My Favorite…..Items I can’t live without….

Okay, following up on last weeks Favorites, here’s a list of my favorite products.  This isn’t ALL of my favorite products….just the ones I can think of right now….

 

Totally Toddler

“Totally Toddler® is scientifically formulated to gently remove the most stubborn stains and odors from clothes, bibs, diapers and bedding. The combination of mild detergents and natural enzymes eliminates stains and odors while remaining non-toxic and safe for use around children and pets. Use the product safely on clothing, mattresses, carpet, upholstery and other water-safe surfaces.”

Totally Toddler is my FAVORITE!! Five Stars all the way.  This stuff gets out almost anything, especially if you get it right away.  It has an enzyme in it so it eats up organic stains and there’s no rinsing required! That means you can use it on you carpet, dry cleaning, upholstery, and your bed mattress.  Perfect for all those midnight baby accidents and it smells great!  Just spray it on, rub in with a cloth, & let dry.  Stain gone!  I NEVER had to throw away a single baby outfit for either of the girls.  Yes, it works on PET STAINS, too!  I have only found it at Babies R Us but I know you can buy it online and a few other places around town.  I buy it in bulk and keep the stain wipes in the diaper bag.

Folex

Folex is a carpet stain remover that I buy at Lowes Home Improvement.  It has gotten out every stain I’ve ever tried it on, even red Kool-aid!!  Just spray, rub, and let dry.  It also has an enzyme in it and requires NO RINSING which means you can use it anytime on the carpet, upholstery, mattress, and even on your laundry.  I give it 5 stars!!

Pic Fly Window Traps

 

 

I HATE flies.  There’s just a certain time of year that they fill up my house and it makes me INSANE!!  I could spend hours chasing them or paying the boys to catch them but a friend recommended these window traps and I LOVE them.  Just stick them to a window corner where you see flies land sometimes and wait.  I often catch a fly within seconds of applying.  Flies die quickly.  Now, you will have a sheet of fly paper in your window covered in flies so I suggest sticking it in a corner that you don’t have to look at very often.  When full (often with over 50 flies) just remove & throw away.  I get mine at Walmart.

 

 

Pikstik

I am short.  I can’t reach anything on high shelves.  Thus my love for the Pikstik.  It reaches and holds onto anything!  I use it to reach things in the back of our under-stair storage that I can’t reach.  I use it to pick up the toys in the living room when I’m too lazy to keep bending over.  I use it to pick up trash outside (and wash it, of course), I use it to do all sorts of things!  (Ryan even used one to catch a squirrel in our attic once.)  You can pick one up at any medical supply store.

 

Apricot scrub

People tell me, quite often, that I do not look my age.  I blame that on 2 things.  I have chubby cheeks and I have a skin condition on my face that requires that I use a facial scrub & expensive moisturizer to keep from looking like I have leprosy.

Every time I wash my face (for the last 10 years or more) I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub (or the Equate brand) and follow up with Oil of Olay moisturizer.  This stuff scrubs so good that I think it’s kept the lines and wrinkles away….now if I could just scrub a little harder around these crows feet!
