New unique home disinfecting cleaning product, Lasting [Review]

Pin It

     As you all know, there are many many new As Seen on TV Products that come out all the time, and in all honesty many of them are just duplicates, re released versions of older products, or just slight improvements on previous designs. Its not all that often that truly new products are released for consumers. That being said, we truly feel that Lasting, is one of those few products that stands alone as both unique and truly useful around the house.

     In today’s day in age, we are constantly battling the unseen threats of bacteria, microbes, fungus and other unwanted nasties in our homes, offices, cars, and pretty much everywhere we spend time. Their are a myriad of products designed to wipe our homes clean of these microscopic hazards, but they all work the same: use product, kill germs, repeat. Its a never ending struggle that will have your cleaning and re cleaning your home daily. There has to be a better way right?!

     Lasting is a new antimicrobial and disinfecting spray on product that not only kills germs on contact but protects surfaces for up to a month. Its different than so many products because instead of needing to be reapplied daily to your surfaces Lasting physically creates a barrier that kills microbes on contact and refuses to let any new growth happen. It is truly a fire-and-forget home cleaning product meaning once you use it, you can rest assured that your surfaces will remain cleansed and germ free. The ingredient which sets Lasting apart is called MST, and it is said to have been used in hospitals for years. Well we are excited that it is finally being offered as an at home cleaning product

     Another great thing about this product is its versatility in use. It is not only a surface cleaner and disinfectant but it works on fabrics, carpeting and upholstery as well. Its eliminates mold and mildew in damp clothing, sports equipment and towels. The product sanitize your carpeting for those of you with kids who spend a lot of time down there. In addition it keeps everything smelling fresh and clean between product applications.We wentalittle bit crazy spraying down our whole office too, so the extra bottle that comes free with it definitely came in handy.

     Now we are not scientists here, but if this product does even half of what it claims to, it will be a definite step ahead in the home cleaning and sanitizing field of products. We have already began using it around our office and even though the effectiveness of these products are hard to accurately judge outside of a controlled lab, the peace of mind factor is definitely a big one with this product. Just knowing that your surfaces have an ongoing layer of protection is very reassuring and it made our office smell a little fresher too.

We stand behind this product and would love to hear your thoughts and experiences, so let us know on here our blog or review Lasting here on our site!

Pajama Jeans: Lounge Pants or Real Pants?

Pajama JeansOne of the newest products to hit the As Seen on TV scene is Pajama Jeans. There has been a lot of buzz about the Pajama Jeans because they are pajama bottom fabric pants that look like they are a pair of jeans. Most people would ague that it would be silly to wear these on a regular basis, which we are inclined to agree with. However, what about those days when you are feeling sick and want to go out and get your mail, or run to the grocery store? We brainstormed some ideas for when the Pajama Jeans would be most appropriate, when you need comfort, but want to look like you are wearing more than sweats.

  • Getting your mail or going out to the store on a sick/casual day
  • Getting anything done at a hospital when metal may not be allowed in pants, etc.
  • Flying on a plane
  • Running around in a hotel
  • Walking around the park with the kids or the dog
  • Finals week at school
  • Running around your dorm room at school
  • Under your Snuggie during your Snuggie Pub Crawl

Can you offer some other good ideas for when to wear Pajama Jeans?
