All Purpose Bath & Kitchen cleaner

Hey soft scrub your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind.....  (Keeping with my theme of oldies, but goodies...wait, can those even be called "oldies"?!)  Well, Soft Scrub is back at doing what it does best!  Making us another wonderful product that has multi purposes!

They have a new formula that has better cleaning power than the old one.  Plus, they redesigned the bottle AND cap!  But its still our same dear old cleaner.....Tough on stains, gentle on surfaces.  The new formula has more whitening power and less residue, for better rinsing....(Think tile, grout, sinks, and tubs).

This new bottle/lid design is less likely to spill (especially around here, when little hands think they want to "help").  What I like is that it can be used in the kitchen OR the bathroom.  One less bottle in the cupboard?  YES, PLEASE!



Also, check out the Total All Purpose Sweepstakes.  The One Surface at A Time® Sweepstakes featuring Soft Scrub® Total All Purpose!  One lucky grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and a year's supply of Soft Scrub, while 250 second place winners will receive free Soft Scrub.
You can also win a FREE bottle of your choice of ANY soft scrub product!

Soft Scrub provided a free sample of their soft scrub total all purpose bath and kitchen cleanser so I could review it.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

I don't want no scrub...

A scrub is a ...Oh wait!  I guess I'm talking about the dreaded task of cleaning the toilet.  (I am reminiscing through some old songs for post titles as of late.....)  Toilet duty is the one that NOBODY wants.  I really don't mind it too much...since we are a house of all girls (but daddy, of course).


Soft Scrub has come out with a new product to make life easier.  Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care provides long lasting cleaning and freshening thanks to its unique design and advanced formula.

What makes Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toilet Care different? Unlike other toilet bowl rim hangers that don't stay in place or that dissolve too quickly, NEW Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toilet Care provides long lasting cleaning and freshening thanks to its unique design and advanced formula.


I tried the Alpine Fresh one (Pictured ^ ).  I sure wanted to love it, but the smell was AWFUL!  I can't speak for the Saphire Water fragrance (at the very top), but who ever thought the Alpine one smelled good was missing a sense of smell.  Pee U!  The concept was great, though.  We endured the "Alpine" smell for about 2 weeks before chucking it out (because we didn't like the smell....not because it was gone)....and the toilet was cleaner than usual.  It kept the monster toilet ring away and is said to last for 4 weeks (we obviously didn't make it that long).  I LOVE the concept, and product, but they need to get some new employees that smell in there.....LOL...not smelly employees, he he he.  ;-)  I would love to see this come in more fragrances.  I intend to try the Jasmine waters one.....and I *HOPE* that it smells better.....(Of course...most anything would smell better than the Alpine one).

While were talking about fragrances, who determined that this is what "Alpine Fresh" smelled like?

So the product comes in a plastic cage that keeps it in place and when you flush, the water activates the cleaner.

If you would like to try them, you can find them at Walmart for less than $2

One lucky winner will receive $1,000, while 250 second place winners get to try NEW Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toilet care for FREE!
 
 
 You can also win a FREE bottle of your choice of one: Soft Scrub (Total, bleach clean, abrasive)

The soft scrub brand provided me with the stinky Alpine sample of soft scrub 4 in 1 toilet care in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

The ants go marching

The ants go marching....what a great Dave Mathews Band song!  But music is not the subject of today's post....  although some *ahem* older people may think that some kinds of music are pesty, annoying, bothersome, etc....I'm talking ANTS.....the real ones...the ones that 'SHOULD' stay outside, but sometimes meander their way indoors.

We were out pulling weeds the other day and found a big ant hill.  Lucky for us, I had a Combat ant killing strips package waiting to be used.  These are discrete enough to be used indoors, but since our current problem was outside, I quickly grabbed them and set them out next to the hill.  The nice thing about the strips is that the ants take the bait back to the nest and it kills the whole colony.  It worked fast.  They were mostly gone the next day.






The little strips have an adhesive backing that makes it easy to hide out of sight and reach of kids or pets....or both.....  Sometime they are ONE and the SAME!  ;-)
