For Homecare Products, #VotePC2019.

It was way back in 2004 when I first became acquainted with the brand 'Personal Collection'. One of my colleagues from my previous job was a registered dealer, and she would often bring brochures and product samples, and encourage us to try their products. I remember how she would wheedle us into buying the toilet bowl cleanser, but I was more interested in lipsticks and body lotions back then.

Recently, I have been reintroduced to Personal Collection and surprise, surprise! The toilet bowl cleanser that my colleague used to promote and sell aggressively is still in existence! Turns out, this was Personal's Collection pioneer product, and is still one of the brand's bestsellers. Talk about steadfast and being able to stand the test of time!

Homecare products from Personal Collection.

Tuff TBC is a toilet bowl cleanser formulated for maximum cleansing and disinfecting. Its Killer Virex Formula guarantees 99.99% percent protection from disease-causing germs and bacteria.
A versatile product, Tuff TBC can also be used in other areas of the bathroom such as the walls, the floor, the shower area, and the sink. It comes in a sleek and innovative bottle, and is available in Lemon and Classic Fresh scents.

Tuff TBC (1 liter), Php 285.

More than 15 years in the business, Personal Collection now has a wider and more impressive range of homecare products. These include laundry detergents, fabric softeners, dishwashing liquids, and insect repellents.

Sof & Mmmmm Concentrated Fabric Conditioner (1 liter), Php 285.
Tuff PLD (800 grams), Php 179.

Tuff PLD is a powder laundry detergent which removes tough stains, restores dingy whites, and protects colors from fading over time. It now comes in the same floral scent as the Sof & Mmmmm Eternity Fabric Conditioner, which makes your clothes smell fresh and fragrant. One other thing that I like about Tuff PLD is how gentle it is on the skin. I used it to handwash my underwear (because I'm old school like that) and thankfully, my hands did not feel itchy afterwards. Now that's tough and gentle at the same time.

Sof & Mmmmm Fabric Conditioner.

On the other hand, the Sof & Mmmmm Fabric Conditioner not only softens fabrics it also protects it from stretching and fading. It reduces wrinkles on clothes, which makes them easier to fold. You can even skip ironing for cotton tees and polyester fabrics. 

Infused with Perfumed Micro Crystals, this fabric conditioner has a long-lasting, luxurious floral fragrance. The scent may seem overpowering at first, but the strong smell becomes gentle when mixed with water and used on clothes. Our clothes smell exceptionally fresh and wonderful after soaking them in Sof & Mmmmm Fabric Conditioner and drying them out in the sun.

Tuff DWL (270 mL0, Php 99.

Now for the kitchen, Personal Collection has the Tuff DWL, the country's 'most powerful direct selling dishwashing liquid brand'.  With its Germex Formula, this product kills 99.9% of germs, takes away the remaining soap from your dishes, and leaves it with a subtle scent of lime. It's quite concentrated, so a small drop goes a long way. It easily cuts through grease, and makes your dishes squeaky clean. Tuff DWL is very economical, which is a come-on for us budget-conscious moms. 

Target Multi-insect Killer (600 mL), Php 329.

Insect issues? Personal Collection also has a solution for that and it's called Target - an aerosol spray that effectively kills both crawling and flying insects. This CFC-free (chlorofluorocarbon) multi-insect killer eliminates insects fast and leaves no offensive, chemical-laden odor in the air, making it the better alternative for asthmatics like me.

So overall, what makes Personal Collection a great choice for homecare products? To put it simply, they're cost-effective, and they get the job done. They're the same traits that make a great leader, aside from being honest, trustworthy, and diligent.

And when you vote tomorrow (because it's Mid-term Elections here in the Philippines), I hope you vote wisely and vote for those who put the people's interests above everything else. You can never, ever go wrong with someone who puts service above self.

Spotlight | Tough Love by Human Nature.

Sometime last month, (yes, I have that much blog backlog - sorry!) I had the honor of receiving this package from Human Nature. Inside the box were the Tough Love Natural Dishwashing Liquid and the Tough Love Natural Liquid Detergent - two of the latest additions to Human Nature's continuously growing product line.

Tough Love!

Launched in the first quarter of 2013, Tough Love is the home care brand of Human Nature that's 'tough where it matters and loving where it counts'. In other words, these Tough Love products work well against grease, dirt and stains but are mild on the skin, safe for your family's health, and for our environment, too.

Tough Love Natural Liquid Detergent.

It's a known fact that laundry detergents, despite their ability to remove dirt and stains on your laundry, have poisonous effects that can cause substantial damage to marine life. With Tough Love Natural Liquid Detergent, you can garb your family in clean clothes without causing harm to the environment.

I personally love its refreshing citrus smell. The scent is so distinct that my four-year-old, who was then watching the telly in the living room, was able to smell it from afar. He loved the scent, too, and even thought that I was making juice when in fact, I was washing his dirty underpants in the bathroom.

If you have uber sensitive skin like mine, you'll love how gentle this all-natural detergent is to your skin. No more allergies caused by chemical-laden detergent bars and powders!

Cruelty-free, made from natural ingredients, safe on baby clothes, too!

One thing though - Tough Love's consistency isn't as thick and syrupy as the brands we usually see in the supermarkets. Hence, I tend to use a little bit more than the amount indicated in the measuring guide.

The 950mL jug of Tough Love Liquid Detergent retails for Php 299.75 (at present it comes in one size only) and is available online, and at all Human Nature branches.

As for the Tough Love Dishwashing Liquid, it has a grapefruit orange scent that can perk up the senses. The Tough Love Dishwashing Liquid has just about the same consistency as the liquid detergent (not so thick, not too syrupy) and is also free of phosphates, chlorine, bleach, dyes, enzymes, petroleum, synthetic fragrances, optical brighteners, and other chemicals that are detrimental to one's health and harmful to the environment.

It cuts through grease and leaves your kitchen utensils squeaky clean without the slimy, soapy residue. Doesn't dry your hands, too!

Read the label! :)

It now comes in two sizes - the 250mL bottle for Php 99.75, the 500mL bottle at Php 169.75. Available at Human Nature's online store, and at your local Human Nature branches.

Need a little more convincing as to why you should ditch those chemical-laden cleaning products? Here's a little something for you to read. Please click on the image to enlarge.

Tough!

Hope you're all having a meaningful Holy Week, everyone! Stay safe if you're on the road! :)
