Last week I found this fabulous book in our library at school that was a compilation of Easter stories called Hop To It!: A Scholastic Treasury of Easter Tales
“Look Mrs. Z.!!!!" It’s a pimp in a can!!!!”
Well. Indeed it is.
I’m sure you can imagine the giggles when I read my first graders The Tale of Peter Rabbit and it mentioned the hoe in Mr. McGregor’s garden.
This big coffee table is the heart and soul of our living room.
Everything happens at this table when we are in this room. It holds our laptops, books, drinks, snacks, and my son has claimed it for Lego building on almost a daily basis. We’ve had this table for almost 10 years and it’s had its fair share of knicks, bumps, and scratches.
I dust this table weekly and use an oil-based furniture cleaner on it. However, I was recently given the opportunity to try out Guardsman Purifying Wood Cleaner.
Product Specs:
Purifying Wood Cleaner – The perfect furniture facial – a cleanser that quickly cuts through grime, oily films and food and beverage residues, leaving a streak-free clean with no dust attracting residue. Retail price: $5.49-$6.99.
Our Results:
Do you see this dirt??! I promise you, I dust on a weekly basis, but this is what the Guardsman Purifying Wood Cleaner took up from our coffee table. I’m in shock. You think just because you dust that you’re really getting your furniture clean, but apparently not clean enough. I just assumed before using this product that it would be like any other wood furniture cleaning product, but I was so wrong. The Guardsman Purifying Wood Cleaner really does clean deep down. I honestly never gave much thought to this before. I’m disgusted with the dirt and cleaner residue it took up from my furniture, but elated to know the difference now.
Final Thoughts:
I can assure you that every couple of weeks I will be using this before I polish my wood furniture from now on. It’s not enough for me to know that my furniture is dust-free and shiney. I am a firm believer in cleanliness for health reasons above all others and now that I see what was on our wood furniture, this is definitely a product I will be using from here on out.
Doing Good:
Guardsman is donating $25,000 to Habitat for Humanity to kick off the “Stop Cleaning, Start Caring” campaign which will help educate furniture owners on techniques that will bring out their furniture’s inner beauty. Guardsman will show a new generation of furniture and home enthusiasts how to love and protect their furniture by demonstrating that furniture has its own beauty routine.
~You nurture, protect and care for the things you love. And your furniture should be no exception. New or old, we all have furniture we love.
~Furniture should be cared for in the same way we take care of ourselves. It’s more than dusting and polishing, it’s about nourishing, revitalizing and bringing out furniture’s inner beauty.
~Guardsman wants to unlock the secret experts and homeowners have shared for more than a century. The simple furniture beauty routine includes: cleansing, polishing and, of course, covering those tiny imperfections.
~The secret to beautiful furniture is simple… “Stop Cleaning. Start Caring™”

Trying new things and coming up with creative solutions is the heart of this children’s book entitled Peepsqueak!
The story focuses on Peepsqueak’s deep desire to learn to fly high. However, the other farm animals only offer him discouragement. Peepsqueak repeatedly tries and fails. When another animal offers an alternative possibility, will it work? You’ll just have to read it yourself to find out!
Besides the beautiful illustrations, your children will love Peepsqueak’s determination and heart. My son laughed at Peepsqueak’s repeated attempts to fly and cheered him on.
As a librarian, I can see that this book is a great tool for teaching children about predicting outcomes. I know my students are going to enjoy this book just as much as my son and I did.
*I received a copy of this book to review. No other compensation was received.
