Growing up i always wanted to have a home that always smelt good when I was older. Do you remember the home in high school that smelled the best? I do – the Champlin’s + my sister married him + for some reason that always stuck with me + something I wanted in my home.
I found a sweet lady to help me deep clean my house once a month + it has helped me stay more on top of my daily tasks. I work 2 days a week + so the days I’m home with the boys I want to be more hands on + not deep cleaning my toilets.
Something I’m looking super forward to is having a place for everything. Right now it seems we tend to collect clutter often, because we outgrew our space the day we moved in. Either way I suggest getting rid of something every time you get something new. I have a dear friend who is SO GOOD at this concept. I’m slowly getting there. (poshmark sale soon?)
I can testify on how much a tidy home helps clean up my mind. Here are a few products that I have shared online, but wanted to give a home to for you to reference back later if needed.
PRODUCTS :
FOLEX CARPET CLEANER | the lady at restoration hardware led me on to this cleaner + I’ve gifted to all of my neighbors. I have used it on our car seat, carpets + even couch. It is magic + will lifts ANY stains like none other.
FELS-NAPTHA | best $1 you’ll ever spend. Only thing I have found to get chocolate frosty out + anything that has been sitting on there for a hot sec. I like to scrub both sides of the fabric where the stain is + for an extra stain remover you can set it out in the sun for a few hours when drying.
SHARK VACMOP| Just got this 2-in-1 vacuum mop + sooooo freaking stoked to try it out. I like that it can mop + vacuum for a quick clean + you don’t have to have 2 tools in your closet, under $100!
- In the past I’ve used this mop, that my cleaning lady introduced me too + this vacuum if you’re looking to keep your tools separate.
MICROBAN 24 | keeps the surface clean for 24 hours after you sanitize. YES 24 HOURS. I watched it under a microscope to be sure, in Microban’s lab. Honored to partner with them this last year + I straight up asked to do another post just because I literally tell everyone I know about them. Such a game changing product!
COUNTER CLEANER | This is the cleaner I use for my kitchen countertops + have for years. It cleans really well + I love the smell.
Creating a cleaning schedule for our house has been amazing for our family + makes our lives feel less chaotic! We just do a few little tasks, daily. We don’t always follow it perfectly but implementing a schedule helps keep us on track.
Do you have a set cleaning schedule? Are your kids involved in helping clean your house or do you leave it up to a cleaning service? This is our favorite chore chart. I’d love to hear your thoughts on kids helping with chores – share below.
