Reclaim Your Shower From Soap Scum And Mildew With This Lazy Cleaner's Dream Wet & Forget Shower Cleaner Spray
Review: "Photos don’t lie! This stuff works!! We have used just about every product available, steamed, scrubbed, scraped, and power washed our shower walls. None worked.

At first I was embarrassed to post pictures but I had to share how well this cleaner works." - Mary Elizabeth

Turn Your Black Thumb Green With These Plant-Saving Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals
Review: ""I thought my hooman was crazy for adding these to our pretty flowers. I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen. So I took the bag and ran off with it because I wanted to see what all the hype was about for myself. My hooman wasn't impressed. I spilled them everywhere! She cleaned up the mess but didn't realize there were still some on the sidewalk. Then it rained! And those hidden specs grew to be the size of my toes! The rest of the sidewalk dried up but where those globs were at was still wet so I guess my hooman knows what she's talking about about after all. Maybe I should listen to her more? Our I flowers do sure look great though!" -Vera" - HappyOwner

Review: "Love it! Fits my hair dryer,curling iron,flat iron and more. Keeps everything tidy and my cords free from being tangle or crimped.☺ Nicer heavy construction,made very well and it's length is adjustable. Although, make sure you measure the width of your cabinetry door... the organizer is a bit much for our smaller cabinet door which is my fault for not measuring. However, I love it so much that it's not really a problem as we are not going to be living in our current home forever." - Stacy
