We bought this Swanstone sink when we remodeled our kitchen.  I used to have a stainless steel sink and hated it, so I decided to try something different.  I had heard a lot about Swanstone and it sounded pretty good.I do have to say that I love the overall design of the sink.  I have two seperate basins.  The overall size is 33' x 22" with the largest basin measuri...

We purchased this hanger and sink a couple of years ago and have found it to be more then adequate.  We were not looking for anything fancy just something which would keep our hose off the ground. Features * This is a basic hanger with a basic sink which was purchased at a reasonable price.  I like the fact that it comes with a sink which offers more convenience.* It will handle ...

When I first heard the name "Flylady," I pictured some monster with beady eyes, black wings, and an annoying buzz, but that's not at all the case. LOL!  Still, I wondered how someone with a name like Flylady could know anything about  cleaning.Well, she surely does. She has a web site and thousands of ladies who follow her system for decluttering their houses, and keepin...

This is a book how to get organized about doing housework -- and by extension, anything else you might want to do.  The author's emphasis is on beating perfectionism, on teaching that you can get more done if you stop believing that what you do has to be perfect. It's written by Marla Cilley, who is better known as "The Flylady," the online housecleaning guru who has hund...

Bathrooms are really hard to use if the sink is too darned small.  You also need some space to leave that brush or soap or whatever while you are using it.  The more space you have, though, the smaller the bathroom feels and looks.  A really handy and attractive compromise is a pedestal sink.  While there are no drawers and cabinets to tempt you into squirreling stuff away, ...

I am always on the lookout for new cleaning products to freshen my home. This was certainly an innovative one. It's called Plink, and it is a garbage disposal cleaner and deodorizer. There are 10 yellow balls, about the size of a gum ball, in the package. First you run hot water and your garbage disposal, to clear it of food scraps. Then you turn down the hot water to a slow stream, and dro...

If you have a cat, you know how it is. Cats sharpen their claws EVERYWHERE if not given enough of their own surfaces to use. My poor couch often bears the brunt if we've not supplied enough scratching posts/toys for kitty.Enter the SuperScratchers. Along with a tree or two (or not!), we have these throughout the house. They WORK. The cat LOVES them, and even plays with them (pouncing). They...

  My husband needed a new chair at his office so he asked me to come shopping with him.  I like nothing better than to spend someone else's money so we headed to Office Depot with a flyer full of coupons he had received from them. After looking at the line up of chairs available I started walking around the little cubicle sections set up with desks and chairs and found this little...

Yesterday, I noticed my sink was not emptying as quickly as it should. Before I knew it, all this cloudy water was being trapped above the drain, because of a clog. It was getting gross in there, so I knew what needed to be done.I went and got some drain cleaner from where I keep it in the house. I use this type from Homelife which is comparable to Drano. I found it be really thi...

We loved this faucet so much that we bought two for our band new house! Not only did they improve the look of our bathrooms by their slick look, but they were very easy to install. My husband installed both of them in just about 40 minutes! This Glacier Bay faucet has a long sleek neck and two matching sleek handles. It has a brushed nickle finish which is very shinny and beautiful. The curves ...

This cleaning aid is one of the best ideas to hit the market in long time.  When it first came out I bought the original and tried it on everything!  I used it until it was in shreds and it still worked even in it's 'little-pieces' form!  But I was going through the sponges like crazy so when the Magic Eraser Duo came on the market, I snapped one up and gave...

Modest Mouse's "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" is their 5th and latest studio album. Considered an indie band, this is the band's 2nd CD released on a major label. It is the first CD with "The Smiths" former guitarist, Johnny Marr, as a member of the band. Featuring 14 tracks, We Were Dead... is a great CD of similiar quality compared to the band's previous efforts. Although I felt "Go...

Zud is the one and only product I’ve ever been happy with for removing rust.  This product claims to remove rust and stains, and to "work where ordinary cleansers fail." I’m here to say that it really does just that.I used to live in central Indiana where the water coming out of the tap was actually orange.  Zud was just a part of everyone’s life!  Now...

Those cute bubbles in the ad don’t deliver in real life on real scum.  Put your money somewhere else.I’ve tried Dow (now SC Johnson) Lemon Scent Scrubbing Bubbles several times, and I haven’t been very impressed.  The only thing it really cleans well is messy bathroom sinks, and hot water and a little elbow grease will clean that, almost as well. It did not really ev...

I have used Drano in the past and recently decided to try it again.  Our bathroom sink has started clogging and every time the water is run standing water quickly forms.  I looked at the variety of products on the shelf and chose the Drano Max Gel based on its level of strength and supposed power to drain standing water clogs.  The bottle stated to pour half the bottle down and r...

Growing up in Hawaii we always drank water straight from the tap. The water falls from the heavens, down onto the ground & filtered through many layers of lava rock, sand & into underground wells. Then is tapped into by the Board of Water Supply & distributed to all the homes. The water there tastes crisp, clean & just pure as if it was made by angels. Well, ...

I have a white, enamel sink in my kitchen.  I really like the way it looks.  It makes my kitchen look bright and clean.  But, everytime that I wash pots and pans, the sink gets black scuff marks in it.  These were hard to remove until I found out about Barkeeper's Friend.  Barkeeper's Friend is a mildly abrasive cleanser that easily removes those ugly scuff mark...

I was surprised to find a product made by the famous bleach maker - Clorox, so environment-friendly.

I decided to give it a try and I am so amazed by how effective this product is.Clorox is known worldwide as a bleach maker but for this particular product, there is no phosphoru...
