Rubber Broom

I received the Rubber Broom with Soft Natural Rubber Bristles through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Made of single cast natural rubber
• Friction of rubber bristles with hard wood create static charge to pick up dust, hair, fluff, etc. 
• Soft rubber bristles
• Don't scratch furniture 
• Squeegee on edge of broom
• Works on hardwood, carpet, tile, etc. 

The rubber broom works to help clean up floors or small spills. 

The handle is expandable. Twisting and pulling the handle upwards allows you to expand the handle at any position along the inside part of the handle. It can be twisted to tighten and lock the handle into the desired position or height. 

The broom end is easy to twist on. If twisted fully onto the handle, the broom end tends to stay well, even during use. 

The rubber bristles are soft, but they don't always move well on some surfaces. Depending on which direction the broom is being pushed, the bristles could get stuck and make the broom skip or skid. 

The rubber bristles do create a static cling when moving on hardwood floor or carpet. The bristles will pick up and have dust, hair, and light weight dirt cling to the bristles. It can be a pain to clean the bristles off, especially picking off pet hair. 

The squeegee works to help get smalls pills or excess liquid cleaned up. It gets into a pile to help clean up the messes to make it easier to mop up or soak up with a rag or towel.

Pros:

- Helps clean up messes that are liquid and dry

- Expandable handle

Cons:

- Hard to clean off hair from bristles

Lint Remover by Furzie

I received the Lint Remover by Furzie through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Works to remove unwanted hair
• Works on clothes, furniture, and upholstery
• Lightweight
• No refills required
• Easy to clean

My dogs are tiny monster shedders. With them being part Pomeranian, they shed like crazy. When it came to removing pet hair from clothing, I had usually used adhesive lint rollers. It would take several adhesive strips to get one clothing item clean of pet hair, but the pet hair would continue to show up on areas I already went over. There's been times it would take more than five adhesive strips to get all the pet hair off a jacket. 

I had my doubts about the lint remover by Furzie. I figured, if the adhesive lint rollers couldn't free me of dog hair, how would a brush like lint roller be able to do it. 

I was so happy and surprised when I first used the lint remover by Furzie. A few brushes and the hair was gone from my pants. And let it be known, the first time I used the lint remover was after I brushed my dogs, so I was covered in hair. 

After awhile, the brush would stop picking up hair because it was already full of dog hair. I just swiped my finger across the bristles of the brush a few times to make the pet hair ball up to clean the brush off. The hair came off easily. I was ready to remove more pet hair within seconds. 

The lint remover was able to remove all the pet hair from my pants without needing any refills of any kind. I didn't really have to clean the brush in between time either, besides wiping my finger across the bristles to remove the hair. The brush didn't deposit any dog hair back on my pants either. 

The lint remover by Furzie exceeded my expectations. It's my go to lint remover to get pet hair off of my clothes after I brush my dogs. The product makes it so easy to be dog hair-free in a house with two shedders.

Facial Cleaning Brush

I received the Facial Cleaning Brush by MIRA through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Takes 2 AA batteries (not included)
• Gentle brush
• Helps keep skin clean
• Prevents clogged pores and blackheads from forming

I had not used a facial cleaning brush before I received this product. I was unsure of how well it would work, since I was not familiar with anything like this brush. I usually washed my face with my hands, cloth, or a sponge before trying this product.

The facial cleaning brush does require 2 AA batteries to allow the brush to spin when it's turned on. The battery case is snug enough to stay on, yet loose enough that you don't struggle trying to get it off. I'm not sure how well this device would be if used in the shower or if it got wet, since it does take batteries. It's better to be safe than sorry. 

The on button is the only button found on the device. It's in the front part and it's grey. It's easy to spot. The button didn't stick for me. It worked great.

The brush itself feels soft to the touch and is gentle on the face. I like to use some facial cleansers with it or just some water to help loosen things in the pores and clean my skin. Although, using the brush itself still leaves my skin feeling softer than it did before. I've noticed less blackheads since I've been using the brush. 

The brush part can be twisted off the device to clean if need be. It is a bit of a pain to get it back on and it line it up with where it goes. It took me a few tries to get the brush back on. 

The facial cleaning brush is light weight and easy to carry. The handle makes it a comfortable grip to hold the device. It's also easy to pack and take with you when traveling due to it's size, weight, and cover over the brush.

Microfiber Cleaning Towels

I received the 5 Pack Microfiber Cleaning Towels through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Pack of 5
• Works with cars, home, or appliances 
• 16" x 16" 
• Does not leave scratches, streaks, or lint
• Machine Washable 

I love microfiber towels because they absorb water and other liquids so well. I get a bit nervous when buying them because some tend to feel scratchy or like sandpaper. 

These microfiber towels happen to be very soft to the touch. With how soft it feels, I'm comfortable and confident that the towels won't leave any scratch marks on surfaces on appliances or my car. 

The towels work great to help dust, wash the car and appliances, or soak up any spills. They're soft enough that they could be used as hand towels, if necessary. 

I love that these are machine washable. I've washed them several times and it makes them easy to clean.

Oral Stericlean Uv Portable Toothbrush Sanitizer

I received the Oral Stericlean Uv Portable Toothbrush Sanitizer through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Kills harmful bacteria 
• Helps clean and sanitize toothbrush
• Takes 2 AAA batteries (not included)

When I first got this product, the first thing I noticed was that it needed batteries. The product description on Amazon never stated what type of batteries it needed. I figured it'd need some because how else would the light work? I just wish it would have been stated. 

The battery compartment can be located on the bottom side of the toothbrush sanitizer. The lid was easy to get on and off. 

 The lid of the case flips open easily. There's not much keeping the lid and bottom part together. Just two little hinges that could break easily. The lid does help make the light look dimmer, so it's not as bright on your eyes.

The bottom of the case has little tabs to keep your toothbrush in place. It works for smaller or thinner toothbrushes. Mine is a thicker toothbrush, so it was harder to get into the tabs to stay put.

The light is long enough for your toothbrush and not much more than the brush part. The light is bright and helps sanitize the toothbrush. The toothbrush santizer also works as a holder to keep it from getting dirty when not in use. It's portable, so it can be taken with you to go.

It is a bit annoying that the light turns on every time you open the case. It drains the batteries and also lessens the life of the uv light. It does have an automatic shut off for the light after a few minutes of it being on.

Luxe Microfiber Kitchen Dish Towels

I received the Luxe Home Essentials Microfiber Kitchen Dish Towels through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Pack of 3
• Color: White
• 15 x 26 inches in size
• Durable
• More absorbent than cotton

The microfiber towels are very lightweight and soft. They felt nice on my hands, so I'm confident that they'd be gentle on my dishes as well. I wasn't worried about it leaving any scratches.

The first time I used the microfiber towels was after I washed my hands. They absorbed water from my hands quickly. Leaving my hands nice and dry in less than 30 seconds. I was surprised at how quickly they absorbed the water because I'm so used to using cotton towels.

The major test came when I accidentally spilled a glass of water a few days after I started using the microfiber towel. I spilled some on the floor, which I used a cotton towel on that. The counter also had water on it, so I used the microfiber towel there. The counter had more water that had been spilled, yet the microfiber towel soaked up more of the water on the counter than what the cotton towel had soaked up on the floor. 

The only issue I have with this towel is that it's white. I'm afraid that it'll get extremely dirty and it'll get a stain on it. I'm used to using colored towels or ones with patterns on it, so I wouldn't have to worry so much about stains.

Konjac Facial Sponge

100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge

I received this pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge as a promotional item from Tomoson. 

When I opened the package, the sponge was rock hard. I wasn’t sure if the sponge would be as “soft” as the company claimed it would be. 

After getting it wet, the sponge was very squishy and soft. It was very gentle on my face. It removed the make-up I had on without any additional make-up remover or facial cleanser. I was surprised. My face felt a lot cleaner, less oily, and smoother after using the product. 

The sponge is hard to ring out, though. pureSOL recommends to try to ring out the sponge using two hands, which doesn’t always get all the water out. 

BONUS: This sponge is eco-friendly. It can be composted after use.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Eco at Heart Stainless Steel Straws

Eco at Heart Stainless Steel Drinking Straws

I got these stainless steel straws as a promotional item on Tomoson. 

I have never used a stainless steel straw before I got these. I’ve only used plastic that you can keep and wash or the ones you throw away.

These straws have a good size opening, so they’re great with smoothies. Only thing is they can get really cold after awhile. In the summer time or on a hot day, it’s perfect. You can even store these straws in the freezer to keep drinks nice and cool when you drink them through the straws. Sounded weird to me when I first read that on the promotion site. I tried it, and it really works. 

Do not drink hot drinks through these straws. You could end up burning your mouth or lips. 

I love that these straws come with a little, adorable cleaning brush. It’s made to fit these straws, so you can easily clean the inside of these straws compared to some of those twisty, fun plastic ones. 

I also like that these straws are dishwasher safe, but it’s just as easy and quick to wash them by hand. 

I just wish that there was some bend to these straws to make it easier to drink out of, but then storing the straws and cleaning them would be harder.

Adovia Sulfur Soap

Adovia Sulfur Soap for Acne, Blackheads, and Oily Skin

I received this Adovia Sulfur Soap as a promotional item on Tomoson.

Normally, I’m not a huge bar soap type of person. I usually prefer liquid soap. 

This soap isn’t recommended for dry or sensitive skin. Usually, my face is oily and my body is more dry. I wanted to see how well it worked on both. 

It made my body feel pretty dry and clean. My hand kept getting stuck on my skin when I tried to rub it after using the soap. I wasn’t impressed with how it worked on my body. It made it feel too weird. 

On my face though, since I tend to be more oily there, it worked really well. I rubbed the bar of soap on a sponge, so I did have a big bar of soap near my eyes. It left my face feeling very smooth and clean. I tend to break out near my nose and chin with blackheads. On my forehead and cheeks, I tend to get acne or zits. I noticed that I didn’t have as many breakouts as I used to after I started using this soap. 

Like Adovia stated, I would not recommend this soap for dry or sensitive skin. On oily or acne prone skin, it works very well.
