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!

After 40 years, still the best

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.

A good buy

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.
