Support Breast Cancer Awareness with Carpet One Welcome a Cure Mats-Giveaway

October 5, 2017 by Kathryn 117 Comments

Since 1985, October has been a month to help raise awareness and funds for those impacted by breast cancer. And this year, the month is especially meaningful to me. Less than two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after her 60th birthday. After surgery followed by months of painful treatment, she’s finally back to her energetic self again and, hopefully, cancer free.

Because I know how much the fundraising and support means to those with breast cancer, I love seeing the innovative ways that companies find to raise money for the cause. And this year, Carpet One Floor & Home is doing that with a beautiful designer set of Welcome a Cure welcome mats. [Read more…]

Clean Your Carpet the Right Way

December 15, 2013 by Kathryn 14 Comments

I love the look of carpet in a room, but I don’t love how dirty it gets and how hard it can sometimes be to care for, especially if you don’t have a quality vacuum cleaner.

Carpet adds warmth and comfort to virtually any room, but proper care is extremely important to ensure the lifespan and durability of this popular flooring style. Below are a few recommended cleaning tips to ensure your carpet looks beautiful for years to come:

Clean from Floor to Ceiling with Ease with the Shark Rocket Vacuum

December 13, 2013 by Kathryn 54 Comments

There is nothing worse than having to drag around a big, hefty vacuum to clean carpets in a house. But having tried a few different vacuums over the years, I also know that lighter stick vacuums often don’t do more than sweep off surface dirt from a carpet. So if you’ve ever longed for a vacuum that has the light and portable design of a stick vacuum and the deep cleaning power of a full-sized vacuum, the Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Upright Vacuum is your dream come true!

This multi-functional upright is the ultimate floor-cleaning machine. It never loses suction and deep cleans as effectively as a top-of-the-line full size upright vacuum. But with the ability to use the vacuum as a handheld unit and the option of using it on both hard floors and carpet, it has enough versatility to make it an essential in any household.

Make Cleaning Floors Easier with the Eureka AirSpeed One Upright Vacuum-Giveaway

September 5, 2013 by Kathryn 224 Comments

Our house has a lot of carpet and I am not thrilled about that. The basement playroom is completely carpeted, the living room has the same carpet that was in the house when I was a child and the boys’ bedrooms were both carpeted when they were born. Having carpet on three different stories means that vacuuming is always a hassle and with a heavy vacuum is downright agonizing.

Recently, Eureka Canada offered to change all that by sending me the Eureka AirSpeed One upright vacuum to review. This sleek bagless vacuum weighs just nine pounds, but boasts powerful suction and superior cleaning power to ensure that carpets look their best. I was so excited to test it out on all the carpet in our house.

Quick Tips for Tackling Big Summer Chores #HealthyFamilies

July 21, 2012 by Kathryn 8 Comments

My family has been having a great time enjoying the outdoors now that summer is here, but July doesn’t just bring summer fun, it also brings summer cleaning! There are some chores that are best done when the weather gets warm and as much as I would rather be enjoying the sunshine, I know that I have to take some time to get important summer cleaning done too!

Our biggest summer job is usually steam-cleaning the carpets. After the mud and muck of spring, our poor old living room carpet is always in especially bad shape so giving it a thorough cleaning is an essential summer task. Two big tips for steam-cleaning carpets in the summer? First, wait for a low-humidity day if possible. If not, plan on steam-cleaning your carpets in the morning and then leaving the house for the day while they dry. And to help ensure that any remaining odour-causing bacteria has been destroyed, give your wet carpets a good spray with a fabric deodorizer like Lysol Fabric Refresher after cleaning. When the carpets dry, they’ll look and smell fabulous! [Read more…]
