Wine Chuckle Dish Butler - Dishwasher Magnet Indicator Review

Who uses their dishwasher every day? We certainly do. We also have little kids that love to open and close the dishwasher on their own. They often add soiled items to it when the washer is actually clean. This can be frustrating. We were sent a little magnet that labels the dishwasher as clean or dirty. We love the retro-styled butler graphic. He is really cute and the magnet is very strong! You flip him over depending on whether the dishes are clean or dirty! My kids are young, so it is a fun task for them to ensure the magnet is flipped accordingly. He is a little less than 3x3 inches. This is from the company, WineChuckle. You can find him on Amazon. I would have liked him to have been completed plastic as I worry that the sticker portion will wear on the edges over time from any steam moisture that might get on the magnet. I have had this a month with no signs of wear.

Solar Powered Light Jar By Solar Serenity Review

I have always wanted to make a Pinterest-worthy Mason jar porch light. Actually, have wanted to make about six of them and have three on each side of the front porch. I consider myself a crafty person, but free time is not always available when you are a stay at home mommy to three young children and you work from home part-time. I was sent a mason jar lantern that is solar powered with four led lights. I figured I would give it a try, and if I loved it, I might invest in some for our porch. I looked at the price and figured, these jar lights by Serenity must be some awesome ones as the current sale price was a steep $25, and if I was going to have six, I would need them to be sturdy and work perfectly for years.

Unfortunately, this is not my dream mason jar lantern. This one looks nice hanging on our shepherds hook on the back porch, and gives a lovely country cottage charm, but it does not give off a consistent illumination at night. There is a magnet on top that you connect which turns the led light on. The four leds charge during the day when the switch is set to the off position. I would forget to turn the switch off, and the next morning, the lantern would not charge in the sun. When the following night would come, the led is worn out and faint or completely dark. I was only able to get them to glow when I charged it outside with the magnet in the off position to save the solar battery, then went outside later that evening to connect the magnet. I am unable to remember to keep turning it on and off. I would have liked it to be able to charge all day and then come on automatically when it is dark outside.

The Solar Serenity Jar is on Amazon. It is a lovely lantern and very attractive to look at, but I had to flip the magnet switch on each time I wanted to use it. I need something that I can leave out all day in the sun and have it illuminate in the evening without having to remember to flip the switch on and off each day. I would suggest this lantern as a temporary use item and not for extended, daily use. 

This was sent to me for review. I like the idea of it, but it does not fit our needs. I would suggest it for a temporary outside party or to use inside a sunny window. It was difficult for me to remember to flip the switch each day. I wanted to use this one to illuminate our back porch step. We live out in the country and do not use our porch light as it attracts scary looking bugs and flying insects to our back door (and inside our home). I was hoping this would charge during the day and then automatically turn on so it would be waiting for us when we would come home on late evenings.

Green Gobbler Pure Cold Pressed ORANGE OIL Concentrate - 22 oz Review

I like using natural based cleaners and household products. I especially love essential oils and cleaning products made from citrus oils. I have made my own orange oil in the past with clementine and regular orange peels simmering on the stove, but it is nice to have a ready-made concentration on hand. I was sent Green Gobbler Concentrate in the 22 oz size for review. 

According to the company, the orange oil used in this product is collected from the citrus peel during juice extraction and no heat is used during this process. This product contains over 90% D-Limonene which is an effective cleaner. It can act as an effective, biodegradable solvent and degreaser. Similar to how I simmer my oranges for a few hours on the stove, this product is extracted from the peel of oranges. I heat my orange peels, but this company does not use heat. This product is 100% natural and environmentally friendly. I love that it is made in the USA! It has a scent that is clean and does not bother my breathing. 

The company describes it as non-toxic, but please exercise caution around young children. I want to mention that the Amazon listing (and possibly other websites) lists this as food grade, but do not assume that it is, and I would not refer to it as safe to accidentally or purposefully ingest. The seller commented on the Amazon listing, "We are not a food grade facility. This product is NOT made to be consumed." Please be careful if using on toys that would be put into the mouth of a small child. I personally would not recommend it for baby/toddler toys. I used this to remove (significantly lighten) black marker from the face of my 3 1/2-year-old son's Superman Barbie, but he has long been out of the stage of toy chewing. The black mark was much darker before I snapped the photo, but I was halfway through removing the black mark when I realized I needed to photograph the removal. The Green Gobbler was able to lighten the marker on the doll and did not leave any sticky residue or discoloration. I recommend it for crayon marks as well. :) I have added some crayon masterpieces from overly excited, deep-in-concentration coloring. I do not allow the children to make crayon doodles on the table, walls or furniture, but often the 3-year-old does not stay on the paper. Please note, that the majority of our crayons are the non-washable kind, and crayon marks need more scrubbing than with the Crayola washable ones. We like the organization of our yellow crayon storage center, and so we often deal with scrubbing. The Green Gobbler was able to get the majority of marks (with scrubbing). We will need to apply it a few more times before the surface is completely clear. 

The manufacturer says that some of the many uses include:

Window Cleaner, Kitchen and Bathroom countertops, Floors, Sinks, Bathtubs, Showers, Toilets, Carpets, Jewelry, Stove Tops, Upholstery, Ovens, Grills, Exhaust Hoods, Tape/Glue residue, Driveway Oil Spots, Drain lines, Air Freshener, etc

Please note, that I personally have only used it for cleaning sticky or soiled surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom and on marks such as marker and crayon. It has a fresh and pleasant smell that can freshen the air when used on a surface, but I would not recommend spraying it in the air randomly as an air-freshener. I use Pure Citrus air freshener for making our home smell nice. 

I like using Green Gobbler for cleaning the greasy and food splattered stove after cooking on the stove. I do not have any before and after pictures, as meal preparation times are pretty hectic around here in a small kitchen with 3 small children either underfoot or constantly reminding us they are hungry. :) We generally clean up messes as we go when cooking. 

I like that this is concentrated and you mix the exact amount you need with water, based on the level of cleaning you will need. The side of the bottle provides recommendations. We used the medium level of concentration. This is the amount we have used after a month of daily use. We like this product and use it daily. *This was sent to me complimentary for review. This is my own experience with the product.

Directions: Shake well before using.

Ingredients: 95% Cold pressed orange oil, 5%emulsifier.
