The Autonomous Hardwood Floor Wet/Dry Mop.  
Similar to the automatic vacuums that we have all heard about, this robotic wet or dry mop navigates autonomously through a room and methodically cleans unsealed hardwood floors.
The robotic cleaner uses widely available dry electrostatic or premoistened cloths that attach to the bottom of the robot and collect dust, dirt, and hair as the device courses linearly through a room or moves back-and-forth in a traditional mopping motion.
Similar to GPS, the included palm-sized terrestrial satellite sets up on a table or countertop and emits a signal that systematically guides the robotic cleaner through the room until it’s covered the entire space.
The Autonomous Hardwood Floor Wet/Dry Mop comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return it for exchange, credit, or refund.
On-board sensors ensure the device avoids furniture, area rugs, and stairs and its rectangular cleaning head reaches into corners, along baseboards, and under furniture to thoroughly clean hard-to-reach areas.
The device cleans for up to three hours and covers up to 1,000′ sq. as a dry sweeper; two hours and 250′ sq. as a wet mop.
Recharges via AC adapter (included) in 12 hours.
Satellite uses two C batteries (included).
Includes three machine washable cloths.

But make sure that they are Eco-Friendly and good for our environment! Enviro-Logs work in ANY wood burning appliance.
Because of the unique differences that Enviro-Log Logs have from the traditional wax-sawdust firelogs, many people like to buy Enviro-Logs rather than other manufactured firelogs.
Being made of 100% recycled materials, Enviro-Log Firelogs are an excellent log solution for people looking for Natural and / or Organic lifestyles.
Together, we can all protect the environment for future generations by reducing our demand on landfills.
Some key findings of OMNI’s testing of Enviro-Log firelogs include:
- The latest Enviro-Log firelog formula was found to be substantially improved over its original wax box firelog formula in terms of air emissions when following the manufacturer’s recommended lighting instructions.
- Enviro-Log firelogs were found to have 87 percent less total particulate matter (PM) emissions, on a grams pollutant per hour of stove operation basis, than firewood in an EPA certified non-catalytic woodstove.
- Enviro-Log firelogs have been tested for safety in fireplaces and wood heaters per portions of American National Standard Institute (ANSI)/ Underwriters Laboratories (UL®), and Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC®) standards.
- Enviro-Log firelogs have 70-80 percent less total particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide emissions (on a grams pollutant per event basis) than cordwood (oak or fir) burned in manufactured fireplaces and EPA certified woodstoves.
- Enviro-Log firelogs produce up to 33 percent less greenhouse gases than typical cordwood (oak or fir).
- Enviro-Log firelogs produce 87 percent less creosote in a fireplace than oak cordwood (grams per typical fire basis).
- Enviro-Log firelogs have more than 50 percent energy content per pound and lower moisture content than typical cordwood (oak or fir).
Enviro-Log Firelogs are made from recycled waxed cardboard boxes that are used to transport food. Everything about these boxes is Food Grade. The wax that covers them is the highest grade wax available so that it is safe for fresh food to be packed in them. There are no additional petroleum products or binders in the firelogs.

 It’s that time of year across the United States – Halloween “emotionally” marks the beginning of winter months and time to clean up the leaves and finish up fall outdoor chores.
We found a useful and interesting product that can help make your cleanup easier.
The incredible Pop-Up Tidy Garden Bag compresses down to about 2 inches thick, but springs open to a fully self-supporting, stand-up bag. Made of a heavy duty water-resistant canvas material, the Pop-up Tidy Garden Bag can handle yard clippings, twigs, and leaves outdoors, but easily compresses down like an accordion for easy, out of the way storage.
Works great to store toys or as a laundry bag, too. When not in use, fold it down and store it under a couch, bed or in a closet. Big strong handles, including one on the lower side make it easy to carry, handle and dump!
Collect grass cuttings, weeds and other garden waste with this large great value, multi-purpose, pop-up Garden Tidy Bag.
Excellent yard item!

As the cooler air starts to move into many areas of the United States, it’s time to check your furnace filter before it’s too late.
A furnace filter is a removable filter that fits in the furnace unit between the location of air intake and the motor, fan, and heating coil. The furnace filter i sdesigned to protect the motor and internal components from airborne particles and dust that may damage the furnace. Manufacturers use a standard fiberglass furnace filter in most cases. A furnace filter can serve other purposes, too.
In addition to protecting the motor from dust and particles that may otherwise pass through it, a furnace filter can improve the airflow and efficiency of the furnace.
Without a furnace filter, the system would become clogged with dust, causing the motor to work harder until it eventually overheated and quit working.
Generally speaking, this is the sole purpose of the standard fiberglass furnace filter.
These filters are inexpensive and require replacement at least every three months to work efficiently.
Most furnace filters are disposable, though some are designed to be washed and reused. When selecting a furnace filter for your home, you first need to know the size of filter your furnace takes.
Mid-summer task list will get your appliances in tip top shape as you prepare for the busy fall season.
- Improve refrigerator efficiency. Clean refrigerator condenser coils with a condenser cleaning brush and your vacuum cleaner to clear dust and lint off the coils underneath (or behind) your self-defrosting refrigerator. We recommend using a condenser cleaning brush to make this job easier.
- Keep your garbage disposer smelling fresh and running smoothly. Clean and deodorize it with a special garbage disposer cleaning agent.
- Help keep your dryer free of lint; prevent dryer lint fires and reduce drying time for your clothes. Clear your dryer exhaust vent with a dryer vent brush — a flexible brush that can reach around corners and dislodge lint trapped in the vent.
- Prevent washing machine floods. Inspect the water fill hoses to your washing machine and replace them if you see blisters, cracks, or if the hoses are more than five years old. Consider upgrading to hoses with metal sheathing; they are much less likely to burst.
- Keep water and ice cubes tasting fresh and clean. Change your refrigerator or ice maker water filters.
- Clean the lime, scale and soap scum buildup inside your dishwasher using a special detergent that also removes discoloration due to iron and other water impurities.
 For some people, a humidifier is an absolute necessity. With the cost of humidifier replacement filters, it can become an expensive ordeal.
Indoor heating tends to lower the humidity that people need in order to be comfortable, especially when they sleep. This is especially aggravating if you or someone in your home has allergies.
Low humidity can cause your skin to dry out as well as the mucous membranes in your nose – causing nose bleeds for some people. To stay healthy, many doctors remommend a humidifier to keep the level of humidity in the air at a certain level. Humidifiers can definitely make sleeping a lot more tolerable.
One of our favorite whole-house humidifiers is the Essick Air Credenza. Find the lowest online price for the Essick Air Credenza Humidifier by clicking here. It has a beautiful cherry cabinet and looks like a piece of furniture or display stand in your home.
Pictured to the right is a cute pig styled humidifier to use in a child’s room. Safe and adorable, this is a perfect baby shower gift too!
There is nothing worse than having to clean an overflowing pot of spaghetti that has splattered on the walls behind your range and seaped into the crevice between the wall and the range. That is why most ranges come equip with a backguard.
If your range was not installed with a backguard, you can still purchase a backguard and install on your range. Here are a number of backguard’s available on the market today:
Installing a range backguard is actually fairly simple and manufacturers give explicit directions that are easy to follow.
Another option, but more expensive than a backguard is to install mosaic tiles along the wall behind your range. Creating a beautiful and original design can save your walls and create a conversation piece in your kitchen.
A backguard is a necessity when you have children or teens using the range and can actually add beauty to your kitchen.
If your icemaker is not getting water, it is most likely your icemaker’s water inlet valve
The first thing you should know is that Kenmore ice makers are made by Whirlpool, which supplies ice makers for most refrigerator companies. So when looking for a water inlet valve for a Kenmore – note that many of them are labeled Whirlpool.
The water inlet valve is the controlling device that allows water to enter the ice maker.
It is energized during the last 5-8 seconds of the harvest cycle. (the harvest cycle is the dispensing cycle) During this 5 to 8 second period, there should be 110v across the two wires connected to the valve .
If there is power supplied to the valve and the valve does not open to allow water to flow, the valve is defective.
However, if power is being supplied to the valve and water will flow through it freely, it could be that the water supply line or inlet tube have frozen solid. These lines can be thawed with warm water or a hair dryer.
