At Homefixated, we try not to bad-mouth products and instead focus our attention on items and ideas that you might actually get some use out of. We’ll be doing that in this post but I will also take a bit of a swipe – without naming names – at something I bought that proved to be an epic piece of fail if there ever was one. Hopefully anyone who has to move and slide heavy furniture around (particularly on surfaces like hardwood floors that you don’t want to scratch) will learn a thing or two. [click to continue…]

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like cats. Of all the creatures in the animal kingdom, I think cats are the top jerks – and, yes, I did consider the raccoon, the hyena and ALF, and cats still won the title.

scratchbgoneYou’ve done it – you’ve completed your kitchen renovation (did you ever think you’d be sick of ordering out? Neither were we, but after a couple weeks, all I wanted to do was sauté some vegetables. Scary.). You treasure your new kitchen, you look at it lovingly … until one day, somebody takes a weird scouring pad to the stainless steel range and whammo – scratches! Once you’re back from burying somebody’s body in the backyard, it’s time to ask the question – can you live with these irritating scratches, staring at you every single day, or is there a way to get rid of them? There have been lots of products on the market, but we think we’ve found one that really truly works and for a price that goes down smoothly. [click to continue…]
