BUMP IT OFF Silicone Cleaning ScrubbersIf you haven’t already guessed, I’m a self-professed neat and clean freak. I’m one of those “rare” people who enjoys cleaning her home and making it nice & inviting for my family. I love to have everything clean, neatly organized and in its proper place. It brings me JOY!

Three times a year I give my home a good overall cleaning! I do it in the spring, the middle of summer and again in fall…to prepare for the upcoming holidays. By doing a deep cleaning three times a year, it keeps my home organized, clean and clutter-free. If you let things pile up, it will take you longer to clean in the long run!

BUMP IT OFF Silicone Cleaning Scrubbers

A couple of months ago Bailey introduced you to a cleaning product called BUMP IT OFF. You can revisit her post to read her particular thoughts on the product and how she used BUMP IT OFF on various cleaning projects around her home.

The company generously sent me a set of them too and now its my turn to share my thoughts with all of you.

BUMP IT OFF is a reusable silicone sleeve that fits on your hand in four different positions, enabling you to concentrate scrubbing power in the palm of your hand. With gentle silicone bristles on one side and smooth bumps on the other, BUMP IT OFF has endless cleaning applications in every room of your home.

BUMP IT OFF Silicone Cleaning Scrubbers

I decided to test them out in my custom-made master bathroom. This particular bathroom can be a real “bear” to clean. My husband built a stand-up 2-person shower that is quite large. It has 3 shower heads and a bench inside it. While I love the shower, it can be a nightmare to clean.

The BUMP IT OFF did a really get job at getting soap scum, dirt and gunk out of the grout from around each of the tiles. I used it on the tiled walls and the tiled shower floor and got equally great results. Definitely much nicer than using a regular sponge that doesn’t work & fall’s apart. In addition, I really liked using it to clean out the shower door track! Oh my gosh, there was a ton of soap scum, dirt & hair in that shower door track and the BUMP IT OFF fit down into the track perfectly and got all of that nasty stuff out of there!

Another place that I liked using the BUMP IT OFF was around my sink’s fixtures! We have a little white pedestal sink in our master bathroom and its really hard to get your hands & fingers behind the fixture (between the fixture and the wall) to get the soap scum, dirt & gunk out. It’s such a tiny space back there and I was able to use the product with ease to get all of that nasty crap cleaned out and looking pretty!

This is not like a traditional sponge at all, it doesn’t soak up liquids. It’s made for cleaning and is more like a scrubber that fits onto your hand. It’s reusable and can be used over & over again! After your done using it, simply clean it in the sink or toss it into the dishwasher to get it clean.

You can learn more about BUMP IT OFF by visiting the company’s website online. Plus, please take the time to check out Bailey’s review on BUMP IT OFF to see how she used it around her own home.

Using Microfiber Cleaning Cloths to Clean My Home

Using Microfiber Cleaning Cloths to Clean My Home

e-Cloth Microfiber Cleaning Cloths Home Starter KitI admit, I’m a self-professed neat & clean fanatic. Over the past 7 years, I’ve shared many of my cleaning tips and hacks right here on the blog. While I enjoy cleaning my home…I want the products that I use to WORK and I want them to work quickly. I enjoy cleaning…I just don’t enjoy doing it all day long.

A few years ago I was introduced to microfiber cleaning cloths and over the years, I’ve bought many of them. Some of them have been decent and others, well, not so good. Not all microfiber cleaning cloths are created equally, so I’m pretty particular about the ones that I buy.

Buying Tips from Shelly: Always check out the sizes of the cloths! Make sure that the size you’re buying will fit comfortably in your hand. You don’t want the cloth too small, nor too large. Touch them to check out their thickness. I like medium-weight cleaning cloths which do the best job. Look at the stitched edging that goes around the outer edge of the cloth. I like the ones that have great over-locked stitched edges which prevents frayed edges over time. The one’s I’m featuring today…meet ALL of Shelly’s requirements!

Let me introduce you to my NEW favorites, the e-cloth Microfiber Cleaning Cloths that come in a Home Starter Kit containing 3 cloths. These cloths offer you quick, easy and chemical-free cleaning! They can be used to clean every room in your home!

e-Cloth Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

The 3-piece kit includes:  Bathroom Cloth (blue), General Purpose Cloth (lilac), and Glass & Polishing Cloth (tan).

Product Features + Benefits:

· Bathroom Cloth removes excess water, greasy grime, soap scum and over 99% of bacteria from bathroom surfaces including bathtubs, showers, sinks, tile, and countertops.

· Guaranteed for 300 machine washes.

I’ve been using this starter set to clean my home for over 2 weeks now, which means I’m using them every day. I love the size, shape and thickness of each one. I really LOVE that each cleaning cloth is a different color, so I can assign them to particular rooms or particular cleaning  job.

For the past 2 weeks I’ve used them to clean my kitchen, bathrooms, the baby’s toys, mirrors & windows around my home and all kinds of things. You know, your daily & weekly cleaning chores! One of the things I LOVE using them for is to clean the inside of my refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and indoor grill. You never want to use chemicals to clean food surfaces and using microfiber cleaning cloths are perfect for those jobs!

e-Cloth Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

A few days ago I used one of the e-cloth microfiber cleaning cloths to give my dining room table, chairs, kitchen table & chairs, countertops and even the baby’s highchair a good overall cleaning! I mean I wiped them all down from top to bottom and side to side! Wow…I didn’t realize how grimy everything was and I’m constantly wiping those things down. The cleaning cloths got dirt & grime that I wasn’t even seeing. Yay for that!!!

When it comes to bathroom cleaning…they are the BEST things ever! You can clean you shower doors, tub walls, bathtub, sinks, toilets, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, etc. with that bathroom cleaning cloth. It does it all. Then once you’re done…go over your glass, mirrors & fixtures with that Glass & Polishing Cloth to shine everything right up.

If you’re looking for a natural and chemical-free way to clean your home…you’ve got to switch over to microfiber cleaning cloths and you’ll find the BEST ONES (in my honest opinion) at e-cloth. These are the perfect things to clean your home naturally and all you’ll need is their cleaning cloths and water!
