Hardware & Housewares Review 2 3 Thursday, May 10, 2018 YouCopia's New Products Deliver 'Woo Hoo' Feeling For customers who enjoy being organ- ized, but not necessarily the process to get there, YouCopia is introducing new products designed to inspire confidence at home. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the company offers organization products that are easily customized to fit different needs and spaces, without any installa- tion. New packaging features fresh colors that pop off the retail shelf, and clearly communicates the product benefits. Leading the 2018 new product line- up is the StoraLid™, an adjustable con- tainer lid organizer for the cabinet or drawer. "Customers have been begging us to come up with an easy way to corral all their container lids in the kitchen," says YouCopia President Lauren Greenwood. Two compartments organize lids of various shapes and sizes, while movable dividers – one long and four short – help create smaller spaces that keep lids upright and ready to be found. Center slots hold round lids in place and allow for faster drying time. SRP for the StoraLid is $14.99. "To tie in with the hydration trend and the proliferation of water bottles in the home, we are introducing BottleStand™, the first-ever organizer for water, thermal and travel bottles in the cabinet or drawer," Greenwood says. The BottleStand holds eight bottles either horizontally in a cabinet or verti- cally in a drawer. The unit stays in place with a non-slip border so bottles are easy to find, remove and replace. Coffee travel mugs with handles fit nicely, and straws can be stored in two small side slots. The BottleStand snaps together in less than a minute with no tools required. SRP is $14.99. Also new in 2018 are two turntables featuring new innova- tions to maximize storage space. The Crazy Susan ® Two-Tier Turntable fea- tures a center post so items stay visible and easy to reach no matter which way it spins. An adjustable height design creates a 5", 6" or 7" opening between tiers to take full advantage of vertical cabinet space. Stainless steel ball bearings pro- vide smooth rotation. SRP is $19.99. The Crazy Susan Turntable With Bins keeps small, clutter-prone items – from snacks, packets, pods and bottles, to hair and nail accessories and toiletries, to craft supplies – organized and accessible in the cabinet, pantry or bathroom. Three clear, removable bins feature built-in handles so it's easy to grab an entire bin and move to a different work surface. Stainless steel ball bearings provide smooth rotation. SRP is $24.99. YouCopia's new products will be available in May 2018. For more infor- mation on YouCopia's entire product line, email sales@youcopia.com or call 773.252.0710. YouCopia, a WBNEC-Certified Women's Business Enterprise based in Chicago, designs and markets innovative home organization products that help consumers triumph over the small stuff to say "woo hoo" at home.

This New Cleaning Tool Disrupts the Toilet Brush Category Better Living announces its revolution- ary entry into the toilet cleaning category with the game-changing introduction of LOOEEGEE™, the Hygienic Toilet Squeegee. Toilet brushes have had the same design for over 80 years. They can clog up with bacteria and rust, they retain water that drips on the floor and pools in the holder, they tangle with toilet paper and waste, they require harsh chemicals to clean, and lastly, they can fail to reach under the rim. Now, thanks to LOOEEGEE, the days of cleaning a toi- let the conventional way are finally over! Instead of traditional stiff, plastic bristles, LOOEEGEE has a flexible, non- stick silicone pad that swipes a toilet clean while repelling bacteria. Unlike a typical bristle brush, LOOEEGEE has no crevices or hiding places for bacteria to accumu- late, making it a gunk-free cleaning tool that actually stays clean itself. With 30 micro squeegee blades built-in, LOOEEGEE's powerful ribbed design quickly removes stubborn stains with less scrubbing and its flexible nature allows for easily reaching under the rim, ensuring spotless results while saving time and effort. One of the most commonly dreaded aspects of cleaning a toilet is the dirty water that drips from the brush. A traditional bristle brush holds excess water that can end up dribbling on the toilet seat, floor or even worse, collecting in the bottom of the brush holder. LOOEEGEE's water repellent sili- cone quickly dries and prevents drips. With a couple of quick shakes after cleaning, most of the water sheds straight into the bowl, preventing drips as well as bacteria from building up in the holder. The LOOEEGEE Hygienic Toilet Squeegee is also long lasting and sustainable. Its durable silicone pad outlasts a regular bristle brush and does not require regular replace- ment, saving consumers' money and the environment. LOOEEGEE has a stainless steel handle that is rust proof and it is also backed by Better Living's five year warranty. Say goodbye to dirty bristles, germs and drips and say hello to LOOEEGEE, the Hygienic Toilet Squeegee. For more information, visit www.betterlivingproducts.ca.
