Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My Amazon review for my new O-Cedar Easy-Wring Microfiber mop: I need to qualify my review to disclose that I am blessed to be in a position to pay someone else to mop my floors. I can't tell if this is what she has been using this whole time but considering that I don't remember EVER buying a mop, much less a replacement head for it, there is no other less mortifying reality. Again, I'm hardly a mop expert but it appears to me that keeping the mop head (if that's what you even call it) only lightly damp allows you to exert more pressure to pick up more stubborn grime without creating puddles. Then to take off mop head, simply stand on some strands and lift handle up and the head pops right off. This, needless to say, is a testament to how easy the mop is to use (and how bad of a mother/grandmother I am.)."
"Update 8/07/16 After purchasing a new unit I found the mop was more efficient removing water than my previous one. Feb 11, 2016, A gentleman jarred my memory, about disassembling cleaning and greasing the internal moving parts to prevent seizing. I've moped and supervised many floors in my 20 plus years in the Navy, and In my life.I have never come across a mop that simplified my life as this one has. The pulley system began to seize causing the base of the foot peddle to break in half rendering it useless."
"I have dark cherry hardwood floors and a house that is practically all large windows with very few full length walls therefore the sun constantly "highlights" every speck of dirt, Black Lab hair, and paw print. It spins almost all of the water out so each mopping is done without pushing dirty water around as is the case with traditional mops and buckets. I also found there were certain positions which worked better...a wee bit of trial and error practice was required but after a couple of minutes I got in the groove and all worked well."

"This is the best product for hardwood floors."
"floor cleaner works as advertised."
"Makes my floor look great also I like how I get to save money by buying this refill bottle instead of keep paying extra for the spray bottle."
"Love this for our hardwood floors."
"Cleans and shines better than swiffer."
"Great hardwood floor cleaner."
"If you've swiped up a little spot on the floor and your paper towel or cloth looks yucky dark & dirty, it's likely that it is residue from the very product like Bona that you thought was supposed to clean & protect it. Therein is the problem itself as I have finally discovered after 6 years of hardwood floors and using Bona products. Every time you are thinking that you are "cleaning" your investment (beautiful hardwood floors) you're creating a disaster that can be very costly to remedy. All you want to do is enjoy your beautiful floors--you Swiffer them, damp mop them, and think--yeah a little Bona will give me that satisfying feeling. At one silly, crazy time, I read the bottle on back of the Bona cleaner & it recommended using the polish. After a couple of months I began researching these products and I wanted nothing more than to get rid of all that Bona residue left on my floor. I tried vinegar, and a natural orange peel ECO friendly cleaner. I ended up with straight ammonia using a Doodle Bug scrubber mop and good old hands and knee-cleaning. A safe non-toxic cleaner or vinegar & water combo is absolutely all you need--despite manufacturer recommendations. Yes that is that yuck you keep wiping off your freshly mopped floors but can't quick figure it out. Then new home and newly added engineered hickory hardwood floors. Stop at a janitorial supply store, purchase a doodle bug (the scrubber pictured, a WHITE one, be sure it is white--the least abrasive, pour ammonia on floor in small areas and lightly loosen the residue with the scrubber."

As one reviewer said, this is not the type of product you want to use when cleaning out a nasty and abused area. Stick to bleach, comet, or any other chemical and corrosive cleaner for those extra tough jobs. Do not expect it to make wood shine like a Pledge type product would."

I even began to smell traces on my clothes and my kids' clothes when we were out and I cringed at the thought that others could smell it too! I called Samsung and they suggested a washing machine cleaner "like Affresh or Tide." I had the same odor, but now it smelled like I tried to mask it with a ton of perfume! I can once again do my laundry, wear my clothes and especially wrap myself in a towel without that disgusting odor following me everywhere!"
"I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month."
"My very first clean with Affresh left me surprised and delighted for not only did it clean my machine, it eliminated the nasty smell that always transferred to my clothes thanks to a build up of mold I didn't even know about."
"I didn't understand why I couldn't just run bleach in my machine to clean it out occasionally, until I actually ran one of these tablets (free sample with my washer). The key is that the tablet goes in the washer drum, and doesn't dissolve right away."
"These usually just give me peace of mind I'm washing my clothes in a washer that isn't disgusting from previous loads."
"We use detergents and scent crystals as well as fabric softener to make sure our clothes smell fresh but the washer bowl still had a slight odor."

Best Chemical Drain Openers
Sani Sticks drain sticks eliminate embarrassing odors from drains and prevent clogged sinks.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"After reading reviews left by people who claimed these did not dissolve, and instead ended up plugging their drains, I did a decidedly unscientific test. I placed one of these is a glass of water for 30 days next to the kitchen sink. If a sink isn't used daily, these should at least dissolve if left submerged in water in 30 days. I suspect that, in people whose drains this "works" in (I cannot attest to the other "benefits" this product advertised), they have enough water flow that, after it softens up, the noodle possibly breaks apart and gets washed down the drain, and does not cause a blockage at the insertion site."
"The plumber came out and lo and behold from behind the wall he pulled out a few bloated sani sticks that had trapped debri and actually CLOGGED THE DRAIN!"
"We have a slow draining bathroom sink and we got this hoping it would help."
"They do not work as described and the stick won't dissolve, is stuck in my drain and has clogged it further, both my shower and sink."

Best Septic Tank Treatments
BIO-CLEAN is a special combination of natural bacteria and enzymes that DIGESTS organic waste found in your plumbing system: grease, hair, soap scum, food particles, paper, cotton ... etc. Fortunately the grease, hair, soap film and organic waste are food for the bacteria in BIO-CLEAN. The enzymes prepare this "food" for the bacteria by breaking down the large molecules into a size the bacteria can "swallow". Unrestricted by gravity, they spread through the entire plumbing system, devouring all the organic waste. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The details of the testing follow below, but the bottom line is, the Bio-Clear does seem to be able to breakdown organic materials and also may be breaking down bar soap While its not possible for me to examine its efficiency inside the drain pipes, I do have some confidence that this product does decompose material that may end up in my drain pipes. I will be continuing the tests and update this report should any meaningful information come out of the longer term testing. But it does appear that the Bio-Clear product does effectively decompose certain organic materials and that the bacteria/enzymes have continued to work during the short test period. I have some hope that this product may, if used regularly as directed, actually help to maintain or clean drain pipes given time. The opinions expressed are mine and are based on my observations using my test results."
"The first year, the Bioclean creates a few blockages because it loosens the sludge and hair and that debris gets stuck in those dime size canals. I pour warm water into that cup they give you, and I stir in the dry bioclean and I let that warm cup with Bioclean sit on my counter for 20-25 minutes so these little critters can COME TO LIFE, then I pour the mix down the drain and try not to use that sink or tub for at least overnight (if not longer!). Unfortunately, liquid drain cleaners, bleach and things like mouthwash can kill the living bio-clean that are in your pipes so you have to keep that in mind and read all the paperwork they provide when you buy this stuff. This stuff does work, it's all about patience, using a plunger every once in a while during that first year and building up the population as well as doing it monthly and not killing the bacteria with household chemicals."
"I have had the lines cleared, only to have the issue come back several months later. Didn't see much happening, then two days ago, I had a backup after flushing the toilet. Within a half an hour, my drains never ran cleaner, the water in the sewer drain is crystal clear, no more dirty, dank water and no backups."
