Sample share: Zep cleaners

When i first joined the Zep cleaners crew on crowdtap, I had never heard of Zep! I joined the brand looking to learn more. As a mom of four boys, I can use all the cleaning help we can get! We're always trying out new products in an effort to keep up with our kids. I jumped on the chance to sample Zep when they announced the sample share. They sent samples for me to try out, and some to share with friends.

samples of all-around oxy cleaner & degreaser and Quick clean disinfectant

J wanted in on the photo action!

 I use a degreaser at work, and it does amazing things. So, naturally, i grabbed the All-around oxy first. We have laminate floors that you have to constantly mop, or they get really gross pretty quickly. We had a spot that hadn't been touched in a while, and I wanted to see if this cleaner was as magical as it claimed (spoiler alert: it is!). My next project will be seeing if it can help save my carpets, as it's good on all surfaces and includes carpeting instructions on the bottle.

I don't even want to know what needed to be cleaned off that floor!

with zep, it's as good as new!

I have been using the quick clean disinfectant on my counters and stove top, and it is effective and I love that it kills cold and flu viruses (rhinovirus and staph are spelled out on the label) in five seconds. I will be on a hunt in my local stores to find these once my samples run out. They beat the pants off of any cleaner I have stocked on my bathroom shelves!

My new GM loves to clean-what better person to share my samples with?1? And she's so photogenic!! <3

Vaseline intensive care advanced repair

I love trying new products. There's something really cool about trying new things, and getting to spread the word on things you love. My friend Melissa has been a part of influenster for quite some time. I always see her photos of her Vox Boxes and her reviews. I finally decided last month to jump on board. I was pleasantly surprised to get an invite to fill out a survey for my first vox box shortly after joining--and to be selected to receive it. It came in my mail box yesterday.

To be honest, I'm not a huge lotion person. My hands/legs need to be really dry for me to use it (the exception: one of my work girls tells me her lotion smells amazing and I absolutely must try it!). I hate the way most lotion feels-greasy, and seems like it will take forever for my hands to dry with out wiping everything off of them. I was intrigued that the bottom of the label read "non-greasy formula." I was eager to test that aspect out. If I could have nice, smooth hands without the gross greasy feeling, I'm all in! First things first: my vox box came with a "does your dry skin need to be healed" test (pictured above). It was a card with two peelies with black circles on them. You press the circle against your skin for 3 seconds, and it indicates how dry your skin is. I had taken a shower a few hours before testing it out, so I have no clue if that effected how dry my skin was. My results (posted below) were just a tad on the dry side. Somewhere between normal and dry. I then lotioned up. I was very pleased with how soft my hands were immediately. They were not gross, nor greasy. My seven year old walked over while I was trying it out and once he heard me say how soft my hands were, he wanted to try. He kept rubbing his hands together because of how nice they felt! I then took the "after" test circle. It's amazing how different the circles are. Vaseline works! I'm very glad to have tried this product out-it now has a place in my cabinet (now I need to get a fun sized one for my purse!).
