How many of you enjoy doing your family’s laundry? Unlike most people, I actually enjoy laundry day and it’s one of the household chores that I don’t mind doing. I would rather wash & dry clothes, than clean a bathroom! Just Saying… * Complimentary Product …
Over the years I’ve told you all how much I enjoy cleaning my home. That’s right, I actually enjoy cleaning my home! I don’t mind loading my dishwasher, doing the laundry, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, running the vacuum and all of the things that have …
I’m 69 years old and with old age comes mobility issues. Over the past 7 years I’ve had issues bending down, picking things up, carrying heavy things around, etc. Cleaning at times can be cumbersome and painful, depending on the task. Now that I’m older, I’m looking for cleaning products and tools to make my life easier.

Last month I found the Drag All-in-One Hand-Push Spin Broom over on Amazon and decided to purchase it. I have a lot of hardwood and tiled flooring in my townhouse and dragging out a vacuum for quick clean-ups is a hassle. I wanted something lightweight, easy-to-use and cord-free.
The handle is made out of light-weight stainless steel while the broom is made out of light-weight plastic. There are rotating bristle brushes underneath that help to push dust and dirt into the attached pan. When not in use you can store it in a closet, behind a door or hang it up.
I like my new push broom sweeper and use it for quick jobs. It does a decent job at picking up fuzz balls, dust, dirt, cracker crumbs, dry cereal, etc. I do have to go over the area 2-3 times to get it all. I would not recommend it for heavy-duty cleaning jobs, for heavier items/spills and certainly not for “wet” clean-up jobs.
With my limited mobility issues I like that I don’t have to bend over and pick up light-weight items or crumbs from my floor all day long. I don’t have to drag out my heavy vacuum everyday. I use this broom sweeper for quick jobs only and like I previously stated, I wouldn’t recommend it for your heavy-duty cleaning needs.
If I had to rate this product on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, I would rate it about a 7 on that scale. It’s not for everyone and I wouldn’t use it in a household full of kids or pets who make a lot of messes. It’s a decent cleaning tool for a senior like me who lives alone and has mobility issues.

It wasn’t until I got my front-loading high-efficiency (HE) washing machine that I realized how important it is to regularly clean the washer itself. Like many front-loaders, it frequently developed a musty smell. My new machine is a top-loader and doesn’t have that problem, but …
Over the past few months I’ve been sharing with all of you some of my favorite homemade and DIY cleaning recipes. The recipes that I’ve been sharing with you are ones that I personally use in and around my home. I’m pretty happy that I’ve …
How many of you own those handy-dandy Swiffer mops? I know I do! Matter of fact, I own two of them and use them all of the time when cleaning the floors in my home. I love that they’re light-weight, take up very little space and that they’re easy-to-use.
While I love my Swiffer mop, I don’t enjoy running out to the store every 2 weeks to buy those Swiffer mop pad refills. It’s inconvenient, expensive and well, they’re not very eco-friendly at all.
Instead…I purchased a pack of micro-fiber cleaning cloths and use them to clean my floors! They attach right onto the bottom of your Swiffer mop and are 100% reusable! Just toss them into your washing machine and hang them up to air dry. You never want to use fabric softener when laundering them and it’s best to air dry them.
You can use just plain tap water, a store-bought floor cleaner or whip up your own homemade solution to clean-up your floors. In addition, you can use them when “dry dusting” your floors too! The micro-fiber cloths that I purchased fit perfectly onto the bottom of my mop and I use them all of the time!
A few more great uses: Use the Swiffer mop with the micro-fiber cloths to wipe down your outside house siding (great way to remove winter debris), to scrub down the inside of your swimming pool and pool ladder, wash the roof of your car, wash down your outdoor lawn furniture and more! You can use it for more jobs than just cleaning your floors!
You can find some great homemade cleaning solution recipes right here on the blog. If you’re looking for a fabulous outdoor cleaning solution that works great on cleaning up your home’s siding, the outdoor furniture, the kid’s toys, etc. I highly recommend Krud Kutter! We use it all of the time on our outdoor cleaning projects.

As an ex-medical professional, I’m a big hand washer. I will wash and dry my hands at least 10+ times every day. As you can imagine, my hands get very dry from all of the hand washing that I do, but washing your hands regularly …
It’s March, and that means spring cleaning is on the horizon. As with beauty and culinary pursuits, lemons and other citrus fruits can also support DIY cleaning endeavors. Citrus fruits retain seemingly endless properties that make them the DIY spring-cleaner’s secret weapon and a key …
