Silvon gives you clean sheets every night

Did you know that your sheets and pillowcases are full of organisms and other things that could be bad for your health? “After just one night of use, traditional pillowcases and bed sheets can accumulate a horrifying array of bacteria, allergens and fungus,” said Alex Szpakowski. “Studies suggest that some men change their sheets just four times a year and women, every two and a half weeks.”

So Szapkowski gathered some partners and decided to develop a pillowcase and bed sheets under the name Silvon made with the same technology used by NASA to permanently prevent bacteria from growing on your pillowcase. “We don’t wear the same tee shirt for weeks on end; Why do we lay onto a pillowcase that hasn’t been washed in days?” explained Szapkowski. “This simple question became the beginning of an incredible journey to make a revolutionary fabric that would, hopefully, create a whole new category of bedding.”

Silvon saves the time and energy it takes you to wash your sheets and pillows on a daily basis with pure, natural silver to prevent all those yucky things that usually grown on your pillow from doing so. With Silvon you can rest assured that your bedding is as clean as it should always be.

Szapkowski believes that everyone can benefit from Silvon pillowcases and bedsheets. “From day one we were very clear that our products were a part of a holistic approach to wellbeing. There’s nothing more important than sleep. And it all starts with creating the right environment. We want to bring textile innovations to the bedroom – and believe that Silvon is a product that everyone can benefit from. The modern adult doesn’t have time to wash their bedding daily,  and Silvon allows us to rest assured that we have fresh sheets, each and every night.”

How to Get Rid of Cigar Breath, Smell, and Smoke
cigar smoke

Many of life's most pleasurable experiences come with less-than-pleasant aftermath. For example: An evening of indulgence in bourbon and beer brings a hangover as retribution, a great climb or hike leaves its share of lactic acid in those worn-out muscles, and a day spent lounging about on the beach or poolside can bring a sunburn and questions like, "Hey, why aren't you at work?"

Puffing on a fine cigar at a get-together or quietly enjoying one as you leaf through the pages of a book might be nice ways to pass some time, but no matter how you enjoy that stogie, the result will be the same: cigar smell.

Paper Doesn’t Work — Convert Any Toilet Into a Bidet with Tushy
convert any toilet into a bidet with tushy classic

Let's face it. Cleaning up after you need to do your bathroom business is definitely not something that any of us like to discuss or even think about. However, it's something we need to get involved with pretty much every day and sometimes multiple times a day. Do you really want to keep using paper to wipe that sensitive area? Of course not. That's why Tushy has come up with a method that means you can convert any toilet into a bidet with a minimum of hassle. It's a far better solution than anything paper-related.

You might be thinking "Hey, I've always used paper. What's wrong with it?" Well, actually, a lot. You see using so much paper is pretty terrible for the environment. It's waste, pure and simple. It also rarely feels particularly nice on your skin, especially if you ever have a bad day and need to use a lot of it. There's also the matter of hygiene. You know how if you wipe your hands with paper towels, it never feels as good as washing them with water? That's how your butt feels every time you use paper.

The holidays are rapidly approaching and that means guests will be descending upon your home before you know it. If your guest room looks a bit drab, don’t panic. We’ve got you covered with these easy tips to set up a luxurious space that will make visitors feel right at home.
Start with a Warm Welcome
Naturally, you will welcome your guests when they arrive at your home. But once they are ready to settle into their room, a simple welcome note on the bedside table will make a big impact. It’s the way boutique hotels welcome guests, and it will show your visitors that you put time and thought into their stay. Be sure to include important information like the alarm code to the house, how to use the TV remote, and, most importantly, the Wi-Fi password.

Splurge on the Bedding
Two things make for an amazing stay: great sheets and the perfect pillow. Outfit the bed with Brooklinen’s Luxe Core Sheet Set, but be warned: Your guests may spend their whole stay in bed. Pair it with the company’s down alternative pillow to ensure they have the best night's sleep ever.
