  • Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets Make Laundry Easier!

    Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

    This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Purex. All opinions are 100% mine.

    Laundry has never been my favorite chore. I’m not a big fan of lugging heavy laundry baskets up and down the basement stairs, not to mention huge jugs of laundry detergent and fabric softener. I think back to all those years, before Chris and I were homeowners, when we hauled our laundry to laundromats, back and forth carrying clothes and supplies. All those years I lived in college dorms, running back and forth to the laundry room, having to bum rides to Target to buy laundry detergent. Ugh.

    Whomever the person was who came up with the idea for the Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheet, they should get a FREAKING MEDAL. It is pure genius, people. Each sheet is embedded with laundry detergent and a heat-activated strip that contains fabric softener and an anti-static. Toss one sheet in with a regular-sized load of laundry, then transfer the sheet along with the clothes to the dryer. Doing a small load of clothes? Cut the sheet in half!

    What convinced me that this wasn’t just a gimmick was after we got a package of 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets to review. Clothes come out clean, static-free, and they smell really good. Anybody who lives in a dorm, an apartment, elderly people who can’t carry heavy bottles or boxes of laundry detergent, or anybody who just wants to buy ONE product instead of three needs to give Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets a try! Go to www.trypurex.com/blog to get a free sample and find out for yourself – this sheet works!

  • Website Review – Fast Water Heater Co.

    Sunday, January 17th, 2010

    If you live in California, Oregon, or Washington and own a home, this post might be useful to you. I live in Michigan so I can’t recommend this company personally, but I do own a hot water heater that broke down last year, and finding a company that could come right out and fix it wasn’t as easy as I thought. When you have no hot water at all, hearing someone say “we can come out in four days” is really not helpful. Fast Water Heater Co. asked me to let my readers know that they really are fast – call before noon and you can usually get someone out that same day.

    Whether you have a traditional or tankless water heater, San Francisco Bay Area residents as well as residents of service areas in Oregon and Washington can get fast service including getting a new water heater installed and the processing of any required permits based on where you live. You can read more about what to expect from a Fast Water Heater service call by reading the appropriately named “What to Expect” page on the site.

    The site also has a helpful “Articles” page with articles and resources on how to extend the life of your hot water water as well as tests you can do to determine if your water heater might need servicing, BEFORE it stops working and you are standing in a cold shower with a head full of shampoo :P   Not that I want anyone reading this to have their water heater break down or anything, but if it does, I hope this post helps get it fixed!

    disclosure: you know how my Disclosure Policy page says that I occasionally get compensated by websites to post a review of their site? This is one of those posts.
