Earth Brite Natural All Purpose Cleaner Review

Earth Brite Natural All-Purpose Cleaner 2-pack at HSN.com

So I'm laying in bed one night flipping channels. I flick past HSN and then click back.  They're doing the spot on Earth Brite Natural All-Purpose Cleaner.  They are showing all the things this product supposedly cleans.  You know: pots and pans, ovens, mirrors, tennis shoes, grills, PVC furniture, windows,  just lots of stuff.  I'm thinking "wow that would be great if it really worked like that."  Then there's the other thing that goes through your head "nothing ever works the way it does on tv".

Now let me just say I am not typically an HSN, QVC, infomercial shopper.   As I listened it talked about being all natural.  Clay based.  Safe to have around children.  Safe for the environment.

Yea, yea, right.  So I clicked the tv off and went to bed.  The next morning I got up and went into the kitchen.  I noticed the knobs in the kitchen were tarnished.  I tried a stainless steel cleaner and it smelled so bad.  I thought about my once white canvas shoes. I wonder if it would work on that.  I had an HSN giftcard that i received. I went to HSN's website and decided to order the Earth Brite Natural All-Purpose Cleaner 2 pack.

I got it in the mail, read over the directions and went to work.  I was thrilled to see the knobs on the cupboard in my kitchen shining again!  I tried it on my white canvas shoes..clean!  I was reading all the uses and tried almost all of them.  I was shocked at how great it cleaned the mirror in the bathroom.  Then the big test.  I tried it on one of my old pots. You know that tarnished, baked on whatever you call it on the bottom of your pan.  This did not work like I hoped.  It did clean some of that off but my pots didn't gleam like my kitchen cabinet knobs and mirrors.  Oh well can't have it all I guess.  I bought this about 5 months ago and still haven't used all of the first container.  You don't need a lot for it to work.

It also gives me piece of mind for my 10 month old, who is now getting into everything.  Even if he would get hold of this product, it's all natural and non toxic.  Also Earth friendly.

The product is currently selling on HSN for $19.95 plus shipping.  They do occasionally have sales though. Also they have their $70k giveaway right now.  Enter to win gift cards and more.  You also get a chance at a coupon code.

All in all I give the Earth Bright All-Natural Cleaner an A- the only thing it didn't work for that it claimed was to get that nasty crap off the bottom of your pots but worked wonderful for everything else. Last a long time. Safe around children.  Earth Friendly.  So I think it deserves the A-

Got me a new Winter coat and you won't believe what I saved!

If you've read some of my previous posts, I'm a frugalista. Love to save money wherever I can. I love to do the end of season clearances and stock up for the next year.

Well, I've been needing a new winter coat.  I've had the same one for about 7 years.  Each year I tell myself, I'll get a new one next year.  It served it's purpose.  It's warm, ( I had got a great deal on it as well), I liked the colors and it fit.  I've had a hole in the Right pocket for several years but every year it gets bigger but this year the zipper started acting up. As I'm sure some of you moms out there know your kids have new shoes and coats each year but you are content with what you have lol!  So I started browsing hoping to find a good end of season clearance on a coat.  I really wanted a warm peacoat.  Preferably a neutral color I could wear for mulitple events (another way to save money, versatility).  I scoured the internet: Target, Overstock, Old Navy, BonTon, Boscovs, Sears, and then I stopped at HSN.

HSN had a lot of really nice coats on clearance.  I ended up getting myself a coat like I've wanted for years.  Originally $160....got it for $40...go ME!  (I also had $16 spendable K$sh left in my account from the free HSN giftcards I got from mypoints.com for christmas shopping).  There were other really nice coats on clearance.  Another cute one I looked at was only $30 peacoat style. But the one I got had everything I wanted: wool blend, hooded, pockets, it came in black, had a lot of good reviews and had a good price.  It had my name all over it.

Another tip: READ THE REVIEWS.  If the vast majority of the people are complaining about the product there is probably a reason. Sure there will always be 1 or 2 negatives but if the majority are negative I'd recommend staying away from the products.  

So yay! I'm set for another 5 years hopefully lol! Here's a pic of the coat on got on HSN.com

And for anyone else who's been putting off getting themselves a new winter coat, here is the HSN link.  Browse the sales people, embrace the clearance :-)
