Clean Clean Clean

So what is your favorite cleaning product? We all have one that we love and that we would hate to give up. Or maybe you have a special trick to save some time on tasks that you really hate.

I hate ironing. I am to much of a perfectionist when it comes to ironing so it takes me forever. For a long time I just took everything to the dry cleaners because I thought it was easier and saved me a ton of time. I would drop them off in the morning and then I would pick them up on my way home from work. Now that is a huge time saver. However, when I had Grant it was a different story and the dry cleaner wasn't really cleaning the clothes like I wanted. So for a little while I would wash them myself and still take them to the dryer cleaner for another clean and press. But I was still disappointed and decided that I should probably save the $25 a month and just do it myself. Don't get me wrong there are still some items that I have to take to the cleaners because washing them just doesn't work (I tried but it was a failed attempt).

Are you asking yourself what I use to save time on the ironing. Well I still don't iron and only iron when I have too. I actually use liquid starch. I mix 1/2 water and 1/2 liquid starch in a spray bottle and spray my clothes when they come out of the dryer and then hang them up. It works miracles. Of course you don't get the clean pressed lines that I like but it works great for t-shirts and pants. Give it a try....

Tell me what is your favorite cleaning product or cleaning tip???

Swiffer dusters and Clorox toilet wand. I recently picked up these two products and love them! I think they make cleaning funner. And the Swiffer dusters are so much more efficient than my old way of dusting. I also tried two products that weren't worth it: Windex wipes and Pledge dusting wipes. Not recommended.

I LOVE Clorox or Lysol wipes! They are great for quick clean up & actually work. The only downfall is you have to be cautious with the Clorox ones on white surfaces b/c over time it can yellow them. Also, it's not a cleaning "product"
but I could not live without my central vac! I absolutely do not regret spending the few hundred extra to have it! TOTALLY worth every dime.

I would have to say that my favorite cleaning product is a magic eraser. I clean everything with them. One time I saw Aunt Susan cleaning her bathroom with vinegar and a magic eraser and that is how I do it now. It cleans it really well. I also use magic erasers for toys, my floor, permanent marker(drawn anywhere), wood, my couch, everywhere!
