How a Single Product Has Made My Family Safer

As a father of two children I have always been a little concerned about my wife’s curling iron. If you don’t know most curling irons get to well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, more than hot enough to burn the skin of a child who may touch the device on accident. After years of leaving her burning hot iron on the kitchen counter I finally said enough is enough when one of my sons was nearly burned.
Curling Irons scare me as the father of two small children who love to run around the house and grab everything in reach. They reach temperatures of well over 200 degrees (more than hot enough to burn adult flesh) and are often left around the house carelessly.

We had a couple close calls in our home as my wife constantly left her iron out on top of the kitchen sink after finishing with her hair. I wanted to yell at her for doing it but what other option did she really have. It is sad how common it is to leave a hot iron out on the counter today. A week later my son pulled the iron down off the counter, it burnt his arm (not too badly luckily) and the bathroom floor got the worst of it leaving me with a flooring project in the near future.

That’s when I said enough is enough. I made her keep that iron locked away until I saw the Cool Care holder made specifically for irons. It was being talked about on the local news station and I thought it looked like a great idea so I looked up the site and ordered one.

The whole concept behind the device is brilliantly simple. You get two stainless steel tubes that are mounted on top of a circular loop base. There is also a mountable version of the product, but I was satisfied with the table top version of the product.

The tubes have slim vents throughout them to allow heat to pass very quickly. There is a small tube and a large tube and my wife’s iron fit the large tube comfortably. While it is nice not having to worry about the iron damaging your counter tops it also saves room on counters. Instead of laying down your hot iron will be held almost vertically. If you place it at the back of your counter only larger children should be able to gain access to it.

The most valuable part of the product is that the cord coils up very nicely within the bottom of the base. With it coiled there is no risk of a child grabbing it and creating a situation like the one I had at my house. The Cool Care iron holder earned the Parent Test Parent Approved award and I can safely say that it is the quickest way to improve the safety of your home if there is someone who likes to use an iron.

If you are interested in offering the product in your store you can get in touch with Spilo Worldwide they are in charge of bulk orders and distribution to salon outlets. Otherwise you can find it in an H Schultz and Sons or at AmericanBeauty.ws
