Carbona Ceramic Cooktop Power Cleaner – Demo Video

Ceramic cooktops look beautiful when they’re clean. Unfortunately, that’s often a rare event in most busy households, because they are also notoriously difficult to clean. Splatters and spills burn quickly and it often feels as though the stovetop requires Herculean strength to scrub.

Carbona Ceramic Cooktop Power Cleaner was designed to make cleaning burnt-on food easy. This stovetop cleaner is a paste, not a liquid and contains micro pearls, so the stove will be easier to clean in the future. (Liquid cooktop cleaners are difficult to use and can create an even bigger mess.) It even includes a dual-sided sponge to help easily wipe away messes.  Sound good? Watch it in action!

See Carbona Color & Dirt Grabber in Action! – Demo Video

Everyone separates whites from colors. But do you really have time to separate the colors into stacks of light blue/green, orange/red, grey/black? Of course not. Who does? But that means thousands of stray color and dirt molecules can become attached to your clothes, leaving bright garments looking dull.

With Carbona’s Color & Dirt Grabber cloths, clothes will last longer and retain their brightness and vibrancy. You can avoid color bleed accidents entirely. Color & Dirt Grabber cloths catch loose dye in the wash and lock them onto the cloth, not your clothes. Just imagine all of the color run accidents that you can avoid by using color grabbing cloths when teaching your kids (or spouse!) how to properly do laundry.

The above video shows just how Color & Dirt Grabber cloths work. Simply throw a color & dirt sheet in the wash and it collects all of the stray dirt and dye which would otherwise transfer onto other garments. The evidence is on the cloth!

Washing clothes in small, color-separated batches takes much longer than washing larger loads. Washing mixed loads with Color & Dirt Grabbers can save time, water and energy. Plus, you could potentially save hundreds of dollars in ruined clothing. Color & Dirt Grabber separates lights and darks so you don’t have to! Wash mixed colors with confidence.

Carbona Color & Dirt Grabber cloths come various sizes. You can purchase 12- and 30-count disposable packages as well as a reusable cloth that is good for up to 30 washes.

I should be a product tester because…

The best part of being a member of your StainTalk team is giving away freebies. We’re seeking product testers so people who need laundry solutions the most have a new opportunity.

We appreciate everyone’s willingness to be open and direct with us. We’ve heard from moms expecting triplets, a poor father whose daughter likes red clothes (so he’s had to get used to pink undergarments), wives of mechanics, owners of wildlife sanctuaries and more.

Here’s a brief sample of some our favorite responses so far.

I would be a GREAT tester because I have a daughter that likes RED and a husband who likes WHITE not pink clothes.

I have 4 children ages 16 to 21. Five, if you count my husband. I do at least 3 loads of laundry everyday.

I have a teenager who doesn’t quite get how to wash clothes and once in awhile husband tries too.

I’m a baker and am always covered in things like chocolate icing.

I have a husband who does not like to separate clothes. When our daughter was little we ended up with a whole load of blue laundry.

I have 3 young kids, 2 boys and a girl. They are always getting into the dirt and “sorting” their own laundry. So many times I don’t have enough time to re-sort to get the whites out of the darks.

I have been doing laundry for over 50 years

When my children come home from college, they bring all of their duty laundry. I can do up to three loads of laundry per day.

I, and my mother before me, have been avid Carbona consumers for a thousand years.

I like your products because they work and don’t cost me an arm and a leg. I’m not afraid to try new products if they are yours.

I do 11+ loads of laundry weekly so I KNOW laundry. I like having a say about the products that I use.

I’m honest, direct and retired. Have plenty of time to test products and comment on them.

I am a laundry connoisseur!

As a future mother of triplets, wife of a clumsy doctor, and handler of 4 dogs, i think i would be a great choice for being a product tester.

My husband works for the sewer department. He comes home with stains and spots that most people never see.
