Show Us Your Life: Cleaning Tips

This week on "Show Us Your Life," by Kelly's Korner, cleaning tips were discussed and shared.

I wouldn't consider myself a "neat freak" by any means. I don't have to have my house immaculately clean 24/7. However, there are things that I have to do every day to make myself feel sane. 

1. Our bed has to be made everyday. It just gives the feel of an organized and well-kept bedroom. 

2. All clothes are either hung up at the end of the day or put in the dirty laundry basket. I can't stand it when clothes are just lying on the floor. 

3. I don't like going to bed knowing that dirty dishes are in the sink. I usually try to either put the dishes in the dishwasher before I go to bed; however that doesn't always happen. If I don't do it at night, I will get up the next day.

I usually deep-clean once per week. I used to deep-clean on Saturdays, but recently, I've been doing my "major" cleaning on Fridays right after I get home from work. I really like NOT cleaning on a Saturdays because then I have the entire day to rest and relax. Ahhh... Here are some of my fav products:

1. The Clorox Green Works Products

I really like the Green Works line because all of the products are made with natural ingredients. The one thing I have always hated about cleaning is smelling the awful, toxic, strong smells of the chemicals that could potentially give me a headache later on. I don't have to worry about smelling a toxic smells with the Green Works line. Another reason I love this line is because it actually cleans very well! :)

2. Vinegar

I love cleaning with vinegar. It removes any bad smell that may be lurking around. Vinegar cleans deep down. It is absolutely amazing! Also, it's a safe cleaning product that won't cause any harm to our health. I mix it with almost all of my cleaning products.

3. Anti-bacterial Wipes

I love using disinfecting wipes on our counter tops. The wipes gets rid of nasty germs that you can't see. Using them just makes our kitchen and bathrooms seem and feel cleaner. LOVE THEM! 

4. Soft Scrub

When cleaning our bathrooms (especially our showers/tubs), my must use product is Soft Scrub. It removes almost everything and gives our showers/tubs that sparkling, bright look that makes me feel clean! One downside of this product though is the smell. It has a strong smell, but it is very powerful when removing grime.
