Oser Founder Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Monday, March 16, 2020 4 Garage Makeovers on the Rise Clutter is one of the biggest issues with garage organization. The garage serves a lot of purposes, with the primary being housing cars; however, for many, the garage is so unorganized, it can't even fit one car. A survey by Peachtree Consulting found that more than 50 per- cent of homeowners plan on reorganizing their garage within the next two years. There is also a growing market for organization products for hobby items in the garage; for example, sports equip- ment and gardening. In addition, a rising number of homeowners are interested in making their garage more of a living space, leading to a greater emphasis on organizing these areas. As a result, there has been a trend toward complete garage makeovers. Driven by the growing size of garages in higher-end homes, coupled with an increasing base of baby boomers having the time and money to invest in remodelling their garages, sales of home organization products used in garages are expected to increase 4.9 percent annually through 2021 to $8 billion, experiencing the fastest of growth of sales to any room (Home Organization Market in the US, 7th Edition). Neatfreak! The Home Organization Company has responded to this trend by introducing new and innovative garage organization products to its offering in 2020, including wall-mounted track & hook systems and freestanding organiz- ers. With the idea to get garage items off the floor and stored vertically, neatfreak! has designed three new freestanding Garage and Sport Organizers. The first is a 3-Compartment Sorter with three deep vertical cubbies with mesh front panels to store and organize sports equipment and toys, like balls, helmets, etc. The removeable top wire grid gives the ability to vertically store tall items like hockey sticks, base- ball bats, golf clubs, pool noodles, rakes and brooms. Serene House Debuts Essential Oil Wall-Plug Diffusers Serene House introduces a new way to enjoy your favorite essential oils. The essential oil wall-plug diffusers deliver calming, healthy aromatherapy without the need to add water. The wall-plug dif- fusers feature dual scent delivery sys- tems, allowing you to customize your fragrance experience. Scent delivery sys- tem 1 uses essential oil wicks, while scent delivery system 2 utilizes a scent cartridge with paper pads. Both scent delivery systems can operate in continu- ous or intermittent mode. All of Serene House's wall-plug diffusers feature rotat- ing metal prongs to guarantee you can use your unit in every outlet in every room. A nightlight with three brightness levels ensures that your diffuser is as functional as it is beautiful. New dual scent delivery systems allow you to control fragrance strength. For system 1, insert a wick into your favorite Serene House essential oil and place the bottle inside the diffuser and plug it into any stan- dard wall outlet. The diffusers can hold 5ml, 10ml or 15ml essential oil bottles. For system 2, add 5- 10 drops of Serene House essential oil onto the paper pad. Close the cartridge and place it back inside the diffuser before plugging it into any standard wall outlet. Change scents quickly and easily by adding a new paper pad to the car- tridge.
