Cool Stuff We Love
March 2007
Cool Spring Cleaning
Method Air Enhancer Got a stinky tour bus? Method Air Enhancer is
your ticket to ride. This stuff is like Fabreeze for the air, but natural
and Ozone-safe. (And dare we say, with a fragrance that’s better-smelling
and not as heavy as Fabreeze.)
For small spaces (like that stinky tour bus), we like the Sweet Water scent,
which freshens the air without making the place smell girly…instead, leaving
behind a barely-detectable scent that reminds us of fresh laundry.
Can’t sleep, or need to relax after the show? Spritz around a little
Lavender-Lemongrass scent (also not girly) and have pleasant dreams.
We love that both scents are natural, non-toxic, non-aerosol, and
non-destructive to the Ozone. (Not a sneeze, nor a wheeze from our
chemically-sensitive Ed-in-Chief.)
Plus, being made of aluminum, the spray can is recyclable.
We also love that they’re double-concentrated so they’re easy on the
pocketbook, and a little goes a long way (a 2-second spray is plenty in most
cases).
Available at Target, and at some supermarkets and drugstores.
World’s Best Cat Litter
Being fairly low-maintenance but enjoyable of the good life, cats often
reside in the homes of musicians and those who work behind the scenes. Until
the recent passing of 22 year-old Natasha, our Ed-in-Chief’s home was no
exception. (Yes, you read that right, 22!)
Being an indoor cat of an especially fastidious nature, Natasha preferred
World’s Best Cat Litter, for her…[whispering]…litterbox.
In the Original Formula, please. Natasha’s people (i.e., Ed and family)
preferred it, too.
Made from whole-kernel corn, World’s Best Cat Litter is scoopable,
flushable, natural, non-toxic, organic, biogradable, and silica dust free.
It’s safe for cats and kittens, and is even veterinarian-recommended for ill
or anemic cats whose mineral deficiencies may make them eat other types of
kitty litter.
In addition to the above, we love that World’s Best Kitty Litter contains no
perfumes or synthetic chemicals, but keeps an even fresher litter box than
the brands that do. We also love that it’s Earth-Friendly. (Ever seen
pictures of a kitty litter mine?) We also love that the World’s Best Cat
Litter company offers a money-back guarantee if you and your cat don’t like
it.
Natasha’s people love that World’s Best has great clumping action without
the cement-like binders in other scoopable litters (which can be trouble for
long-haired cats who accidentally swallow it during bathtime). They
especially love that it’s lighter to carry home from the store.
Finally, Natasha herself loved that its soft texture makes World’s Best Cat
Litter easy to walk on, even for kitties with arthritis. And that it’s free
of sharp edges, making it easy on one’s paw pads.
Come to think of it, Ed loves that too…World’s Best Cat Litter put an end to
“Stray Kitty Litter Rock in the Shoe” Syndrome!
Available at pet stores.

Note: The World’s Best Cat
Litter label says it lasts 30 days for one cat. For optimum cat health,
Natasha’s people disagree with this recommendation, especially for older or
immune compromised cats. Instead, Natasha’s people recommend a separate
litterbox for each cat, scooping at least twice a day and adding new litter
as necessary, then washing the litter box every 7-10 days with a non-toxic
detergent such as Method dishwashing liquid. Dry thoroughly, refill with
clean litter, and Kitty’s good to go. As for disinfectants, Ed says, “Bleach
and ammonia don’t mix, and Lysol is poisonous to cats, so we focused on
keeping the litter box really clean instead.”
