Badger Basket Company Natural Moses

For anyone that's tried to clean teak, you will thank me for this. I spent 8 hours trying to scrub, then oil my teak bench. I used expensive teak cleaner. I still had 9 more pieces to go and the bench didn't look very good. I then figured out how its done.

Get some TSP (Tri-sodium phosphate) from Lowes (or any hardware store). Mix it with water in a 1 gal pump sprayer as per the directions on the TSP container and spray liberally on the furniture. Wait about 5 minutes, then use a power washer on the lowest velocity nozzle. The dirt and greying will come off instantly and you will have beautiful blonde teak.

After the wood dries, some streaking will be evident..Don't worry!!!! Let the furniture dry for a few days, then use the pump sprayer the apply the Senco Teak sealant. The honey tone covers any streaking that had been there and the furniture will look brand new. I'm not kidding. My family thought we had gotten new furniture!

Shaklee Basic H2 Cleaning Concentrate

This is a great make-up table. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but I do not regret the extra money I spent -- you really do get what you pay for with this table. It is a substantial piece of wooden furniture - not partical board with a wood grain veneer. I think it looks elegant rather than utilitarian like most of the ones I saw. Unlike most of the other make up tables it has lot of shallow drawers for storing make up. The drawers are all lined with a product that is similar to a pool table. The top side draw has an insert like a jewelry box to store rings. I keep my eyeliners there so they do not roll around when I open the drawer. The entire side opens and has hooks for necklaces. I hung my wide tooth comb, hair brush and other hair accessories there. It is perfect for me in both form and function.

Good brush

Adjustable Overbed Bedside laptop Folding

First of all I have to say that getting a business card with a hand-written thank you on the back was a great touch. Thanks Tony. It is nice to know that a business truly appreciates your purchase. The shipping was super fast and the brush is well made.

The brush is great and I am glad that I went ahead and ordered two based on the previous reviews so that I can use a different brush for different jobs. Like others I bought this for household cleaning and not for automotive carpet so if you are planning to use this for carpet then this review will not help. Sorry. For those looking to save some time and sweat when scrubbing a tub or tile then you absolutely must buy this. Even without chemicals this brush got the tub sparkling clean when mounted on my cordless drill. Just wet the tub, scrub away and rinse.

I really think they need to market this thing a little differently by touting the fact that when using a rechargeable battery powered drill and this brush you are using the greenest method possible to clean your home.

Can't wait to try this on the tile floors, the grill, the wheels on my car and a lot of other tough cleaning jobs.

Thanks for making a great product.

great quality for the price

Home Styles 5050 22 Craftsman Distressed

From the moment this sofa table arrived, we knew it was perfect. It came quickly without an issue in delivery. It was heavy. It took my husband and both to carry it in the house. My husband had it together in under half an hour all on his own without a problem. It has a beautiful distressed oak finish and the black metal really sets it off. The picture doesn't do it justice. Drawers open smoothly and are spacious too (We easily put 10-15 of our favorite dvds inside one drawer and some other tv/dvd player supplies in the other). I put a set of rich colored baskets beneath it to add texture and a little storage room. The price was exactly right and the quality was excellent for what we paid for it. This sofa table adds richness to the look of our living room. Many visitors have commented on how beautiful it looks and want to know where we got it. This sofa table is exactly what we wanted without stretching our budget to the limit. We love it!

A must for pet owners

Dyson Tangle Free Tool Turbine

The tangle-free turbine tool came as an accessory with the DC41 Animal that I purchased from QVC when it was a Today's Special Value. It came with 6 or 7 other attachments, but seeing this demonstrated on TV was just the push I needed to not only upgrade my vacuum cleaner, but potentially own a more effective tool to remove pet hair from just about everywhere.

I'm a clean freak with a Golden Retriever who sheds like she's adding a new coat every day. Dyson's regular turbine brushes have done a fine job removing her hair from my upholstered furniture, but every month or so, I'd have to forcibly remove the hair that had wound around the brush roll. It is far from my favorite chore, but if you don't do it, the speed and effectiveness of the brush diminishes over time.

The tangle-free turbine tool looked like the answer to my prayers and I'm happy to say that it's everything they say it is. I cleaned dog hair off my stairs, upholstered furniture, out of my car, and amazingly enough, off my bed comforter. I never realized how much fur had become entwined in the sides of the comforter that the dog rubbed up against since the color was about the same as my dog's fur. It did an amazing job picking up the pet hair and I was astonished that there weren't huge strings of fur clogging the brushes.

They are designed to funnel the hair into the vacuum after twining it. Now that I have used the tool for several months, I am seeing a buildup of small undercoat fur on the brushes -- not much, just small pieces that are almost impossible to pull off to keep the brush clean. These hairs attract and hold longer hairs, so I am finding twined strands of dog fur in the bristles that I can pull off easily and let the vacuum suck up. All in all, not completely tangle free, but as close as I have ever seen.

When I'm done using the turbine brush, I take it off the hose and then use the suction from the hose to remove any loose fur off the brush. That also helps to remove any dander which does tend to cake up in areas of the clear plastic that are hard to reach. I can easily dislodge the dander with my finger with the brush detached from the hose and then the suction will just pull it in once it's loose.

This is my favorite Dyson tool ever, and even though expensive, it is worth the cost considering how effective it is. If you have a pet that sheds, this is a lifesaver and a sanity-saver. It does a terrific job on human hair on the floor in the bathroom. I use it with my DC44 Slim for quick pickups after blow drying my hair and it does an excellent job without clogging the tool. If you are considering this tool, give it a try. It's innovative and functional and well made.

Excellent Cabinet!

Home Styles 5537 13 Lafayette Cabinet

We didn't want to spend twice as much or more on a pier cabinet for media components, found this, and decided to try it. Although it is impossible to judge the color and quality from some small pictures, it turned out great. I would consider the finish and quality to be as good as most cabinets at twice the cost in department stores. The color of my unit may be a bit darker than the picture appears, more of the dark tones, though that could vary day to day in production. Be careful when inserting components onto the shelves as the front corners especially are easy to scratch as you slide them in, but a little dark furniture polish should hide any marks. There is one hole for wires in the bottom of lower cabinet and one in the top shelves. It would be nice if there were some optional punch outs for at least one higher hole since all my wires must run down behind the adjustable shelves and out the bottom. Though you could certainly make another hole in the thin panel backing.

ASSEMBLY
Assembly took some time and was a little difficult because the holes may have been a little off between the two sides and the pieces in between. But it all worked with a bit more force than I would have preferred to use. I had one issue with the lower front trim not having all the holes in correct position, but it did not appear to have any structural impact and the other fasteners hold the piece properly, so I didn't worry about it. Once together, all the important seams fit together nicely. There is a small gap around the bottom of the upper trim, but it wraps down around the sides so it is not really noticeable. The foot pieces in the four lower corners attach separately and aren't perfectly aligned, but good enough you probably wouldn't notice.

RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend this if you are looking for something that doesn't look cheap but not wanting to spend as much as most of these cabinets cost. I would not recommend this if you do not like to assemble items or sometimes have difficulty with assembly. When looked at closely it is clearly not a $600+ unit, but it looks good enough for me.

Home Star Country Cottage Collection

A small child is kidnapped apparently under her mother's nose. A burglar is going round piling up furniture against his victims' front doors so that he can make a quick getaway through the back door if the owners of the property suddenly arrive home. Lydia has just moved into a newly converted flat in what was a mental hospital in the historic city of Eborby and is troubled by nightmares which feature a malevolent clock. DI Joe Plantagenet and his boss, DCI Emily Thwaite are trying to keep a lid on the crime rate.

If you add into the mix a university researcher who has found something evil and a man with an obsession with a serial killer the result is spine chilling and a frightening read. This is a fast paced and well written story with more than a hint of supernatural happenings which make the hairs on the back of the reader's neck stand on end. I got close to the end of the book quite late last night but made myself leave the last three chapters until daylight!

I like the police characters in this series - Joe, with his troubled past and his current loneliness, Emily trying to juggle a hectic job and family life; I also like George Merryweather - the clergyman with the job of dealing with supernatural happenings. The background of the ancient city with its narrow streets and chequered past gives an added frisson to this series which mixes ghostly happenings with crime which is all too real and substantial.

Strathwood Gibranta All Weather Hardwood 2 Seater

We purchased this bench with the two matching chairs, and are very pleased!

Pros:
SUPER easy to assemble (two adults, one on crutches, less than an hour for both chairs and a bench with the "help" of an energetic 2 yr old.)

Looks a lot more expensive than it was!

Cons:
The cushions are thin, and won't be comfortable for long periods on the patio, but that's an easy fix.

The back cushions are.. odd. The cushion itself is big enough to cover all of the rails, but the velcro attachment is short so that it only really covers about four slats. This forces you to squish some of the cushion through the slats to fully fasten the back cushions.

The fabric the cushions are covered in.. I wouldn't leave it out exposed to the elements... Be prepared to either replace it, launder it (a lot), or bring them in each evening.

Although several reviewers mentioned cracked or split wood, we didn't have this problem. We have Prime and opted for the one day shipping, and think the reduced time in transit might have helped keep things safe. All in all we are very happy with the purchase and are considering the matching chaise.

Great Toddler Table and Chairs

Childrens Folding Table Chairs Furniture

I've had this set, (purchased elsewhere with only two chairs), for over 5 years starting when my grandson, who is currently seven, was two. Now, he and his six year old sister sit together and share quite comfortably. King David is rather rough with everything but has never punctured the table or seats. However, early on, the back of one of the chairs did come off at his constant pulling. It still works fine as a chair and HE has to use the one without the padded back.

I've come on searching for additional chairs which I am not finding as their cousin now visits me at the same time, so I need two more. Would love to find without buying new table since this one is in mint condition and the eldest will outgrow it soon. If you know where I can find them, please reply.

It's a reasonable price and a quality set that does not have to be pampered. Folds away quite flatly and wipes clean quickly. And the children love the colors and in fact claim their seats by color. You can't beat it.

We are in our 70's and age and arthritis have made a few household chores less than enjoyable. Especially wrestling an upright sweeper around. I had been looking at these things for some time and wondering just what kind of job they would do. Finally, I decided to give one a try. I had only heard of the Roomba but just gave Amazon the general search parameters of "Robot Vacuum" I chose the Neato because of the generally good reviews it had. My only concern was our little dog. He, like a lot of dogs, is scared to death of the vacuum. We need not have worried. He keeps trying to get it to play with him. I think he thinks we got him a pet. The vacuum, itself does an excellent job and it only took us a couple of days to learn what areas it had trouble negotiating and change the setup so the vacuum could find it's way through. Now it's completely supervision free and the only thing we have to do is keep it's bin empty. It's even considerate enough to thank you when clean out the bin. During all our 50 years of marriage we often joked about "Bridget," the maid who didn't get her work done. As in, I guess that girl forgot the dishes again, I'll have to do them myself, etc. Now we have a Bridget and while she won't do dishes or windows, she does a remarkable job with the carpet.

Nice Boot!!!!

Madeline Womens Satcha Knee High Brown

Bought this for use on our deck at the rear of the house. Recently re-stained the deck and needed something to serve as a bit of protection and to assist in keeping the trail of dirty paws that our dog brings with him each time he goes outside.
It is great !! Looks good and is easy to clean.
Was concerned, when I was about to lay the thing down, about it's weight since it can get a bit windy on the deck surface if a storm rolls in from the Southwest. Winds up to 25mph to date and it hasn't budged an inch so far. A part of it will be exposed to direct sunlight this summer (if summer ever comes again : )) but even if it fades, the price will make it easily replaceable.
Only one thing that was somewhat of a problem. The rug was delivered tightly rolled but it had no tube to help keep the folds from forming. It will be awhile before the entire piece lays perfectly flat.

Great little crib

Dream On Me Portable Convertible

This is a beautiful mini crib. I am able to have baby bedside and it fits wonderfully in our master bedroom. This crib was amazingly easy to put together, I assembled it in less than an hour (and trust me I am not a Mrs. Fix it)without my husbands help at 36 weeks pregnant!

Here's the thing please plan on purchasing a matteress with this crib and not using the one that comes with it, the mattress is only about 1/2 inch thick. That's the only downside, the upside is that matteresses for this bed are very inexpensive. Also, this is a mini crib, what makes it portable is the fact that you can easily move it within a room, it is not a crib that is truly portable meaning unless you're brave you will NOT be moving it from room to room or taking it on vacation with you. Also the crib does not use standard crib sheets it uses mini crib sheets.

Hope this review was helpful.

Oreck Commercial OR100 Premier Straight

Buy these NOW!! I only wish I had gotten these sooner... I have a small dog, almost 15 years old, who has accidents and has lost some sight and hearing. For almost two years he has had accidents while waiting to go outside. Unfortunately, my wood floors and throw rugs have taken a beating from him. I cannot put him in a kennel at his age; he would not understand, as he has never been kenneled.
I took a chance on these and could not be more pleased. Without any prodding, Puddles (haha) went right to the pad to go potty. He goes to it any time we are not around to take him out.
What makes these so great, is that somehow, they absorb every drop, and no urine goes through to the floor (wood) or carpet! I have three of these and rotate them daily. They don't stain, or even really smell at all. They wash up well, and I hang them to dry.
If I had had these earlier, my wood floor would have been spared and also a few throw rugs. I highly recommend these pads if you have an old dog who is having some problems waiting to go outside. You won't be disappointed!

I thought it was going to be pretty hard to find something that was as good of a display as that was. This monitor is definitely on par with the Mac display. The benefit that I do appreciate with the Apple display is that it has a glass screen, but that seems pretty hard to come by from any other company.

I read a decent amount of reviews that said this monitor was wobbly, but I've found that if assembled properly it doesn't wobble with normal usage. If you are purposefully trying to shake your desk, then yes it is going to wobble. I'm typing this on a small wooden desk with a mechanical keyboard and I can see no noticeable wobbling from keystrokes.

The only complaint I do have this it's excessively bright. It comes out of the box at 100 brightness. I turned down the brightness and contrast to a normal level with balanced whites.

I had no trouble with the monitor at all. Plug and play. Using the DVI that came with the display and the computer detected and auto-set 1920x1080 automatically.

Definitely glad that I bought this monitor.

Crosley Furniture Alexandria 48 Inch Classic

I've had the sweeper for about 6 years, and love using it.
- It's sturdy: Still in excellent shape even after such a long time, and although my son liked sitting on it when he was a toddler.
- It's easy to use: Much lighter to carry than a vacuum, fits in corners and under sofas that I can't really reach otherwise, and doesn't need a power outlet. The only caveat is that it needs to be emptied frequently, or the dust and dirt will start coming back out.
- Great performance: I use the sweeper mostly on carpets / rugs, especially in areas where my kids have played and left Legos, K'Nex and other small parts. The sweeper picks up quite a bit of dirt, as well as the toys, which are then very easy to remove. It picks up pine needles from hardwood floors, as well as dust bunnies and crumbs. I don't have pets, so I'm not sure how well it can deal with cat or dog hair.
- It's very silent - I originally bought this because our old vacuum was very loud, and I couldn't use it while the baby was sleeping, and he would start crying when he was awake and I turned it on. Now I can even listen to music while cleaning.

Dyson DC33 Hepa - good product

South Shore Sandbox Collection Platform

In our old home I had a Dyson DC21 canister vac that I loved - it was very powerful and easy to each in all the nooks and crannies, it was a small house with hardwood floors and awkward spaces to vacuum. However when we moved to out new condo, which has about 650 square feet of medium pile carpet in the huge bedroom and 3 levels (2 flights of stairs) and I found the canister much less convenient for this arrangement. SO I decided to sell the DC21 and buy a cheaper upright vac. I got the Hoover T series bagged ("HEPA" bag - I put that in quotes because it's not a true HEPA system) Windtunnel but I was very unhappy with it - poor suction which I was not able to fix, the door of the bag compartment wouldn't close tightly which may have contributed to poor suction, and the plastic parts were very cheaply made. I very much missed my Dyson and was unhappy that I'd sold it for the inferior Hoover. I returned the Hoover and went shopping for a Dyson upright, resigned to spending more money than I'd been able to sell my used Dyson for.

I tried out the Ball models and I liked the agility and flat front that would fit under cabinets, but the DC24 in my price range had a very small dirt bin, and less suction than the DC33 and a more fiddly wand assembly. The DC25 is great but a lot more expensive. I decided to go with the DC33 and I like it - light enough to carry up stairs, but very powerful cleaning. I plan to buy a mini turbine head to clean under furniture with the wand attachment. The dirt bin is easy to empty into a bag without puffing dirt all over, important for allergy suffers. And the air exhaust is clean smelling and doesn't trigger my allergies as I vacuum. And like all Dysons, it has major cleaning power!

52" Classic Cat Tree in Beige

52 Classic Cat Tree Beige

My daughter has always been a climber, since before she could even walk! We have always joked that she is our "monkey" and having lovingly nicknamed her so. It was no laughing matter when she began climbing her dresser, bookshelf and changing table in her room. One night, the dresser actually tipped and fell completely on top of her. Thankfully, she was fine (she didn't even cry!) but as a mother, I was NOT fine! I removed all furniture from her room until these furniture clips arrived. They were very easy to install and very sturdy. My husband and I have both yanked on her furniture several times with decent strength to make sure they were firmly attached to the wall. I would recommend this product to anyone, not just parents of climbers. All furniture should be securly bolted to the wall, just to be safe. These were also very good value. Thanks!

Real quality, very well made

Bowflex 100300 SelectTech Dumbbell Stand

I purchased this with Amazon Prime and it was 20 bucks cheaper than the local sporting goods big box even with shipping. It arrived undamaged and is very well packed.

Assembly was pretty easy and straight forward. Not too many parts. It comes with an Allen wrench and a tool to tighten the bolts, but if you have a socket set and wrench (sorry I don't remember what size) it will make life simpler. The bolts and washers were well packaged and easy to identify.

The previous model of this stand had wheels I believe, but this one doesn't. Not a big deal. If you're lifting weights, you can pick this up and move it if you have to (Without the dumbbells of course). Several reviews mention an issue with the straps that hold down the base of the dumbbells. I did not have this issue, so maybe feedback worked and they fixed it. They snapped right on and I tightened down the bases just fine.

This unit is a great convenience to my back. I no longer need to reach down to the floor to adjust the weight, pick them up and set them back down. Purists may see some value in picking them up off the floor (extra leg work), but I think in the long run it will help with the life of the set as the act of putting them back on the base is a little more gentle than dropping them on the floor. Especially when you have a heavier weight setting. I use the 1090 model dumbbells (10-90 lbs)

Depending on you height you have may have to lift them a bit to get them back on the base. I'm 5'10, and have to lift them a couple inches from my sides to get them on. Not a biggie. The height is not adjustable. In fact nothing is, with the exception of the straps and the rubber feet. You may get an inch if you set them high.

It works perfectly in a corner if you need to maximize space as I did. Overall this was a great purchase and I recommend it for anyone who has this type of weight set.

F O N Feline Neutralizer Refill Quart

I didn't know for sure if this would be a good, sturdy shelving unit. I had looked for some time for one that would fit in the space I had and this one was it. I am glad that I ordered it. It is sturdy and looks very nice. Didn't want one of those "pressed wood and glue" pieces of junk.
The unit was easy to assemble and the pieces fit together well. I tried to put it together by myself but that wasn't working. I would get one part together and then another one would come apart. After trying several times I went and found my husband to help me. (It does say on the instructions to have two people to assemble) Well, hubby likes to get things done efficiently so he went out to the shop and got his cordless drill to put the screws in. This worked great, just be sure to not have the torque set too high. ( no we didn't have it too high and we didn't strip out the screw holes)He also brought in a rubber dead blow hammer to pound the little wooden hole plugs in. We had the shelf together on short order. I would recommend it.

Moneual MR6550 Hybrid Vacuum Cleaner

We have the garage Roomba, so I'm comparing it to that.
The Moneual is quieter, cuter, and just plain fun! It reminds me of our pool robot more than the Roomba, in that it bumps into an obstacle, appears to 'think' about it, and then redirect itself. The feathery flippers look so deep sea creature-ish!
Set-up could not be easier, plug and dock in 5 minutes. Moneual USA has some excellent YouTube videos showing the set-up as well as operation, which really matters to me as it shows the company is committed to supporting those that aren't used to robotic vacs.
It does great with small particles, rice, sand, and similar debris. It did ok on low pile carpet, but it really shines on hardwood floors.
I've only been using it a few weeks, so will update, but for now I couldn't be more pleased.

General Tools 828 Digital Sliding

After reading the online reviews I ordered this sofa with some trepidation - there were some terrible reviews of the condition that it came in! I am happy to say that the sofa arrived without mishap, and it is everything I hoped it would be. It looks high-end, even though the cushions could be cushier, and was in perfect condition. I immediately ordered the matching chair and table, to complete the look. This was the cheapest set I found anywhere, including delivery. The fact that there was absolutely zero assembly required was a big plus.

I was surprised, however, to learn upon delivery that they did not unpack the sofa for me. In fact, it was just out of the kindness of their hearts (and seeing I couldn't possibly move the sofa package myself!) that the delivery people brought it around to the back yard. They told me I needed to have ordered "white glove delivery" in order for it to be delivered wherever I needed it placed, and that would have included taking it out of the box and disposing of the box. I didn't know of this option, but I would definitely do that on any large piece of furniture at this point.

My only other comment is about the coffee table, which looks fine and matches the set, but which is practically useless as a flat surface, since there is nothing under the wicker. Anything you put on the table is going to wobble. Would not recommend the table. Sofa and chair - awesome!

great chair

Strathwood Griffen All Weather Dark Brown

The chair is even better than expected. In fact, we liked it so much that we immediately ordered another one! The chair comes completely assembled and is very comfortable. We have the matching couch on order and it should arrive mid-week; I'll try to write a quick review when it comes in if I remember.

Before we bought this chair, we shopped around town and sat in a number of similar resin-wicker chairs and sectionals. But they were generally much more expensive than this one, and that's before delivery and set-up charges. While some were very plush and comfortable, others almost pushed you forward out of the chair or weren't deep enough. So we were a little nervous about buying this chair without being able to test it out first.

This chair is a good balance between sitting back and sitting up, plus it's deep enough you can sit back with a child on your lap and still be comfortable. What we especially like about this one is that the top of the arms are flat, meaning that you can set a drink, a book, or an iPhone on the arm. It's like having a built-in side table. You can't beat it for the price it looks good too.

Thanks Amazon!

Wonderful cordless and easy to use

Hoover Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

We purchased this vacuum through Amazon three weeks ago. The vacuum is used for our large kitchen (laminate floor), laundry and entry way from our garage (laminate floor), front entry way and three bathrooms all with ceramic tile floors. Based on one of the customer reviews we'd read, we were concerned with the battery life. This has not proven to be a problem at all with us. First, the battery charges to full capacity in just about two hours and not the three we expected. We use the vacuum almost every day and the first charge lasted for a good two weeks. We are now on the second charge. The brush option is seldom used as the vast majority of the vacuuming is on hardwood floors and not rugs. It is our belief that limited brush use has allowed the battery to last longer. We've emptied the cup twice and did not have a problem with getting dirty. If your cleaning needs are similar to what I've explained, I would highly recommend you buy this vacuum. We also like the convenience of being able to charge the battery away from the vacuum and not be limited to where the charging can occur. So, we prefer to place the charging unit on a counter top.
I do agree with others who expressed concern with the price ($180) for this vacuum. However, I'll bet that the battery is the single most expensive part and this alone probably pushes the cost to this level.

really works

One Pass California Water Blade

I purchased the Bissell Spot Clean Pro to clean my microfiber upholstery, and also to clean small spots on the carpet. I have two cats, so I need something to clean up their occasional messes. I found the unit easy to use, and easy to clean after use. It took me a little time to figure out the best way to clean without drenching the area, but once I did I found it did the job well. I have cleaned the upholstery before with a spray bottle and Shop-Vac, but the Spot Clean Pro is much easier to use, and it removed the moisture almost as well as the Shop-Vac.

I read some reviews that said the Spot Clean Pro was noisy. I didn't think it was any louder than my vacuum cleaner so I decided to test it. I have a Radio Shack sound lever meter so I did an unscientific measurement of the decibel levels. All measurements were done at 3' from each machine, one reading taken with the machine sitting on carpet, and the other reading on tile flooring. The Spot Clean Pro measured 82 db on carpet and 95 db on tile. My Eureka MightyMite canister vacuum was 81 on carpet and 90 on tile. My 8-gallon wet/dry Shop-Vac was 90 on carpet and 93 on tile. The Spot Clean Pro is a little louder that my vacuum cleaner, but way more convenient than the noisy, bulky Shop-Vac.

Overall I am very pleased with this machine. I found the 22' power cord and 5' flex hose long enough for me to reach everything easily. The only issue I had was that there is only one fill line marked on the clean water tank, and since I only used half the cleaning solution I had to find a place to store the leftover fluid, or throw it away. It would be nice if Bissell had a half-full mark on the clean water tank so you could mix enough solution for small jobs. Since the clean water tank holds 96 ounces, I measured 48 ounces of water and marked a line on my tank to make it easier next time. Other than this one small issue, I like the machine a lot and would highly recommend it to others.

Howard Feed-N-Wax does the job

Howard FW0016 Feed N Wax Conditioner 16 Ounce

As someone who has been around an extensive amount of furniture his whole life, I try to make sure that I am able to take care of it properly.

There are an extensive number of of waxes/polishes, etc. out there. Most of the popular ones in the media out there feature silicone (cough, Pledge, cough). Also, just as bad, are the "cleaners" out there such as "Murphy's Oil Soap" -- a truly bad idea for a nice finish on furniture.

There are a number of finishes out there -- modern day finishes (ie: polyurethanes) as well as shellacs, etc.

If you want a polish/wax/cleaner that can handle modern-day finishes and just about any antique finish, then Howard's is definitely the way to go! For the record, I'm not a huge fan of the micro-crystalline polishes out there as I think they are too abrasive for some older more fragile finishes.

It features a combination of: carnauba wax (often found in quality waxes, especially in car waxes), beeswax, orange oil, and petroleum distilates (an unfortunately but necessary evil).

It is a thick liquid (like cake batter) that is easily spread/applied across large flat surfaces as well as worked into nooks and crannies.

You apply it....and let it dry (anywhere from 20 mins to hours or even a day) then lightly buff it (this is where the carnauba wax is important!) to a respectable sheen (think somewhere around a satin scene in terms of paint definitions).

It does a good job of hiding minor surface blemishes/scratches, evening out tones/colors, and enhancing the natural wood grain. The talk about it "revitalizing thirsty wood" is mostly bunk, though -- if a finish is mostly intact (polyurethane, shellac, and even milk paint to a degree), it will be fairly protected from moisture getting in/out as well as any "penetrating" substances.

One of the other truly cool things about this polish is that you can revitalize a worn out finish by mixing it with stain (like Minwax) and apply it to a well-loved (or beaten up!) piece.

In short, an excellent product that can revitalize a tired, old finish in a limited manner and provides a long term protective coating to just about any piece of furniture.

5/5!
