I googled and found several different products. Which one do you mean exactly?
Huh. It never occurred to me to use the Magic Eraser on my bathtub or on the floors. Now I’m looking around the house and thinking about all sorts of things that I could clean with it.
You took mine! For years my mom paid an exterminator to control the ants in her house. Now it’s done with Terro. The house gets ants about once a year and with Terro, the ants are gone in 2-3 days. Other products haven’t worked at all. Terro rocks!
Wolverine boots. Feel broke in as soon as you put them on, and have lasted years without the stitching coming undone, or the sole cracking. Best $120 I ever spent. This boot specifically.
My Gerber Air Ranger clip knife. Holds a wonderful edge, and the textured stainless steel handle is simply never going to break, cleans easily, doesn’t get slick and slippery when your hands are greasy like plastic/rubber, and slips in and out of your pocket with ease.
Is that a vaccuum cleaner making that giant “woosh” sound? :dubious:
Wow, lots of love for Rain-X. I was just looking at that stuff when I was in the windshield-wiper section of Wal-Mart, wondering if it worked.
Zilactin is indispensible if you’re prone to canker sores. I’ve tried other products which also form protective coatings over them (Orabase, Anbesol Canker Sore Relief), but the Zilactin coating holds up the longest. An Orabase coating only lasts through a few minutes of a meal, and both Orabase and Anbesol only last for half an hour under normal wear before peeling away. Zilactin sticks long enough to make it through a meal, and can last for a few hours under normal wear. (Anyone ever try the newish canker sore patches?)
Glide dental floss. The only thing which can get between my teeth without shredding or snapping. Great for teeth with narrow spacing or for teeth with rough fillings which would shred traditional floss. I think there are other similar flosses out now, but Glide sold me years ago when it was the only such product on the market.
Although I am seriously thinking about getting the “pocket mop” (the second one on the list).
I did. I don’t remember the brand. Cost me about $10 and didn’t work worth a damn.
I recommend Iodine for canker sores. You feel it of course but briefly. One or two applications does it.
If you can find it, I find the product that’s added to the windshield fluid to be far superior to the regular. Of course, applying the “regular”, then using the additive, is the best of all worlds.
Sorry I got in there first, **AuntiePam, **but as you know, it works like Magic! 
I use regular Tide and found (regardless of water temp) Cold Water Tide did not get out greasy stains (of the ‘oops, I dropped a bit of fatty food my shirt variety’) as well as regular Tide.
Terro was helpful with our latest ant invasion. But I think the thing that really put us over the top was trimming all bushes and trees back from the house and deck. We had an exterminator come twice, and he finally said, “Look, nothing I do will get rid of them until you trim the bushes.” Now we have neater bushes and no ants in the house.
I ADORE my Reach flosser. I always hated flossing because it required cutting off circulation to my fingertips. No more! You also don’t have to try to fit both fists in your mouth to get the molars.
Have you noticed how much clock radios suck? Somehow they never work in a user-friendly way. I much prefer my Timex Indiglo travel alarm clock (almost exactly like this). The beeping is not grating and over-loud like some alarms are, and I can set it in the dark without turning on the lights and waking myself or my partner up (or using my BRIGHT cell phone display with the same results. Bonus use - works as a subtle flashlight to check on sleeping kids without waking them up. And of course it’s portable and takes up almost no space on my nightstand.
Seconding (or whatever) Shout Color Catchers, Simple Green, Rain-Xl, and the Glock 9mm pistol. Especially the Glock.
For dark clothes, I use Woolite for Dark Clothes. Use cold water and turn the clothes inside out to help prevent fading, too.
Dyson DC-07 is a great vacuum. I have multiple pets, including a super-shedding Lab, and it picks up a lot more hair than a bagged vacuum ever did.
Kaboom is a great cleaner if you can’t handle fumes. The Never-Scrub for the toilet is awesome, too, works better than the blue tabs.
The MagicJack USB internet phone adapter. You have to have it plugged into a powered on computer with a broadband internet connection but I love the darn thing. I only have a cell phone (no land line) and whenever I worked from home I would burn through my minutes. (I can’t expense my phone as working from home is an option, not a requirement) $40 gets you the magic jack and service for a year. You can use a standard phone handset or a microphone/headpphone combo or the computer speakers as a speakerphone. The voice quality (at least on my ISP) is indistinguishable from a regular landline. I love the thing.
It’s saved me a ton of money in the two months that I’ve had it.
OK, true confessions: I am amazingly lazy about cleaning my floors, as in a thorough clean when overnight guests come, maybe twice a year. If I Swiffer first to get loose dust, etc., off, do you think this mop will blast through ground-in dirt? (I know it says it does but that seems too good to be true.) If you clean more often, you may not know the answer, and that’s a good thing!!
Can someone tell me just the moisturizer does from Proactiv Solution?
I use the Renewing Cleanser and Repairing Lotion to good effect, but stopped using the moisturizer a long time ago and never noticed a difference between when I used it and when I didn’t.
Does it just make my face baby-ass smooth?
My college roommate suggested you use old newspaper instead of paper towels to clean mirrors and windows. She said it does the same quality of job and leaves less lint behind. She was 100% correct.
When I worked in a video game arcade we used to use newspapers to clean the screens and it worked brilliantly. A mixture of Methylated spirits & water sprayed onto the screen then wiped off with old newspapers made them super-clean, no matter how old the cabinets actually were.
My own addition to the subject is “Mother” energy drinks available here in Australia. Most of them (V and Red Bull), at least in my experience, tend to be about as effective as a can of coke at keeping me alert, but Mother has some serious punch in it- it’s the only energy drink I’ve tried that really does wake me up and help me concentrate.
Of course, since it comes in 500ml cans it’s best consumed in moderation (I have maybe one can a fortnight, when I’m working on assignments) but everyone else I know who has tried it agrees- it’s one of the very few effective energy drinks.
I love MagicJack. I had Vonage for about 5 years before that and was usually satisfied, but this is only $19.95 a year after the $40 initial investment. Call quality is great and I even have hold music! 
I love the Clarisonic Skin Care System. Between using that and my retinoid cream, my skin has never ever looked better. My dermatologist suggested both to me and says that it helps skin look younger than an of the injections she has seen. Love it.
I was just looking at them, too. It looks like theEureka is a better one, according to the reviews. I think I’ll get it.
