Soft scrub review and give away!

Alright everyone, time for another give away!

 Having the right cleaning supplies in your stockpile is very important. It helps you spend less on expensive brand names, keeps you home means less gas spent, and it's important to keep things clean for peace of mind and safety.

I tried it out on my sink today. I have to say it is runnier than I expected, so be careful. I squirted it all over the sink. But it took out some nasty water stains and goop my kids had dumped in. The sink has not looked this clean since we moved in! Other products tend to leave streaks.

 This is one of the best products I have used on my sink in a very long time. However, it was a little strange. I tried it out on the bath tub and it took two scrubbing sessions to remove a water ring, but it is still lingering. So pretty tough on most stains, but the water ring was a little bit much for it. I think one more round should get it all the way gone, but for the price I won't complain. It's still a product that is fairly cheap compared to most brands, and it worked very well for just about everything I threw at it. Even the bath crayon that stained the side of the tub months ago.

All in all a good product for the money. 

 I am happy to say I will be keeping a few bottles around for my sink especially.


 So who would like to add this to your stockpile for free?! Leave a comment and I will choose a winner, or winners, in 4 days. Let's get more entries so I can give more away!!!






 Nice and sparkly with just a light ring left. Maybe if I leave it to soak next time it will do better. Plus I have super sensitive skin, and when I leaned my arm in it, no reaction. So if you have sensitive skin, this is a great product for you.



I got a chance to try out Soft scrub from Purex insiders. In no way are they affiliated with me and they did not influence my review. They sent me a sample and coupons to give out.

Dry idea review and giveaway!

So we talk about stocking up on here a lot, and people immediately think of food. But what about toiletries?

Here is a little something to get you started on your own stockpile. Remember to keep a 3 month supply on hand in case of emergency, job loss, weather......whatever the reason.

So I got to try out new Dry Idea advanced dry thanks to Purex insiders. 

 I got home and tried it on. It's late in the evening and I still smell great. It's true to it's name as I'm still dry even after running after the kids for hours. So who would love to try this out too? Add it to your stockpile for free. This is the perfect product to keep in your purse, in the car, or at the house. Keep it in the cupboard so you don't run out. Keeping extra items ensures you will never have to run out in a storm and never worry about price increases as you will have a chance to watch for a good deal. No last minute paying full price.

Purex insiders sent me a free product to try and review, but opinions expressed here are my own. This is in now way sponsored. These coupons are to let some of you try it out for yourself.
