| For the Boys: Reliable's F5 Pantman pant press |
Of course you're the kind of guy who always hangs up your pants, no matter how late it is when you get home. No baggy knees or saggy bottoms for you, the tell-tale sign of trousers that spent the night over the back of a chair. No puckered hanger lines on your best dress pants, the ones that only come out of the back of the closet every six months or so.
Well, you won't have any use then, for the F5 Pantman pant press by Reliable, will you? The creases on your trousers are so razor sharp, those linen pants so wrinkle-free that taking a few moments in the morning to slip both pant legs into the portable Pantman, selecting the appropriate fabric setting on the LED display, and before you've flossed your teeth, you have a perfect crease, would be a completely unnecessary ritual.
But if, in a fit of passion, you might occasionally be tempted to drop your drawers in a heap on the bedroom floor (and God forbid, have to wear them the next day), the F5 Pantman is only $229, available on www.amazon.com.

| I FOUND IT – THE ONE CLEANING TOOL I WANT TO USE! |
| I am so excited about the Steamboy T1 Steam Floor Mop! It is the very first mop that I actually don't dread using. I'm kind of infatuated with how clean it gets my floors. I hate swiffers because to me - they always seem to push the dirt around the floor. I don't like to use the wring out mop and bucket because, well, it grosses me out. I think it's nasty to keep using that dirty bucket of water on my floor. In my current kitchen I am stuck with white linoleum and it always looks dirty. I ended up cleaning my floors on my hands and knees with a sponge. It was exhausting and took forever (probably explains why my floors hadn't been cleaned in months). Thus enter the new love of my life - the Steamboy! |
|
| This mop is amazing. I can actually see the steam rising off my kitchen floors. I know that they are being sanitized. I am still amazed that I don't have to scrub the floors. I just slowly glide the Steamboy across them and they come out incredibly clean. The mop comes with two cloth pads you can just toss in the washer when you are finished cleaning with them. I don't have to deal with a wet mop and dirty pail of water! All I have to do is run the vacuum through my kitchen to get the crumbs and then I the Steamboy does the rest. |

This mop is designed to be used on sealed hardwoods, tiled floors or ceramics. It also has a carpet glide that you can use to clean and deodorize your carpets. Check out the video we made as we we tried out the Steamboy. It's hard to see how clean the floors got with this mop but you have my word "My floors have never been cleaner"!
