Kitchen Cleaning with affresh

One of the very best things about being a blogger is getting to try all sorts of products. I get to try out products from companies like affresh through Crowdtap, then tell my readers all about the products. I have tried out a few of the products from affresh before and have continued to use them because they work so well. 

This time I was able to try out the affresh Machine Cleaning Wipes, affresh Stainless Steel Cleaning Spray, and affresh Cooktop Cleaning Wipes. To be honest I was most excited about the affresh Machine Cleaning wipes because I know from experience that cleaning out your front loading washer and keeping it smelling clean can be a problem if you don't stay on top of it.

As a buy mom this tends to happen. Before affresh Machine Cleaning wipes we would use a rag or dirty washcloth to clean out the gunk that was on, under, and around the seals. We were afraid to do damage so we never tried any cleaners, so even though we wiped it clean the smell was still present. Well that was before affresh. Now my seals are clean and smell literally a whole load better. 

Next I was about to try out the affresh Cooktop Cleaning wipes which worked out really well. Before you go judging my stove was in storage for a year and a half and had not been cleaned before going into storage. When we first brought it to our new home, my husband and son thought we should just throw it out. 

I am a more of a fixer, reuse it before you through it out kind of person so I talked my husband into helping me clean it up. A little oven cleaner made the inside look like new while some scrubbing and wiping cleaned up the outside. The cooktop on the other hand is where most of  the damage was done due to people who were helping us placing things on top of the stove and then others pulling or pushing said things around on top of stove. Well here is it on a normal day after using stove. Then after using the affresh Cleaning wipes. Not awesome but better then it was. For a old stove it looks pretty good and work perfectly. 

Last but not least was the affresh Stainless Steel Cleaning Spray which was my second favorite of the samples sent to me. Awesome before and afters of my toaster below. I love that the spray does not drip, or run while trying to clean surfaces. Really good when you are just trying to clean up where everyone's fingerprints are. No more chasing the line of running product and then having to clean the whole surface so it looks good. Love this product. 

All in all these products passed our testing and will become apart of our cleaners to keep our kitchen looking clean and shiny for years to come.

RXBAR Taste Test

I received complimentary RXBAR products to facilitate my review as part of an incentivized sampling for Crowdtap. All opinions are my own.

I love being able to try out new products for free and one way to do that is through companies like Crowdtap. This time we were able to try out RXBAR for kids, although I assure you grownups an eat them too. 

The first thing I notices is the short list of ingredients which is great for us moms who are watching what goes into our children's bodies. I am also on the lookout for allergens to keep my daughter who is allergic to certain things, and this bar passed the test each time. 

Our family decided to have a taste test so we opened all three flavors we were sent, Berry Blast, Chocolate Chip, and Apple Cinnamon Raisin. We then cut the each into three pieces and commences trying each and every one.

The chocolate chip was ok but a little bitter, while the Apple Cinnamon Raisin was really strong on the cinnamon flavor we all thought they could boost the apple flavor in this one. As for the Berry Blast there were no complaints or suggestions. Berry Blast won first place hands down.

Verdict is my kids want to try out more flavors so our next trip out we are picking up more.

Mr. Sketch Scented Markers

This post was sponsored by Mr. Sketch® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

My family really enjoys trying out new products, this time my girls were able to try out the 10pk Mr. Sketch washable scented markers.

They had me at washable. As a mom I love quick cleanups after art time. My daughter is currently in the rain phase so she adds it to everything. Of course with new markers comes the classic rainbow to try out the colors.

She is very happy with them and we both decided we liked the watermelon scented marker the best. We also like the smell of the black licorice marker but do not like the taste of the candy.

We both agreed we would like to see the yellow banana changed to something like Pineapple but of course these are just our ideas. This was the first time we had a whole set of Mr. Sketch at the same time. These are great for those just learning how to draw as well as those who have been drawing for a while. Not great for detail work being chisel markers though.

We love the Mr. Sketch colorful scented markers to take art to a new level.
