Tropical Traditions Oxygen Bleach Review and Giveaway

I received this product from Tropical Traditions to review. All opinions are 100% my own unless otherwise stated.

Bleach, we all use it and most of us hate it. It kills our clothing and is most of the time a huge mess, not to mention the chemicals in bleach are horrible for the environment. What if you had a bleach that wasn’t any of those things? Well I do and it’s Tropical Traditions Oxygen Bleach.

About Tropical Traditions Oxygen Bleach (From The Household Traditions Website)

People have been using chlorine bleach in their laundries since the end of the 18th century. While these products work very well in whitening clothes, chlorine bleaches do have a negative effect upon the environment because of their chemistry. Care must be taken in using chlorine bleach as it is toxic to humans, animals, and plants.* Also, we all have experienced destroying a colored article of clothing because chlorine bleach was accidentally spilled on it.

Tropical Traditions Oxygen Bleach is a safe and effective alternative to chlorine based products and it can be used in many applications in and around the home. It is based on sodium percarbonate which uses oxygen for destaining and deodorizing. Oxygen Bleach is safe to use at all temperatures, on most washable fabrics, and all colors, in hard or soft water, and is compatible with other household cleaners. Also, it produces no harmful by-products which negatively affect the environment. Unlike chlorine bleach, which can merely cover up a stain, Tropical Traditions Oxygen Bleach attacks and breaks down organic stains to totally remove them from the garment.

My Review

This stuff is wonderful. It’s a powder so it’s not messy, it also is very safe on colors. I just threw some in with a pile of clothing and it really helped to brighten them up. I have a very dull shirt that I always wear the other day someone asked me how I found another shirt just like the one I always wore, that was when I knew this stuff worked really well. At least for me. I was able to use it in all colors of my clothing and it really made everything look great.

Bring Some Shade To Your Home With Window Blinds

With summer comes warm weather, more outdoor activities and the dreaded utility bill from running that air conditioner. Well there is something you can invest in now to keep your home cool all summer long, custom window blinds, now I say custom because they will be made to fit your window. Many people have blinds on their home, but there are cracks between the blind and the edge of the window, or maybe the shade is too long or even too short for the window. This can cause warm air to come into your home and the cool to move out in the summer months.

Custom size shades work more like a glove over a window they are made by taking measurements of your window and custom designed to fit. This reduces the cracks between the shade and the window frame and helps to keep more cool air in your home. Of course this is also a must for winterizing your home, but if you do it now you don’t have to worry later.

If you don’t think you can afford custom blinds do a search for discount custom blinds as there are many great deals out there this time of year. The time it takes to hunt down these deals is well worth the time and energy.
