New Products and Lifestyle Tips
Clean teeth without the “ouch” factor
An inactive ingredient — alcohol — that comprises
21.6 per cent of its formula causes the burning sensation
in the leading mouthwash. Crest Pro-Health Rinse provides
the same types of oral health benefits
as the leading mouthwash and
kills 99 per cent of common
germs that can cause plaque,
gingivitis and bad breath —
all without the burning sensation
of alcohol. Available
nationwide at retailers for
$3.99 for a 500-millilitre (15
ounce) bottle and
$5.99 for a one-litre
(1.76 pint) bottle.
Spin, drain and store in one bag
Everyone knows how time consuming
cleaning fresh produce can be. Now with
new Spin’nStor by the Argee Corporation,
washing vegetables
is easier and storing
for later use — just
as simple. The
Spin’nStor spin bag
includes a reservoir
in the bottom of
the bag so the
water drains easily
out. Using the
enclosed twist
ties, the bag
now becomes
your container
and keeps salad
fresh in the fridge for days.No more bowls or
containers to wash. It’s perfect for campers,
RVs, boats or wherever space is at a premium.
Look for them in your grocery aisles or
order direct from www.argeecorp.com.

Pushing the envelope on
lawn maintenance
Unlike competing rotary power mowers
that tear grass rather than cut it, Sunlawn reel
mowers feature high-tech custom scissor-like
blades that cut grass
cleanly. Weighing as little
as 7.65 kilogram (17
pounds), it has a strong
and resilient metal case.
With a variety of styles to
choose from, including
the MM-2 heavy duty
mower with a seven-blade
reel for mowing dense
grass, the LMM Series
Sunlawn mowers are the lightest, quietest and
easiest to manoeuvre mowers on the market. So
if you want to get some exercise with your push
mower, use fewer emissions, reduce noise but
still get a pristinely groomed lawn, look for
Sunlawn mowers and accessories at your local
hardware store.
Hands-free wash-ups
Cleaning up after a day of gardening or other creative pursuit
that gets your hands dirty just got easier with a hands-free electronic
faucet designed exclusively for
the powder room. The
Destiny design from
Moen uses infrared sensors
to detect motion to
start and stop the flow of
water, ensuring no water
is wasted and the water is
only running when necessary.
Because the model
doesn’t have handles, the
spread of germs and bacteria
to the next user is
reduced. Homeowners
can now have the benefits
of hands-free technology
just like commercial restrooms
yet with the distinctive styling to match their home decor. The
Destiny hands-free bath faucet also meets requirements for the physically
challenged. Look for the Destiny model wherever plumbing
supplies are sold.
