Archive for the 'Cleaner home' Category

EcoSmartPlastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are among the most versatile products I’ve ever used!  Not only do these products do everything they’re supposed to do; they do much more!  It seems as if every week I discover more things these products can do, and do WELL!

How many trash bags have you ever bought that will not only be receptables for your garbage and trash but will also keep insects and animals away from your garbage and trash?  Or be made of 100% recyclable, biodegradable, natural ingredients?  Or keep your winter woolens safe from moths?  Or keep the deer and bugs away from your garden?

How many outdoor tablecloths have you ever bought that will also keep the mosquitoes and gnats away from your picnic?

How many such products have you used in the past that caused you to worry and hesitate to use in or near a child or a child’s room for fear of poison, since small children chew on pretty much everything?  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, you won’t have these worries.  100% natural, harmless ingredients.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem products don’t even harm the insects and animals it repels; they just, well, REPEL them.

Even the thickest, finest, and most expensive trash bags can not be set outside the night BEFORE the trash truck comes; dogs can smell that feast from miles around.  However, with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products, you CAN set your trash outside on the curb the night before because animals simply can not detect the presence of even the stinkiest garbage if it’s inside a sealed Repellem bag.  How nice not to have to rise at dawn to run after the garbage truck with your bags of trash!!

There are more uses than these for Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products; check this blog each month for updates!  In the meantime, check our archives for all kinds of ways these products can be used.

Many of us have resolved to have a cleaner and greener 2010, and one way to begin is to use EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!

So many household products these days are made of chemicals created in test tubes in laboratories, and we have to be careful to guard our children and our pets from contact with them.  Not so with EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!!!

EcoSmarPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products are made of 100% natural ingredients, each ingredient absolutely harmless to all living things.  (Repellem REPELS, it doesn’t kill!)  Your small children are completely safe in a home that uses EcoSmartPlastics Repellem products.  Not only will your home be free of insects; you will not have to worry about babies or toddlers being harmed by contact with dangerous products!  The ingredients in EcoSmart and Repellem are SAFE!!!!

You won’t have to worry about your pets getting into the garbage, either.  With Repellem trash bags, your dogs and cats won’t even know you’ve GOT garbage!  And when you set your full trash bags outdoors, possums and raccoons won’t be able to sense them, either.

Let’s all begin 2010 with a cleaner, greener, SAFER home!

This is the first day of the New Year, which means many of us had or went to a party tonight.  It also means many of us are taking down a Christmas tree today.

After the parties:  Dump all the garbage and trash in a big Repellem trash bag and toss it outside until later.  You don’t have to worry about animals getting into it and scattering it; Ecosmartplastics Repellem products live up to their name: they really do REPEL animals and insects.For the Christmas tree:  If you did like many people and used an extra-large Repellem bag under your tree skirt, disposing of your tree will be a cinch!  Just take off all the ornaments and trim, pull off the skirt, and draw the Repellem bag up around the tree, keeping the needles INSIDE the bag.  No mess, no fuss, and the Repellem bag is strong enough to deal with a tree inside it!  Pick up your tree, arms around the Repellem bag, and toss it outside.  Messy job, finished in minutes with NO mess!

Sleep in this morning, and don’t worry about your garbage bags sitting outside: if you used Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags, nothing will touch them.  And aren’t you glad it was so easy to get your tree out of the living room, with no mess?

EcoSmart’s Repellem products have so many uses; it boggles the mind!

Why not make using only eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable, 100% natural Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-smartbag products one of your resolutions for 2010!

In my “neck of the woods,” there has been no trash pickup at all these past few days.  That means, ALL of the trash and garbage of Christmas has been sitting in bags, waiting.

People who use regular trash bags don’t DARE put the trash outside until the very last minute before pickup because of the dogs, raccoons, possums, and other animals who seem to lie in wait for such opportunities to scatter and feast.

People who use Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags can set the trash outside any time they need to, because the 100% natural ingredients in all Repellem products do exactly what the name says:  they REPEL.  Nothing will bother your Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags except a really high wind!

My family’s trash of the past three days is sitting outside on the deck as I type.  It will be removed tomorrow afternoon, but I don’t have to worry about it being torn and scattered at ALL, because I use Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags.

I gave my mother some Repellem bags, too, so she is now the only person  on her block who doesn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow, to beat the city garbage truck!  She can set her trash out tonight, and she doesn’t have to worry about the neighborhood dogs savaging it.  The dogs can’t even see or smell anything inside a Repellem bag!

With a real evergreen tree, there will be real insects; it’s just a fact.  Bring that real tree into your house, and the insects will come with it.

One of the best ways to get those bugs off your tree is to use Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem!  Get a Repellem trash bag or tablecloth and cut it into ribbon lengths.  At intervals, all over the tree, tie a festive red Christmas bow and let the streamers hang down.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone!  Your Christmas tree will be a work of art, and you won’t EVER have to worry about insects crawling or flying out of the tree onto a child, or into someone’s food.

The Repellem ribbons will also guarantee that your other pets will not bother your Christmas tree.  Got a cat?  A dog?  You won’t have to worry about leaving your pets alone with your decorated Christmas tree if your tree has been decorated with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem!

With a piece of Repellem under the tree skirt and Repellem ribbons festooning the tree itself, your home will be all set for a clean, safe, green, insect-free holiday season!  The Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem effects will last all through the season; you won’t need to change the ribbons or underskirt at all!

I post a picture of my Christmas tree here, every year.  That’s because it’s an EcosmartPlastics Repellem tree!

This is my Christmas tree, in my living room.  It’s covered with all kinds of ornaments, swinging to and fro, playing music, and offering temptation to my two cats like you would not BELIEVE.

This is our third Christmas with the cats. Last year was the first year we DIDN’T have problems with cats and a Christmas tree - two years ago, we had so much trouble with the cats climbing on the tree, batting things off the tree, and generally making the tree their own, that we almost gave up and took it down.

Last year, however, was the first year I put a Repellem tablecloth under the tree skirt.  You can’t really see it this year, except for a little bit in the front, but underneath that tree skirt is a full-size EcoSmartPlastics Repellem tablecloth.

Two years ago, the cats went berserk over the tree and almost took it down.  Last year, we put a Repellem tablecloth under the skirt and when the tree was up and the cats came back inside,  they took one look and made a mad run for the tree.

When they got close to it, they stopped short, sniffed, turned around, and walked calmly away. They never went near the Christmas tree all the rest of the season.

This year, it’s as if there were no tree at all in the living room.  The cats pay it no heed whatsoever.

I know why, too.

It’s the Repellem under the skirt.  It will keep your cats, and your dogs, and all insects away from your Christmas tree.  Just replace the Repellem approximately every three weeks.  You’ll be able to go to work knowing your tree will still be standing when you get home.

I highly recommend this little trick for YOUR Christmas tree.  As I said above, your cats won’t bother it, and neither will your dogs.  If you have a real tree, you won’t get any bugs on or in it, either.  If you are Chevy Chase, you won’t have to worry about squirrels.

There are all kinds of holiday uses for Repellem products.  Just be careful not to let any kind of candle or flame get near Repellem.  Plastic melts, you know.

I’m so happy with Repellem under my Christmas tree!  And when Mama’s happy, everybody’s happy.

Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products do so many things; they’re some of the most VERSATILE products I’ve ever used, in fact.

When I use any Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag product, I’m doing far more than just keeping my home cleaner, greener, and almost entirely insect and rodent-free; I’m also helping to save the planet!  Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are 100% recyclable, and made of 100% natural ingredients, too!  Repellem repels most insects and rodents without using poisons, or anything dangerous; you can use Repellem products even in close contact with young children!  The only thing to watch for, naturally, is that your child does not play with ANY plastic product because of the danger of suffocation.  With Repellem, however, there is NO danger of poisoning!

But, what has Repellem done for me lately?  Plenty!  It’s ladybug beetle season in Indiana.

My neighbors’ windows are covered with ladybug beetles this time of year, but mine aren’t.  Did I have my windows sprayed, or treated with expensive repellant?  Nope.

I just tucked a little piece of Repellem in the bottom corner of the window, and VOILA!  No ladybugs!

Early spring and late fall, the ladybug beetles show up in droves, and cover any warm slick surface they can find.  In most homes, the beetles are all over the place!  But not MY home.  Repell-em keeps my home safe from insects, and ladybug beetles are only a little part of that.  I have two cats, but no fleas or ticks.  As I type, my kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes, but there are no gnats.  There won’t be any mice, either.

Repell-em keeps my home safe from “intruders” like these, and Repell-em will keep YOUR home safe, too.

Yes, I know I need to wash my windows.  I’ll get around to it.

Cooler weather drives bugs indoors, right where we LEAST want them!

However, if you line your closet shelves with EcoSmart Repellem, you won’t have a thing to worry about.  EcoSmart Repellem products REPEL insects and unwanted animals; in other words, those bugs are scared off and will never come back as long as there’s a piece of Ecosmart Repellem on the premisis.

It just takes a few EcoSmart Repellem trashbags or tablecloths.  Simply cover your closet shelf with the Repellem, and tape it down.  Now you can put all those purses and shoes back on it - they’re safe now, too!

EcoSmart Repellem products are made of 100% safe, harmless materials; our products are also completely recyclable.  They do not rely on chemicals in any form: not even sprays.

Wouldn’t it be sensible if we all put some EcoSmart Repellem in our closets?  I keep Repellem in my closet all year, in fact, but it wouldn’t hurt to put in a fresh sheet.

It’s autumn, and that’s spider time!  Those creepy and sometimes dangerous little - or big! - spiders are invading our homes and setting up camp in our shoes!

Be careful, in fact, when you get out your cold-weather shoes, for brown recluse spiders love to live in the toes of our boots.  A bite from a brown recluse is nothing to take lightly, either; they can even be fatal!

How do we get rid of spiders without spraying harmful chemicals?  Easy!  Just cut a few Ecosmart Repellem trash bags or tablecloths up, and arrange the pieces in, among, and around your shoes in your closet. Throw a piece of Repellem over your closet bar, too.  In fact, put your summer clothes in a Repellem bag before storing them away, and you’ll be really glad next spring when you get them out again.

The point is, EcoSmart Repellem products live up to their name:  They REPEL almost all bugs and things that look like bugs, and this means your home will be cleaner and safer for you and for your children.  Remember, if your child or infant is bitten by a spider, the results can be much worse than if an adult is bitten.  Use Ecosmart Repellem products around your house, and NOBODY will be bitten because all the bugs will be driven away.  When you think of Repellem, think “Pied Piper of Hamelin,” for Repellem is just as good at getting rid of unwanted “livestock” as the legendary Piper was!

Repellem is easy to purchase, too.  Order from our website, or find them at many stores as well.  CVS now carries Repellem products, as do Cabela’s, Vitamin Shoppe, and many others.

Especially if there are small children living in your home, Ecosmart Repellem is a wonderful way to keep your house clean, safe, and green.  Repellem products are absolutely harmless to humans, even tiny humans, and not only that; they’re also 100% biodegradable, and made of 100% natural products.

Best of all:  no bugs in your house!  They’ll keep the mice away, too!
