Method Cleaning Products
Published May 16, 2012 | 
I was sent two Method cleaning products, Multi-Surface Cleaner and Kitchen Cleaner.
The Multi-Surface Cleaner is non-toxic in pink grapefruit fragrance. The bottle is quite large at 828ml.
I really liked the smell of the pink grapefruit around on my worktops and table, it smells so much nicer than some of the sprays I have previously purchased.
My youngest daughter can be a messy eater at dinner time and I will find at least one mark on the table that has a bit of food on it, Like gravy, bean juice or ketchup and she can sit up at the table a long time before she has finished.
This sometimes means that whatever has ended up on the table starts to dry out which makes it harder to get off.
I sprayed the table with Method’s multi-surface cleaner and then wiped off with kitchen roll. It came off with complete ease. No residue left behind and a nice smell too.
It cleans fabulously and I cannot fault it on anything. Everytime I have used it, It has cleaned the surface without struggle.
Here is what it says on the side of the bottle:
We help you put the hurt on the dirt.
Grease + grime don’t stand a chance against powergreen technology. Each squirt, in all it’s lovely non-toxic glory, packs a powerful punch. Naturally derived, biodegradable cleaners made from corn + coconut break down dirt, so when you’re finished, the only thing left is a sparkling sense of satisfaction.
Easy to use: Spray on surface. Wipe immediately, stand back and admire. For use on most sealed surfaces.
I am so impressed with Method’s Multi-Surface Cleaner that I have replaced my old one with this one now.
I like the fact that it’s non-toxic too and there is no chemical smell to it.
The Method Daily Kitchen is also a non-toxic surface cleaner in a clementine fragrance. The bottle is the sample size as the Multi-Surface Cleaner at 828ml
I used this cleaner on caped on grease that was on my cooker, I know the shame of it, My husband usually does the cooking, and so it is his job to clean it too. But being a man he never does a proper job of cleaning it. I have been bugging him for ages to do it properly to no avail.
I decided I would try the Kitchen Clean on the cooker, being silver I did worry about if it may damage it but if it did it would have given me an excuse to buy a new cooker.
I sprayed the top of the cooker and wiped with a sponge, a lot of the caped on grease came off straight away and with a few scrubs here and there I eventually has a shiny cooker once again. I looks almost new now.
I am a bit of a freak when it comes to my worktops as they are black you cannot see all of the dirt that on them so I am constantly cleaning them so no nasty bugs can be picked up. To date I cannot complain about the product at all, it does the job nicely and also makes the kitchen smell nice too.
Here is what it says on the side of the bottle:
You cook, We’ll clean.
When you’re whipping up a taste treat, you want your kitchen really clean and that means free of chemicals, too. So we’ve developed a non-toxic kitchen cleaner with plant-based powergreen technology. It packs a mighty cleaning punch to knock out grease and fool spills, without leaving any residue behind – easy as pie, and nearly as satisfying.
I again have ditched my old kitchen cleaner that smelt of chemicals to Method’s Kitchen Cleaner as I loved it that much.
You can by Method products at major supermarkets including Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose. At a RRP of £3.06

Halos N Horns Toothy Fruity Toothpaste
Published March 24, 2012 | 
I have heard great things about Halos N Horns but never tried any of their products until now.
We were given a tube of Halos N Horns Toothy Fruity Toothpaste which is for children aged 6 and under.
On the front of the tube it says for Little Chatterboxes which did make me laugh as my daughter is somewhat of a chatterbox so it suited her.
My daughter is 5 and has been using theToothy Fruity toothpaste for about 2 weeks now.
Before receiving this I had to remind her every morning and night to brush her teeth as she would forget, but since we have been using Toothy Fruity she has taken herself to the bathroom both in the mornings and evenings without being reminded to brush her teeth.
She is pretty independant and so she likes to squeeze the toothpaste on to her brush herself, Just a pea size she tells me, the proceeds to brush her own teeth which I allow her to do, I then go over them again to make sure they are clean.
The toothpaste is pink, a girls favourite colour and smells delicious and fruity.
My daughter says it tastes nice, she loves the colour and she likes the picture of the strawberry with banana and orange with a big white smile.
If my daughter is happy that is one step in the right direction.
The toothpaste is SLS-Free and it helps protect against tooth decay, We all want our children to have perfect smiles and no tooth decay.
What it says on the back of the tube:
When your little nippers start teething, their teeth and gums need rugular brushing to help keep those cheeky chopper chean and strong.
At Halos N Horns, we understand how delicate and sensitive little ones can be, so this product does everything you’d expect from a toothpaste but does not contain SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate). And with its fabulously fruity flavour, your little chatterboxes will find brushing brilliant!
It has been a pleasure using Horns N Halos Toothy Fruity toothpaste as it means I do not have to remind my daughter to brush her teeth anymore and having a toothpaste which she likes makes it a much more pleasureable experience for her too and wanting to have her teeth brushed.
Since trying the Horns N Halos Toothpaste and having a good experience we will be definitely be buying more and will also be trying some of their other products too.
Horns N Halos Toothy Fruity Toothpaste can be found at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s,Waitrose, and many other stores see here http://www.halosnhorns.co.uk/where_to_buy.html for full list of stockists.
It’s RRP is £2.34
The toothpaste has also won awards. Which means that we are not the only ones who like it!
The Halos N Horns Toothy Fruity SLS free Toothpaste is a pink gel formulation that smells and tastes of fruity strawberries and bananas.
We have weeded out the SLS foaming agent found in the majority of children’s toothpastes so you don’t need to worry about your little tykes swallowing SLS when they brush their teeth. Of course, we recommend that you always supervise their brushing and encourage kids to have a good old spit after they have brushed their teeth to minimise swallowing.
We have also included fluoride in our toothy fruity formulation, so you know your kids are getting all of the tooth protection that they need- give yourself a gold star!

Published December 2, 2011 | 
I was asked if I’d like to review Sani+Hands Anti-Bacterial Hand Wipes, and have actually used the whole packet already.
The wipes have a sand/grit texture on one side like an exfoliator so it gets rid of ground in dirt.
They smell pleasant with an added moisturiser so even using all the time won’t dry your hands out. In fact my hands felt softer using them!
They kill 99.99% of bacteria and germs and are dermatologically tested.
“Regularly cleaning hands with anti-bacterial wipes helps to prevent the spread of germs and reduces the risk of infection.” Dr Chris Steele MBE
These packs of 12 wipes are perfect handbag size, and great to use when using a public toilet for instance and there is no soap which seems to happen alot when I visit them. Just pull a wipe from the pack and wipe your hands.
Been on a bus, tram, train or even just walking into a shop pushing the door open lately? Do you know who else has pushed that door or held that bar? no? People cough into their hand then touch the bar, then you have touched it, you get a piece of gum out of your pocket hold it and pop it in your mouth, you hand was contaminated with germs, So now you have just put some of those germs in your mouth.
Makes you think doesn’t it?
Using one of these wipes will help and you will feel better in the knowledge that they do kill 99.99% of germs.
I love these wipes and carry them everywhere with me, I use them on myself and my family, it makes me feel good that I am trying to do my best in stopping germs spreading to my children at least.
I would highly recommend these for everyone.
You can purchase Sani+Hands from Tesco, Waitrose, Lloyds Phamacy and all good chemists for around £1 per pack of 12. Well worth it I think!
Sani+Hands wipes have been tested by scientists. They said:
“Sani+Hands are more effective than hand gel and foam.”
“Sani+Hands are the most effective and hygienic alternative to soap and water.”
What’s in Sani+Hands?
The Sani+Hands wipe material combines soft yet strong fibres with raised blue dots on its surface to remove dirt and grime. This wipe material is dosed with a special formula, which kills 99.99% of bacteria.
We don’t use any unnecessary ingredients, but to make sure that the product is safe & effective every time you use it we do add a small amount of preservative. This is because the product contains water, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Your safety and the quality of Sani+Hands are the most important things to us.
Why is Sani+Hands better?
Although gel and foam products may kill bacteria on contact with your skin, they don’t deal with dirt. Smearing a liquid on your hands does nothing to remove it. The Sani+Hands formulation offers the same level of antibacterial activity and is effective in killing 99.99% of germs. Add the mechanical action of our dirt-busting blue-dot fabric and Sani+Hands gives a higher level of protection.
When tested against gel and foam, Sani+Hands provides greater cleaning performance, effective bacteria removal and superior residual action – so it protects your skin against germs & bacteria for longer.

Published October 31, 2011 | I was offered to review so baby wipes made by jacksonreece.
Yes I know what you think, I don’t a baby my youngest is almost 5, But wipes are a must in my house for mucky hands and faces and taking makeup off.
They also have the added extra of wiping pen off table tops and sofas 
First I tried the Unscented Natural Baby Wipes. They are nice and thick and strong they dont rip unless tugged really hard. They come out of the resealable packet with ease so you are not spending 5 minutes picking each one out, Which I’m my time of dirty nappies was a complete pain. They are nice and moist but not dripping wet. They leave hands and faces clean with no worries of a reaction that some scented wipes can give children, and adults!
The packet itself has a firmer than normal resealable flap. I have not seen once this thick before and I found it was much better at keeping the wipes from drying out.
We found it also removed black biro pen off skin thats to my youngest deciding to draw all over herself.
The second wipes we tried was the Natural Herbal Baby Wipes, The resealable plastic wasn’t as rigid as the Unscented wipes. The scent was very nice not too strong on the nose.
The wipes were very moist, although they wwere not as thick and as strong as the unscented wipes they were still thick and strong enough.
Seeing as my daughter likes to draw on herself with black biro I got her to try to draw a flower on her arm so we could test if it would come off using the wipe without too much rubbing, They did work with a couple of rubs.
They also leave your skin feeling very soft.
I found they are great if you spill something down you too, to quickly mop it up before it embeds into the fabric.
Lastly we were given a packet of 10 Natural Flushable Wipes these really are a god send to put in your handbag.
My youngest daughter always seems to need to go for a number 2 when we are out she can’t wipe her bottom properly yet, but is learning.
At home we have toilet wipes for her but when shes caught short when we are out its gets a bit troublesome sometimes with normal toilet paper. Well we did get caught while out so this was the perfect opportunity to use them.
They are just like regular toilet wipes so she knew what to do.
Another great use for them is if you are in the car and the kids have got sticky fingers or if you have gone to the chip shop and ate your chips outside e.g the beach or in the car.These wipes are perfect to wipe your hands up afterwards. The perfect size handbag wipes. I will definitely be buying some more of these for my bag!
The Unscented Natural Baby Wipes and Natural Herbal Baby Wipes 72 pack cost around £2.00 and are available in most stores including John Lewis, Sainsbury, Mothercare, Superdrug, and some Tesco Extras.
The 10 pack of Natural Flushable Wipes cost around £1.00 and again are available in most stores listed above.

Published October 27, 2011 | 
Arm & Hammer have launched the new “My Way” Spinbrush to make tooth brushing fun for kids! It’s designed to appeal to children’s love of toys and gadgets and allows kids to put the fun back into tooth brushing. Both boys and girls will love the colourful design of this battery powered toothbrush, which comes complete with customising features such as a removable head and battery cap, a unique ‘Gem’ on-off button, and over 141 decorative stickers so that your child can really make the brush their own.The Spinbrushes come in a wide variety of designs and cost just £5.99 from your local Boots store.
I was offered this to review the Arm & Hammer My Way Spinbrush, My daughter is very good at brushing her teeth every morning and night but using a manual toothbrush I just don’t they clean as well as a battery operated one.
When it arrived I let my daughter open the box, She took the battery powered toothbrush out first gave it a quick looking over. She asked my what the big purple crystal was for, So I told her it was for switching it on and off.
She started playing with it, switching it on and off. I then told her to look in the box because I thought she had missed something. She found the stickers!
With 141 stickers to choose from to decorate her special toothbrush she was in her element trying to use as many as possible, She spent at least an hour picking them out and sticking them on. She had her name on her own special Spinbrush toothbrush.
She then went on to show Mummy, Daddy and her big sister her newly decorated special toothbrush, demonstrated how to switch it on and warned people that it was hers and no one else can use it.
My daughter was very excited for it to reach bedtime which is very unlike her, She wanted to use her toothbrush so much.
She was brushing for a good 5 minutes on the first few times using it, I’m surprised she didn’t run the batteries out just on those times, but no its still running.
She is getting more and more independant with brushing her teeth now she doesn’t need to be reminded being almost 5 I usually have to remind her but seems shes got into a routine now,she goes straight to the bathroom every morning and night and reaches for her Spinbrush.
I think this is a fantastic toothbrush, Its unique to your child once decorated which I think makes them more willing to use it.
I would definitely recommend this to friends and family as it is also a very reasonable price.
