If you've been reading here long you'll know that I am all over the latest deal and how to score things cheap or even better - FREE! That being said, I am also a mom that likes to find balance between cheap and time saving. The best products are those that prove to be both time saving and money saving!
Well, Clorox offered to sponsor a post here so that I could put their Clorox ToiletWand to the test. They've also offered to give three of my wonderful readers a free ToiletWand kit to test for themselves!
The kit includes a toilet wand and 6 disinfecting heads that snap on. These heads are single use and already have the cleaner/disinfectant in them. Once you've used the head you click a button and the head pops off. They aren't flushable so you just pop them into the trash when you are done and all that is left is the plastic wand - germ free!
Here's my thoughts:
- I like the convenience - it made speedy work of cleaning the toilet bowl
- It is not too expensive - at $2.99 (retail) for refills. However, you can purchase other cleaners for much cheaper.
- I like that the germy part ends up in the trash and all that is left behind is the "wand" - so no worries that the baby will get into the nasty toilet brush!
- You still need a washcloth and some sort of cleaner or wipe to clean the seat -so the product doesn't eliminate all the hands on cleaning.
- There was plenty of cleaner on the brush - and in my trials it was plenty enough to clean two toilets - back to back before tossing the head in the trash.

I'm a cleaning freak, but never thought to soak sponges in bleach. What a great way to extend the life of them, I usually throw them out when they are still good because I'm worried about the germs & bacteria.

I have to laugh at myself, I never knew you could machine wash your kitchen sponges! That was a great tip! Money saver right there for me. Also I was reminded I need to clean the fridge handle more often!

To disinfect shower curtains, spray thoroughly with Clorox® Clean-Up® Cleaner with Bleach, let stand 5 minutes, and rinse or wipe down.

I learned about washing my kitchen sponges! I would love to try the ToiletWand =)
I never knew you could wash them either :)
I learned to deodorize drains, flush with water. Pour 1 cup Clorox Regular-Bleach into the drain, then flush with hot water.

I never thought about it but the flush handle on the toilet is definitely one thing that needs attention. You can kill the germs with Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.

I found lots of info of colds and flu, and the differences between the two.

I never thought of washing sponges in the washing machine. I usually do it in the dishwasher!
It really makes you think, when you learn all these little tidbits! I have never liked sponges and I don't generally buy them, but I totally use my cutting board all the time. It's nice to hear how to safely sanitize it!
I had no idea you could wash and clean your sponges! That will reduce waste and limit my re-ups on the sponges!
I like the tip to use Clorox wipes to clean the trash can. We love the wipes--so convenient!
I learned all the hot spotsn in the bathroom !

i will clean it more often,
I just went and cleaned my drain in my kitchen sink. I never think to do that.
I have always just cut my sponges in half, and thrown them away after a few uses. I didn't know you could wash them! That is really frugal!
