E-Cloth Review and Giveaway

My husband and I remodeled our very outdated kitchen about a year ago. Updating to stainless appliances was at the top of our list. We loved the way they looked- classy, and figured if we were going to splurge on the kitchen, we might as well do it right.

So, when all was said and done, we were the proud owners of a brand new stainless fridge, stainless microwave, stainless stove, and stainless dishwasher. We absolutely loved the new appliances....for the first day only.

After that brief one-day honeymoon period with our new stainless appliances, we realized what a BIG mistake we made!

We have kids, for crying out loud! Kids who love to touch EVERYTHING. Oh sheesh! Can you see where I am going with this?

Oh yes, our classy new stainless appliances were covered in little boy fingerprints (and splatters from liquids and food), and I could not for the life of me figure out how to remove them! I tried everything I could think of, but those fingerprints and water marks were there to stay. (I was able to remove the grease and food splatters, but the stainless just smeared then.) I quickly grew to dislike my new appliances.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when Nicole from Mom Fuse asked me if I would be interested in reviewing a cleaning product by E-cloth. I did a bit of research and discovered that they made a special eco-friendly kitchen pack that would work on my stainless appliances! Woo-Hoo! I was so excited to give them a try!

Product info. - E-cloth, a chemical free cleaning method that uses water to clean at a deep microbial level.Using tiny specialized fibers, E-cloth can be used to clean everything from mirrors and windows to wood, automobiles and stainless steel appliances. Since E-cloth can be washed in the laundry and is guaranteed for 300 washes, it can reduce the average family's paper towel usage by 40 rolls a year (saving $40-$80 a year plus chemical cleaner savings).

Kitchen Pack - includes E-cloth’s Glass & Polishing Cloth which is engineered and knitted thin to handle hard to remove light grease and dirt with no scratching. It is ideal for getting clean, streak-free windows and mirrors, and eliminating smearing and fingerprints from stateless steel and chrome. The Kitchen Pack also comes with the General Purpose Cloth which has a thick woven weave for removal of thick grease and dirt capturing bacteria. This has exceptional performance on stainless steel, granite, laminated countertops, glass, chrome and wood.

My E-cloth Kitchen Pack arrived, and after reading the instructions, I gave it a try. Oh. My. Goodness! It works!!! Those fingerprints and water marks are GONE! This is a miracle cloth, if you ask me. :)

I dampened the cloth, wrung out the excess water, and wiped down the appliances. That's it. It is honestly that simple. I did have to repeat the process a couple of times, some the stainless steel was really covered in fingerprints, but after a couple of wipe-downs, my appliances look new again. It is amazing!

The cloths are soft, and leave no residue. Better yet, they do not scratch the stainless steel either.

I am sold. I need to buy the bathroom pack next!

REVIEW: Greased Lightning

My youngest son is a dirt magnet. Seriously. He leaves the house every morning in clean clothing. However, when he returns home from school, he looks like he rolled in mud and markers.

I can't tell you how many stain removers I have tried to work out all those spots of dried paint from art class, grass and mud stains from playing football at recess, mustard and ketchup stains from the hotdog that just couldn't make it to his mouth without first falling on his clothing- well, you get the picture. The point is that none of the stain removers I have tried in the past have ever gotten his clothes completely clean. (Notice I said in the past?)

Thanks to Mom Fuse, I was able to recently try a stain remover that allows me to quit tossing out ruined clothes. Greased Lightning Multipurpose is a miracle for me. Truly. I cannot believe how well it works. It even took out old grass and mud stains! No more frustration with stain removers that don't keep their promise the consumer. Greased Lightning Multipurpose is the only stain remover I will ever use again!

The day after I tried the miracle product on clothing stains, I decided it was time to test Greased Lightning Multipurpose's claim that it will remove carpet stains as well. My oldest son has a white carpet in his bedroom. (Yes, I know. What were we thinking???) Anyway, he managed to somehow trash the carpet here and there by spilling juice and other unknown items onto it. I wondered if Greased Lightning Multipurpose would be able to tackle those stains as well. The result? My son has a white carpet again! No more stains.

Here is some information about Greased Lightning Multipurpose from the manufacturer:

Greased Lightning® Multipurpose
The original Greased Lightning formula is time-tested for superior cleaning and stain-fighting power. Greased Lightning conquers the toughest stains and can be used throughout the home.

Suggested uses:
Cut through grime on stove vents, ovens and microwaves.
Remove red wine, pet stains and dirt from everyday traffic on carpets.
Use as a laundry pretreat for tough stains including grease, grass and ink.
Tackle soap scum and mildew stains in the shower.
Revitalize patio furniture by removing dirt and outdoor debris.


The information I was sent claims that Greased Lightning Multipurpose would also be great to use to clean the grease from the BBQ grill. Now, that is a task I will give to my dear hubby. :)

Greased Lightning Multipurpose is available nationally* at these retailers:
Ace Hardware
Dollar General
Family Dollar
Home Depot
Lowe's
Target
True Value
Wal-Mart

*Not all products are available at every retail outlet.

Thanks Mom Fuse for giving me the opportunity to review Greased Lightning Multipurpose.
