Keepin’ it clean Thursdays- Bathroom edition: Cleaners!

Something that I never thought of, when cleaning was keeping it simple.

And simple means- use only ONE cleaner.

Most all-purpose bathroom cleaners do the same thing as those “one use” products do.

So throw out all the extra, and keep one multi-purpose cleaner under the sink (along with a roll of paper towels) in each bathroom for a quick cleanup.

If you have kids that are old enough- let them do the weekly wipe down!

Keepin’ it clean Thursdays: Bathroom Grout

First thing’s first:

DO NOT SCRUB YOUR GROUT!

Why?

You’re doing more damage to your grout, than you are cleaning it.

The best way to get your grout clean is by using a mild bleach solution (1 tablespoon per gallon)- or making it even easier with a bleach pen. I use the Clorox Bleach Pen.

So next time, skip the elbow grease, and bleach the grout!

Keepin’ it clean Tuesday: the Kitchen and the cabinets

Ever notice how your cabinets can get really greasy and gross?

I have the hardest time getting them clean, with my Lysol Wipes or just a regular run of the mill all-purpose cleaner…

Until I gave Dawn a try! Known for its grease-cutting formula, I should have known to try this out first.

All you have to do is get a towel damp (with water), and add a few drops of Dawn. Wipe your cabinets down, then again with a clean towel and you should be set for the next 6 months!

Give it a try- and let me know what you think!
