Product Description:
Like a child eating a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, cooking is a disaster. So naturally, you should wear a bib. Although you can't cover the kitchen with a plastic cloth every time you cook, this may be the best solution, but you can at least cover the stove with a gas stove.
So the next time you boil a pot of water and the water overflows, don't worry. If you're making ketchup, it's splashed all over the floor, "Hey, it's no big deal." If you sprinkle a whole can of maple syrup on it, it doesn't matter because it has gas range protection.
Features:
- 10 Pack Premium Stovetop Protectors sized 10.6” x 10.6”, black
- Perfect for nearly ALL types of gas ranges
- Heat-resisting, Safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit
- Non-Stick and Reusable
- Material: Coated Glass Fiber Cloth
- Can be cut to size
- Wipes clean
- Dishwasher safe and safe for contact with food
Promising review:
A great way to keep your stovetop nice and clean. The gas stove burner covers can be cut to fit your stove needs. There are ten burner covers in the bag. Placing the covers on the stove takes care of those messy spills and grease. I simply lift the covers off the stove and rinse off for easy cleanup. The quality is good and they work well on my gas stove. I just trimmed them to fit my burners.—Brady

The Costliest Mistake You Can Make Regarding Pantry Moths: Ignore Them.
Pantry moths are genuine pests, often carriers of harmful bacteria. They are smuggled into your home inside trusted food items purchased from common grocery stores.
Your food is their home (where they do the unimaginable) until they chew their way out and find another food source to contaminate. TRUTH: You can’t just throw out a couple of defiled items to eradicate moths. You must disrupt the mating cycle, or they’ll be right back.
Dr. Killigan’s Pantry Moth Traps work best. They are meant to be displayed, not hidden - maximizing airflow and effectiveness. They use the strongest attractant and the stickiest glue, drawing in the males and stopping the breeding.
These traps:
- Protect your family’s health by being a non-toxic, insecticide-free [and organic] solution approved by the USDA and EPA.
- Save money by protecting your food.
- Are a simple solution (working while you sleep) to an annoying and often disgusting problem?
Promising review:
We are owned by 3 parrots. As anyone can tell you with parrots, you get pantry moths. It doesn't matter how clean you are, they arrive in birdseed. We've frozen the birdseed for upward of 3 months, and still, moths. It's just part of the price you pay for loving birds.
We rent and our landlord hired a Professional Pest Control company to take care of another issue in the house left by the former tenant we, as tenants, paid them on our own, to professionally treat for the months. That lasted for about 2 months.
For reasons I can't figure out, the pantry moths, like mosquitoes, and other bugs, just love me and bite me as well as infest the pantry and the bird area. So it's important to keep them down to a minimum.—Read More. —Ila in Maine.
Product Description:
Hello, fellow “Catperson!” If you have a deep appreciation for the delightful subtleties of cat “ownership” (such as, you understand that the cat owns the human and not vice versa), that your cat(s) are independent, regal creatures who allow us to serve their needs at THEIR whim.
Furniture Defender was created to meet the needs of cat families, just like ours. Once upon a time, there was a family that found themselves with seven cats! Six of the cats were mild-mannered and respectful of the furnishings of the home, contented to nap upon the velvet sofa and scratch in the appropriately designated scratching post locations.
There was one unique feline, however, Spookers, who did not see things through the same cat eyes as the others… To keep my wife happy about the presence of her home and avoid all types of family disharmony, I created the Furniture Defender Cat Scratch Guards.
Promising review:
My cat is part feline part demon and every exposed corner of my EXPENSIVE couch will be clawed till I cry. I've tried everything-no spray worked and I bought cheap plastic corner folders to try. Nothing. These things are magic. The look on his face, when he couldn't sink his claws into my couch, was priceless. I will definitely be buying more. If you have a demon cat like me and can deal with a little shiny vinyl on your couch, these things will save you.—Read More.—Cody Martin

Promising review:
I had two long couches and an ottoman that were heavily scratched by my cat. I am talking scratches everywhere, tiny claw tears, and little claw pecks/pokes all over. My sofas are leather in some areas and leather in others. I failed to take a before picture and I’m sorry about that. I started the project by sanding down all the little marks with a nail file.
That removed all the loose leather/pleather marks. I then cleaned the sofas and ottoman with warm sudsy water and rinsed them well. I then applied this product with an applicator pad recommended by Amazon called Lexol premium applicator sponges. I pushed the product into any deep grooves that were there and applied it quickly and evenly. After it dried I buffed it out and did the deep areas a second time.—Read More. —Bythewayjenn
Product Description:
The innovative and unique remover multifunctional broom can be used indoors or outdoors to remove cat hair, dog hair, and dirt from almost any surface, including hardwood flooring, tiles, carpets, carpets, linoleum, concrete, and interior decoration. The soft head is made of natural rubber and can attract a pet's hair like a magnet without scratching the hardwood floor.
To remove the plush from the carpet, pull the broom with a short, sharp stroke to expose the Embedded Pile to the carpet surface. Even expensive vacuum cleaners made specifically for pet hair cannot compete with the remover broom's ability to pick up embedded pet hair.
Turn it over and use the side of the universal scraper to remove dirt and dust from the hardwood floor. Clean up spills easily. Natural rubber in the rubber scraper prevents water stains on the glass, making it an ideal choice for cleaning windows, glass shower doors, and car windscreens.
Promising review:
This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring, he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe!
I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that using short quick strokes with the rake turned upside down got the best results. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile.—Read More.—Nick V.

If you're looking at this product then you probably have a front-loading washer that's on the noisy side, am I right? And if you're looking at this product at the end of your rope about to lose your freakin' mind at how unbelievably loud and jumpy your front-load washer is when it hits the spin cycle because the house sounds like it's going to cave in on you....then you must have a Samsung.—Read More.—Cub

Promising review:
I got this to cut down on the ridiculous number of boxes I have in my cabinets because they're taking up valuable cabinet space. (I live in a condo.) I wish the slots were a little bit bigger. One slot will not fit an entire box of tea from a Bigelow or Mighty Leaf box of tea. One slot will fit an entire box of Celestial Seasonings, wrapped in its packaging for freshness.—Read More.—Mia

They certainly do the job I got them for. I was concerned that they wouldn't be the correct length, but they're more than long enough. I will cut them to fit. Held off until I was certain of my satisfaction.
The finish is matte but looks nice and wipes clean easily. The material they're made of settles into space between the counter and range easily and I don't have any trouble with them shifting positions. I'm happy with this purchase and recommend them to anyone.—Read More.—STAR STRUCK

Promising review:
We just moved into a new home and the bathtubs are *SO* shallow. My soul was slowly being ripped to pieces while soaking in a measly 7" of water. Devastating! It will be a while until we can afford to remodel the bathrooms, so I needed to find an alternative solution before I cracked.
This product seriously improved the quality of my life. It's a softer, malleable plastic than I originally thought, but convenient for different-shaped tubs since it will mold easier. All I have to do to turn my nightmare tub into a dream was to run the suction cups under the faucet and snap the suction cups into place over the bath drain. It was so easy! I got an instant 5" more water!! For $8?! I think yes!!! Crowds applauded and cried, it was beautiful. After each bath, I remove the drain cover and hang it from my shower caddy to dry out.—Read More.—Rachael

I have bought several other nightlights over the years. Now, after Hurricane Maria, I am sending friends in Puerto Rico fans, and batteries and came across these lights. To my surprise, they are a great buy for the price. The uniqueness of these lights is that they stay on as long as there is movement in the proximal area. A friend commented that they were too bright.—Read More.—Manuel in FL

This little cart is very sturdy for something made from plastic. It holds full jugs of bleach and detergent. It sits between the washer and dryer, and the wheels roll easily to access the bottom and middle shelves. I really had to twist on the driver to install the screws, and I believe this is the reason some didn't think it was sturdy enough. You really need to tighten the fasteners well, and then it is solid.—Neal Cutler

Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawers) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but... It's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, was neatly organized, easy to find... Wow.—Read More—Brigette

Promising review:
My husband and I recently bought a new pillowtop bed, and the brand we got is thicker than your usual mattresses. My mother bought us sheet straps, but they just turned out to be more aggravating. (They had the plastic ends that kind of just pop together... except they wouldn't. I could see those working for thin sheets on a twin mattress.)
So, I took to Amazon to try and find heavy-duty sheet straps for our overstuffed bed. lol, I came across these, and my husband pointed out the "suspender-like" ends that hold the sheets and said that's exactly what he was looking for.
Product Description:
To kill common household ants, simply place TERRO Liquid Ant Baits stations near indoor areas where ants are spotted. Ants enter the trap, consume the liquid ant bait, and return to the nest where they pass on the bait to the rest of the colony.
TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are specifically formulated to allow worker ants to consume the product and survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the nest and deliver a dose to the rest of the colony.
The liquid ant bait stations prevent the bait from drying out and provide the ants with a continuous supply of liquid, day and night. Monitor the baits regularly for activity, but do not interfere with the ants or baits.
Replace with additional baits when the first set is depleted. Depending on the size of the ant infestation, complete control may take up to two weeks.
Promising review:
Worked well when ants managed to find their way up the wall to the second story of the house, under the deck door, and into the kitchen trash can. One, probably a scout ant, even tried to watch Netflix with me on the couch. Suffice it to say I did not like the uninvited visitors.—Read More—Happyblusky

I use this hanger for camisoles, not for ties and belts. Although it takes up a wider amount of space in my closet to do this, I am happy with how it's working out. The hanger is sturdy, so it doesn't tip or rock (although the shirts are pretty light), and I can quickly add or remove my tops. I have tried other approaches for these tops because I have many, and so far this has been my best option.

Let's cut to the chase. While I like this product and would recommend it the advertisement is a bunch of bull.
I have owned this product for a few weeks. I have a little over shoulder length curly thick hair. (in case you were wondering) I tested it for a week because I wanted to give it a good amount of time to give myself an unbiased opinion.

I live in a studio where the neighbor’s kitchen cabinets are on my side of the wall. After enduring months of cabinet slamming, I finally decided to talk to my neighbors to resolve the problem only to find out they had no door bumpers - or at best - the really flat ones.

Promising review:
I've only tried one other glass top cleaner and I like this one better. The stovetop looked much better after one time cleaning with this. That being said my glass top still isn't great. The "stains" on it were there when we moved in (they look like hard water marks almost, but nothing will get them off). So I'm not sure how long they've been there and if things like that can be permanent? So, to be fair, maybe they can't be removed. I had high hopes this would do it, but it didn't. Perhaps after multiple uses, it will? If so I'll update this review.—Read More—K. Lewis
