Did you know that cellphones are one of the germiest items that you come into contact with on a daily basis? That’s right…they’re loaded with germs and bacteria. They come into contact with dirty counter-tops, tables, car seats, the bottom of your handbag, desk drawers, …

It’s that time of the year and spring cleaning has begun. If I’m being honest with you…I do big seasonal cleanings four times every year. Just not during the springtime. To get started I’ll go room to room making a list of everything that needs to be cleaned and things that need to be re-organized. Once I have a list compiled I’ll head out to the store to pick up supplies.

Which reminds me…you should be replacing your brooms, dust pans, mop heads, toilet cleaning brushes, household sponges, etc. on a regular basis. If you’re not replacing them…make sure you’re cleaning them!!!
Last weekend I got busy cleaning all of our trash cans. This includes the kitchen trash can, the small waste baskets in all bedrooms & bathrooms, the medium-sized trash can in the home office and our two large outdoor garbage cans. Phew…that’s a lot of cans!
The best time to clean them is during a beautiful weather day. I know, the last thing you want to do when the weather is nice is CLEAN!
I take all of them outside and prepare them for cleaning. I like to use our garden hose to thoroughly rinse them down…inside and out! When it comes to disinfectant I love using Pine-Sol Original All-Purpose Cleaner. It does a great job at killing germs plus it smells nice too!
Add a gallon or two of water to your large cans and a 1/4 cup of Pine-Sol. For your smaller cans add a few inches of water and 1-2 cap-fulls of product. I like to let them sit and soak for about 30 minutes. I then use a cotton cloth to wipe them down inside and out. Once done I’ll dump them out in a special area on our property or you can pour the water down your drain. Use the garden hose again to rinse them out. Let them air dry in the sunshine!
When it comes to our large outdoor garbage cans I just spray 3-4 gallons of water inside each one and add a 1/2 cup of Pine-Sol. Let them sit for an hour. Dump out the water and rinse with your garden hose until clean. Let air dry. Yes…you should be cleaning them which helps to cut down germs and foul odors. They get nasty-stinky when you don’t clean them!

Let me introduce you to the eco-friendly Premium Scour Pads and Dish Scrubs from Paperless Kitchen. These scour pads are sold 4 to a pack and are made out of 100% natural organic fibers. Each one measures 6 1/2″ by 5″ in size…so they’re the perfect workhorse for your general cleaning tasks.
The cleaning pads are safe for you to use on a wide variety of different surfaces. Use them to clean dirt, food, debris, etc. from glass, ceramic, teflon, plastic, formica, and more! To clean them you can toss them into your washing machine or top-rack dishwasher safe.
I’ve been testing out these Premium Scour Pads from Paperless Kitchen for the past 2 weeks. One of the things I love about them is their size and thickness. They fit comfortably in my hand and they’re the perfect thickness. They’re not bulky, nor flimsy, just right!
We like to make a homemade pizza every 2-3 weeks and if you’ve made one you know how icky and gross your pizza pan can get. No matter how careful we are, we always get burnt on cheese and sauce on the pan. In the past I used to let my pan soak before I tried to scrub it…but now that I have these premium scour pads I can clean the pizza pan right away! It easily gets all of the burnt cheese & sauce off the pan and doesn’t scratch the pan’s surface.
The scour pads aka dish scrubs are great for scrubbing all of your glass and metal baking pans, cookware, etc. As a person who does a lot of home canning, I’ve been using them to scrub out the inside of my mason jars and they’re the perfect size for that! You should have at least one of them beside your kitchen sink!
Now let’s talk about cleaning up things around your kitchen. We have a glass top range and oven. That top gets extremely dirty and can be really hard to clean. I like to spritz soapy water onto the top of my range and scrub the top down with one of these pads. It quickly and easily gets off all of the debris! Our oven has a front glass window that gets extremely dirty no matter how careful I am when I’m baking. That crud gets hard, crusty and baked-on…really hard to clean off. Well, not any more! Just spray it with some soapy water…let it sit for 3-4 minutes and then scrub-off all of that nasty burnt-on debris! As an added bonus…it’s great for removing stubborn grease spots too!
Last weekend I used one of the Paperless Kitchen Premium Scour Pads to scrub up our patio furniture before storing it for the winter season. All you need to do is use a little bit of soapy water on your patio furniture…use the scour pad to knock off the dirt and debris and rinse clean with your garden hose. Let everything air dry before storing it away for the season. Typically its a chore I don’t enjoy but these scrubbing pads made it a breeze!
They’re perfect for in your bathroom too! I’ve used them to remove dirt and soap scum from our bathtub, shower, shower doors, bathroom tile, faucets, etc. Again, they won’t scratch the surface and they work quickly & easily to clean up the mess. You can use just plain water, a little soap or your favorite eco-friendly cleaning products when using them.
You can purchase the Paperless Kitchen Premium Scour Pads Scrub Cloths from Amazon for a really great price. They’re available in 2-pack, 4-pack, 8-pack and 12-packs and in my honest opinion…a must-have when cleaning your home!
