Spring Cleaning with P&G

Now, you all must know that my house needs a good cleaning every now and then, just like all of yours.  However, I usually get in the mood to clean right around spring time, just like most of you do too.  P&G was gracious and sent me a box to get me started.

First things first, I received the Dawn Ultimate Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty.  Most of us know the best dish-washing liquid is Dawn, it cuts through the grease, if you do a lot of cooking you need this.  What I like most is that it's gentle on my hands too.  I don't come up with dishwater hands afterwards.  You ladies know what I'm talking about, after washing your hands the skin around your nails starts to dry and the backs of your hands usually start to hurt from being so dry.  Not anymore.

Next I moved on to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Select-a-Size.  I love the Magic Eraser and now it comes in a Select-a-Size version!  How awesome!  This helped me clean my baseboards.  Basically, it helps to get rid of dirt by friction.  DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR CHILDREN TO GET OFF MARKERS.  I know this is a little magic in your hands but it attacks the grime and stuck on dirt with friction and removes it without the harsh chemicals.  Now you can use the Magic Eraser for the big, medium, and small jobs.

 

Let's not forget about how many dishes my family goes through in a day.  With three meals, snacks and endless cups of juice, water, and milk you know my dishwasher gets filled most days.  I have a family of five, so I don't have the luxury of running my dishwasher once or twice a week.  So, when I run my dishwasher I want my dishes to come out clean, not iffy.  The Cascade Platinum Pacs work beautifully. According to Cascade.com it's so powerful, it even helps your dishwasher stay sparkling.   

• Delivers Cascade’s best clean with a premium, advanced triple action formula that helps prevent residue on your dishes, and even filming on your machine.
• Scrubs away tough 24 hour stuck-on food.
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes.
• Has the Grease Fighting Power of Dawn.

I also received the Swiffer Sweeper Starter Kit and the Swiffer Sweeper Dry Cloths with Gain Scent.  The Swiffer Sweeper was a cinch to put together.  Practically a "one, two, three" job.  I really like how it can be broken down just as easy for storage.  I don't have a pantry or broom closet.  I either have my broom laying around my house for everyone to see or it's in my basement.  I really hate storing it in my basement.  More than the storage of this awesome Sweeper I love the way it works.  It actually attracts the dust (and I promise there is lots of dust in my house).   The Swiffer Sweeper worked so well that I started doing my ceiling fans with it!  The Swiffer Sweeper Dry Cloths with Gain Scent just put a bonus on cleaning!

Finally, cleaning isn't all about what you see.  Sometimes you can have a spotless but smelly home.  I would much rather have my mess of a house than a smelly one, and believe me, it's smelly sometimes, especially the cabinet that holds our garbage can.  We put it in a cabinet to keep the smell at bay.  Luckily, I also received the new Febreeze Stick & Refresh in Fresh Meadow.  This took no time to place in the cabinet and it's not in the way since it's stuck to the door.   I had actually placed it in a bad place of the cabinet door, so I had to take it off and put it back up.  There was no problem doing this at all.  The best part is that almost a month later it still smells pretty amazing every single time I open that cabinet.  

Thank you P&G for making cleaning up the Messy House a little easier!
