Oreck Steam-It All Purpose Steamwand Giveaway!

Even though it is hard to believe that Spring has arrived since it continues to snow at my home, I have begun my Spring cleaning. Thanks to the Oreck Steam-It All Purpose Steamwand, I am getting more done, in less time and with less effort. This product is a multi-use machine that uses pressurized, "dry" steam to naturally disinfect and remove dirt & grime.

The Steam-It's low-moisture dry steam quickly removes dirt and rejuvenates flattened carpet, deep cleans virtually any hard floor surface, and reduces bacteria and germs. It also cleans windows spot-free, naturally disinfects kitchen and bath surfaces, tile and grout, removes tough stains from furniture and car upholstery, and even freshens pillows and mattresses. Think you don't have time to steam clean? The Steam-It is fast - ready to use in 30 seconds and surfaces are dry in minutes after cleaning.
I have used the carpet rejuvenation and was impressed by how quickly it worked. The bottom step of our stairs gets a beating. I was prepared to do 2 sessions at least but there was no need as it worked the first time without much work. The glass light fixture domes in my bathroom are hard to clean. I have tried in the past but was always afraid they would break if I didn't remove them completely. I used the Steam-It and it cleaned them without any problems and without removing them. The dirt literally melted off. Another feature that is unique to the Steamwand is that I was uto use the Steamwand upside down to clean the light fixtures without any spillage from the machine.
However, the most impressive cleaning job was when I used the Steam-It to clean the grout in my kitchen. I inherited the tile and awful grout when I moved in and had not been able to clean it to my satisfaction. I was excited to see what the Steamwand could do and was not disappointed. The picture above is after the cleaning and the picture below is after I ran a quick mop over the floor to clean up the dirt the Steam-It removed. The grout in the picture was still wet as I was so excited and didn't wait for it to fully dry. It looked even better and whiter and my husband was impressed - that is a hard thing to do!
Another thing my husband will like is that there are no expensive replacement cleaning pads to buy because the Steam-It comes with two washable microfiber towels and two bonnets. You can also use your own towels by attaching them to the machine using the universal clips and there are also no detergents or chemicals to buy. Money savings all around! It comes with a 6-piece attachment kit and a 1-year warranty. The Oreck Steam-It All Purpose Steamwand is safe, easy, all-natural, and a cost-effective way to clean your home.

Steam-It All-Purpose Steamwand is $169 and available at more than 475 Oreck Clean Home Centers across the country, as well as online at oreck.com.

Football Snack Bowl - Review & Giveaway

I am a huge sports fan and love to have family and friends over to watch special events like the Super Bowl or  the World Series. While the game is important, the food is really the highlight of the party, right?  Everyone has ordinary bowls to serve dip, chips or munchies in - but I now have the most fun snack bowl from Rock Concepts and you can too!

The Football Snack Bowl looks and feels like a real football but press the air inflation button and the top of the football swings open and plays the FOX NFL THEME music. It is great for the lazy snacker too, after you reach in to get your snack, the football automatically closes! It is just fun and can be used at any sport themed party and will surely entertain all your guests. It is made of a durable food grade plastic and includes 3 AA batteries. My 2 year-old has thoroughly tested its durability (he thinks it is a real football and has treated it as such) and the original batteries are still going strong & he has pressed that button more times than I can count!

See it in action:
