Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily 3 7 Saturday, March 18, 2017 NEATFREAK EXTENDS BRAND DIFFERENTIATION THROUGH SCIENCE The laundry space at retail is crowded with "sameness." Enter neatfreak with EVERFRESH ® ̶ proprietary pro-biotic technology using natural, beneficial microbes embedded into the fabric of neatfreak laundry products. EVERFRESH works continuously to control and reduce odor so neatfreak laundry hampers are always fresh and eliminates the need to spray your hamper with deodorizers or scents to control unpleasant odors. Unlike popular anti- bacterials, which are regulated pesticides and may contain harmful toxins, EVER- FRESH is a natural, non-toxic solution that effectively controls laundry odors. Now that's different! How does EVERFRESH work? Odor is caused by partially digested organic material left behind by bacteria: for example, body sweat. Beneficial microbes, which are found all around us in nature, are selected and invisibly bonded to the fabric surface of the laun- dry products using proprietary technolo- gy, resulting in thousands of dormant microbes to every square inch of the fab- ric surface. Once they come in contact with odor-causing partially decomposed organic material and bacteria, they acti- vate. Then, the activated microbes work to eliminate the odor-causing organic material, leaving behind odorless water and carbon dioxide, which evaporate. With the partially decomposed organic material broken down, the odor is eliminated and the microbes go dormant until reactivated. This innovative process of applying live micro-organisms to fibers results in natural, non-toxic odor control that is safe for people, pets and the environment, and is exclusive to neatfreak laundry products. If it doesn't say neatfreak, it doesn't have EVERFRESH. EVERFRESH Pro-Biotic technolo- gy is a register mark of Neatfreak Group across multiple categories, making it a point of differentiation for retailers and a clear choice for consumers. Neatfreak plans to extend the brand in order to expand its consumer reach through licensing EVERFRESH and partnering with selected non-compet- ing home product manufac- turers. For three decades, neat- freak has designed, manu- factured and distributed innovative products to retailers around the world. Neatfreak provides imagina- tive solutions that make life easier, keep things organized and help control chaos from the closet to the laundry room and beyond.

QUICK & EASY GARLIC ROASTING FROM TODCO For years, people have enjoyed roasted garlic for not only it's delicious taste but the health benefits it provides. There are many time-consuming ways to roast gar- lic, from simply putting it in your con- ventional oven in foil or using a clay roasting dish. Introducing the Roasted Garlic Express. This countertop roaster was designed just for that special purpose to make roasting garlic simple, convenient, quick and save energy. In only 27 minutes you can have creamy roasted garlic to spread on toasted baguettes, add to mashed potatoes or blend into your salad dressing for that amazing mellow taste. Unlike traditional clay roast- ers that need to go into an oven for over an hour, the Roasted Garlic Express is a coun- tertop roaster that uses a patented terra cotta ring to ensure you get the same result every time you roast garlic. Where did this idea start? Over 10 years ago, inventor Todd Hannon was thinking, "How can we have that deli- cious garlic without running that big oven in the heat of summer? Having a large garden and growing garlic as a hobby, we enjoy roasting garlic quite often, but using the oven in sum- mer for just roasting garlic was a prob- lem." After some research and develop- ment, Hannon said, "I wanted it to not only be functional, but look special. The exterior reflects the look of a bulb of gar- lic, keeping the outlook as fun as the product itself." To roast garlic, you first wet the terra cotta ring and insert it into the bottom of the roaster. Now in the removable roast- ing pan, you add your garlic, oil, salt and seasonings. Close the roaster and press start. The timer starts at 27 minutes and counts down to zero. Included is a removable handle that snaps onto the pan, letting you remove it safely from the roaster. This new model roaster has been increased to 800 watts of power and fea- tures an updated control panel design with a digital timer. The timer defaults to 27 minutes and then can be adjusted to add or subtract time, giving more control in cooking other foods in the Roasted Garlic Express.
