items I think cleaning should be easy and rewarding when you’re done! That means I buy products that actually work along with the right tools (on a budget of course) and everything HAS to smell good!

Anything and everything you can use to clean your home! Everything is scented. I am not an all natural girl so if that’s your thing these recommendations may not be of use but the cleaning tools definitely will still help!
This glass cleaner is so fresh smelling. It reminds me of a brand new car. I’m not sure if this is meant for cars or not but I use it in all my mirrors! Leaves them streak free. I use any only rag with it!
Sprayway Glass Cleaner Aerosol, 19 Oz
As far as cleaners go I feel like this is more of a splurge item, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s very sweet smelling but not in a nauseous way. Good for anything wood! They make it in a floor cleaner as well which I’ve used and liked. This I use ...
Method Daily Wood Cleaner, Almond, 28 Ounce
I always use a splash of this bleach cleaner in my mop buckets. I have dogs so I like the peace of mind bleach gives me. I can rest easy knowing my floors are CLEAN. Plus it always smells nice. I don’t use the bleach you commonly see in laundry rooms...
Great Value Cleaner with Bleach, 32 fl oz
This powder is tried and true! Only thing I use in my showers. I prefer this one with the bleach over the green one. But the green one works well too! As mentioned I just love the clean bleached smell.
Ajax All-Purpose Powder Cleaner with Bleach 21 oz
I use oxi clean on allll my towels and bedding. I don’t use it on clothes because I’m afraid of fading (happened once but I truly do not know what caused it, but oxi clean was used so now I’m forever afraid) but this keeps my bedding and towels smell...
OxiClean Odor Blasters Versatile Odor and Laundry Stain Remover Powder, 5 lb
I started using this because it had good deals on Ibotta. I stocked up probably 6 months ago on different detergents while couponing and this one is by far my favorite. I notice a difference in how clean my laundry smells when I use this one. Side no...
ARM & HAMMER Deep Clean Odor Formula, Liquid Laundry Detergent, 102 fl oz, 68 Loads
I use odoban in my carpet cleaner. Those with dogs know accidents happen! This does a good job of getting the scent out. But I am looking forward to trying a different scent as this one kinda reminds me of a nursing home not gonna lie. But it is effe...
OdoBan Disinfectant Cleaner and Odor Eliminator Concentrate, 1 Gallon, Original Eucalyptus Scent
I love me some Mr Clean! The last three scents I’ve had were the blue, orange, and now the lemon! I bought blue over a year ago and I remembered it smelling so good but that is not the case anymore. Orange is the one specifically for pets, I don’t th...

Gotta have the right tools to get the job done quickly and effectively!
Like everyone else on the planet I have a little green machine and can say it lives up the hype! I use it on my couches and carpets. I wish I had a larger vacuum to really deep clean the carpets but for everyday use the little green machine is perfec...
Bissell Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, 1400B, Green
Absolutely love my spin mop! I have the off brand Walmart one that is no longer sold, but I have seen this one before and it’s exactly the same. They’re all the same really so get what you want! I honestly can’t remember what I used before a spin mop...
Libman Spin Mop and Bucket, All in One Kit with Premium Microfiber Mop Pad and Polypropylene Bucket
I like this brush for my tubs. It gets into the grooves well and works very good with the paste! Plain and simple it does the job well.
Great Value Ergonomic Non-slip Grip Sturdy Bristles Cleaning Brush
I actually just use old wash clothes and hand towels as rags and I encourage you to too! It saves me so much money. I only use paper towels to clean up things you don’t want in your washer machine. If I were starting fresh and did not have old towels...
Mainstays 18-Pack Washcloth Bundle, Grey Multi
I use these to put my Mr clean in, much cheaper than buying single use bottles! A lot of the eco friendly stuff I do is really just to save money. The “saving the planet” part is just a bonus! I highly recommend if you get a glass bottle to make sure...
(3 pack) Better Homes & Gardens Glass Spray Bottle,16 Fluid oz, 1 Pc.
My brother spent a long time researching vacuums and ended up getting this one. Because I would never spend that much time looking into vacuums I bought the same one! 4 years later it’s still going strong and does a great job. Has 2 different setting...
Shark Pet Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Powerfins Brushroll, 40-Min Runtime, WZ250
I use wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets for my laundry and will never ever buy dryer sheets again. Sometimes I add essential oils for a scent but my laundry detergent is so good I really don’t need to! They also help speed up drying time which...
