Purex and The Pool Opening May 11, 2016

Disclosure: The Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Plus Clorox 2 detergent in exchange for this product review. All opinions expressed on this blog post are my own and completely honest.

Every year around this time which is normally Mother’s Day weekend I head outside to prepare the pool for the season. Unfortunately, after uncovering it at the end of April we were then hit with weeks of cold and excessive rain so the pool and the deck became littered with dirt and leaves.

However, not wanting to wait any longer in the month for the weather to warm up I went outside on Saturday to get things cleaned up – and as you can see, got very dirty in the process!

The sun finally popped out towards the end of the day, but I still didn’t get a chance to get the pool clean. The water flow to the filter wasn’t working properly so now I have to wait for Pool Care Specialist to send a tech to repair it which was disappointing.

Thankfully the day wasn’t a total lost because at least I wasn’t disappointed in the the clean up of my clothes. It was perfect timing when the Purex brand provided me with a sample of their new Purex plus Clorox 2 Detergent to review and it turned this dirty mess back into a nice clean set of clothes.

stain fighters

I have been using Purex Detergent for many years but am glad that they have added Clorox 2 to the formula. Not only does it work on 100 stains, including chocolate, tomato, ice cream, grass and blood, but it is also safe for colors and contains an extra powerful boost of Clorox 2 stain fighters.

Now if I can only get the pool filter to give me a powerful boost then I will have the pool ready before the Memorial Day weekend!

Spring Cleaning with Baby Wipes February 9, 2013

I know there is still snow on the ground and the temps are in the teens but if you are anything like me you don’t wait for March or April to begin Spring Cleaning. Unfortunately cleaning is constant…dust doesn’t take a break AND you never own a house, the house owns you!

I don’t have a baby but because I was my grandmother’s caregiver I have several packs of baby wipes left after she transitioned. I keep a tub of them in each bathroom to use as quick cleaning wipes they are thick and just the right size to use on the countertops and faucets, if used on the toilet seat I’ll add a little Pinesol. They are are less costly than the leading cleaning wipes and they don’t contain harsh chemicals so there’s no need to use gloves

In the hall on baseboards and walls – does not harm the paint

In the bedroom – delicate enough to remove dust from lamp shades and blinds

Dusting in the family room

In the kitchen

On carpet they are strong enough to pick up hair and dirt without falling apart

Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Dress Shoes on the Cheap August 10, 2012

Tomorrow hubby and I will be celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary at our favorite restaurant in Newark. I will be wearing the blue dress that I purchased from Boscov’s and for the life of me I couldn’t remember if I had shoes to wear with it. Driving home I contemplated stopping at the mall but I didn’t want to spend a lot on a pair of shoes that most likely will be worn only a few times.
I drive by a Goodwill so I decided to stop and found 2 pairs of shoes for $4.00 each! In the past I would never have purchased second hand shoes but thanks to the recession that is no longer unthinkable.

Most times the shoes are gently worn or haven’t been worn at all and I make sure to thoroughly disinfectant them prior to wearing. I donate shoes to Goodwill all the time and there are times when women have tried on shoes in the department store prior to my purchasing them so it’s no big deal.

I spray and wipe out the shoes and straps while wearing plastic or rubber gloves, and for non-fabric shoes I use bleach and water.
