As the season turns to Fall, it's time to "dress" things up, including your doorway. Carpet One Floor & Home has beautifully designed 2’x3’ rubber-backed washable "welcome mats" that will look great in-front any home.

In October, Carpet One Floor & Home will debut five new globally inspired micro collections to their website.

African Collection

Note: I received product sample for review purpose. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

Bold graphic patterns, exotic animal prints and vibrant colors make this collection ideal for the individual who wants to take their style for a walk on the wild side. Inspired by safari sightings and African cultures, these mats are perfect for world explorers in any neighborhood.

Asian Collection

From the calming images of lush bamboo and water to ancient symbols of happiness and good fortune, this collection is bound to bring a bit of Zen to your doorstep and positive energy to your décor.

British Collection

For those who look to the future but respect the past, our British collection mats evoke the warmth and welcome of a comforting cup of tea by a peat fire. The plaid pattern evokes the serenity of an English cottage garden as seen when peeking through lace cloth curtains, giving just the right amount of proper and whimsy to any entryway.

Mediterranean Collection

An indigo blue sky, citrus yellow lemon groves, and olive leaves – a range of warm and inviting images from the beautiful Mediterranean region. This collection brings the perfect island summer day right to your doorstep. These mats will have you dreaming of days in the sun and relaxed summer evenings.

Scandinavian Collection

Simple, stylish, and modern, our Scandinavian collection will add an element of warmth and well-being to your home, starting right at your doorstep. The inspiration draws on the Danish concept of “hygge “– a trend toward coziness and comfort – effectively reminding us that simple joys are often the most important.

These collections will be available all-year (hint: holiday hostess gift), and with each purchase 25% of each $29.99 mat, will go to support the leading breast cancer research organization – Breast Cancer Research Fund (bcrf.org).

Leave it to last minute plans to host family and friends for the Fourth of July to motivate you to do a bit of overdue house cleaning! As an always on the go household of two kids, two parents and two dogs in a tiny New York apartment, what we couldn't get done in a few weeks we managed to tackle in less than 48 hours with the help of Hero Products.


Note: I received product sample for review purpose. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

With the HERO CLEAN line of household products including laundry pouches, hand and dish soap, odor eliminators, and all purpose cleaners not only is my house clean and smelling manly fresh, but there is no disputing who cleaned the house.

Nothing better than your special lady coming home and smelling her HERO!!



The first on my list to tackle was the mounds of laundry, which seems to grow to no end. With two active boys: one who's just starting puberty and one with sweaty toes, those underarm areas and stinky socks needed lots of love and the Hero Clean single dose Laundry detergent pacs did the trick.

This 5 in 1 Detergent is formulated for stains, odors, whitening, color brightening and fabric longevity. It's great for everyday use and for families who sweat it out on the field and in the gym. The odor defeater technology targets male sweat odor and scent without being overbearing for women. My wife really loved the smell.


While the clothes got their deep cleaning, it was time to tackle the pots and pans. As a professional line cook the family expects me to throw down in the kitchen and on the grill but with all that good cooking, comes a pile up of dishes.

The Hero Clean and dish hand soap worked great since food gets bonded to cookware so easily. As instructed I added three pumps of soap into the sink of hot water and let the dishes soak. With the no scrub technology, the grime loosened up and could be removed without a lot of elbow grease.


Of course after just mopping one of the boys spills juice all on the bedroom floor and our puppy had an accident in the hallway. With just a few sprays of the Hero Clean All- purpose cleaner, both messes were wiped up and the area looked good as new. An FYI, it can also be used in any room of the home and the garage.

For a final touch before our guests arrived, we sprayed the rooms and areas in the living room (where our fox terrier and bully sleep) with the Hero Clean Odor Eliminator, which has the Probiotic Bacteria Fighter that fights odor causing bacteria at the source on clothing, sheets, autos, furniture, carpeting and pet zones.

As you can see, we really found many uses for The Hero Clean Kit, which costs only $25 online and is worth every dollar! Plus a portion of all proceeds are donated to Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and the products are made right here in the USA.

Hero Clean products are available at Target, select Ace Hardware Stores, Wegman’s, Jet.com, Amazon.com and other participating retailers.

Is your house safe? In honor of Poison Prevention Week (March 20 – 26th) it’s a good idea to take a step back and make sure cabinets are child proofed and all potential hazardous items are out of harm’s way.


According to a Safe Kids report, a child goes to the emergency room for accidental medicine poisoning every eight minutes! In 2013, Poison centers across the country received 2.2 million calls (AAPCC).


Need a little help to get started? Safety 1st’s has shared these 5 Tips for Keeping kids out of harm’s way


Hazards in the Kitchen:

Cabinets and drawers contain many hazards, such as cleaning supplies, plastic bags, breakable and sharp objects can be a choking hazard. Be sure to lock all cabinets and drawers to keep your child away from the contents. The OutSmart Slide Lock, Flex Lock, and Multi-Use Lock are great options for keeping little ones out of cabinets and drawers they shouldn’t be in.

If possible, try and move all cleaning supplies, including dishwasher detergent, to a locked closet or a cabinet that is up high and out of your child's reach.

What to look for in the bathroom:

Keep cabinets and drawers locked to prevent children from accessing medications, toothpaste, perfumes, lotions, deodorant, mouthwash, even dipper rash cream etc - all of which can be dangerous if ingested. In the tub, keep soaps and shampoos out of your child's reach.

Invest in a toilet lock. Children can drown in one inch of water. It’s also a good idea to keep doors to bathrooms closed.

Beyond the medicine cabinet:

Make sure you safely dispose of any unneeded or expired medications. Medicine often looks like candy and it only take a second for a child to pop it in his or her mouth. In 67 percent of emergency room visits for medicine poisoning, the medicine was left within reach of the child, such as in a purse, on a counter, or under a sofa cushion (Safe Kids).

Other areas of concern:

Exploring is great but some adventures should not be taken without the supervision of a parent. The OutSmart Knob Covers help keep on-foot explorers from wandering into unwanted areas, such as the laundry room. If there is not a door for the laundry room make sure you have a gate up. Children have been known to climb in front loader washers and dryers and get stuck inside.

Need help?

Save the toll-free Poison Help line number on your phone or put it on the refrigerator: 1-800-222-1222. The Poison Help line is not just for emergencies, you can call with questions about how to take or give medicine, concerns about plants, chemicals, carbon monoxide, bites, stings and more.



The new Safety 1st OutSmart home safety line was developed to help prevent your child from getting into something they shouldn’t!

OutSmart products feature a non-functional “decoy” button that is designed to redirect your child’s attention from trying to get into the cabinet or opening a door. The actual activation buttons are hidden under a smooth surface that requires a two-finger squeeze-to-open.

Purggo LLC is a Seattle based company who specializes in all-natural and toxin-free air eco-purifiers made with bamboo charcoal. Purggo mission is to help people breathe healthy and live happy and have launched their newest product to help do that!



PURGGO's Bamboo Charcoal Car Air Eco-Purifier (MSRP $29.99) is a German-engineered, patent-pending, and beautifully designed car air eco-purifier made with 100% all natural bamboo charcoal.

Features include

• It is 100% asthma and allergy friendly.
• It adsorbs and eliminates odor instead of just masking it.
• It is fragrance- and allergen-free, and it is all-natural and non-toxic.

Most common car air fresheners, in addition to being ineffective, don’t last more than 45 days when you'll need to purchase refills. Then the common car air fresheners fumes either dull your senses to give you the illusion of freshness, or try to cover up the existing smell with an overpowering scent.


Purggo adsorbs and eliminates the odor, rather than masking it., works 24/7 passively, and lasts more than 365 days. It’s the world’s longest lasting car air freshener.

All you need to do is to put Purggo under the sun for an hour every month or two. The sunlight will recharge the bamboo charcoal inside by removing excess moisture, and restore its air purifying property.
