We Can Stop Cleaning Up After Our Glass Cleaner with Invisible Glass

invisible glass cleaner
We have been doing a lot of cleaning using Invisible Glass® products and love the results! The ClearDry formula in the solution does not contain soaps, scents, dyes, or other streaky additives. When we compare Invisible Glass to blue water glass cleaners, we can immediately see how quickly it removes the most difficult grime, making glass virtually disappear.

Straws and Connectors Encourage Developmental Skills

I favour S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) education, as I believe it has lots of developmental benefits for our children and it helps them to gain wider perspectives. It is important for parents and educators to encourage children to understand basic concepts of these subjects, so they can make inquiries, explore and learn. Giving appropriate tools for exploration and play has direct impact on a child's development in a variety of levels such as cognitive, physical, literacy, numeracy, and emotional growth.

Pharmacists and dietitians at select Loblaws and Zehrs locations do more than just fill prescriptions and answer dietary questions. Both the Loblaws Dietitians and the Loblaws Pharmacy team can help us with our nutrition concerns on a variety of topics. When I spoke with a Loblaws store pharmacist, I found out that the pharmacists and dietitians at the Loblaws store work closely together to offer education/ information programs to help us achieve our health goals.
