This giveaway is over. Congrats to Kimberly and Janet F. I will be contacting your shortly!
I am quite use to living with hard water. When I lived in Wisconsin and when we lived in Aurora, we had hard water. Hard water is tough on a lot of things. However, one of the places you can really see it is in your bathroom. You will often find you have what looks like soap scum that you just can’t remove. That is where CLR Bathroom and Kitchen Cleaner comes into play. When we lived in Aurora, we used this cleaner every time we cleaned the tub. It was the only thing that take the “scum” we had off. I can only highly recommend it. Now that we live in a suburb of Chicago, we don’t have that problem quite as much. However, over the last couple of months, I have noticed that something is definitely going with our water. When you get water out of the tap, it is very cloudy (not sure what is causing that). I have also noticed that we are starting to get that “soap scum” again. I decided to pull out our go to fix: CLR Bathroom and Kitchen Cleaner. Guess what? It got rid of the mess in the tub yet again. I love this product, and I can only give it high reviews. Best of all, CLR has earned the EPA’s Designed for the Environment designation, so you know that it contains no phosphates, ammonia or bleach.
That being said, I am giving away two Cleaning Bucket prize packs! The Bucket will include CLR’s entire line of products and various tools to help you clean your house. Here’s what you need to do:

One of the many things we need to do before we have family over for the holidays is clean. Perfect Planet tries to make our lives with their new product called Squeeze and Clean Floor Cleaner. It is as easy to use as the title implies. You literally just need to squeeze the bottle onto your floor, mop with a damp mop, and let dry. That’s it! The best part is that this floor cleaner is ecofriendly. It is made without using harsh petrochemicals, ammonia, VOC’s and phosphates. You can use it on finished hardwood, linoleum, vinyl, laminate, ceramic tile, marble, grouted tile and non-porous hard surface flooring.
Perfect Planet’s Squeeze & Shine Floor Polish works in conjunction with the Floor Cleaner. Using it can’t be easier. Again, all you need to do squeeze it on your floor, spread with a damp mop, and wait 15 minutes for it to dry. You will definitely notice a difference right after your first use. It will also make your floor more resistant to dirt, scuff marks, and scratches. It contains no heavy metals, ammonia or formaldehyde.
If you read my post before this one, I have also reviewed some additional Weiman products you should also try out. Now, I know that you would love to have some of these products in your home, so I have arranged a prize pack valued at $100 for one of my lucky readers. In this prize pack, there will be:
- Wright’s Silver Polish
- Perfect Planet Floor Cleaner
- Weiman E-Tronic Wipes
- Weiman Leather Wipes
- Weiman Cook Top Wipes (a personal favorite of mine!)
- Wonder Mop
- WonderFiber Cloth
Interested? Here’s what you need to do:
1. Leave a comment on this post. Tell me what product you would like the best and/or why you want this.
2. Twitter about this contest. Please leave me your username so I can verify.
3. Stumble this post. If you don’t know what Stumble Upon is, please read Lori’s post at Blogging Cents. She explains it extremely well.

I am going to let you all in on a little secret that I am doing to do for Christmas this year. See the picture on the left? Those are stamps. I made them over at PictureItPostage and will be affixing them to all my Christmas cards this year. Tell me that isn’t the cutest thing you have ever seen? There are just so many uses for these stamps. You can do what I did and put them on Christmas cards. However, I can see them being used for baby announcements, engagements, holidays and graduations. You can’t make an invitation more customized and personal than this. Plus, you don’t see stamps like this too often. That makes it unique, and people will love it! You will be the talk of everyone you send these too!
How hard is it to make these? It is not hard at all. PictureItPostage allows you to either create these stamps on their site or you can download a program, and you can create them on your desktop. You can customize the background color and what color the text is on them too! It literally took me about 10 minute to completely put this together. Shipping took no time at all. I am 100% satisfied with this company and would highly recommend you use them also.
Also, they are having a “Get Real” Photo contest that starts October 31st. They want to see the best of the worst when it comes to photos. They want you to send them your worst pictures that you really don’t want to see the light of day. How do you enter? On October 31, head over to PictureItPostage and upload your photo. Beginning November 21, all visitors to the “Get Real” contest website will have a chance to vote for their favorite photos. The winners will be announced December 8. What can you win? They are giving away two Canon Digital SLR Camera and five PictureItPostage coupon codes good for 100 customized photo stamps. The ten first prize winners will each receive one PictureItPostage coupon code good for one pack of customized postage stamps. We all have horrible pictures — now have them work for you!
Make sure you check out PictureItPostage!
