POTW: Scotch Brite Easy Erasing Pad

POTW: Product of the week*

Last Sunday, after our morning jog, I suddenly had the urge to clean the walls. I remembered that we were given Scotch Brite Easy Erasing Pad sample and that day was the perfect day to test it.

Scoth Brite Easy Erasing Pad removes dirt from the wall without the use of water. It can remove crayon and marker as well as tape markings. Our wall looks like this before we start using the pad:

Tell me you can’t see any markings in there.. LOL seriously, those are tape markings. We love decorating our wall with ABC’s and reviewers. It’s an eyesore.. and here it is after a few minutes of “erasing” the marks with Scotch Brite Easy Erasing Pad:

Convinced? you should be!

Here’s a short clip on how effective it is on erasing marks:

What I love most about this product and the reason why I am sharing it to you is the fact that I don’t need water to achieve this kind of clean. With my old wall cleaning agent, I had to use 2 or 3 pails of water. It will take me an hour just to clean the wall and another hour to clean the mess I created from cleaning the wall and I hate it. Scotch Brite Easy Erasing Pad shortens my cleaning time by more than half! and the mess by almost 80%! now that’s what I call cleaning.

As you can see in the photo, the pad has two sides, the blue and the white. The white is the side for cleaning and the blue is your handle. Use it by rinsing the pad on tap water then squeeze it to drain the water. Be careful not to touch the white part as it can cause a slight burning on your hands (trust me). Use the sponge to erase marks and drawings on your wall by scrubbing it with the white side. You will notice that as the marks fade, the white side is consumed. Throw the pad away when the white part is all gone.

I sill have to check how much Scotch Brite Easy Erasing Pad cost but judging the result I got, I have to say it is worth the money.

*every Wednesday I will try to post products that I highly recommend or products that is worth sharing. Tune next week as I review another great product: Cradle Surface Cleaner.

If you want your products here, send us a sample and we’ll take a look on it.

Practical Parenting Tips On Raising Active (and Healthy!) Kids

If it was 20 or even 10 years ago, it would be different. Children back then we’re so active, playful and always on the go. During our time, it was not that hard, we have a big plaza where we play from 4 PM to sundown. We have trees, we have the whole road for our patinteros, we have the whole plaza for our hide and seek and we had so much fun! I remember when I was a kid, my aunt and uncles would join in the fun, we would play patintero at night in the middle of the road. I want my kids to experience it, to be like that, full of energy, full of life, active and of course healthy.

This year, I promised that I will be more involve with sports and encourage the kids to be the same (including the husband). It’s quite a challenge, specially that the kids prefer playing on their gadget than playing other things. Challenging because we’re all busy. To really make it work, we have to make time for it and be dedicated about it. This is one of the challenge of living in a techy world right? where everything else is so fast, it’s hard to step back a while and take it slow.

For parents like us who wants their kids to be active but have limited access to parks, sports and fitness center, here’s some Practical Parenting Tips On Raising Active (and Healthy!) Kids:

Posture. Start by correcting your kid’s posture. A slouchy person is a lazy person. Of course you have to lead by example. Always stand straight and do not slouch, specially if you are in front of the computer.

Healthy eating. Sa totoo lang ang hirap! what, with the presence of fast food and kid “friendly” meal. It’s easy to just order online and give in to a burger or fried chicken. In our case, we make sure that the kids eat vegetable and meat with the right proportion. We treat them fast food once in a while (once or twice a month). Drink is also an important part of their diet.

Simple and Fun Exercise. A simple 10-20 minute a day with your kid is enough. It does not only promote active lifestyle but also gives you time to bond with your kid. If you have no time for it, make time for it. If your place is small, play jog on place or jumping jack for 10 minutes. You can also climb the last 2 floors from to your unit if you live in your condo. Make it a routine with your kid. When inside malls, use the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator (haven’t tried it yet with the kids but it’s a brilliant idea).

Our line up of healthy activity this year includes joining at Fun Run (Run United this March will be our first), I registered the kids for 500 m dash and hopefully the next race they can join me on the 3k run. Swimming is also included on our list, I’m looking for affordable and swimming pool here in Pasig where the kids swim twice a month. On top of that, we try as much possible to jog and run at Pasig Rainforest 3-4 times per week.
