(StatePoint) Running a household can be stressful, so finding a way to streamline your routine is a must. While you may have short-cuts and tricks already in place, stocking your home with the best supplies and most innovative products will help to make each day even easier.
How can you find the best products for your family? “Product of the Year,” the world’s largest consumer-voted award for product innovation backed by the votes of 40,000 consumers, is a great source for learning about great products introduced each year. The list of winners can serve as a helpful guide when navigating store aisles, and here are some of this year’s highlights:
• Keep your car looking great for the daily commute with a multitasking cleaner. The Turtle Wax Dash & Glass, the Car Care category winner, uses a proprietary formula for streak-free cleaning of both dashboards and windows.
• Don’t cover laundry odors, neutralize and prevent them. The new Downy Fresh Protect helps you get more out of each load by infusing fabrics with motion-activated technology to keep clothes smelling fresh no matter how active you and your family are each day.
• With the right tools, you can skip the prices and the lines of the salon. Buff away thick and stubborn skin, extending the life of pedicures with the Amopé Pedi Perfect Extra Coarse Electronic Foot File with Diamond Crystals, which exfoliates to reveal beautiful feet.

• Want to indulge without the guilt? The Skinny Cow Dipped Ice Cream Bars fulfill ice cream cravings for only 190 calories each.
