I admit it, I’m a laundry detergent snob. For the past decade I’ve been using 2 name brand laundry detergents because I like how well they clean and how nice our clothing smells after laundering them. The one thing that I didn’t like was the …
Baylis & Harding Goodness is the UK’s #1 decor hand wash brand and now they’ve come to the U.S.A. with a launch in Target stores and Target.com. Each carefully blended plant-based formula is vegan, dermatologist approved and 98% naturally derived. The 4 scent options are: …
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, school lockers, etc. and then you touch them with your hands and face! Ewwww! Gross. Disgusting.

Shortly after the start of the China Corona Virus Covid-19 I ordered a Portable Cellphone Sterilizer Sanitizer. It’s one of the best investments that I’ve made in years! Seriously, I should of purchased one a long time ago to help keep my family safe. Its even more important now!
You’ll find several different brands out in the retail marketplace and they’re affordable. We have one in our household, my daughter and mother both have them in their households. All three of us own and use different brands.
The one that we personally own and use is made by Homedics and is really easy to use. You can use it to sanitize your cellphones, keys, jewelry, toothbrushes, hair brushes, paper money, ear buds, coins, your wallet, eyeglasses, sunglasses, eyeglass cases, TV remote controls, etc. Most things are safe to place inside it! You’ll want to read the instructions that comes with the type of unit that you specifically buy since there are variations among the companies that make them.
Every day we place our phones, keys and money inside our sanitizer and clean them. For the most part it only takes 1-3 minutes. We sanitize one side and once it’s finished we open it up, flip the items over and sanitize the other side. Fast and easy!
Once a week I go around the house scooping up those little touched a-lot type of items like remote controls, worn every day jewelry, small items from my handbag, money from our wallets, etc. I do those type’s of items at least once a week, sometimes twice a week if we’ve been out running errands, etc.
I know that the majority of us are doing everything we can to help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. If you don’t use a cellphone sanitizer sterilizer please make sure you’re manually cleaning your cellphone on a daily basis. We all need to do what we can to keep our families safe.

Carrying hand sanitizer around has become common practice for those looking to keep their hands free of germs as much as possible. After all, these tiny bottles of alcohol-based gels are easy to carry around and pull out to use when soap and water isn’t …
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 …
A year ago we became pet parents for the first time. In April 2019 we rescued and adopted an adult male cat. Then in December 2019 we rescued and adopted a small kitten. Over the course of a year we learned a lot about how to take care of our beloved furry friends and how to keep their things clean.

Cats by nature are very clean animals. They will bath themselves multiple times a day. They like everything around them to be clean…this includes their cat beds, toys, play areas, food dishes, pet carriers, etc. When cleaning things you need to use a non-toxic or natural cleaner that is safe for use around your pets.
We do a lot of traveling and we take our furry friends in for regular vet and grooming appointments. To transport our cat to and from various places he rides in a pet or cat carrier. We prefer using a hard-sided carrier which is easier to clean!
The first thing you want to do is remove anything that is inside your carrier…toys, blanket, feeding dishes, whatever. Everything must come out! You will wipe those items down and clean them separately.
I like to take our pet carrier outside where its easy to clean. I spray it down with our garden hose…inside and out. If you can pop off the top…do it…and clean each piece separately. After you have “hosed” out all of the visible dirt and debris its time to your spray cleaning.
I buy non-toxic, pet-safe, all-purpose cleaners from Amazon. There are several different companies that make them. Read all of the directions and precisely follow them. You don’t want to over-dilute or under-dilute the product that you’re using. Spray the cleaner inside and outside of the carrier…make sure you get it into all of the nooks and crannies. Follow the instructions on the package on how long you should let the product sit. You can use a clean cotton cloth to wipe down the inside and outside to help remove stubborn dirt and stains. Treat those stubborn areas a second time.
Once I’m done cleaning it I like to spray it down with our garden hose to completely rinse it. Make sure you open up all of the access doors and turn it upside down to help let the water drain out. Let it air dry on a nice warm day.
How often should you clean your pet carrier? In my honest opinion…it should be done every time you use it. Keeping it clean will stop the spread of viruses, parasites, and bacteria that can make you and/or your pet sick!
