Bissell Swift Sweep Sweeper Keeps Your Kitchen Clean

We've been using a Bissell Sweeper for just about 4 years now because we can't seem to let go of a little carpet in our kitchen and also there's all those debris that need cleaning. It picks up just about anything a quarter inch or smaller, and is easy to put away by simply sticking it in the corner. Given you get dual dustbins inside the Bissell, you can use it for about 1/2 the week or so before emptying. It's also great to use around the house for quick pickups and it can remove a kid made cheerio mess in about 5 seconds.

Cherry Kitchen Towel Make a Fruity Trio of Cleaning Up

This set of 3 kitchen towels: waffel cotton, terrycloth with a ruffled hem, and printed cotton also match a Cherry Apron and Cherry Oven Mitt. We love the 50's and think this motif would suit us for a themed dinner or just fun in the kitchen. All three are 100% cotton and machine-washable.

DPW - Department of Public Works Sink Stopper

This manhole-inspired silicone work-horse will stop the water’s flow when you need a full sink. We like the design because you can give it a simple twist to line up the drain holes and it turns into a highly-efficient strainer. DPW is molded from super-strong, dishwasher-safe pure silicone and packaged on a peggable, recyclable clamshell blister. If you have a bad sink stopper, then you should check out the DPW sink stopper.

Black & Decker Pivot Vac Cordless Pivoting Hand Vac

Each year we make a ton of pies and other desserts only to find cleaning up with just a cloth a total pain. We've got another handheld vacuum besides this one, but the Black and Decker pivots making cleanup a bit easier. This cordless 2-speed handheld vacuum is also smaller, quieter and easier to clean than original model. It has 18 volts of power and high performance motor with cyclonic action to suck up all those kitchen messes. The on-board brush and extendable crevice tool--means no loose accessories while you clean. Also there's no need to buy filters or bags - it has a removable, washable dirt bowl and filters.

Review: AirDry Wine Glass Dryer - No Streaks or Spotting on Wine Glasses
The new AirDry wine glass rack lets you throw in the towel and let AirDry do the job. AirDry is designed to carefully hold four stemware glasses to allow them to dry naturally, without streaking or spotting, so there's no need to use a dishtowel or the added energy of a dishwasher.
The AirDry features rubber-coated hooks that softly grip glass stems, keeping them secure from falling or tapping against each other while drying. Whether you're drying one glass or four, the AirDry base is wide enough to prevent tipping.

It comes in two pieces, allowing you to quickly put it together
or put it away for storage.

It does not tip over and is very sturdy even when drying
one wine glass.

Look - no streaking with AirDry!
The Architec AirDry has a suggested retail price of $14.99. We think this is perfect for small dinner parties, and also a really nice alternative to using the dishwasher. You'll also be able to use this for those giant wine glasses, and have no streaks or spots.

Bissell 1200B SpotBot - Cleans Messy Carpet Stains Hands-Free

We're always trying to keep our kitchen rug (a 6x9 thing of blue beauty) clean and spot free. We spotted the SpotBot due to it's claims of being hands free, and the thought of not bending over and just placing the bot on the spot was more than appealing. The SpotBot has two cleaning modes: hands-free and manual. In hands-free mode, you just fill the SpotBot with water and cleaning fluid, select your stain type, and then walk away. Within seven minutes, its 24-inch circumference cleaning head does everything else for you on the SPOT of your choosing. For larger stains or ones that require some extra elbow grease and time, use the Tough Stain Brush that attaches to the hose.

Good Grips Soap Squirting Palm Scrub
Sponges are so gross; I love this. With this, you touch the top to release the soap. It is nice and wide, so it should be easy to fill.
