New Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover - A Review and Giveaway!

 I recently had the opportunity to try New Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover.  It is a unique spray gel that is tough on stains, and gentle on surfaces.  Unlike other spray bleach cleansers that produce a fine mist of bleach vapors, Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover is a thick gel that clings to bathroom surfaces to penetrate and remove tough stains without harsh fumes or over spray.  This is important to me with three little kids in the house!

This stain remover is perfect for cleaning tile, grout, tubs, and showers along with many other surfaces in your bathroom.  Whether you are doing a quick spot cleaning or a top-to-bottom cleaning session, this is the product for you. 

I have been trying and trying to clean all my windows.  We have about 18 windows in our house on two floors so it is a daunting task.  Luckily we have newer windows in which both panes tilt in so I can clean it all from the inside.  For some reason on some of my windows I get little dots of mold on the caulk line as seen in the picture.

I sprayed some of the Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover on the spots and let it sit about 10 minutes while I cleaned the rest of the window.  I then scrubbed it off and it did a great job of removing the mold spots.  I normally do this with a product with bleach, so I enjoyed the smell of this new product much better!

See?  No Mold!

Three lucky Spend Less 2 Save More readers can win a coupon for a FREE Soft Scrub product (up $3.39).  Easy entries are below!

Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash - A Review, Giveaway, and Sweepstakes!

For 65 years, the Dial brand has been developing trusted personal care products for clean, healthy skin.  Dial is excited to announce its entry into the kids' personal care segment with NEW Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash that offers age-appropriate variants developed to address the specific needs of children.  Dial Kids Peachy Clean for ages 2+ and Dial Kids Watery Melon for ages 6+.

Developed with pediatric dermatologists, Dial introduces specialized formulas for children ages 2-5 and 6-10, helping parents make smart decisions with it comes to kids' perfect skin.  The 2-in-1 formulas combine shampoo and body wash for one speedy step.

 (my 4 year old thought it was pretty funny when I asked him to stand in the shower in his pj's!)

Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash Peachy Clean

 

Meant for children ages 2-5.

Perfect for kids that have outgrown traditional newborn soaps

but aren't ready for adult strength hair and body wash.

Provides ultra gentle cleansing with a fun, light scent.

 

Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash Watery Melon and Berry Cool

 

Meant for children ages 6-10.

Offers mild cleansing without drying out delicate skin.

Watery Melon and Berry Cool variants contain bright, vibrant colors

and fun scents that take bath time to a whole new level of fun!

 

Both formulas are teat free, hypoallergenic, contain no artificial dyes or added parabens,

 and are pH balanced.

 

 

I was given the opportunity to try both of these great new products.  I have a 4 year old that was able to test the Peachy Clean and a 7 year old who got to test the Watery Melon.  The first thing I liked about both products was that it was both a shampoo and body wash in one!  I like having just one container that can do the job of two.  It is often confusing for little ones who want to "do it by themselves" to know which the shampoo and which is the body wash.

 

The second thing I enjoyed were the scents.  I love the smell of scented body washes and they both had an amazingly pleasant scent.  I especially enjoyed the Peachy Clean scent, I wish I could use that for myself!  Also, they did not irritate either of my sons' skin, just left them smelling clean and fresh.

 

The verdict from the boys?  "Can we buy some more of this?"  They loved it! 

 

The Dial brand is hosting a sweepstakes along with the release of NEW Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash.  One grand prize winner will receive $1000, while 250 additional winners will receive a coupon for a free bottle of NEW Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash.

I tried this new produt out on my glass cooktop.  Now my stove is about 8 years old now and unfortunately I have developed some ring around my burners.  I followed the directions on the bottle.  It defintely cleaned the glass cooktop well, but failed to remove the burnt on rings on my stove.  The cooktop came out extra shiny, and I will definitely use it to clean my stove.  Perhaps, my burners are just not going to get clean!

20 Mule Team Borax - Review and Giveaway

UPDATE - Winners are Shanna, jjak2003@, and cc_girly@!  Send me your address at spendless2savemore@gmail.com to claim your prize!

 

 

What is Borax?  20 Mule Team Borax is 100% natural mineral from the earth.  Once removed from the ground it is washed, dried, and boxed for consumers.  Borax is a common name for sodium tetraborate:  a naturally occurring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes. Absolutely nothing is added.  No phosphates, chlorine, or other additive chemicals. 

Ok - enough of the chemistry lesson (unless you enjoyed it if you are a Chemist or Chemical Engineer like me)!

Over 85% of homes have "hard water".  Hard water is defined as water that contains calcium and magnesium.  When you add detergent to hard water, some of the compounds attach to the calcium and magnesium and settle to the bottom of your washing machine, eventually going down the drain without actually cleaning your clothes!  You are essentially wasting detergent.

20 Mule Team Borax naturally softens hard water, which protects your detergent and maximize cleaning power (and your money spent on detergent)!  To boost your detergent, simply add 1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax to every load along with your regular (Purex) detergent!  You will actually be improving the cleaning power of your detergent.  It also helps keep stains from being re-deposited back on clothes.

I tried it on several loads with Purex Free & Clear and Purex Baby detergent, and I definitely think my clothes came out cleaner than before!  I will continue to use the 20 Mule Team Borax to see if I see a difference.  The best part is, that it is safe in HE washing machines.  I just got a new HE machine and I want to make sure it lasts!

Now, the secret about Borax is that this is one of the ingredients used to make homemade laundry detergent!  I have posted a link here on how to make it.  So you could actually use 20 Mule Team Borax to make your own detergent and save even more money!

Even better, Borax is having a Fresh Year, Fresher Laundry Giveaway where the grand prize is $1500!  Go here to enter now!

Three lucky Spend Less 2 Save More readers will win a coupon for a FREE box of 20 Mule Team Borax.  To enter:
1.  Leave a comment on this post on how you would use 20 Mule Team Borax
2. (Bonus) Become a Facebook fan of Spend Less 2 Save More and leave a separate comment.

Contest open to US residents, 18 and over.  Contest will end at midnight on 1/31/13.  Winner will be posted on this post and will have 24 hours to claim their prize by e-mailing spendless2savemore@gmail.com with their mailing address.

Purex Baby Detergent - A Review & Giveaway

There's my beautiful baby girl (I know I am a bit partial)!  I cannot believe she is 5 months old already.  Time is flying by so fast and I am trying to soak up all I can from this first year with her.  My boys are almost 7 and 4 years old, so I know how fast time goes when kids are growing. 

One of my absolute favorite things in the house when you have a baby are all the pleasant smells.  Now I know, you may be thinking of all the "unpleasant" smells, but I am thinking positively here!  These are some of my favorite baby scents:

• the scent of a brand new baby
• the scent of a freshly washed baby, I just love to smell her hair
• the scent of a favorite kind of diapers fresh out of the package (no I am not weird, I always smell diapers before I put it on her)!
• the scent of fresh clean baby laundry

Yes, I love the scent of fresh clean baby laundry and the kind of detergent you use does make a difference!

Recently  I had the chance to try Purex Baby detergent.  Purex Baby detergent delivers the same bright, white clean you've come to expect from Purex, yet is sensitive on baby's skin.  Plus, it has a gentler baby-inspired freshness that families love (that's what I am talking about)!

The dermatologist-tested formula guarantees to remove stubborn stains without hurting delicate clothes, like those adorable little bunny footie pajamas my daughter has.

Like all Purex detergents, Purex Baby is specially designed to ensure proper performance for all washers, from HE to traditional top-loader (like I have) washing machines.

We are a Purex family, which means that we do not spend a fortune on baby and kid safe detergents.  Diapers and formula cost us enough already, so we like to save money on Purex Baby detergent, which costs a fraction of the leading brand, without jeopardizing quality or that fresh baby laundry smell.

I love Purex Baby detergent!  My daughter's clothes come out stain free, smell amazing, and never irritate her gentle, cute, baby skin!  I also love the sound of drying baby clothes and all that clinking from snaps and zippers in the dryer!

Purex Baby is not available in every store, I did however find it in our local Marc's store for under $4 a bottle (currently only available in 50 oz with 100 oz bottle coming soon).  Try using the store locator here to find an outlet near you!
