can take it all over your home or workplace with no problems at all. The set includes: (1) telescopic aluminum handle, (1) mop head base, (1) damp mop head that is removable and reusable. The mop head is machine washable up to 300 times which makes it extremely cost efficient. The mop base swivels around 360 degrees so you can get under your appliances, around your toilets, under the edges of cabinets, etc.

I have always wanted a mop like this and was super excited to give it a try. I have severe back problems and often in pain so I can’t lug around heavy mops and vacuums on most days. With my kit they sent along an extra dust mop head so I started with that first. You simply remove the mop head from the package and stick it onto the mop base which has a velcro effect. It sticks super good to the base and doesn’t slide around or fall off. I then got busy dust mopping my kitchen floor and my foyer floor. I love how light-weight this mop is and thanks to the swiveling head, I was able to get underneath my range, refrigerator, cabinet edges, under my baker’s rack, etc. All of the dirt, dust and debris stuck to the bottom of the dust mop head beautifully!

After dust mopping, I rinsed the Deep Clean Mop Head under some tap water and rung it out. I then placed that onto the bottom of the mop head and mopped my floors. I was done mopping lickety split and was pleasantly surprised to see how much dirt came off my floors! Geesh, and I thought they were clean! Once done, I tossed it into my washer and then left it air dry on my clothes line.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this mop system! I no longer have to use any chemical cleaning products to mop or clean my floors! It did a fantastic job at cleaning up all of the dust, dirt and debris and left my floors sparkling clean! I give this mopping system 10 stars out of 10 stars and a MUST HAVE product for all of your floor cleaning needs! The company stands behind their mop heads with a 300 wash guarantee. If you wash them weekly, they are pretty much guaranteeing their performance for 6 YEARS! That’s 6 years of not buying floor cleaner.

Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win the Deep Clean Mop system just like the one I reviewed. Value $39.99, You are going to LOVE it!

I have to admit – cleaning is not one of my favorite things to do. But as a necessary evil, I do look for household cleaning products that work great an do not include junk that is toxic to me or my family. The new JAWS Cleaning Solutions is right up my alley.

JAWS which stands for Just Add Water is a very cool concept in cleaning products. Developed to cut down on excessive environmental impact these cleaning products are very unique. You purchase the non toxic cleaning products with 2 concentrated cartridges and one spray bottle for each product you wish to use. You then just add water and mix when you are ready to use it at home.

It is pretty cool and a simple concept. All you do is take the empty bottle and remove the sprayer. You add the water in to the fill line and drop the cartridge holding your cleaning product into the spray bottle. Then add your spray trigger lid back on and it forces out the cleaning solution into the bottle to mix with the water. A quick shake and you are ready to roll.

This line comes in 4 different solutions to use all over your home. The Glass and Hard Surface (Blue) also works on stainless steel and granite. It is ammonia free and alcohol free and it give a streak free shine. It did a great job on my windows and shined my faucets nicely!

The Multi Purpose/ Degreaser (Orange) is great for counters, tile and appliances. It cuts grease great and I love using it on my stove and overhanging microwave with fan unit. Its cleans it all super quick.

The Purple one is the JAWS Bathroom Cleaner and Deodorizer. This is fabulous in the bathroom and works great on soap scum, mineral deposits and everyday shower and bathroom grime. It did a nice job on my tub and shower.

The Green Label cleaning solution is the Disinfectant Cleaner and Degreaser. This is a broad spectrum EPA registered disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs. You can use this on hard non porus surfaces to kill germs and viruses. I scrubbed down my trash cans and wiped my counters (non granite), refrigerator and wiped my toilets too. Nice. It did a great job!

I really like this JAWS system. They are all very are effective and easy to use. They have a great Uses Chart on their site to tell you what product works best on each surface. Very Helpful! I really like that the products use fewer plastic containers and create less waste than traditional household cleaners. If I don’t have to pay for shipping water across country, I think it will be a more effective use of my money to just buy a small refill cartridge. Save the Bottle and use it until it dies! And the price of the refills is super affordable! No worries about storage either and the product works great too!

I think you will like it as well! OH and swing by their Facebook page and enter a photo into their contest to win a $5000 home cleanup and weekly prize drawings too.

We are excited to tell you that one lucky winner is going to get all 4 cleaning products each with a spray bottle and 2 cartridges to try out too! Cool! Here is how to enter!

Kalorik is a company and brand that I am completely familiar with. Growing up as a child I can remember my mother having an electric toaster that was made by the great folks over at Kalorik that she loved. The company got it’s start in Belgium back in 1930 as one of Europe’s first manufacturers of small electric appliances.

The company started out making electric toasters and over the years they expanded to make many more small electrical appliances that you can find in homes and businesses all across the world.

When you shop for Kalorik brand appliances you will find high-quality steam cleaners, toasters, toaster ovens, blenders, coffee makers, deep fryers, entertainment appliances, floor care products, food preparation products, irons, grills, meat grinders & slicers, mixers, slow cookers and so much more! If you need small electrical appliances, this is one company you need to be checking out!

My Review: The great folks over at Kalorik sent me their Steam Cleaner (Mop) to review for all of you. I have been looking for a nice steam cleaner for many months, so I was super excited to receive this item and give it a try here in my own home.

This wonderful steam cleaner will steam clean your floors in just a few seconds and it does it without you having to use any nasty chemicals! It uses regular tap water that you put in the water tank which is really easy to do! Check out all of these great features.

• Sanitizes and cleans bare floors with hot steam
• Economical: uses reusable and durable cloth pads
(2 included)
• No chemicals required
• Dries in seconds
• Safe on all hard floor surfaces
• Specially designed triangular base to improve access
in tight corners
• Steam trigger on handle
• Soft grip, foldable handle for easy storage
• Head with movable joint
• 18 oz. water tank
• Constant steam on demand
• Carpet glider included
• Steam production: 1.7 oz. / Min.
• 1500W

Once the steam cleaner arrived, we unpacked it from the box and read over the instructional manual. Trust me, everything about this steam cleaner is super easy to understand and more importantly, it is super easy to use! We filled up the water tank and snapped it back onto the steam cleaner. We left the steam cleaner heat up (only took a minute or two) and then I got busy cleaning my kitchen floor.

The first thing I want to say is that I thought the steam cleaner would be heavy but let me tell you, it is super light-weight. You can easily drag this steam cleaner all around your home (or office) without breaking your back. The microfiber triangular-shaped pads are really easy to get on & off of the steam cleaner. They have an adjustable toggle closure so they fit perfectly onto the mop head each & every time.

Thanks to the head being triangular in shape, you can get underneath all of your kitchen appliances, cabinets, baker’s rack, microwave cart, etc. I love that triangular head because otherwise, I would have to get down on my hands and knees to get underneath all of the edges of our appliances.

I love the soft-grip foldable handle as it felt super comfortable in my hand and I was able to quickly and easily get my kitchen floor steam cleaned and looking pretty. There is a steam trigger on the handle that you can press to get the steam going and when you want no steam, you simply release the trigger.

The water tank holds 18 oz. of water and that was enough for me to do my kitchen floor, foyer, hallway, guest bathroom floor and master bathroom floor! Yeah! I didn’t have to refill it at all. I used the steam cleaner on my vinyl flooring, tile flooring and even on my stone floor in my entryway. It did a wonderful job on all of the different types of flooring that I used it on. I could not be happier about this product…I just love it!

I used to hate cleaning my floors and since receiving this product, I now steam clean all of my floors twice a week and it takes me less than 30 minutes to do them all! Once done, I remove the microfiber pad and toss it into my washer. I do let mine air dry after washing but you could toss it in the dryer if you wanted to. Wow, just look at all of that dirt it got off my kitchen floor!

This is a FANTASTIC product from the great folks over at Kalorik and I highly recommend it to all of you! It’s a high-quality product that gets the “job” done and get’s it done quickly! The MSRP on the Steam Cleaner is $199.99 but Kalorik has it on sale right now for only $89.99. Grab it while you can!

Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win a brand new Steam Cleaner from the great folks over at Kalorik! Value $199.99.

Today I would like to talk to all of you about Purex and their fantastic laundry detergent products. If you have been following our blog for awhile now, you already know how much I love Purex Laundry Detergent.

Starting on April 30th, 2012,  Purex is launching their Let’s Be Honest campaign featuring Second City Comedian Molly Erdman and I wanted to let you all know about it! They created a super funny series of mini video vignettes that share honest moments that reflect the ironic truths of everyday life, laundry and whatever else.

Starting on April 30th and running through mid-July you can log onto Purex.com and view a new funny video every few days. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter to learn more and to participate in the Let’s Be Honest campaign.

Every day throughout the Let’s Be Honest campaign, one lucky winner will win a year’s supply of Purex laundry detergent! How cool is that? Totally cool!

You can grab all of the information about the sweepstakes from their web site, so that you know how to enter and how to participate. The sweepstakes will begin on April 30th and run through July 24th, 2012.

When it comes to doing your laundry, what do you enjoy or dislike about it? Do you have any laundry tips to share with us and our readers? If so, please leave your comments below!

One of the things I dislike about doing laundry is dealing with my hubby’s work uniforms, they always stink and are always so dirty! Luckily for me, I use Purex which does a fabulous job at getting the stink and dirt out of his uniforms. One of the things I like about doing laundry is how fresh and clean my clothing smells after it has been laundered. I just love the scent of freshly clean laundry!

Thanks for reading my post today!
