A Mom's Perspective
 
I seldom write reviews but what happened to me with Dutch Glow is truly remarkable.

Firstly, this furniture polish was enjoyable to use, and it solved a fairly major problem (to me, at least). Secondly, no – this doesn’t only work on pianos – which is what some people have asked me after reading/hearing my review.

Thirdly, here is where I found the product at a discount:
Picture
I inherited a B Squire & Son London upright piano from my Grandmother. It originally belonged to my Great Grandparents so it was quite an antique.

I was told stories growing up about the beautiful way my Great Grandmother could play the piano by ear. The elders in my family said she always added something extra special to her renditions that could only be added if you play by ear.

My Grandmother learned to play from my Great Grandmother, and then she taught me when I was just a little girl. Those are some of the fondest memories from my childhood, so I was delighted to find out I had inherited the antique piano I had always admired.

The wooden base of the piano is made of pure mahogany and I had always loved the rich grain. However, when I first saw it I almost cried.

It was so badly damaged (or so I thought). It was streaky and scratched really badly in some spots. My Grandmother was in a nursing home for four years before she died and her belongings had been placed in a storage unit. Evidently it wasn't heated which was hard on the wood, and it must have been damp too because there was obvious spotting of the wood on the left top and left side.

Regardless, we brought it home and put it in the corner of the living room my husband had cleared for it. For a few days I basically mourned for it. It was like a piece of my Grandmother had died all over again.
Picture
I was so distraught I couldn't even bear to play it. However, after a few days I cleaned it up the best I could. I used regular furniture polish as the last step. Honestly, it didn't look much better than it had but it did make me feel a little better to try.

I decided to get the piano appraised. I had no intention of selling it but I was curious about the true value. More importantly, my daughter was already showing an interest in playing and I was having visions about passing it down to her one day. I also wanted to add the piano to our insurance policy.

The first appraiser came over, and after only a minute, he said, "It is in very poor condition. Does it play?" I told him it did, but needed obvious tuning.

With my permission, he played on it a while, looked inside, and then looked closely at the wood. His final appraisal was between $750 and $900. The second appraiser deemed the piano in poor condition too but appraised at $800 to $1000 in value.

A week later I saw a commercial on TV for Dutch Glow Polish, and then I found a review here. I found what they said about waxy furniture polish buildup very intriguing. The idea that the scratches and other surface abrasions could actually be in the build-up and that Dutch Glow could remove all that really made sense to me.

However, I was still reserved about it actually working like they showed on the commercial. However, I just had to try it, so I ordered some.

When I got the Dutch Glow Polish package, I immediately went to work on the piano. I did a portion along the back first because I was actually scared it might damage the wood. Wow, was I wrong!
Picture
As I rubbed the Dutch Glow into the wood, I could hardly believe my eyes. I opened the skylight so I could get more natural light. I started cleaning the top of the piano and that's when the beautiful grain of the mahogany that had been mostly hidden began to shine through very clearly.

The wood that had been very dull was shining with a red glow that reminded me of some sunsets I've seen. The most amazing thing was that the scratches and other abrasions started disappearing, and within a few swipes were completely gone on each section I worked on.

When I got to the area that had been damaged by the dampness in the storage unit, that's when I was even more amazed at what I saw. I first wiped it thoroughly with the Dutch Glow Polish. Then, I left it to soak in a bit and wiped it in again.

After I had done this three times, I could hardly see any damage! Only if I looked really closely could I see anything and no one else would have looked as closely as I was looking. I also found that it had improved even more by the next morning. I guess the natural substances in the Dutch Glow Polish had somehow soaked in and nourished the wood overnight.

After having the piano professionally tuned, I asked one of the appraisers to come back. I told him I had "restored" the piano and left it at that. He said the condition of the piano was now very good and he appraised it at $3000.

Dutch Glow Polish increased the value of my Grandmother's antique piano by at least $2000 quite literally overnight. I never told the appraiser the full truth. I know my Grandmother was looking down smiling and giggling.
 
The StufZ Burger Press is probably one of the niftiest kitchen cooking aids I’ve come across in a very long time. Almost everyone loves burgers but I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone that likes making burgers (and stuffed burgers at that) from scratch. The StufZ Burger Press is a high quality, durable press that makes stuffing burgers with your favorite ingredients easy, and convenient, delivery delicious dinners in just minutes.
Picture
Pros
  1. Stuffed burgers are easier than ever to make
  2. Easy preparation and cooking
  3. Very little mess and clean up
  4. Convenient dishwashing and space saving storage
  5. Easily comes apart and put back together

Cons:
  1. Probable weight gain from copious burger consumption
  2. You might run out of ingredients to stuff in your burger
  3. Outings to burger restaurants won’t seem as exciting

Stuffed burgers used to be a special weekday dinner when I was a young. I still remember getting ridiculously excited when I smelled fries and burger meat coming from the kitchen. In fact, I didn’t like drive-thru burgers because they were so boring in comparison. My favorite was the bacon, cheese, avocado and green pepper stuffed burgers. I loved them so much, I told my Mom that when I lived on my own, I would make them everyday.

Well, it wasn’t exactly as easy as I thought. Stuffed burgers are really hard to make manually, and I can’t be the only one who has ever tried and given up. It’s tricky to get the spacing, and sealing just right, and figure out exactly how much of what you need. Doing the molding with your hands is inefficient and difficult. It’s hardly surprising that most attempts end in disaster.

For the longest time, I tried to follow my Mom’s classic stuffed burger recipe: half a pound of ground beef or turkey, stuffing ingredients of choice, aluminum foil, repeatedly folding and unfolding, and more bowls and measuring cups than I can count. Needless to say, this method had an approximately 40% success rate. More often than not, I just gave up and fried bland squashed ground beef on a skillet and called it a night. My Mom must have had the patience of a saint, and the hands of butcher to manage making stuffed burgers from scratch. I put stuffed burgers in the category of “failed recipes” and gave up on ever being able to make them — after all, I could just have them when I went to stay with my parents.
Picture
Now, I go to a major football school where tailgates are a really big deal. At one particular tailgate, I came across a stall with stuffed burgers, going for eight bucks. I begrudgingly forked out the money, but not before I caught a glimpse the StufZ Burger Press box in the back of the trailer. As soon as I got home, I checked around various retailers searching for the StufZ Burger Press.

I had a brief internal debate over whether I could fit another appliance into my already tiny and overcrowded kitchen. Between the food processor, blender, egg maker, the random Seat Pets I keep inexplicably finding in my kitchen cabinets, and countless other increasingly useless cooking aids I acquired when I started living on my own, I wasn’t sure whether I should add another one to the list. I decided to go ahead and purchase it. It was much cheaper than both my Foreman Grill and electric skillet, and far more useful. 

Click Here to Go to the Best Deal I Could Find on StufZ

It was easy to use as the Stufz website said: add your choice of ground meat, shape it, stuff it, and then close it to seal. My roommates and I made about six burgers and all of them came out perfectly shaped and sealed. There was no falling apart or spillage. There was practically no mess, no endless dishes to be used in preparation, and best of all, a delicious product. It was much simpler than I expected, so much so that I even got one for my Mom.

The clean up is quite simple, and all the parts are dishwasher friendly. The individual parts come apart easily, and are reassembled with equal simplicity. My concerns about space were largely unfounded — the Stufz Burger Press fits in any cupboard, and doesn’t need any special storage.

Picture
My friends love the burger press, and it’s our new tailgate treat. It goes perfectly with a cool beer or soda, and fries. It’s the perfect way to kick off a game, whether it’s at the stadium or in the backyard. You can take it practically anywhere because of it’s compact size. It fits in any bag or cooler, and you can wipe it down with paper towels and put it away.

Another thing I like, is how quickly you can make the burgers. Hand stuffing and molding can take ages, and just for a single patty. With the StufZ Burger Press, I managed to make several in less than an hour. You can focus on making other things, and sides instead of endless laboring on the ground meat to get it just right.

I would have to say that my favorite thing about it, is the limitless variety of combinations. I’ve experimented to my heart’s delight with every kind of stuffing and topping imaginable on a burger. I made veggie burgers, Portobello mushroom burgers, chili burgers — I could go on and on. It makes it easy to try different things without worrying that they might backfire — because they simply won’t with the burger press.

My Final Thoughts

The StufZ Burger Press, for it’s usefulness, is extremely well-priced. I found it available at many different places, but it was cheapest directly on the Stufz website for just 9.99 plus shipping and handling. At restaurants, or food trailers you could end up paying that for just one stuffed burger. You could make your own, over and over again with just the single purchase. I think there was even a buy one get one free promotion available — any friend or family member will appreciate the gift.

 
The Cat’s Meow Toy is a wonderful item that can not only keep your cat healthy and entertained, but it will stop them from tearing apart furniture and drapes with their claws. The non-stop motion of this toy will hold their attention and drive away the boredom that leads to destructive behavior. In addition they will enjoy hours of active fun, fun the whole family will share in.
Picture
Pros
  1. Cats of all ages will love it
  2. Keeps cats from scratching and clawing the furniture
  3. Durably made from rip stop nylon
  4. Motor continues to run if the cat pounces on the toy
  5. Provides exercise for your cat

Cons
  1. Your cat won’t want to play with his other toys
  2. It will use up the batteries quickly because your pet will play with it constantly

This imaginative cat toy will keep your pet entertained for hours. It is a round piece made of bright yellow nylon that resists tearing. Underneath is the “mouse” that races around the circle in random patterns and varying speeds. The motor runs on three AA batteries. If your cat is as excited about this toy as most others are, invest in some rechargeable batteries. This will save money on always buying new ones. Because the toy uses a variety of patterns in the play, cats never know what to expect next. The whole family is going to get a thrill out of watching them jump back and forth trying to catch that pesky mouse hiding under the nylon.

The best feature of the Cat’s Meow Toy is that it keeps your kitten so busy he won’t have time to scratch the furniture and drapes. Cats get bored easily. Without the proper toys they will go in search of their own fun. This can result in expensive furniture being torn to shreds. The Cat’s Meow Toy will help them burn off that restless cat energy, focusing it on good clean fun rather than bad behavior.

Another perk to the Cat’s Meow Toy is that it doubles as a wonderful workout for the family pet. Indoor cats tend to have weight issues. They like to eat and lounge in the windows. With today’s busy lifestyles, many people simply don’t have the time to play with their cats enough to keep them fit. With the Cat’s Meow Toy you can turn it on and go about your business while kitty enjoys a full workout.

There is no need to sit and watch your cat as he plays. The motor runs continuously, even if they pounce on the part that moves. As soon as he lets go, the toy continues to race around in its random directions and speeds. Because it operates on batteries, you won’t have any electric cords to worry about.
Picture
Cats of all ages and sizes will benefit from the Cat’s Meow Toy. The cost is only $19.99 plus shipping and handling. As an added bonus they will send you a second one for free with the cost of shipping. This is ideal for houses with more than one cat. They also make perfect gifts for anyone you know who has a cat. Once your Cat’s Meow Toy arrives, you’ll find it is easy to put together and operate. Cats can’t seem to resist the chase and catch action this toy provides. Experiment with putting it in different areas of the house. It is so much fun for both you and the cat when it’s in the middle of the room, but try putting it next to a cat house or shelf. Watch in delight as your cat tries catching this mystery toy by pouncing on it from different angles and heights.

People who have already bought the Cat’s Meow Toy can’t say enough good things about it. “Smart toy, cats love it” says it all. Your cat will enjoy the way it surprises them by changing patterns on them. The wand under the nylon plays peek-a-boo with the cat, mimicking the movement of a real mouse. This toy truly plays upon a cat’s natural instincts. Now indoor cats can enjoy the same fun and exercise as the ones roaming about the outdoors. Another happy pet owner described it as being the “best cat toy ever.”

With such a reasonable price you will find you have nothing to lose. In addition to a free one, you’ll get a 30 day manufacturer’s warranty. Cats of all ages love this toy’s non-stop action. The hours of entertainment will leave you with a healthy and happy cat who won’t keep busy by destroying your furniture or window coverings.

Ruggies are the answer to area rugs that curl, turn, or slip. They provide an aspect of safety in the home by preventing one from tripping and slipping on mats and rugs. They work by keeping the rug in place and do their job without causing any damage to the floor’s surface. Area rugs will look neat and orderly while creating a safer environment within your house.
Picture
Pros
  1. Grip so rug won’t slip
  2. Stops bunching, curled corners, tripping, and slipping
  3. Sticks to hard floors and carpeting
  4. Reusable
  5. Won’t damage floors

Cons
  1. You’ll forget you have area rugs
  2. You’ll find yourself ordering more

Today’s homes are using more and more hard wood flooring, tiles, and laminates. The popularity of these floor coverings has caused an increase in the use of area rugs when decorating. Unfortunately, it has also caused an increase in injuries within the home due to falls, especially with young children and the elderly. Ruggies rug grippers can help reduce the odds of these terrible accidents in your home.

Another problem resulting from using area rugs inside your house is that they tend to turn or curl up. After rugs are manufactured they are rolled up for storage. Many times they are not unrolled until you have purchased them and they are in your home. This is what causes area rugs to not lay as flat as you would like. Ruggies is a quick, affordable, easy to use solution to this problem.

To use Ruggies simply press them onto the carpeting or hard wood floor to keep the area rug held in place. The grip is so good that it will continue to hold even when vacuuming over the rug. The best part is that they are reusable. They can be taken off of one rug and placed on another by washing them. This helps to reactivate the gripping action.

Ruggies work due to a tacky grip polymer technology. This technology holds the area rug or mat while suction pockets cling to the floor. Once removed there is no type of residue left behind. This makes them safe to use on all floor types. No adhesive is used with this product.

When you purchase Ruggies you will get a set of eight plus eight more for free. This is enough to hold down up to four rugs. In addition they are sending you a free mystery gift for ordering. When you consider the advantages of using this product, it is a very good deal at $10 plus shipping and handling. Ordering is risk free with the 30 day money back guarantee.

Once you receive your Ruggies simply place one at each corner of the rug you want to hold down. They can also be placed along the edges with just as much effect. The tacky grip polymer technology will grip to the rug while the hundreds of suctioning pockets will hold to the floor. The best part is that they work without any sort of sticky glue or adhesive. When you want to move the area rug, they can easily be removed, washed, and used again. Your rugs will stay in place without tripping unsuspecting passer byes. 

These will work on all shapes and sizes of rugs and mats. Because of their triangular shape many people think they may not work with circular or oval shaped rugs. This is not true. On any rug that does not have exact corners you can place them evenly along the edges. The results will be just as good as with a traditional square or rectangular rug. Four of these great products will adequately hold the average area rug, but more can be used along the edges of larger or longer pieces such as runners. 

Those who have already purchased them are quick to sing their praises. One satisfied customer stated “The Ruggies work great – worth every penny.” Even customers with high volumes of traffic in their homes are enjoying the benefits. One woman wrote “Even with two puppies running and sliding this grips pretty well.” Imagine what they can do for you and your family. Anyone with pets, children, or older family members will love this product.

With the help of Ruggies you can achieve the decorator look you want for your home without compromising anyone’s safety. Relax while knowing that all of your family members are safe from unwanted falls, and say good bye to rugs turned to awkward angles after the children and pets have run past. You’ll look across the floors at beautifully placed rugs and mats that lie flat, and when it’s time to move them there will be no damage left behind.

Tripping over cords in the house, garage, and office can be a distraction and a safety hazard. They seem to be everywhere. They get tangled up, and reaching in to find an open socket to plug in a phone or new appliance usually means a lot of frustration and time, adding an extension cord or bulky multiple power strip and re-plugging everything in. With Side Socket, that frustration is over.
Picture
Pros
  1. Easy to reach outlets for plugging in cords
  2. Furniture fits flush to the wall
  3.  Go from two to six outlets
  4. Only 90 degree swiveling multi-plug outlet
  5. Reliable surge protection in the house, garage, or office

Cons
  1. Extra extension cords to get rid of
  2. More space in the middle of the room to figure out what to do with

Have you ever tried to unplug the cable box to reset it, or needed to unplug the coffee maker to plug the toaster in? Have you ever had to replace one of you electronics? It can be frustrating to finally pull the right plug out of the outlet only to have to untangle all of the other cords, too, to be able to pull out the old to add the new. With a messy jumble of cords plugged into a traditional outlet power strip or extension cord, it can be difficult to figure out which cord goes to what. The unique design of the Side Socket makes finding the cord you need quick and easy.

On top of the messiness, all of those cords on the floor with a regular extension cord means that a lot of dust collects around the cords and base boards. With cords that lift off the ground with the Side Socket surge protector, you can clean more easily and thoroughly around those outlets and wiping cords that are off the ground is much easier the reaching behind and underneath furniture to get at the rogue dust bunnies. 

It can be particularly frustrating to get everything organized and ready to get plugged in only to find out that your extension cords can’t be used with a three-pronged plug and that’s exactly what you need. Every outlet of the Side Socket takes the three-prongs, so you’re left with less frustration, and you’ll have more time that you save from having to run out and search for a new extension cord to buy.

The convenient rotation of the Side Socket also makes moving furniture to plug in an appliance or electronic gadget a thing of the past. Moving a dresser, sofa, entertainment center, or any other piece of heavy furniture covering up an outlet can be difficult, and in most homes the outlets are in the least convenient places. The unique rotating design makes it easy to plug in multiple devices without having to move furniture to get at the outlet.

You finally get everything plugged in, and you place the multi-socket power strip behind the dresser to keep it out of sight. It works and you push the dresser back against the bulky multi-outlet power strip as far as you can, but now your dresser is 2 or 3 inches away from the wall. There’s no wasted space with the Side Socket. Because your furniture will back up right to the wall, you have more space in the middle of the room to enjoy.

The most disturbing of the problems caused by regular extension cords has to do with safety. All of those tangled cords can create a fire hazard. The more that is plugged into an extension cord, the more likely a power surge could cause a dangerous situation. The surge protection of the Side Socket offers peace of mind from a short circuit disaster.

You can count tripping over long cords as a safety hazard, too. Garages, in particular, are typically short on outlets, and adding three times the number is helpful and convenient, and it eliminates the need to run cords in dangerous walkways. Office space is another tricky place to find enough outlets, and Side Socket takes care of that, along with eliminating cords that get worn from being ran over with chairs or tripped on.

As an added bonus to all of the helpful features of the Side Socket, there’s also a money back lifetime guarantee. And, right now at https://www.sidesocket.com, you can get the Side Socket in a special buy one, get one free offer. For only $10, plus a $7.95 processing and handling and an additional processing and handling fee for the second piece, you’ll have two in order to better organize and protect your home.
