Spring is finally here and it’s time to get things cleaned and freshened up for the spring and summer season. That means cleaning the outdoor furniture, cushions, pillows, and the hammock. We clean them twice a year, once at the beginning of the season and …
Every winter season I struggle with removing the snow off of my car due to my lack of height! You see, I only stand a little over 5 feet tall. No matter how far I stretch my body, I can never get my entire car …
The fall season is officially here and it’s time for my seasonal fall cleaning. During this time of the year I like to do a deep cleaning before the holiday season arrives. I start with the things outside that need to be cleaned and work my way inside. Before I get started…I walk around with pen and paper making a list of everything that needs to get done.

One product that you’ll always find in my cleaning arsenal is 20 Mule Team Borax Detergent Booster and Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner. I’ve been using it for years all around my home getting things clean. Most people use it in their laundry to boost the power of the detergent to remain stains and odors, but it can do so much more!
For example – You can use it to remove odors from your mattresses, to clean the trash can, to remove dirt and grime from outdoor furniture, to clean and brighten grout, to remove soap scum from tile, to clean the inside of your refrigerator, clean stainless steel, get those pots and pans sparkling clean, to remove grease and food from inside the microwave, and more!
Suggested Use:
Laundry – Add 1/2 cup to every load along with your regular detergent to enhance the cleaning power. Natural alternative to color safe bleach and gentle enough for delicates.
Bathroom – Sprinkle on a damp sponge or cloth and wipe on shower, tub, and tile. Cleans without chemical fumes or scratching, Great for porcelain and fiberglass tubs. Removes soap scum, hard water deposits, and dirt.
Kitchen – Sprinkle on a damp sponge or cloth and wipe on counters and appliances. Put a little in the dishwasher to enhance the power of your dishwashing detergent. Helps to remove grease, dirt, and grime. Will make dishes sparkling clean.
I like to put a 1/2 cup of Borad in a bucket of water and use that to wipe down all of our outdoor furniture. It’s great at removing dirt, grime and mildew. We have white front porch railings and banisters. I wipe them down with the solution to get them sparkling clean. Our swimming pool ladder gets dirty from all of the use…it’s great for cleaning that too.
Place 2 tablespoons into a spray bottle with water. Spray your bird feeders, bird baths, windchimes, garden figures, empty planters, etc. with the solution. If needed use a sponge to losen up debris. Then spray everything down with the garden hose to rinse everything clean. You can use it to clean the kid’s outdoor toys too.
Inside your home you can use it just like any other multi-purpose cleaner. I use it in our laundry, the kitchen, bathroom, my husband’s work room, etc. I like to take our cat’s litter box outside and sprinkle the Borax inside it. Then hit it with the garden hose every other month to keep odors at-bay. It’s great for cleaning those kitty litter boxes!!!
20 Mule Team Borax Detergent Booster and Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner is a must-have in my cleaning arsenal. It’s powerful and can be used all over the home.

Late summer and early fall means a lot of outdoor clean-up around here. Every year we clean our outdoor furniture before putting it away for the season. We then work on cleaning the siding on our house, shutters, wood trim, porch banisters and other outdoor …

I’m one of those people who enjoys cleaning my home. I take great pride in having things neat and organized. Having unannounced guests stop by isn’t something that I worry about. I think everyone learned in 2020-2021 the importance of keeping your home clean to help stop the spread of germs. It’s more important now than ever.

I decided to give it a good workout in my kitchen. I had just spent 8 hours canning tomato sauce, so my kitchen was a mess! I used the scouring pads with a little bit of powder cleanser to clean my double stainless steel sink. It did a fabulous job at removing grease, grime, and food stains. I then used it up around the faucet and knobs. You know…those tiny little areas around there are very hard to clean! It got right in there and cleaned out all of the nasty gunk!
The bottle brush attachment is perfect for those who do home canning! It attaches to the base unit quickly and easily. It fits right down inside your regular mouth and wide mouth canning jars. It got them clean within seconds! All I used was a little bit of liquid dish soap and water. Crystal clean!!!
My husband used it to clean the backsplash behind the kitchen sink and stove. It’s made of ceramic tile and grease and grime splashes up onto the tile and into the grout lines. Using the scour pads he was able to get all of that out. My grout lines are now white and clean. Grease and grime removed.
Moving on to the bathrooms. I used it in both our guest and master bathrooms to clean the sinks, around the faucets, the shower head & tub faucet, etc. We have ceramic shower shelves in both bathrooms to hold bottles and soap bars. The scour heads got all of the dirt and soap scum right off of them. Rinsed them with water and wow…I was done. It only take a few minutes to clean the tub and shower areas!
Master bathroom has a small pedestal style sink. Getting behind the faucet and around the knobs is tough. I like that the spin brush got in there and got the gunk out. We have hard water (well water) and often get a little bit of staining around our sink drains. Well, a little bit of powder cleanser, water and the spin scrubber made quick work of removing the hard water stains! Yeah!!!
This is one of the best, multi-purpose cleaning tools that I’ve ever used. I love that it’s wireless, waterproof and that I get 90 minutes of cleaning time on a full charge. It’s compact in size, fit’s comfortably in my small hands (comfortable in hubby’s large hands) and gets the job done quickly and easily. You’re not spending hours upon hours on a task!
