Now that we all have Spring Cleaning on our minds I thought it would be the perfect time to go over some of our favorite household cleaning products! I love picking out fresh scents and new products for the season; it really helps me get excited about cleaning. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean DayFrom the sleek, colorful packaging to the simple, garden inspired scents, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day has been a household favorite of mine for years. We regularly use their dish soap, hand soap and room freshener though their product list is much more extensive than that. Mrs. Meyer’s products are made with cruelty-free formulas containing essential oils and other thoughtfully chosen ingredients. They are formulated for use in a home with children and pets. I love that the range of products all come in every scent so that you can choose a singular scent for your home or for each bathroom, kitchen, etc. Our favorite scents are Honeysuckle, Pear Tree (Limited Edition), Lavender and Lemon Verbena. Shop Mrs. Meyers by clicking HERE. Cordless VacuumA powerful vacuum is a household essential and I find a cordless, lightweight vacuum to be incredibly helpful. Being able to move around the house as you please without having to unplug the vacuum or worry about tripping over the cord is so convenient. This particular one is available on Amazon and comes with multiple attachments which make cleaning sofas, mattresses, cars, cribs, mattresses, etc. much easier. Shop this cordless vacuum on Amazon HERE. Multi-Surface Spray MopFor quick, easy mopping I love to use my spray mop after vacuuming up the crumbs and dirt. I’ve had this one for years and it does a great job of cleaning hard surface floors without having to get down on your hands and knees or use a bucket of water. The residue-free cleaner it comes with has a light, pleasant scent and the microfiber cleaning pad can be tossed right into the washing machine. Shop this spray mop HERE. Bathroom CleanerWhen it comes to bathroom cleaner, I don’t mess around. I look for products that get the job done quickly and efficiently. I love these Oxi Clean multi-purpose disinfectants. They can be found at most major retailers/grocery stores which also makes it an easy, convenient purchase. Not only do I feel good knowing it kills 99.9% of bacteria but I also enjoy both the citrus and fresh scents. They make my bathrooms smell so clean without being too overpowering. Shop Oxi Clean on Amazon HERE. Microfiber Cleaning ClothsThese are a must if your desire streak-free, lint-free results when cleaning. Microfiber cloths are great on household surfaces as well as in vehicles and boats. They are very absorbent, dry quickly, are durable and are machine washable so you’re able to use them hundreds of times. They come in multiple color options too! Shop microfiber cleaning cloths HERE. Mr. Clean Magic EraserMagic Erasers have been trending the last few years and for good reason: they do wonders on a wide range of surfaces! They provide a powerful clean with no harsh chemicals added. Simply wet, squeeze and get to cleaning. They can be used to clean anything kitchen messes and bathtubs to car wheels, shoes and outdoor furniture. Shop Magic Erasers HERE. What household products and cleaners do you use and love?

It’s that time of year again! Birds are chirping, sun is shining (at least sometimes!) and we are getting eager to organize, declutter and refresh. Spring cleaning can be daunting but when you break it down into smaller tasks and go at it one at a time it’s far more manageable. Whether you are looking to list your house soon to sell or just looking to start fresh, the rewards of spending some time now to spring clean and declutter can make a big difference in your daily life going forward. Many tasks can be easily missed with routine weekly cleaning and organizing so we’ve created a round up of spring cleaning tasks to check off this year. Interior Tasks•change decor •clean baseboards •wipe down furniture •vacuum under and between couch cushions •clean out refrigerator •clean out freezer •dust ceiling fans •dust skylights •dust vents •clean out pantry and organize •vacuum curtains •replace air filters •toss old and expired makeup •toss old and expired pantry items •toss expired medicine •clean out nightstands •replace burnt out lightbulbs •touch up any scuffs on the walls •fix anything that’s broken Exterior Tasks•wipe patio furniture •wash patio furniture cushions •wipe window panes •wipe down decor (outdoor lanterns, candles, tables, etc) •repair any damaged fencing, deck/patio, etc •replenish bark •pull weeds •pull and replace dead flowers, bushes, etc •replace burnt out lightbulbs •pressure wash or spray off driveway, sidewalks, patio(s) •fix anything that’s broken Items to Declutter•winter clothing and shoes that did not get worn/too small •kid’s bikes, scooters, roller blades, etc that they’ve outgrown •old towels •excess kitchenware **Bonus Task**Clean out your car!
