Arm & Hammer - Truly Radiant

I received three products from Smiley 360 from Arm & Hammer. They were given to me for free  for the purpose of my review. Opinions are 100% my own.

First let me tell you I am fairly loyal to my current dental hygiene products.  I think they work swimmingly so I have a fairly high standard.  Over all the Truly Radiant products worked quite well.  It was a bumpy start but it all evened out in the end.  I feel like the three products used together give you subtle results but results none the less.  They are a little bit less expensive than some of the more well established dental hygiene brands so to me that is also a plus.  I would recommend you try them and see for yourself.

Spinbrush™ Truly Radiant™ Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush
First lets talk about the Spinbrush.  When I hear that I immediately think of  an electric toothbrush.  This is not that, it is a manual brush with a spinning head.  It seems a bit odd at first but once you use it you can feel the difference. I personally did not notice the rotating head moving but I will say my teeth felt exceptionally cleaner.  My old toothbrush did just fine but I feel like this one managed to brush my teeth more efficiently.  If you try just one of these products I would go for this one first. 

ARM & HAMMER™ Truly Radiant™ Rejuvenating Toothpaste
Next we have the Rejuvenating Toothpaste.  This stuff about seared off the first layer of skin in my mouth for the first couple uses.  Okay not really but it didn't feel pleasant.  It wasn't pain necessarily but there was a numbness and my lips felt wrinkly.   I read the ingredients and there is no alcohol so I am assuming it is the minty flavoring maybe was a bit too strong for my mouth.  Since it wasn't actually pain, I used it for a full week just to see and my mouth adjusted to the flavor (I guess) and I no longer had the weird sensation.  Aside from that I thought the product worked great.  My mouth feel fresh and clean.  And it was a lasting feeling, it didn't fade after rinsing.  Also, I swear my smile was a tad bit brighter.  Nothing drastic so it could have been my imagination but I think it was there. So I would give this toothpaste another go. 
 
Truly Radiant™ Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse
Finally we have the Fluoride Rinse. It was a burst of minty flavor.  It didn't burn my mouth like some other notable mouthwashes do.  It is not unpleasant to use so I can see using it regularly with no issues.  It left my mouth feeling very fresh for a decent period of time but again my lips and gums felt weird.  Not hurt but it felt not right.  The sensation faded fairly quickly so I will continue to use it.

ARM & HAMMER™ Clump & Seal™ litter

I received this product from Smiley 360 for free to try.  I took the 7 day challenge and I think I found a new product to love.

My cats are picky.  We have tried to use A&H litter in the past but it smelled funny and the cats hated it.  I am talking refused to use the litter box type hating.  So we always went back to another "Fresh" brand.  Which, don't get me wrong, is wonderful but it is very dusty and has a strong perfume smell that bothers me.  I have a strong sense of smell so it gives me a slight headache.

I did a true 7 day challenge.  We have two boxes.  So in one I put ARM & HAMMER™ Clump & Seal™ litter and in the other I put our current brand litter.  First thing to note, it is affordable.  A bit cheaper than some more well known brands. The ARM & HAMMER™ Clump & Seal™ shocked me from the start.  There was virtually no dust.  We dumped it into the pan and I wasn't immediately enveloped into a cloud of litter dust.  I dumped the other brand into the other box and had to leave the room because it was so much dust it could choke you (nothing new, I usually wear a mask because of this).  Aside from that we noticed two things immediately.  The Arm & Hammer was more dense, not heavy but dense.  I think because of the smaller granules.  Also the scent.  There was no overpowering perfume scent.  The other one was so incredibly strong but this one was mild. 

We clean the litters daily (usually) but we noticed even if we skipped a day the A & H box didn't smell bad and you couldn't see the liquid. The other litter had a slight odor masked with perfume and it looked damp.  It was clear that the A & H clumped better.  There were perfect little pee clumps that looked dry and were easy to remove.  The other litter was gooey.  I mean it clumps but its clearly wet looking and it falls apart if you aren't careful.  Also when cleaning the box, there is limited dust.  Seriously just the reduction of dust everywhere sold me.  Now, my cats still use both boxes but if we skip a day they go more towards the A & H box.  It must smell more clean to them.

It has been 7 days.  I can tell a difference so I know the cats can too.  The ARM & HAMMER™ Clump & Seal™ litter box still looks like brand new litter.  The other brand you can tell has been used a bit.  I think it is because of the damp clumping.  So when you are cleaning it you are leaving damp pieces of litter in the box with makes it dirty faster.  Also, 7 days later and the cats seem to prefer the A & H box.  There is less mess in the other litter.  Even with the masking perfume scent the other litter doesn't smell better than the ARM & HAMMER™ Clump & Seal™ litter.  If anything it smells worse because you can smell cat pee slightly mixed with floral whatever.

I have picky cats but they seemed to have picked ARM & HAMMER™ Clump & Seal™ over our other brand which used to be their favorite.  I recommend it.  Seriously click here and try it out.
