the best cleaning supplies. (in my humble opinion).

i'm full in the midst of my spring cleaning redecorating.
and i have oh so much to show you.
but... i can't forget to mention my NEW FAVORITE thing.

i have gotten rid of these...

and fell in love with these...

Don Aslett, he's my man.  If he can't do it, no one can.--
RAH!  RAH!!
want to spend money on CLEANING SUPPLIES??
go here!! (http://www.cleanreport.com/)
personally, i love everything i've bought from him.
 
1.  For FLOORS.
My floors are TILE.  dirt brown tile. with grout and texture.
I have a love/hate relationship with mopping and sweeping.
My floors need lots of TLC, but i hate sweeping and still seeing junk on the floor.
I hate mopping and it still seems dirty or streaky.
WHY?! when my time is precious would i want to spend time for less than optimal results.
at christmas time i splurged on a swiffer wet jet.
many i know love this.
i hate it.
yes, it's easy, but i never felt that my floor was clean.
i hate the "ripping of a maxi-pad" feeling
i hate the streaks
i hate the "i have to buy more stuff before i can clean" feeling.
i like this kind of "broom"

and a reusable, washable, microfiber mop.
just spray and wipe.

i use this dust broom-- every day.

i mop about twice a week.  (Bathrooms and entryway, once.  Kitchen, at least twice.)
If i'm feeling clean-y i take a wet microfiber rag and spray and wipe all the edges and corners by hand after i sweep.  Then i wet-mop.
I've tried MANY, MANY products and don has my favorite.
Clean and Brite--- it's a concentrate that you just pour into a spray bottle and add water.
love it.

2. For BATHROOMS.
E-A-S-Y.
that's why i like this stuff.
the johnny mop- quick and FUN for toilets.  (I do this once a week, unless i see a yucky toilet in between)
bathroom spray for counters and quick wipe-downs (I do this probably twice a week-- takes 30 seconds!)

mirrors with window spray.

and this magical stuff for hardwater--- showers and tubs (I do this about once a month)
seriously-- MAGIC.

3.  DUSTING.
i did like swiffer dusters.
but, i like this better.

i keep this cute mit in my little cleaning caddy and just swipe dust.
I can see the dirt on the mit, and when I'm done I just wash the mit... no re-buying.
Ever.

4. SPRAYS n stuff.
I really like having 4 types of cleaner that I use for everything.

bathroom (this is a disinfectant- i also use it on my kitchen).
heavy duty cleaner (this is for greasy, hard to clean things).
fake windex.  (i also bought don's outdoor squeegie and wiper and joy-see the video below...  to do the outside of my windows, but i like my fake windex for quick cleaning.)
clean and brite (for floors).

i used to use a lot of swiffer stuff and clorox wipes- now i use spray bottles and washable microfiber.
and, i love it.
i like don's heavy duty spray bottles and his cute little packages of stuff.  You just fill your bottle to the line with water and add the package of concentrate.  I hate throwing out plastic bottles- this way i don't have to.
it just feels good and smart to use less.

 AND- these are the cleaning supplies our church uses in all their temples and church buildings.  I'm sure of it.

What I bought.
-Complete Cleaning Kit (note- the mop handle and the wet/dry mop come with this kit)
(http://www.cleanreport.com/p941/Complete-Cleaning-Kit/product_info.html)
- Mini Pro Dust Mop- just the attachment
(http://www.cleanreport.com/p1152/Mini-Pro-Dust-Mop-Complete/product_info.html)
-window squeegie and yellow wiper
(http://www.cleanreport.com/p933/Window-Scrubber/product_info.html)

-wood and furniture polish for my cabinets
(http://www.cleanreport.com/p1126/Wood-&-Furniture-Polish/product_info.html)
-and extra bothroom, window and heavy duty cleaning packs
(http://www.cleanreport.com/p884/Heavy-Duty-Cleaner/product_info.html)

What I wish i bought.
-an extra clean and brite (so i don't have to reorder forever)
-an extra wet/dry mop pad
(because i want two in case i mop before i do laundry- although they are not hard to rinse out in the sink).

That's all my cleaning goodness.
i cleaned my house yesterday, so today, i'm feelin' all CLEAN and BRITE!!
don- love him!  and, if he came and cleaned my house, the professor just might be in trouble...
