Help Ten Moves Raise Php600,000 For The Typhoon Pablo Victims

April 10, 2013 No Comments

It seem rather daunting to find out that while we go about in our day-to-day activities, complaining only of too much summer heat and being bored out of our wits now that it is summer and we have not decided on which summer classes or activities to enroll our kids or ourselves, that most of the victims of Typhoon Pablo {Bopha} in Mindanao are still trying to put their lives back together after the devastation and the grave loss. Many families where relocated from their houses that were washed away by the flood and students cannot have proper classes after the typhoon destroyed most of their schools and school stuff.

Ten Moves in a nutshell

TEN Moves, a part of the Bayanihang Pampaaralan and managed by the Ayala Foundation and the Philippine Business for Social progress, is a campaign to raise money to build 10,000 classrooms in the Philippines as the response to classroom shortages. The campaign, TEN Moves, an acronym for The Entire Nation Moves, appeals and encourages every Filipino to do their share and aims to gather our whole country of 2 million people to donate what they can to the movement by starting with Php10 each day for 10 months or donating directly to the campaign in larger sums or any amount anyone wishes to donate.

Typhoon Pablo

We are all aware of the damage and devastation that typhoon Pablo left in Mindanao, destroying schools and towns in its wakes. Ten Moves prioritized their fundraising efforts and shall be putting all donations made today until June 30 to directly fund rebuilding schools in Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley.

iGive.ph/TenMoves

Ten Moves is partnering with iGive.ph, an online fundraiser and are asking individuals and/or groups to create a fundraising page to help raise funds or donate directly online. True, not everyone can raise 600,000, which is the cost of building one classroom, but collectively we can all lend a hand in making this noble vision a reality.

Product Review: Spray n’ Go Waterless Car Cleaners

April 8, 2013 15 Comments

review, product review, eco-friendly stuff, earth-friendly products, cars

I have mentioned on several occasions that I am in constant search for earth-friendly products to replace those that I have been using at home and early this year I was delighted to find out that one of my favorite brands just came out with their own 100% natural dishwashing cleanser and laundry detergent! This wanna-be green mum was more than ecstatic and is keeping my fingers crossed that they come out with a natural all-around home cleaner for the house, too.

Everything green and eco-friendly is okay in my book that is why when Spray n’ Go Waterless Car Cleaners approached me to ask if they can send over some samples for review, I agreed. Of course, I had to ask Jared’s dad first, since he will be the one to try the products as I do not have any inkling of how to use them whatsoever and I have never tried washing a car before. So I am just glad that he readily agrees! 🙂

Spray n’ Go Waterless Car Cleaners sent me the following products to try:

Waterless Carwash and Quick Detailer
Waterless Glass Cleaner
Waterless Rim and Tire Cleaner

The package {in a brown bag} also comes with a microfiber towel to apply the products with. This set sells for Php660.

Spray n’ Go Waterless Car Cleaners in a nutshell

This is what their Facebook Fan Page says:

Save time and water but still maintain a clean and shiny car. Reduce frequency of washes with our water and dust repellent waterless car cleaners. Remove water spots, preserve your car paint, add an extra gloss and protect it from extreme sunlight! We make use of Filipino-made eco-friendly and biodegradable products. It lubricates to remove stubborn dirt without the risk of scratching the paint. The product evaporates to prevent further spotting. It also enhances the gloss of your car making it look refreshed.

And this is how the Spray n’ Go Waterless Car Cleaners work its magic:

Pre-clean your car to remove dust, loose dirt and contaminants on the car surface using a feather duster
Spray Spray n’ Go with an even mist, one section at a time. Let it settle to lubricate and lift stubborn dirt
Wipe the surface in one direction to remove dirt, using a folded microfiber towel
Buff the surface with the same circular motion using the dry side of the same microfiber towel

A single application of these car cleaners is enough to make your car sparkling clean and according to Jared’s dad they clean better than just water and soap. In fact, a 100ml Car Wash can last up to 6 to seven washes, while the Glass Cleaner can wipe your windows clean for 11 times while the Rim and Tire Cleaner can last up to 5 or 6 wishes on average-sized cars.

Mum’s two cents

Jared’s dad’s car is spotlessly clean after one application, too bad he was not able to take a “before” photo

Firstly, I love that these car cleaners are made up of earth-friendly coconut-based components, it has no solvents that can damage your paint, no harmful chemicals that can render your tires brittle. These products are in fact cosmetic-grade, making it gentle and safe even for human skin. Using Spray n’ Go not only give Mother Nature a break from all the harmful chemicals that go into the waterways but also lend a hand in conserving water supply, too. Did you know that you consume about 40 gallons of water whenever you wash your car at home? And some people even wash their cars several times in a week. With Spray n’ Go , you not only save up on water, but also reduces the number of times you have to wash your car as they coat your car from dust and grime, as well as preserve and revive the car’s original paint color.

Two thumbs up also for this products being Filipino-made, it is a living proof that Filipinos can clearly create green products that are not only effective but affordable, too. I may not be too familiar with car cleaning products but if there are greener alternative that allows you to use no harmful chemicals in cleaning your car and lets you save a considerable amount of water, then I am all for it!

I give this product the highest rating I can give: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
