Soft Scrub Total Cleaners Review and Giveaway

How you seen the new Soft Scrub Total on your store shelves?  Did you think about purchasing it but wanted to know more before spending your hard earned money?  Well that's what I'm here for.  I'm doing the review for you.  But that's not all, I'm going to have a giveaway so you can try it yourself too. 
This is gonna be a WIN-WIN because thanks to Soft Scrub, I'm giving away 2 COUPONS FOR A FREE BOTTLE  OF SOFT SCRUB TOTAL! Yep, that means 2 Cotton Pickin Cute winners will be randomly chosen by Rafflecopter.

Now, lets get back to that review I told you about.

Shower Door with hard water deposits before Soft Scrub Total.

Shower door after a quick wipe with Soft Scrub Total. (Note: I just cleaned a small area for the photo and you can see some of the portion I didn't wipe in the photo)  Love how clean it looks.

The shower knobs after on the left and before Soft Scrub Total on the right.

You can clearly see the before and after on the pictures I've posted.  I decided that showing the before and afters on the shower door and door knobs was the best choice. The natural stone look of the tile, doesn't lean itself well to before and afters photos.  We have really well water.  Here in Florida it leaves really hard calcium and rust deposits, if you don't have a softener.  Ours broke and it's driving me crazy.

Our shower has frosted doors, all though I love clear glass, I'm so grateful I didn't get it now because what a nightmare it would be to keep clean with our hard water and I would go nuts if I had to see a spotty door all the time.  Believe it or not, I do clean my shower and scrub the tile.  The door gets wiped down with a cleaner but we normally don't see all those spots you're seeing in the picture.  I angled the camera to get a really good view of the before.  With the flash it really shows up. 

Now to tell you what I think of Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl....

Lets talk about the patented trigger that you can use to deliver a fine mist or a thick foam.  It's as easy as the flip of the screen.  Another huge benefit of this bottle is that it works UPSIDE DOWN!  I hate it when a bottle stops spraying when I turn it to reach those hard to reach places.  That's way I think this is so awesome! 

You can see in my first picture that I used the thick foam.  I love that feature because it clings to those vertical  areas where you need it to work.  I could see a difference when I sprayed it on and immediately wiped it off, but spraying it on and letting it sit for a few minutes worked even better.

This one product cleans & deodorizes the entire bathroom - even the inside of  toilets!  Finally I can get rid of the collection of products that I now tote from bathroom to bathroom. Just having one bottle of Soft Scrub Total Bath and Bowl Cleaner  frees up valuable cabinet space for me too.

Another plus is there is now harsh burning chemical smell.  It has a much cleaner smell than most cleaners. 

I also got the chance to try the Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Cleaner with Bleach.  It's also made to work on tough stains.    You can use this in the kitchen on  stainless steal, sealed granite, glass, plastic laminate, sinks, microwaves, bathtubs, shower and shower doors, toilet bowls, chrome, faucets and fixtures.

Although it says you can use it on sealed granite, I'm don't like to use cleaners on mine.  I did use it in and on the microwave, stainless refrigerate, plastic and more in the kitchen.  I loved how clean everything smelled when I was through, not to mention how everything sparkled.

Now, I bet you'd like a chance to win a coupon for your own FREE bottle.  Two (2) Cotton Pickin Cute Winners will be chosen.  The giveaway ends Sept 29th.

It's as simple as following the easy steps on the Rafflecopter form below.  As always please let me know if you have any questions.  I'm happy to help you with the entry form.
And don't forget to Enter the Soft Scrubs Tough and Gentle Sweepstakes where you can win $1,000!  There will also be 50 2nd place winners who will receive $40 if Gift Cards.  The sweepstakes ends 10/5 at 3 p.m.

The Glade Expressions Collection Review & Coupons

Invite artfully designed, true-to-life fragrances into your home.
I've always been somewhat of a stickler when it comes to the smell of my home.  I want a scent in my home but not one that knocks you over.  I want it to be soft and refreshing so I usually use plug ins (which can sometimes be a little heavy).  I also love reed diffusers, you know the kind with sticks in a bottle of oil.  I can't use them anymore.  Let me just say kittens and those don't mix.  They will drive you crazy playing with them and making a mess.

Well now we have a new option.  Glade Expressions Oil Diffusers.  No spill, no mess, no sticks to attract Kitty's.  It's prefect and it looks like a mini object 'd art on your table.  You know entertaining is all about presentation. Creating a welcoming space takes work, so having your home décor do double duty is, well, ingenious.
The Glade Expressions® Collection is inspired by art and designed to be left out on display. These authentic, easy-to-use home fragrance products release scents that open up note by note, filling your home with lightly layered fragrances and inviting life in. The breakthrough line also includes the Glade Expressions® Fragrance Mist comes in a chic holder that blends with your décor for a burst of fragrance that's always out and available. Simply squeeze to release a light mist of fragrance.  Once it's all gone simply refill the holder with your favorite true-to-life scent.  Finally a spray mist I can leave out.  I couldn't stand to see the old spray air fresheners left out so I would put them away and of course forget all about them.  Problem solved now.

With four inspiring fragrances to freshen your air, modern holders that complement your (already fabulous) decorating sense and the opportunity to refill scents at your convenience, why not invite the Glade Expressions® Collection into your home before the next round of guests?
Here's a rundown of the fragrances you're about to invite into your home, courtesy of Glade Expressions®:



Cotton & Italian Mandarin - Open your home with the bright, breezy blend of cotton and sparkling citrus, honeydew and sandalwood*

Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice - A ripe, spicy blend of sweet pears and crisp apple with a dash of cinnamon and clove that warms and invigorates

Lavender & Juniper Berry - Lush lavender blends with fresh juniper berry, eucalyptus and rose to relax the senses and open your home

Mangosteen - Evoke a tropical paradise with the blend of freshly cut pineapples and hint of tangy mangosteen, creamy coconut and passionflower

*Available in Glade Expressions® Fragrance Mist only.

OPEN UP AND INVITE LIFE IN™

What I think - The Positive

I really like the removable label on the Glade Expressions Mist, it's nice enough to blend in to any decor.  I would like to see a few other colors or maybe a raised design on the holder.chic enough to incorporate into any décor.  I use a mist for a quick spurt of freshness, like in the bathroom,  around the liter box, or just before opening the door for guest.

The oil diffuser has a great look too.  I can envision them coming us with designs for all the major holidays and seasons, as well as themes like the beach, baby's room, child's room and more.  I love that it's spill-free design fills living spaces with fragrance for 30 days.  No batteries to replace and no plug in means no electricity cost.  There's also the Fragrance satisfaction guaranteed or your money back*

What I Think - The Negative

I had trouble finding Glade Expressions.  I went to one Walmart and couldn't find any.  Another Walmart only had the Pineapple & Mangosteen.  I didn't care for that fragrance to much.  Winn Dixie had the Cotton & Italian Mandarin but I was still searching for the Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice and the  Lavender & Juniper Berry.  I found both of them at Kmart.  The prices are a little high so I'll only be buying them with coupons.  Walmart did seem to have the best price but not the best selection.  Plus there were very few on the self and placed low so they were hard to find.
