If you drive long distances in your car on a regular basis, then chances are you experience lower back pain while driving. It can even happen on short trips if you have a history of back pain, or just an old, uncomfortable seat with little or no lumbar support. For people with chronic back pain, most car and truck seats do not provide adequate lower back support, and it only get worse as your vehicle ages. Decent support in this area of the back is key to preventing back pain, as well as relieving it once it occurs. Now you could go out and drop tons of money to install new seats in your car, and that would probably help, but most people would consider this to be drastic, and way too expensive of a fix.

One of the most effective ways to relieve back pain while driving is to support the area affected, and do your best to sit with correct posture at all times. This can be accomplished most easily with some sort of pillow or similar device that you place behind you while sitting. Many of these specialized back pillows are quite expensive, and only some of them will actually help your situation. Certain ones are notorious for going flat and becoming ineffective under heavy use. They lose their shape quickly, so over time they no longer offer the same level of comfort. Other ones are uncomfortable from the start, or contoured to fit someone else’s spine all together. These thick pillows are often made mostly of foam or something similar, so they can also cause heat to build up, leaving you  to decide between sweating or being in pain while driving. Just about every back support that is actually effective ends up being quite expensive, which is not the best, but most people in pain would happily pay a premium for something that really works.

Another situation that arises is portability. Certain back support devices are permanent installs, so they are only good for a single location. This means that if you have two or more cars, you will be forced to buy multiple devices in order to be comfortable driving every vehicle. You also may end up with a pillow that is only good for the car, and can not be used anywhere else. This aspect limits the true value of the device because even though you are properly supported while driving, you still have to worry about everywhere else you sit during the day too. This means that the pain will never go away completely because you need consistent support at all times in order to fix your posture over time, and eliminate pain as your back strengthens.

The Back Saver is the ultimate in lumbar support, and it is ideal for use in the car, truck, van or bus. It is not like traditional back pillows and it features a truly unique design that ends up being more effective and superior to most other models. It consists of a flexible metal frame that supports a mesh pillow. This makes it totally breathable and able to contour to any body shape. Instead of a solid pillow behind your back, you have a pocket of empty space to allow air to flow freely. This means that your back will remain cool without any compromise of support. As you lean back on this lumbar support pillow, it stretches and flexes to mold to your body shape. It will perfectly hug your back to provide the exact amount of support necessary. You wont believe how comfortable it is, and how quickly your back pain melts away. You can even move the pillow up or down along your seat to get the perfect feel, or flip it upside down for a slightly different contour. It is so versatile that it can be used by just about anyone, and on virtually any chair. It has a strap in the back, so you can quickly install it on any seat, or use it without the strap if you want too.

The Back Saver is a very affordable back pillow, and it provides more comfort and support than most other options. It will promote better posture while driving, which will ease back pain recurrence over time. When you begin to sit with correct posture on a regular basis, you will find that you are more alert and happier. It will also lead to better circulation which ends up delivering more oxygen to your entire body. Once you lean back on this pillow, you will find that it is perfectly supportive and incredibly comfortable. When you install the Back Saver in your car you will increase the comfort level of your seat, and allow yourself to sit for longer periods of time without being in pain.

Whats even better is that this is more than just a back support pillow for your car. It is lightweight and extremely portable so you can bring it with you when you leave the car too. Place it on your office chair at work, or use it on the couch at home. If you are sitting down, you can be using this pillow to better support yourself in order to prevent back pain all together. As you use it, you will notice less pain over time, because your posture will improve and your back muscles will strengthen in a more correct position. This mesh back support is the easiest way to improve the comfort of any car seat, and will greatly reduce lower back strain. If you have back pain while driving, then you need this pillow. The very first time you use it, you will notice the difference, and begin wondering how you ever got along without it.

Try to think of the worst possible thing a child could do to a couch, and you might say something like “draw on it with marker”. That’s because this is one of the worst possible things that could ever happen to your lovely upholstery. It doesn’t matter if it was a child that did the damage, or if you accidentally did the deed yourself. The important thing is to get that couch clean, and hopefully do it quickly and easily. Now if it was a super permanent marker like a sharpie, then this method might not work, but if it was the dry erase variety, or any of those markers your kids use, then you are in good shape to keep reading. The steps below will outline a simple and effective way to completely remove all signs of marker from your couch. It doesn’t matter if it is microfiber, leather, standard upholstery or any other kind of couch. This method will work for just about any type.

If you look at the picture to the left, you will see in picture number one, a nice thick line of purple marker on a lighter colored tan couch. Normally this would be disastrous, and everyone in the house would start getting used to the way the couch looks now because that line would be there forever. It turns out that if you have the right supplies on hand, you can easily make that annoying line disappear in no time. The marker that made this line was a standard, nothing special, child’s marker from some random art set. There is no trickery involved. This is actual marker, on an actual couch that we cleaned very quickly and very easily.

Traditional upholstery cleaners are dangerous, toxic and in many cases ineffective. You always have to be careful how much you use, what you use it on and you are left wondering if it will actually work. In most cases these regular style cleaners are quite expensive and you are not really getting a comparable bang for the buck you end up shelling out. Natural and homemade solutions are mostly extra work and pretty ineffective overall, especially for this type of stain. Please don’t try to remove marker with vinegar, it will never work.

For this type of stain, and hundreds of other ones, we recommend using Quick n Brite. It is an all natural cleaner that actually works. It is safe to use on virtually any surface, but it produces incredible results. People are always amazed at how well it works and how many things you can use it for. A little marker stain on your couch is just one of many jobs that Quick n Brite will make quick work of.

In the example to the left, we first sprayed on a heavy solution of the cleaner. This is sufficient for most general cleaning, and many tougher stains too. Just 3 tbs of the cleaner mixed into a quart spray bottle will give you this solution. We simply sprayed it on generously, let it sit for a couple minutes,  and then buffed the area with a clean, dry terry cloth towel. If you look very closely at picture number two, you will notice that after this step, there was just a very faint hint of the marker still visible. For this reason we decided to bring out the big guns. In picture number 3 you can see that we added just a little bit of the paste right where the line was. A little scratch of your fingernail will work the cleaner into the area. This step is important to break surface tension, and to make sure every piece of couch affected by marker is covered with Quick n Brite. We then let it sit for about five minutes and came back with the same towel to completely remove all signs of marker. Take a close look at picture number four to see that the purple line is completely gone.  The whole process took less than 10 minutes, and there was no scrubbing, sweating or swearing involved. In fact most of the time was spent waiting for the cleaner to do its job. We also didn’t need to worry about discoloring the couch or ruining anything about it. No gloves were necessary, and the couch was safe for people and pets to use right away. Most importantly though, the stain was gone, and it was easy to do.

WHY DOES THIS WORK?
Quick n Brite is an enzyme cleaner. When you apply it to a stain it goes to work right away breaking it apart and lifting it off the surface you are cleaning. It is almost like it is doing the work for you. This is why we let it sit for five minutes. You always need to give the cleaner time to work in order to achieve the best results. It is a plant based cleaner, but unlike many similar “natural” cleaners this one actually works. It has been around for more than 50 years and it comes with a full money back guarantee. Safe for any couch surface, and safe for use around children and pets. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or bleach, and it is 100% biodegradable. Try it for yourself and you will be glad you did. Get it to remove marker from your couch, and then keep it around to shampoo carpets, pre-treat laundry stains, clean kitchen cabinets,  and so much more.

You don’t just want to use any old mop to clean your hardwood floors. There are many types of mops, and methods of cleaning that can actually be harmful to wood. When repeated over time, these techniques and tools will actually cause damage to your floors, decrease the lifetime, and even cause them to look bad. You will want to take special care when cleaning wood floors to ensure that they look nice and last for a long time. One of the most important choices you will make is the kind of mop you use.

A lot of folks think that maintaining hardwood is a real pain, but it can actually be quite easy if you go about it in the right way. The part that is a pain is the risk of damage. You never want to use too much water on wood floors, and many mops are designed to be used with ample water that results in puddling on the floor. This can lead to damage over time because even the best sealed floors are susceptible to damage by moisture. Certain cleaning solutions will also contain harsh chemicals and other ingredients that are not good for your floors either. These cleaners can destroy the finish on your floors and even damage the wood itself. You always have to be careful that you are using the right kind of cleaner and the right amount. The easiest way to prevent damage to hardwood floors when cleaning them is to eliminate the harsh cleansers, and reduce the amount of liquid applied to the floor. This is why a microfiber mop is the perfect type of mop to use on wood floors.

A microfiber mop uses very little water and does not require any additional cleansers to get your floors clean. Just get the reusable pad damp and glide the mop across your floors to get them super clean in a hurry. You will be removing 99% of all dirt, dust, germs and grime from your floors with only a tiny bit of water as the detergent. You will be using so little water that your floors will be dry seconds after you get them clean. This means no streaking, no additional drying, and absolutely no damage to your beautiful hardwood floors.

Once mopping is complete simply remove the pad and throw it in the laundry. Our microfiber mop pads are totally reusable and can be washed hundreds of times before they need to be replaced. The advanced microfiber material these pads are made of is what makes the mop so great. The advanced material will glide effortlessly across your floor and the teeny tiny fibers will skim the surface to remove all of the dirty build-up. Microfiber has the unique ability to clean and polish at the same time, so your floors will look better than ever in very little time. A single cleaning with one of our microfiber mops will thoroughly clean the surface, and leave floors naturally polished.

If you have never used a microfiber mop, then you will be amazed at just how well they clean along with how ridiculously easy they are to use. The chore of mopping is transformed from a dreaded chore into a quick and simple task. There is no prep work of preparing buckets or filling sinks, and you will never have to go over your floor more than once or spend any time drying after you should already be finished. You will be able to get your floors cleaner in less time with a microfiber mop, and you will also save money as you use it. Microfiber mops are totally eco friendly and don’t leave any sort of residue or film on your floors. You can feel good about kids and pets getting close to the floor, and there wont be any sticky layer that only attracts more dirt quicker.

12″ Microfiber Mop
This mop comes as a set with four pads included. There are three different types of pads, so you will have one for every type of floor cleaning you might be doing. It features a smaller head, that some people find more suited to household use. The high quality pads make cleaning easy, and the advanced pivoting head ensures that no surface is out of reach. In the package, you get a dusting pad, a chenille pad, and two multipurpose pads because most customers will use that one more often.

18″ Microfiber Mop
This mop only comes with a single pad, but it features a larger head. The 18″ width means you can clean more surface area in less time, but it may be too large for some people’s homes. This one comes with a single multipurpose pad that can be used wet or dry for cleaning any type of hard floor. Use it dry for dusting and light sweeping, or get it wet to deep clean those floors. It also features a swivel head and high quality microfiber pads.

Whichever mop you choose, you are sure to have a quick and easy way to get those hardwood floors incredibly clean in very little time. You will be able to “go green” with a high quality tool that actually works. Pretty much anyone that uses one of these mops would never want to use anything else. Try for yourself and you will see just how easy it can be to clean hard wood floors.

Practically every kid likes to paint, but as adults and parents, we are quite aware of the mess it creates and therefore often prevent our kids from doing it. This is rightfully so in most cases, because when let loose, children can make some huge messes with regular style paints. You end up with painted clothes, colorful walls, and stained carpet, but your children learn valuable lessons about color, creativity, experimentation, motor skills, coordination, visualization and more. Not to mention that it is one of the few activities that can keep some children in the same spot for longer than 30 seconds at a time. We all want to be the best parents possible, so in lots of cases, it can be better to expose your child to painting rather than worry about the mess that might result. They will be able to have fun, and be creative while learning new skills.

Not only is it cleaner, but it also requires little to no supervision.

Many of us enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. It is a great way to start the day, and you can’t really beat a piping cup of morning joe. Unfortunately, coffee can also be a real mess maker too. We have all done it. You are walking around all groggy, at the crack of dawn, with your eyes half open only to trip over the dog’s toy and spill that fresh cup of coffee right on the carpet. Sometimes we get lucky and it is just a few drops, but other times the whole cup flips out of your hand only to dump the entire contents on the floor. We all know how dark and stainy coffee can be, so this is one of those common messes that looks tough, and most people have trouble cleaning. The nice thing about it though, is that coffee stains just look bad, and if you have the right stuff, and follow the correct procedure, it can be quite easy to completely remove any signs of coffee from your once nice-looking carpet. It doesn’t matter if it is a fresh spill, or one that has been set it or even attempted clean with another product. You will just use a slightly different method depending upon the age and quantity of the spill.

The first thing you will want to determine is the size and severity of your spill. Once you have adequately scoped the situation, you can gather your arsenal. For a small stain, you will only need two things, some Quick n Brite and a terry cloth towel. If your about to tackle a larger spill, then you will also want to have a Super Shammy on hand.

SMALL SPILL
If there are only a few drops of coffee on your carpet after your clumsy morning episode then consider yourself lucky. This will be a quick and easy mess to clean up. Grab your terry cloth towel and gently blot the coffee to remove any excess that has not yet soaked into the carpet. This step will make your job a little bit faster and easier. You are welcome to skip it if you like punishment. After you have blotted up any stray liquid, then it is time to get out the Quick n Brite. You can use a heavy solution spray, or either the liquid or paste full strength on this type of mess. Heavy solution in a quart spray bottle is the easiest, so that is what we recommend. Simply spray the cleaner generously onto the affected area. Once on their, work it in just a bit with your fingers or some sort of brush. After that, just let it sit for a minute, and then come back with your terry cloth towel. This time you will not be gentle. Use the towel to buff the stain out. You will see right away that the coffee is lifted out of your carpet, and transferred to the towel you are using. After just a single application most will be left with a ridiculously clean carpet with absolutely no trace of coffee. In some rare instances, or for a tougher or darker stain, you may need to re-apply by repeating the steps.

Quick n Brite works amazingly well, and it is safe to use on any carpet, Unlike many carpet cleaners offered in stores, this one does not work by using bleach or any other harsh chemical. You never run the risk of making a bigger mess or flat out ruining your carpet when you use Quick n Brite. It is hard to believe, but this little known cleaner will actually make this and hundreds of other cleaning jobs easier and quicker to accomplish. Buy it for that wicked coffee stain, and then use it over and over again on the many other things it is good at.

LARGE SPILL
If you are extra clumsy, and were not able to stop the cup from tipping, then you probably have a much larger spill to clean up. If it is a fresh stain, then you will want to get a Shammy right away. The quicker you get at the spill with your Shammy, the smaller the rest of your job will be. Place the Shammy over the spill and press down to absorb the coffee. A Super Shammy is like a sponge cloth, so it is super absorbent, but will never drip, so it is ideal for cleaning up spills. It may take more than one shot with the Shammy to get up all of the coffee, so once it is full simply wring it over the sink, rinse it clean, and then go back and do it again. Don’t worry, because contrary to what you might think, a Shammy is actually more absorbent when slightly wet, so there is no need to get a new one in order to keep soaking up the coffee in your carpet.

Once all of the excess liquid is eliminated, then you can start cleaning the stain. After the initial stage, cleaning a large spill is done in much the same way a small one is. You may want to opt for full strength liquid instead of the spray bottle with diluted cleaner though. This will help to clean it in less steps, since it is a bit stronger. Simply pour the cleaner of the area of your carpet that is currently brown with coffee and work it in. You would want to let it sit for a couple of minutes this time and then you would go in with your towel and buff the area clean. A larger spill may require 2 or three applications in order to completely clean the area, but many will be spotless in just a single application. If the stain was super big, you could also use a steam cleaner to eliminate the stain. Just add liquid Quick n Brite like you would any other carpet cleaning solution, and be amazed at how much better it cleans and how soft and fresh it leaves your carpet.

SET IN STAINS
Set in coffee stains will be harder to remove, but not at all impossible. As a rule of thumb, the quicker you clean it the easier it will be. But when you are using Quick n Brite, you can be sure that no coffee stain is too tough, and no shade of carpet is too light. For set in stains, the only difference is that you will probably have to clean the area more than once in order to get it all the way clean. This is not always true, but in general, set in stains take more work than fresh ones.  This is an environmentally friendly cleaning solution that is totally safe around children and pets. It has no harsh chemicals in it and it is 100% biodegradable. Try it for yourself, and discover how easy cleaning can be.

If you have a dog, then the beginning of summer means one thing. Shedding. Pretty much every dog does it, and it is one of the most annoying, and hard to clean messes there is. It seems that no matter how much fur you remove, there is always more to clean. It falls everywhere, and settles on any flat surface in your home or vehicle, but furniture is probably one of the worst places you find it. Pet hair collects in chairs and on couches, and will remain all but invisible until someone sits down. Now all of a sudden that nice black shirt is covered in yellow dog hair. No amount of brushing or rubbing with your hand will get rid of it all, so now you either need a great cleaning tool, or the confidence to walk around all day covered in fur.

Most people would prefer to be fur free, but it can be a real pain to clean up all that shedding fur. Vacuum cleaners can be effective, but it is quite a chore to do the furniture with one. You need to drag out all those attachments and pick up, flip and maneuver large couch cushions. This can be a time consuming chore that is best left for rare occasions and hard-core cleaning sessions only. A smaller,  more efficient tool is really better for the daily battles against pet hair. Some people end up using lint rollers to clean up the hair for this very reason, but this is one of those things that seems like a good idea until you actually do it. They can sure work well on small areas of clothing, but as soon as you try to clean a larger area it can become really frustrating. The sticky roller will get coated almost immediately so that you end up spending more time changing sticky surfaces and trying to get the hair off the roller and into the trash than you do actually cleaning.

At simplygoodstuff, we carry two different tried and tested tools that are proven to work great for cleaning up pet hair. The first one we call a rubber pet hair brush, and the other one we call a rubber lint brush. It is really a preference situation as to which one will work better for you. Essentially these are very similar tools and they both work in the same way. Depending on your taste, your pet and your home, you may want one or the other or both.

You can use either brush directly on your pet, as a grooming tool, or anywhere else as a cleaning tool. They will work great on the furniture in your home or office and even the upholstery in your car. Since they are made from solid molded rubber, these brushes will never bother your pet, or harm any surface you use them on. The rubber construction and advanced design allow these brushes to pick up tons of hair in a quick and easy fashion. There is no magic about it, but the results are nothing short of amazing. A static charge is built up as you clean that will help pull hair into the brush, keep it from flying away, and allow you to quickly pile and remove amazing amounts of hair.

Just brush using short strokes across any surface covered in hair. You will see how well it works as no hair is left behind, and your clothing or furniture is once again free of fur. Since they are made from rubber you can simply rinse the brush clean under the faucet or even wash with soapy water if necessary. You can even use the brush to scrub your dog in the bathtub too. Take it over to your stairs to quickly remove the furry build-up there too. These brushes are incredibly easy to use, and they are guaranteed to work great. Professional pet groomers, hair salons, kennels and more all choose rubber brushes and brooms for their fur and hair removal needs because they are affordable and work better than anything else available. Try for yourself and make this summer shedding season a little more tolerable.

Our microfiber bathmats are perfect for washing your pets. They are great for humans too, but one of the ideal uses for these mats often goes overlooked. Because of the many great features of these mats, they are perfectly suited for use when giving your dog a bath.

Treat your dog to a soft and comfortable microfiber mat, and you will be eliminating the bulk of the mess associated with bathing an animal at the same time. This bathmat is super absorbent, so even the amount of water a large dog creates outside of the tub is quickly soaked up and held inside the advanced fibers of this mat. This means less hair sticking to a wet floor, less water tracked throughout the house, and less of a chance you or your dog will fall on those slippery when wet bathroom floors. Microfiber absorbs water so quickly that your dogs paws will be nearly bone dry just by stepping on this mat. Just quickly dry the rest of him or her with a microfiber towel and your dog will be good to go in less time than ever before. Your dog will like the mat because of the soft feel, and you will love it thanks to the decreased messiness and the shorter amount of time you will have to spend in order to clean your dog.

Millions of tiny “microfiber” threads will soak up water like a sponge in order to eliminate wet prints on your floors and rugs and keep your house clean. Your dog will feel pampered by the super soft feel of this fluffy microfiber rug, and it even has a non-slip coating on the bottom, so no amount of shaking will cause it to move from where you place it. This feature makes your job quick and easy, but also adds to the safety of this mat. It is also incredibly easy to care for because it can be machine washed whenever necessary. Just pop it in the wash to clean just like any other laundry. This versatile bathmat can also be used under your pets bowls at feeding time too. It really keeps the spills and drips to a minimum as it soaks up every drop of water splashed by your dog. It also catches and locks in other dirt and debris, so even the food mess made by your dog will be lessened by using one of these mats.

Most people hate giving their dog a bath because it can be a real time consuming and messy job. The amount of water left behind, dripped behind and shook behind by your dog is the biggest culprit, so just by eliminating that, you can make the job a whole lot easier. This incredibly absorbent mat will soak up tons of water in order to leave less of a mess for you to clean up. This makes the whole chore a little more manageable. And when the bath is over, this mat is also fast drying. Just hang it up and it will dry completely in less time than a cotton version would.

Many types of clothing call for hand washing on the tag, but even clothes that do not require it will benefit from hand washing verses using a machine. Your garments will end up lasting longer if they’re not constantly subjected to the rigors of a washing machine. So wouldn’t it be nice if it were actually easy to hand wash clothes. Of course it would be, but most of us avoid it at all costs because it is such a pain. Suggested methods include using the bathtub or a sink, soaking clothes for a long time, using tons of water for rinsing, and spending a whole lot of time in general. The Wonder Wash is a device that changes all that. It makes cleaning your hand washables super easy and incredibly quick.

It looks a little like R2D2′s cousin, but you will be amazed at how well it works and how easy it makes the task of hand washing laundry. In just 2-3 minutes you can have clean clothes, washed by hand thanks to the Wonder Wash. It is a hand crank, portable washer that is good for every type of clothing, but since it is so gentle on your laundry, it is ideally suited for hand wash only garments. There is very little agitation involved, so even the most delicate clothes will be totally safe inside the Wonder Wash. The secret to why it cleans so well is the advanced, pressure lock lid. When you add warm water to the washing drum and seal the unit shut, pressure will start to build. This causes the water and soap to be forced through the fabric in order to eliminate dirt and get your clothes clean in very little time. Because the pressure design is doing most of the work for you, there is much less physical exertion involved when washing clothes with this device. Just a few cranks around on the handle and your washing cycle will be complete. A convenient drain spout is located at the bottom of the unit to make draining it super easy too. After your clothes are clean, simply add clean water to rinse your clothes if desired.

This unit is ideal for anyone that does a lot of hand washing. It will do a better job in less time and with far less effort. It is great for single people, apartment dwellers, traveling, camping, RVing and so much more. The Wonder Wash is by far the easiest way to get hand wash only clothing super clean in under 3 minutes.

HOW TO USE IT:
Place clothes(up to 5 lbs.) into the washing drum. Add water and detergent and then secure the pressure lid. Once the unit is closed, just crank the handle to wash your laundry. About 2 minutes of rotation is all that is required for a normal load. You will want to spin more or less depending on how dirty your clothes are and how full the load is. Once clean attach the drain spout at the bottom to let the dirty water out. You can do a rinse cycle next, or just proceed to remove clothes and dry them. To rinse, just add water to the drum with no detergent and repeat the steps. Release the pressure screw to remove your clothing.

DOES IT REALLY WORK?:
Yes. The loads come out exactly as clean as with a conventional washing machine. According to a leading university which tested the machine, it performs according to claims. It has also won many awards at trade shows, with the most prestigious one being the silver medal awarded to the portable washing machine at the IMPEX Invention Show in the US. The product has been purchased by several hundred thousand people since its invention. It has also been tested and received many positive, fully independent reviews from major print publications.

Not only does this unit make hand washing a super easy task, it is also environmentally friendly when compared to regular hand washing and certainly when compared to machine washing. You will use less water, less detergent, and absolutely no electricity. Simply hang clothes to dry or use an eco-friendly spin dyer to complete your load.

Most of us just quickly open the door, chuck in the broom, and then slam the door shut before everything falls out. But wouldn’t it be nice if the broom closet was actually organized. Sure it would. It would be easier to find what you are looking for in the first place, and when the cleaning is done, you won’t have to worry about the contents of your closet attacking you when you go to put your broom away.

The Magic Holder is a great way to get started with your broom closet organization. It won’t do the job for you, but it is a pretty cool way to keep some of your large cleaning tools up, organized, and out of the way. It is available in two sizes, the 3-slot and the 5-slot, so you can choose the right one for your specific needs. It is perfect for use in a broom closet, but would also work great mounted on the wall in your stairwell, basement, garage, or tool shed. The advanced design allows it to automatically adjust to the thickness of whatever tool you place in it. It will grab tight and hold on to tools and equipment of varying sizes without any sort of adjustment or special handling. Just stick the handle in a slot and let the tool fall. The Magic holder will grip it so that only lifting up and out will allow the tool to be removed.

You will be amazed at how much room is cleared out once you have all of your brooms, mops and other tools arranged neatly in a line on the wall. No longer will you have to be afraid to open that broom closet door because everything will be securely organized and easily found. This will also end up cutting the time you spend cleaning, and prolong the life of your tools. The heads of mops and brooms can get malformed and ruined when set on the floor or mashed into a closet, so keeping them elevated and free from clutter will actually make them last longer and work better while you have them.

The Magic Holder’s usefulness expands well beyond the broom closet too. Because it is so versatile, and automatically adjusts to account for differing thicknesses of handles, it can be used to hold more than just brooms and mops. Use it in your garage for sports equipment like tennis rackets, hockey sticks and baseball bats, or mount it in the tool shed to hang shovels, rakes, hoes and other gardening equipment. The possibilities are endless. Basically if it fits in the slot, the Magic Holder will hold it. Get several to organize stuff all over your home!

Whether you have an old washer and dryer, or one of those fancy new versions, chances are that during some portion of the wash cycle, it will shake, vibrate, or just make more noise than you would like. This sort of thing can be amplified if you have a second floor laundry, annoying neighbors below you, or just a machine that is a bit past its prime. Not only is this noisy movement pretty darn unpleasant to listen to, it is also causing damage to your machine over time, and will shorten it’s lifespan. In the worst of circumstances, washing machines have been known to walk away on people. This is what happens when the vibration gets so bad that the appliance is able to relocate itself while you are not looking.

There is a very simple way to get rid of the noise, and prevent the shake rattle and roll. VibeAway pads are specifically designed to tackle this problem. They look like hockey pucks, but really just shock absorption pads made from recycled car tires. Simply place the four pads under your washing machine to prevent the transfer of vibrations. This is what causes the noise and makes your machine jump, rock and shake all over. Once you place a VibeAway pad under each foot, you will notice an immediate difference. In the middle of each pad there is a recessed section to make sure that they stay perfectly positioned under the feet of your appliance. The virtually indestructible rubber construction will basically last forever, and does a perfect job of keeping your washer quiet and stationary. Since they are made from recycled material they are also an environmentally friendly product too.

It is quite typical for washing machines and dryers to wobble, shake and move during regular cycles. Even brand new machines with all of the bells and whistles will tend to vibrate during the spin cycle at the very least. This vibration will cause wear on your machine, and the floor beneath it. It will also create noise that can be heard throughout your entire house in some cases. These pads will help to eliminate this type of action, so that you are left with less noise and a better functioning appliance. The VibeAway pads will protect your floors, reduce noise and movement, and help to increase the overall life of your washing machine or dryer. In addition to being made of recycled content, the pads absorb vibration and allow your washer to run more efficiently, so every time you use them you are extending the life of your washer and getting more use out of the resources it took to create it.

Don’t you ever wish you could just toss out that nasty strainer sitting in your kitchen sink? They are one of the stinkiest and most germ ridden areas of our homes, but most people find themselves scrubbing and scraping just to get a little more life out of them. We often struggle with stainless mesh or plastic strainers in order to remove food particles, staining and germy bacteria. This makes them nicer to look at, but can be a real pain. This disgusting job is all but eliminated when you switch to a Sink Strainee in your drain.

What the heck is a Strainee you might ask. Well…a Strainee is a ridiculously affordable and totally disposable sink strainer. It works just as well as expensive metal or plastic versions, but has the added benefit of being toss out friendly when it gets yucky. The best part about them though, is that you don’t have to feel bad about throwing these things away. They are environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable. This means that they will totally decompose in less than five months of you discarding one. They are made entirely from corn starch, so they won’t harm animals or any other part of the environment either. Despite being disposable, Sink Strainees are pretty durable and rigid. You can reuse each Strainee for up to 2 months or toss after a single use. They come in a pack of six, and sell for an incredibly low price with free shipping on any quantity, so you can always have another one handy.

Just pop the Strainee in any standard size kitchen sink drain to prevent food and other particles from being washed down the drain. It fits down in the drain securely, and remains in place. The top edge of the Strainee will be flush with the bottom of your sink so even the smallest particles will be collected in the strainer basket. They are safe in hot water, and won’t dissolve or anything funny like that. You can use them over and over or toss whenever necessary. No more scrubbing dirty old strainers. Just throw it away when it starts to stink, gets stained, or just has a lot of yucky stuff in it. And because there is no impact on the environment, you don’t have to feel bad about it being disposable either. Try Strainee today and discover the joy of being able to toss out that gross little sink accessory whenever you want.

Below is an actual customer testimonial comparing our commercial grade shammy with the now more well known Shamwow. We have always carried the highest quality shammy available, but sometimes it is best to hear it from an independent party.

TESTIMONIAL:
Re: my order for your Commercial grade 100% rayon shammys: I initially bought Shamwow from the TV ad and later to save money and get the 20 x 27″ size, I bought one on Ebay then bought yours. I am writing this to let you know that yours is far superior: not only thicker than the others, but when I put 1 tsp. of water on all three, yours absorbed it better than the Shamwow. The water actually pooled up on top of the Shamwow then slowly disappeared. When I looked under all three, there was little water under yours and the other one, but most of the water under the Shamwow was now sitting on the counter!! This test was before any of them had been laundered.

Sue B

OUR RESPONSE:
Thank you for contacting us with this excellent testimonial. We are glad to hear of your satisfaction. As you have noticed, we carry the best shammy available. Shamwow and many of the others are just cheap look a likes. Ours is commercial grade which means it is, indeed, thicker and more absorbent. It will also last much longer and launder better.

Our shammy will always outperform any version advertised on TV or any of the other knock offs. We have been selling this high quality cloth for more than 25 years, and it is still the best. You are able to absorb an amazing amount of liquid, and it is held in the shammy which will never drip. It is like a big sponge cloth. Use it for cleaning up spills, wiping counters, drying pets, detailing your car, under the dish drying rack and more. The possibilities are endless.

Our shammy is a higher quality than virtually anything else on the market and we offer it at one of the lowest prices too. We also offer free shipping at any quantity, which makes it an incredible deal. Anyone that uses them quickly can tell the difference between our shammys and all of the other second rate cloths designed to look the same. Try them for yourself and you won’t be dissapointed. We are so convinced that they will work great and you will love them that we offer a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee.

Evriholder Products, Inc., has expanded its  Storage & Organization line to include the new Hang ‘N Hide Laundry and Clothing Holder. Evriholder is known as an innovator of uniquely functional items, and has designed this compact clothes hanger to facilitate hanging clothes in the laundry as they come out of the washer or dryer. This allows for a convenient way to  air dry and or “hang out” clothing prior to folding or transferring  to a bedroom closet. Of course the Hang ‘N Hide can also be installed in a bedroom closet or on the back of a door to instantly create additional clothing storage where none was previously. It is also well suited for use in your garage,  basement, guest room and more.

As with all of Evriholder’s products functionality and design integrity are key. The new Hang ‘N Hide Laundry and Clothing Holder looks sleek and compact in its closed position, and it is incredibly easy to use, and highly functional in its open position. It collapses to remain out of the way when not in use, but then quickly and easily pops out when you need it. Utilizing a combination of high density plastics and metal, this laundry rack is a sturdy and durable addition to your laundry room or closet.

There have been lots of innovations to garage storage & organization and in the cleaning area, but very few have focused on the laundry area. Most people do not already have a specially designed space to air dry garments, but most would agree that an item like this would add great convenience, and save time and money. The Hang N’ Hide solves the problem of where to hang clothing as it comes out of the washer or dryer. Its good looking, functional and stores flat on the wall when not in use.

Gary Seehoff, Chairman of Evriholder commented: “We all struggle with laundry and space; the Hang N’ Hide Laundry and Clothing Holder is a real help when taking clothes out of the washer and or dryer and getting clothing organized before transporting it to the closets in the bedroom section. We’ve all done laundry and piled it up, often in several piles – one for the adults and perhaps one, two or three piles for the kids and then transported them to the bedroom, only to unfold and then hang them again – with the Hang N’ Hide you eliminate the second step by hanging your clothing on the hangers as they come out of the dryer and transport them on hangers directly to the closet. We also all have clothing we want to air dry like that special blouse you don’t want to put in the dryer – Hang N’ Hide facilitates the process right there and then.”

Evriholder has used the highest quality resins and sturdy metal to ensure strength and rigidity in this product and ensuring it will take the weight of up to seventeen pieces of clothing or more. The most clever part of the Hang N’ Hide Laundry and Clothing Holder is the way it folds down and out of the way when not in use. The design is slick, sleek and compact. In its closed position it measures 25.5 inches long, is under 2 inches wide and just 1.75 inches deep ensuring its neatly stored and out of the way when not in use.

Opening and closing the unit is easy and simple. To open you simply grab the two exterior arms and pull them open and then slide the hanging bar to the end where it automatically locks in place once fully opened. To close the unit, you simply slide the hanging bar back into its housing, and close the exterior arms which fit compactly into the hanging bar – it’s as simple as that.

Each unit comes with screws to be used if screwing directly into wooden wall studs (the mounting holes are positioned to ensure the screws go directly into the studs), and screws and toggles if mounting onto dry wall.

QUESTION:
FAQ talks about sweeping up pet hair. What about long human hair in carpets. It ruins roller heads on vacuum cleaners.

ANSWER:
Absolutely. This broom is great for any kind of hair, and on virtually any surface. It is especially good at pulling hair out of carpet. We sell many many of these brooms to hair salons, kennels and groomers because they work so well on hair. If you are trying to remove long hair in your carpet you would want to use short deliberate strokes. This will build up a static charge that will pull the hair up and out of the fibers. The Sweepa Rubber Broom works so well that you can actually pull out hair that even the best vacuums leave behind. This broom is best used as a pull broom on carpet, so you will want to use short even strokes to pull the hair towards you and out of the carpet. You will notice that the hair doesn’t fly all over the place because it is statically charged. As you sweep, the pile of hair in front of the broom will grow and grow as you quickly and effectively remove those pesky long hairs. The best part about it though is that it will also outperform your regular broom for normal tasks too. Use it on any hard surface to thoroughly clean with less effort, and eliminate dust and hair from flying all over the place. It is also virtually indestructible and it doesn’t ware out. This high quality broom will last for years.

QUESTION:
I wish to clean my two leather couches entirely. They have accumulated a light soiling along with a disagreeable odor (probably from body oils). The color is a light tan and is about 5yrs. in age. Your product intrigues me because of it’s ease of use. Never having cleaned “leather” before makes me alittle uncomfortable but am willing to try. They measure 94″ and 72″ respectively and are heavily padded. I would prefer to use the liquid Quick and Brite. Please let me know how much to purchase and how to go about this. Thank you in advance.

ANSWER:
You should be fine with either version, but the paste will always be better for tougher cleaning jobs. The main thing with leather is to keep it as dry as possible while cleaning it, because water alone can leave staining. This is another reason why the paste might be easier overall. If using the liquid, a single 64 oz container would be more than enough. If you go with the paste, the 30 oz size would be plenty. Regardless of which version you use, the application is very similar. Basically you will want to apply a small amount of the cleaner directly onto the areas you wish to clean. This can be done with a sponge, a cloth, your hand, or something more abrasive like a brush. What you might want to use will vary depending on the exact surface and type of soil. As you apply the cleaner you will want to sort of work it into the stain. After that just let it sit there for a few minutes to give the Quick’n Brite time to work and break up the staining. After it sits, take a dry terry cloth towel to buff the couch clean. You will see all of the dirt and grime transfer to the towel, and you couch will be left clean and conditioned. You may have to apply the cleaner again to the most dirty areas, but one application should be sufficient for most areas. It is also easier if you do sections of the couch at a time. Do not try to apply cleaner to the whole couch at once because it will make the job harder, and could lead to more problems. If used correctly Quick’n Brite is extremely effective for cleaning leather. It is safe for all surface types and colors, and for the most part, you don’t have to worry about it ruining any surface you use it on. This all natural cleaner has the unique ability to deep clean your leather couch and condition it at the same time. Not only will you achieve a cleaner surface, but the material will feel nice and soft to the touch when you are finished.

Have you ever wanted to make your own french fries at home? Wouldn’t it be great to prepare a healthier fry with less fat and more of the seasonings you like best? This can be a  tastier and more beneficial way to enjoy this popular food. Many of us have probably thought about making our own french fries and then quickly decided that it was a bad idea.

How would you ever be able to make those fancy cuts? or Wouldn’t it take forever to turn a whole potato into all kinds of thinly cut fries? Well if you were to attempt the task with a regular knife then the answer to those questions would be yes. Too hard. Too much time. And what a hassle.

The Borner Wave Slicer makes  the task quick and easy and also does some other jobs too. It can make waffle fries, wavy cottage fries, or traditional looking crinkle cut fries. It is all in how you use it, but whichever type of fry you are cutting, the Borner Waffle slicer makes it incredibly simple. It is a German designed kitchen gadget that features a super sharp blade, superior construction and quite simple operation. It is an affordable device that would make the perfect addition to any kitchen. Gourmet cooks and novices alike will love this Borner slicer because they will be able to achieve perfect uniform results each and every time. It does not take any special skill to operate.

CRINKLE CUT FRIES
To make crinkle cut french fries simply take your potato and secure it to the safety food holder. Set the slicer to the ridge or wavy cut. Then just slide the potato along the device and past the blade. Be sure to apply even pressure in order to achieve the ideal thickness of slice. You will slice the whole potato into wavy slices. Once this is done, simply stack the pieces back together and place them back in the food holder sideways. Now when you slice the potato you will have perfect looking crinkle cut french fries as your result. This whole process takes just seconds once you are used to operating this slicer.

WAFFLE FRIES
Making waffle fries is even easier. Set the slicer for the waffle cut and secure your potato in the food holder. Make a single pass along the slicer to make the first cut. You will notice ridges on the end of your potato. After the first pass, just make a quarter turn and slice it again. Your first waffle fry is now cut. Simply rotate back and forth as you cut to slice multiple waffle fries in just seconds. They will be perfectly cut and of a uniform thickness.

WAVY FRIES
This is the easiest one to do. Just set the slicer to wavy cut, secure your potato and slice away. You will get perfect, professional looking slices quickly and easily.

Once cut you are ready to season and cook your fries to your liking. They can be baked or fried, and seasoned with any number of spices. Once you discover how easy it is, and how great the fries taste, it will be hard to go back to store bought versions again

MMMMMMM…Edible Play Dough.

Introducing Yummy Dough, the world’s first play dough that is actually intended to be eaten. We all know that kids have been munching on clay and play doh for years, but this stuff actually tastes good, and contains ingredients that are designed to be ingested. It comes in a box containing four packages of dough mixture. There are four different colors and each one can be mixed with the next to create any color under the rainbow. Simply add a small amount of water to the mixture and stir it up. Once mixed, give the dough a good kneading and it is ready to go. Kids can squish, squeeze and create just like regular modeling clay, but with Yummy Dough they can snack as they play. Children love the bright colors, squishy texture and outstanding flavor. Once a creation is finalized, just pop it in the oven on a cookie sheet for 15-30 minutes. After it is done cooking you are left with a warm, delicious treat that is ready to eat. Children will have the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands, and getting to eat it makes it even better. The finished cookies taste great and retain the bold colors.

Your kids will have hours of fun molding and shaping this unique play dough. They will be able to create all sorts of colorful Yummy Dough creations thanks to the excellent texture and four color varieties. This is a super fun activity that is great for kids that like cooking, little artists, or any other child that enjoys squishy dough and eating sweet treats (the latter is pretty hard to come by we know ). Let their imaginations run wild as they create bugs, animals, shapes and faces. The possibilities are truly endless. This stuff is so fun that mom, dad, grandma and grandpa will want to join in too. Yummy Dough is a great activity that the whole family can enjoy. It is perfect for rainy days or those cold winter afternoons. Regular clay tastes gross, but kids eat it any way. Just imagine the fun they will have and the reactions you will get when their play dough actually tastes good!

You can’t really mold anything good out of cookie dough, and traditional clays and doughs are not intended to be eaten. Yummy Dough combines the best parts of both worlds. It is a colorful modeling clay that is sweet and delicious!

A julienne cut is a fancy sort of cut that can add appeal to almost any dish. Some recipes call for vegetables to be julienne cut specifically, but it is a technique that you can use to improve the presentation of many dishes. It also allows vegetables to cook more evenly so you end up with better tasting food as well as better looking food. Use it for stir frys, salads, desserts and more.

Julienne is not a type of vegetable, but rather a way of preparing them. They are often included in a meal that is French in origin but are also used for Asian dishes or salads. You can even julienne an apple or chocolate for that special homemade dessert. The main vegetable being sliced is usually quite hard because these types of food produce the best results. Veggies such as carrots and zucchini are easily sliced into the tiny sticks that are the finished product. If done traditionally it can be quite a task. In order to do it right and get good results, you need to have the right kind of knife and a certain amount of skill. It can take a decent amount of time to do correctly if you are slicing with a regular knife, but a specialized tool can make the task quick and simple.

What does it look like? A julienned vegetable has four sides and basically looks like a long stick. The original fruit or vegetable is divided into rectangular slices and then chopped into stick-like pieces. These resulting “matchsticks” are usually an 1/8″ – 1/4″ thick and about two inches long. You will typically see them on a plate as a series of long, thin strips. These vegetables may lie under the main dish or next to it, depending on the chef’s preference. They can be used as garnish or as an integral part of a recipe.

TRADITIONAL METHOD:
A sharp, non-serrated  knife works  best. A serrated knife will saw through food.

1. Clean your knife and cutting surface
2. Peel fruit or vegetable as desired
3. Trim away any roots or stems prior to slicing
4. If the food you are cutting is round, slice it in half first and place it on the flat side to prevent rolling
5. Cut the edible part of the vegetable into slices about 1/8″ – 1/4″ inch thick. Cut around or remove seeds as needed
6. Take these slices and cut them again to create 1/8″ – 1/4″ thick sticks.
7. If desired, trim sticks to uniform length ( about 2″ long)

CAUTION: The above method requires a sharp knife and a careful eye. If one or more of these requirements are not met, you may be in trouble. The knife must be sharp enough to cut through the vegetable without using so much force that you end up breaking the vegetable. Also, due to the  small size of the final result, you must be able to work the knife close to your fingers without cutting yourself. Be careful and practice with an easier vegetable, such as a zucchini, before moving on to more difficult vegetables like a green beans or carrots.

SIMPLY GOOD METHOD:
Why use a big dangerous knife, when you could spend less time and frustration with a specialized tool. Sure they are only good at julienne cutting and a regular knife is so much more versatile, but when you take the hard part out of the job, you may find that you actually julienne vegetables when it is called for rather than decide that it is too difficult. A julienne peeler or julienne slicer can make the job a quick and easy task, so you won’t mind doing it. In just a few seconds you can do enough carrot for your salad or stir fry.

JULIENNE PEELER - This Swiss made gadget is perfect for small jobs or to quickly jazz up any dish. Simply run the peeler along your veggie to create perfect uniform strips in a flash. The super sharp blade and ergonomic design make it easy-to-use. It is dishwasher safe and requires absolutely no skill.

JULIENNE SLICER – This one is best used for larger jobs, or in kitchens that julienne a lot of food. This commercial quality unit cuts in both directions to make the job super quick. It is a German made gadget that is incredibly sharp and works great. It sort of looks like a mandoline slicer, but it is specialized for just the julienne cut.

Discover a quicker, easier and safer way to julienne vegetables. Stop cutting with a knife, or not cutting because you only have a knife. These affordable alternatives offer a specialized method to create professional quality cuts. Improve the look and taste of your favorite dishes, and open yourself up to new dishes you never though would be possible due to the difficulty.

PlaSmart Inc. is thrilled to introduce PERPLEXUS – a 3-D labyrinth game with 100 barriers, twists, turns, and cliffhangers. PERPLEXUS may well be the biggest time waster since the invention of the Internet.

PERPLEXUS is enclosed in a transparent plastic sphere. It provides hours of fun and frustration as you twist and turn the sphere trying to maneuver a small, steel ball through an intricate labyrinth of narrow plastic tracks. Navigate obstacles of varying difficulty to reach the end.

Debuted at the 2009 Fall Toy Preview in Dallas, a number of major game buyers believe Perplexus will be the next big craze, rivaling previous brain teasers. We’ll take that as a compliment.

PERPLEXUS was invented by 3-D design teacher Michael McGinnis who began his project in the late 1970′s and originally named and marketed it as Superplexus. Through years of experimenting and design, it was developed into a finished product with the help of KID Group, a toy invention and licensing group.

PERPLEXUS is addictive…once you try it, you’ll be hooked! Good, clean, frustrating fun sure to entertain the entire family.
