Home It Cordless Fabric Shaver Review

I received this product at a discount for an honest review; however, all opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links. If this item is purchased, I may receive compensation. Funds will be used to sustain Mother 2 Mother Blog.

I received the Home It Shaver, and with anticipation I opened the box. I was pleased with the packaging. It was nice to not have to retrieve scissors or a machete to open the box or remove the shaver from the packaging. When you have items that are nailed down so tightly that you have to spend an hour getting it out the box, you become frustrated. That may be an exaggeration, but you get my drift.

You will need a C battery. It does come with a power cord if you don’t keep batteries on hand and a small cleaning brush. When you have children around, keeping batteries on hand is important. I pulled a battery out of the junk drawer and inserted it into the shaver. Let the work begin.

My favorite sofa has a tendency to pill, so I decided to remove the fuzz from my cushions. I love using the shaver without the cord. It makes cleaning so much easier.

I purchased a shaver previously, and I like this one much better. The large tray catches more lint and fuzz, which is great. It allowed me to complete the job without stopping to empty the tray. Also, I love the longer handle on this shaver. As a result, moving the shaver back and forth is much easier. It’s important to be able to get a good grip. The shaver does an excellent job removing the fuzz. The fabric looks as good as new.

Finally, I highly recommend this item. It’s a quality product at a good price, and it does an excellent job. I glad that I was able to give a positive review for the Home-it fabric shaver . Head over and purchase yours today.

How To Clean Brass

I found these brass lamps at one of my flea market/junk excursions. I loved the shape and they had the original globes, which I thought was pretty cool. The price was $4.00 for both. I scooped them up without any thought as to how I would use them. Finding junk and repurposing it is one of my great loves. My initial thought was to spray paint them white, but the more I looked at them the more I wanted to keep them as original as possible.

They needed a good cleaning. I didn’t have any brass cleaner on hand so I resorted to an old remedy, ketchup. Yes I said ketchup. I gathered the following items:

1. newspaper
2. old tooth brush
3. Ketchup
4. soft cloth

I brushed a light covering of ketchup over the lamps and allowed them to sit for an hour while I did some other cleaning. After an hour, I brushed the lamps with the toothbrush to loosen any dirt and than washed them off with warm soapy water. I allowed them to dry and than polished them with a soft cloth.

I was pleased with the end result. Now I need to figure out how I’m going to use them. Stay tuned for that project. Have you used ketchup to clean brass or brass plated items your home?
