It’s Safe ♦ It’s Natural ♦ It Work’s

What is Fresh Wave

Fresh Wave is my new favorite household product. I am seriously obsessed with it. I will tell you a bit about its background. Fresh Wave is now a household product available to consumers at Target. Fresh Wave has been used for years on an industrial scale. Residential areas would complain about sewage or water treatment plants stinking up their neighborhoods. Fresh Wave makes a super industrial odor eliminator which these plants can use to stop the odor from penetrating those residential areas. What is so special about this, is they are chemical free!!! Say what?! That’s right guys.

“Fresh Wave® natural odor eliminators use the power of nature and molecular science to get rid of organic and inorganic odors. Rather than masking unwanted odors, our products go to the source to destroy the odor. More importantly, Fresh Wave products use no toxins, so they are safe to use around people and pets.”Fresh Wave Website

Mama’s Experience

Gel

inside fresh waveThe gel containers are great for a 24/7 odor removal situation. I opened my gel container and set it in my laundry room right by my cat litter box and dirty cloth diapers. My 2 stinkiest smells in my house. Within about 15 minutes there was no longer any cat litter odor! I was so shocked that this really worked. I figured it would stop working by the next day…but nope! Still going strong. Occasionally I go and jiggle it a little bit and kind stir it up.  I feel like it helps it. I have no clue, I think it just makes me feel like I am participating in the action. These last about 60-90 days. I can attest that this is true. The picture seen here was opened 30 days ago and it is not even 1/2 way used up. I think it will last just abour 90 days. I use this by my cat litter box and LOVE how it works.

  • Removes odors from: pets, smoke, trash, food, bathrooms, basements and more.

Spray

spray

I love this spray! It is great for a bathroom deodorizer. Having a potty training toddler, life gets really interesting the the bathroom. Having this spray helps aid with the smells at least! Its even safe enough to be sprayed in your face! Your eyes, your mouth/nose, will suffer no ill effects from this product. Take that big name aerosol cans!

I love to use this spray in the restroom and by my cat box. I keep a Fresh Wave gel container always by the litter box, but sometimes when “that” moment occurs I need a little quick cover up and this spray works like a charm. I love how I don’t feel the icky thick residue other sprays leave in the air. Just a fresh clean feeling.

Be sure to shake before each use.

Can be used on: clothing, pet bedding, sports gear, shoes, trash and diaper pails…everywhere!

Packs

Fresh Wave PacksThese are perfect for our shoes and for diaper pails. Whether you use cloth diapers and wet bags or disposable diapers and trash bags, these packs help keep that odor at bay. You can place them inside your trash cans underneath the bag and just keep them there. They last up to 60 days.

I like to use these in my hall closet where I keep my shoes, inside my diaper pail to keep the urine odor at bay until I do a load of diapers and inside my kitchen trash can. I feel like the kitchen trash can always stinks. After now using the Fresh Wave packs my trash can doesn’t gross my out like it used it! I haven’t been using it for 60 days just yet, but I think that is a very accurate time frame.

 

Can be placed in: gym bags, shoes, boats, closet, car interiors, trash pails, diaper pails, or any small place.

Fall Into Fluff Giveaway

Fall Into Fluff Giveaway

Leaves are falling, locally produced Apple Cider is in the supermarkets and we’re preparing for winter. What better way to celebrate the change of seasons then with a fluff giveaway?! Welcome to the Fall Fluff Giveaway where one lucky winner will receive some great cloth diaper prizes! Products from companies including The Little Bee Co. Diaper of choice, Balm Baby Cloth Diaper Safe Balm, $20 Gift Code to The Smiling Tree Toy co. and Fresh Wave natural deodorizing products. It’s a really nice package of fluff goodies for one lucky winner!

A little about these companies. The Little Bee Co. is a Mom and Dad run business with products designed in Pennsylvania, ethically made in China. The company participates in “Diaper Drops” and donates cloth diapers to several orphanages and other very deserving areas around the world including right here in the USA! This team has seen first hand the real need for diapers in poverty stricken areas and have made it their mission to help change the world. Read The Little Bee Co. Review and learn more about this wonderful company and organization.

Smiling Tree Handcrafted is a fantastic company operating completely out of Minnesota right here in the USA! Their handmade wooden toys and keepsakes are made from USA sustainable wood and products including everything from teethers, cutting boards, toy blocks and Christmas ornaments can be personalized. In addition to being eco-friendly, a portion of profits from each item goes to the Peace Corps Youth Development Program. Read the full Smiling Tree Toys Review for all the information about this great company.

     To add to this wonderful list of USA based environmentally friendly companies I introduce Balm Baby. Made and developed in the USA in Hawaii (dream job) their products are consciously packaged in non-plastic toxic free containers including glass jars! The ingredients all look like they could just as easily appear on the menu at a high end restaurant and they are committed to using natural ingredients. Since products are hand-made, if you have a sensitivity or other request they can be customized on individual orders. Their cloth safe diaper balm is safe for cloth diapers, baby, the environment and washes easily.
     One concern many cloth diapering parents have is odor. While diaper pails, pre-rinsing and washing frequently are helpful…there can be lingering odor. Fresh Wave products are a new line exclusively carried by Target and help remove odors naturally and they report being safe for kids and pets (but don’t eat them). This package winner will receive the products seen here to help remove odors without toxins from their home! Best for smaller spaces, the odor gel and packets are in my bathroom to help provide freshness right next to our diaper pail.
     Onto the giveaway! Giveaway is open to legal USA residents 18+ void where prohibited and runs from 10/14-11/15/2015. One winner will be drawn randomly by the Gleam tool and entries will be verified. Winner will be contacted via e-mail provided and have 48 hours to respond.

Mama’s Experience

I was able to review one of the many lines which Toysmith features: Nightzone Light Up Sports!

Light Up Sports by Toysmith

NightZone is a newly vamped up line from Toysmith. It is packed with toys the small children all the way through adulthood can enjoy. Their sports balls are equip to light up with the simple switch of a button. This makes those late night parties, football games, fall get together’s and everyday play that much more exciting!

Each ball, disk or band has an easy to locate switch so that you can turn the toy on and off at your convenience. The switch is small enough so that you don’t have to worry about accidentally turning it off mid-play.

NightZone Footballs come in 3 colors: Red, Green and Blue. The retail price is $14.95 each.

NightZone Light Up Football

NightZone Spoke Lights are great for any bicycle. For kids playing in their driveway at night to high schooler’s and adult cyclists, these light up spokes make biking more exciting. The retail price is $9.99.

NightZone Flashbands are my daughters favorite item. Unlike glow sticks which only last 1 night, these bands can be used over and over for an exciting light up party in your living room, while camping or at a slumber party. These are the perfect stocking stuffer for kids of all ages. The retail price is 4.99 for a pack (includes 2 bands).

NightZone Light Up Disc has 2 settings, a solid muli-color on option or a flashing lights option! The flashing lights are so much fun and create a cool effect at the disk sours through the sky. The switch is on the back of the disk in the very center, making it practically impossible to accidentally turn off while playing. This is a great item for late nights at the beach or at a fun bonfire. The disk retails for $11.99.

NightZone Sports Pack is my 1 year old sons favorite. This small balls are perfect for small children and toddlers. They can easily grip and toss them just like they see the big kids do.

Traditionally, when you think of an air purifiers, space heater or humidifiers you think of a plain old square boxy product. Whilst General Air Conditioning & Plumbing suggests using HVAC to condition the temperature of your home, using a humidifier too could create an optimum air environment in your home. Crane breaks out of this mold with their fun, colorful and sophisticated designs. They know that their products are going to be placed in your home and out where you can see them. Why not make it fun and exciting? Help improve the decor of the room, not hold it back. with the Design For Better Living motto they help improve your rooms and your quality of life.

Mama’s Experience

crane train1

My 1.5 year old son is train crazy. I have found this is a very common obsession of little boys as I have found more and more train toys, TV programs and other items. When I found out the Crane sells a Train Cool Mist Humidifier I literally giggled! I was going to make my little boy very, very happy.

When you put anything in your child’s room you are constantly worried about safety and functionality. With Crane, being a leader in the field of humidifiers, I knew that I was putting a well researched and tested product in my child’s room.

water tank crane1

I love that the water tank can easily be filled in most bathroom sinks. That the base has a feature to help prevent mold (this was an issue with my friend’s humidifier and she had to find the best Indoor Air Quality Testing Vallejo had to offer in order to determine where the source of the mold was coming from), and that it has an auto-off function for when the water runs out. Mold is a serious concern for me and I would the to have it in our home. I know that it can seriously affect your health and can even damage the structure of your home so I want to do everything I can to prevent it, otherwise, we may have to use a Mold Remediation Atlanta service to come in and remove any mold and mildew that has formed. There are so many positives to Crane humidifiers what I cannot think of any reason why someone would choose a different brand. The best part about the water tank is the handle for easy lift/removal. My past humidifiers I would loose my grip and occasionally drop, which would be such a bummer and sometimes really messy. With this tank’s handle I don’t worry about dropping it at all.
