How I clean my house, and other scary stories
19
items I have two boys and one of them is a teenager who brings other teenage boys over regularly. I’ve got some real MVPs as far as cleaning goes in my house and they deserve the recognition.
It turns out I’m picky about my carpet cleaners. I tried a couple others and one I liked, one I hated, but this is the winner. One time my son had a new friend stay the night and he ate all of our hot Cheetos, which was a lot of hot Cheetos, and then...
Carpet, Upholstery & Rug Cleaners | Spot & Stain Removers
I use the bathroom spray, the multifunctional use spray, and the floor cleaner. They smell good, they clean well, they’re pink which is sort of fun.
The Pink Stuff
I started with this spray for my marble kitchen counters and then thought, as I sometimes do, “maybe there’s something better.” So I tried a few other things and eventually I came back to this one and here I shall stay. Again, smells so nice to me an...
Daily Granite Cleaner Spray, Apple Orchard, 28 fl oz
I’m also really into how this one smells and it cleans up the front of my dishwasher and fridge so nicely.
Stainless Steel Cleaner + Polish, Apple Orchard, 14 fl oz
I used pledge for a long time and I still like it! But my son would not stop taking about how it left the table feeling slimy and once he got that in my head I couldn’t un feel it. So I bought this one. It’s a very unobtrusive smell and it cleans my ...
Daily Wood Cleaner, Almond, 28 fl oz
When we had our hardwood floors refinished I told them to please just tell me what to get to maintain my floors because I’d never had hardwood floors before. He said get the Bona stuff. I got the Bona stuff and it is just stupid easy to use and so qu...
Mops & Pads
I don’t use this as much as I should because you have to take everything off the floor and then not walk on the floor for a bit and my kids never stop moving so there’s that, but if we are away for a night or so I’ll slap this down right before we le...
Bona Hardwood Floor Polish, High Gloss (WP510051002)
TikTok full on got me and I bought this steam cleaner but you know, it does its job!
Phueut Pressurized Handheld Multi-Surface Steam Cleaner
They got me with the mop too and I love it. It’s easy and I like being able to wring out the mop and separate the dirty from the clean water. Also a sucker for a cleaning supply you can throw in the washing machine.
Multi-Surface Mop: Perfect for Every Floor Type
My absolute go to for dusting and cleaning anything that needs a bit of elbow grease and no paper towel fuzz residue. And again, I’m throwing it in the washing machine at the end which is great/
Microfiber Towels & Cloths | Free Shipping & Free Returns
Truly a go-to for me. I got a glass top stove and didn’t have this at first and it looked ROUGH. A quick Google search and this plus a razor blade and my stove was good as new.
Glass Cooktop Cleaners
This is not my exact vacuum because I realized the other day that my vacuum is 20 years old. TWENTY! It is one of those original Dyson vacuums and it's pink and I got it refurbished on Amazon for around $200 and it honestly is still as good as it was...
Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean Vacuum
Based on what Amazon has told me I’ve had this steam cleaner since 2020. It’s not as old as my vacuum, but it has held up great and still works like new! Again, I love that I can throw the cloths in the washing machine when I’m done.
Steam Mops & Steam Cleaners
This product probably doesn’t get hyped up enough because I’d never really heard of it until I bought it at Costco on a whim one time. It is seriously amazing stuff. I use it somewhat liberally but the only time it hasn’t gotten a stain out is when I...
Stain Removal Detergents
I’ve purchased multiple packs of this product, which means I have washed my washing machine over 24 times with it and am still happy with the results. My washing machine smells nice afterwards, it looks sparkly inside, and they last for a long time o...
Washing Machine Cleaner Descaler 24 Pack
Like other items I eventually purchase, rubber gloves felt like a luxury that wasn’t entirely necessary. But then there was that hot Cheeto puke you may have read about before and I had a new perspective. These are a great price and work well.
Wsaeig 3 Pairs Colorful Reusable Dish Gloves
I use this on the things in my house that need more elbow grease than I want to give. My bathtub. Really most things in my bathroom. Grout lines. It’s satisfying to watch things get cleaner while just holding my hand in one spot. I also like that the...
Dremel Versa Power Scrubber Kit w/ 5 Scrub Daddy Pads
As much as I love floor cleaners with washable pads, I don’t love the idea of a reusable crevice brush. Something that’s been in a crevice of my toilet doesn’t need to see the light of day moving forward. So I splurge on the disposable ones, but it r...
Lumkew 40pcs Crevice Cleaning Brush Tool
Just like the washing machine tabs these get my dishwasher looking and smelling clean and I really love them. Sometimes I double up and use two. Not sure the effects are different though which just says that one tab is enough.
