If you want to clean your house before the upcoming holidays, you might consider doing this with environmentally friendly cleaning materials. Adama, a company known for its organic food products, now markets ecological cleaning products under the name Tidy. The products do not contain petrochemicals or optical whiteners, only elements that are biodegradable.
Tidy offers 12 cleaning products: a floor cleaner, laundry detergent, laundry softener, toilet cleaner, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher soap, window cleaner, lime scale remover, all-purpose cleaner, whitening powder, and a grease remover. The grease-remover I tried didn't have the strong smell usually associated with these products, and it did a good job of cleaning off a dirty stovetop. You can find Tidy products in health food stores. Prices range from NIS 14.90 to NIS 44.90.
Nikol is now offering its version of those convenient zip-lock storage bags that you can close in one movement, like a zipper. The bags come in two different sizes and are reusable. The bigger size can also be used to store kids' games, jewelry or items in your luggage, for example, in addition to food. The smaller bags are suitable for food items and have an aluminum back. The price for a package, containing 15 or 12 bags, is NIS 13.
For kindergarten-age kids who have a birthday coming up, Prigat has a nice package containing some items you will need for a party.

Dr. Fischer has bubble bath soap for kids that has a bubble gum scent. The soap is pink and really does smell like the sweet bubble gum kids usually like - just make sure the little ones don't try to drink it! The bubble bath soap contains pro-Vitamin B5 to protect the skin, as well as moisturizers. A 500 ml. bottle of this pink soap, decorated with a picture of a hippo in a bathtub, is NIS 23.
If you still want to enjoy floating in the pool or in the sea during the last days of summer or during the holidays, the inflatable mattress by Idan Camping, available at the Delek gas stations, is ideal. The mattress has a pillow-shaped top, and the rest is made of mesh fabric, allowing some water to seep through, so you get the feeling you're floating in water and not on plastic. This keeps your body cooler as well. The price of this mattress is NIS 59.90.
Neka 7 has a very refreshing shampoo and conditioner for the warm weather, with a lemon-mint fragrance. The lemon provides Vitamin C, which prevents oxidation of the hair, especially after exposure to chlorine, sea water, and sun rays; the mint feels refreshing and gives the shampoo a pleasant smell. The price of a big 750 ml. bottle of lemon-mint shampoo or conditioner is NIS 17.
If you have a cold, fever or a headache and have trouble falling asleep as well, Dexamol PM might be helpful. This medicine will help you sleep through the night peacefully, without the addictive effects of sleeping pills. A box containing 20 tablets is NIS 43.30.
Life, the private brand of the SuperPharm chain, has new moist wipes that are a must when traveling with children. The wipes are decorated with amusing pictures of ladybugs, bees, chicks and flowers, and have a sweet, fruity scent. The wipes are handy to use at home, when traveling in the car or when playing with the kids in the park, for example. A package of 40 moist wipes for kids is NIS 8.

Vitacombin is a soothing gel that can be used to heal skin that is sunburnt or has blisters, or after laser treatment or radiation therapy.
