Multiple Uses Not Just for the Dishes

Uhh.. the smell is lovely I mean if you like having something that rinses very fast.  I have it in my bathroom cause I needed extra lather for my cloroxing of the tub.  I like to multi task and the washing powder usually flys all over the place so I used a little dawn.  I also needed to correct my stain fighting front with the economy bottle of carpet cleaner I bought that leaves my carpet feeling funny.  This work to correct whatever issue was missing in the formula.  Also I have a few pets and Im not afraid of the residue when I use Dawn so that always make me feel better about myself when cleaning the pet stuff.

I find these containers useful in many venues.  I like this particular size because it is small enough to be stored in a kitchen cabinet but large enough to stir up a cake mix in.  I can use them to clean food or kitchen utensils.  They can hold a good amount of grains or beans in the pantry. They can hold cherries or leftovers in the refrigerator or crayons in the arts & crafts area.

They are strong and durable, easy to open but stay firmly locked when desired.  Their square footprint make them efficient when used for storage.  Also, the tops can be stored underneath the containers when not in use.

I can, and do, buy other containers for use in the kitchen and around the house.  But I think these Rubbermaid containers are the most versatile of them all.  Plastic can be difficult to clean at times, especially when greasy.  If you cannot put it into the dishwasher and have hard water, as we do in  our part of the country, baking soda added to dish detergent can work wonders.  They'll rinse off squeaky clean and ready for reuse.

We have two sets of these because they are great for so many things. They hold up well and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. We use them while cooking and for serving condiments in. Great buy!

This is a great multi-purpose item for your kitchen.  The red is also great for Christmas. So far I have used it to pull a dish out of the oven, as a trivet for that dish on my walnut table, and to open a jar.  Using the multipurpose tool to open a jar was so much better than a towel.  Having so many used means you don't have to store a lot of items in limited storage space.  This one tool replaces all those other items.  I think this tool is useful to anyone, but especially good for college students or those in their first apartment. I definitely recommend you buy for yourself and as a gift.

These tongs are perfect for many uses, I mainly use it to toss salads and I love the fact that it has the built in stands to keep the counter from getting messy and keep my food sanitary. I think I may have to get these for gifts for friends and family this Christmas!

I bought this to place next to my dish rack to place the hand washed dishware - i.e. stemware on to keep them out of harms way while they dried.

I also have one - a smaller one under my cats water dish to keep the dish from becoming slimy on the underside, as well as make it slightly easier to pick up when I washed it out and replaced the water.

To be honest I can think of at least a couple of other uses for these mats if they were sold in a larger variety of sizes.

Spendy but these hooks are functional for a number of placements.  I put one in each shower above the shower enclosure for hanging a back scrubber.  Nice in the kitchen for hanging keys or anything else of that nature.  I bought several of these, using some for outside on the deck, and some for various places inside the house.  They look good and are small enough for many kinds of uses.

Love these colorful bowls; I have them in the small and medium sizes.  Great for snacks and I also use them for pre-measuring and separating ingredients for cooking and baking.  Also handy for crafting and kids projects.  These bowls are getting daily use in my house and have held up through multiple uses in the microwave.

These are nice dish cloths but I will use them for wash cloths as I think they are perfect for that.  I don't like heavy wash cloths which these aren't so I'm more than happy with them.  They are a decent size and no matter if you use them for dishes or washing yourself they are not too shabby.  The edges are done nicely so they shouldn't shred and while one side is textured the other is not.  The fact that they are white makes them very versatile for whatever you use them for.

Very useful as laundry baskets, toy organizers, storage containers.  They are multi purpose and the sort of thing that most homes will find uses for.

When they arrive they are flat as pancake, but when you allow them to "pop up"  they do so with considerable force.  There is lot of spring power built into these baskets.  I have not tried to fold them up to their original state, but I know from the strength of the pop up that this would not be an easy task.  Once they are full size, I think they are going to stay that way in most homes.

Having 2 is nice and gives you many options.  You can use one for dark clothes and one for white clothes, for example, or you can use on as toy organizer and the other for something else.

They stand upright, are not tippy, and each has a cloth handle for the easy care of light loads.

The fabric is mesh, so there is plenty of air circulation to promote drying and prevent mildew from forming.

At the price at the time this review is written, I consider them a good buy.

Sample provided for testing and review.  The ones sent me are being used as laundry baskets.

works perfectly, just what I needed not only for food but other objects!

I got this set to fill a specific need which had nothing to do with making cupcakes. I was pleasantly surprised at how they have become such multi-taskers in my kitchen. The combination of scoop and silicone edge is genius and I am finding they often work better than regular spatulas when the longer handle is not needed or gets in the way.

The perfect dish towel. Absorbent, washes and dries well, and has many other uses, from cleaning windows to napkins !

This Pyrex cup is great for so many things. I use it to mix up quick breads and brownies, for pancake batter, for handling homemade soups (straining stock, etc.), even as a salad bowl. It's so handy to be able to just grab the handle instead of using two hands, especially when dealing with hot liquids. And I feel that it gets so much cleaner in the dishwasher than plastic would. The glass will chip if you're not careful, but Pyrex is usually pretty tough.
