We received a set of KITCHEN products yesterday in the Poached Fig and Pear fragrance. I haven't had much time to try them out yet, but as I'm always washing my hands in the kitchen, I gave the hand wash a try during dinner prep last night. I really like the soft but yummy scent. It's light and pleasant, fits in the kitchen, and doesn't linger forever (I'm not a fan of smelling the hand soap hours later!)

Doing dishes is also a regular occurrence around here (no scullery maid as of yet!), so I gave the dish soap a whirl too. It does indeed make plenty of suds, and certainly got my dishes clean and grease-free.

Our oldest son has been complaining that our painted wood kitchen table smells like blue cheese. Not that we ever eat blue cheese... :) There were blue marks at his spot (but of course that wouldn't be the pen he was using.) Anyway, before setting the table for dinner, I wiped it down with the counter spray. I like how the spray has a locking feature - my kids love spray bottles, and I have visions of them madly spraying everything and using up all the spray! The table came clean easily and now it smells like figs and pear!!
