SC Johnson Gift Pack Review & Giveaway!

This is a little different from our normal giveaway but when I was contacted by SC Johnson about this Gift pack, I thought right away how it would appeal to most of us!

I don’t know about you but Fall starts the busy holiday decorating season for me – and carries right on through past New Years.
Which means lots more things out and about, decorations, knick knacks – you name it.

With all those extra things out around the house – I try to clean even more often. It feels like if the house is cleaner, the extra decorations don’t feel too overwhelming and messy.

If you feel the same way, SC Johnson has a great site that called Right At Home you should check out. There are organizing tips, recipes, really fun design and decorating ideas, and ideas for you and your family like saving money at the holidays and ways to find time during all the business of the season for you!

I found this cute tutorial there for a Number Pillow by one of my favorite bloggers, Cathe Holden!

So are you ready to see what they sent me?

First off – I was surprised with how cute it was wrapped up!! I think cleaning and home supplies should always be delivered in big wrapped boxes. That would make it all so much more fun. ;)

Here’s what it looks like all spread out!

We have a Pledge Fabric Sweeper, Pledge Multi-Surface cleaner (wood, metal whatever), Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower Foamer and Toilet Cleaning Gel, Windex Electronics wipes, Shout Color Catchers and a sweet Glade  Scented Oil candle!

Awesome stuff right?

Now – I’m not going to show you before and after shots of my toilet and shower – I think there is such as thing as blogger TMI. ;) But let me say that I love everything they sent!!

My favorites are the Windex Electronics Wipes and the Shout Color Catchers!

The electronics wipes are so easy to use – and they are so perfect for us. With two teenagers, a blogger and a computer guy – you can imagine the number of electronics around here.
One Windex Wipe can clean all the computers and iPods and phones! So perfect.

My other favorite is the Color Catchers. And I have proof for you just how awesome they are.
This is a shot of my sister’s quilt.

The back was prewashed without Color Catchers – can you see all the pink diamonds? Those used to be white. The red bled in the wash. :(
After we put the quilt together, we were worried about all the white on the front turning pink, so we used Shout Color Catchers in the load.

You can see that the front is nice and white and pretty!!
I’ve used these several times and have had fabulous results. They are definitely must-haves if you are a sewer or quilter!

Awesome right?
