Fake a Perfectly Clean House with 3 Simple Spring Cleaning Tips

April 25, 2017 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

As much as I love springtime, I absolutely dread spring cleaning. But I know that after a long winter, there’s dust in every nook and cranny, mud being tracked across the floors daily and far too many rooms that need to be thoroughly scrubbed. Luckily for me, my hardworking husband is compassionate about how much I hate cleaning and takes on most of the work of spring cleaning himself. But I still feel like I need to at least look like I’m helping him out! That’s why this year, I’m faking my way through spring with Clorox and Glad! Hate cleaning too? Here are three ways you can make your house look its best without hours of effort!

1) Wipe it Down

During spring cleaning season, my husband will spend hours in each room with a bucket and rag, wiping down walls and furniture to get them clean and sparkling. I can see the difference and I know that nothing will do as good of a job as that heavy-duty cleaning. But to help keep the furniture and walls looking their best before and after that big cleaning job, I turn to Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. The disposable bleach-free wipes kill viruses and bacteria while cleaning and deodorizing hard surfaces. And best of all, quickly pulling one out of the canister to wipe up a mess couldn’t be easier! I like to keep them hidden in the living room entertainment center so that they’re always easily accessible. [Read more…]

The holidays season is coming up quickly and that means it’s time to start getting ready for holiday guests and entertaining! I absolutely love decorating for Christmas and this year, I’ll be decorating in a new place as we’ve recently moved to a pretty little Saskatoon townhouse! But of course, the holiday season is also one of the busiest times of the year and that means that I can’t spend days and days perfecting my home’s holiday look. Luckily, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve! Here are my top three tips for easy holiday decorating!

1) Minimize Time and Mess with an Artificial Tree

For years, I was one of the biggest advocates of a real tree. The beauty, the scent and the classic look of a real Christmas tree was just unbeatable as far as I was concerned. But then one year I caved and decided to try an artificial tree. Not only was I able to set it up in less than five minutes, but it also came pre-lit with pretty white lights, saving on decorating time! And best of all, there was no watering, no sweeping or vacuuming fallen needles and no awkward disposal afterwards. [Read more…]

Say Goodbye to Stinky Clothes with New Tide and Downy Odor Shield Laundry Care-Giveaway #MomsShopWalmart

May 11, 2016 by Kathryn 258 Comments

mommy kat and kids rp2

Sweaty gym shorts, dirty work clothes, my oldest son’s baseball uniform…there are some clothes that I know are going to end up extra smelly before they finally end up in the washing machine. And while I would love to have enough time to wash my own sweaty gym top or my fiance’s dirt-encrusted work overalls every single day, that’s just not realistic. Until now, I’d just resigned myself to sometimes having to deal with clothes that stink. But now, Tide and Downy have come up with some fabulous new products to save my nose!

I’ve been a fan of Downy In-Wash Scent Booster for years now. The Lush variety is my personal must-have, and I especially love using it for my sheets and bedding. The sweet hint of vanilla when I climb into bed makes for very sweet dreams. But while Downy In-Wash Scent Booster leaves a delicious long-lasting hint of fragrance in fabrics, it doesn’t actually control odours in any way. And there are times I need a product that does more than just masks unpleasant smells. Some of our clothing seems to start stinking again almost as soon as it’s out of the washer, whether because of the heavy use it gets or because of reblooming scents trapped within the fabric fibres themselves.

That’s where the new Tide and Downy products available at Walmart come in! The perfect scent-eliminating regime starts with Tide PODS plus Febreze Odor Defense. The 4-in-1 laundry detergent pac cleans dirt, residue and surface stains while removing odours with the power of Febreze. For those especially stinky clothes, adding Tide Odor Rescue with Febreze Odor Defense, an in-wash booster that helps eliminate dirt and odours trapped in fabric fibres, helps eliminate the dreaded rebloom.

Save Time and Money Cleaning Your Car, Home and Yard with P&G Printable Coupons #PGMom

Spring cleaning is one of those yearly events that I always used to put off as long as possible. But now, living with a man that not only loves a clean house but also works hard to keep it that way, I’ve had no choice but to embrace the cleaning lifestyle and make spring cleaning a priority. Luckily, I’ve learned quite a few tricks for making spring cleaning easier, faster, and even affordable! Getting ready to do some cleaning of your own? Here are some step-by-step tips for getting your car, yard and closet ready for summer!

Spring Cleaning Tips to Save Time and Money

Cleaning the Car

  • Start by taking off your winter tires and getting an oil change so that your car is ready for summer fun. Don’t forget to also check the levels of your brake fluid, antifreeze, transmission fluid and washer fluid while you’re at it!
  • Next, spray the car exterior to remove dirt and salt from slushy winter roads. Salt and other snow-melting chemicals can do some serious damage to metal if left on too long, so make sure to wash that exterior thoroughly!
  • Finally, get the interior sparkling! Vacuum floors and seats, using an upholstery brush attachment if possible, and then spray the fabric with Febreze fabric refresher to remove unpleasant winter odours and leave your interior looking and smelling brand new! Right now, save $0.75 on Febreze with P&G Everyday Printable Coupons!

Breeze Though Spring Cleaning with Swiffer and Febreze #PGMom

May 2, 2016 by Kathryn 44 Comments

Spring cleaning is definitely not my favourite yearly event, but I must admit that I love the feeling of sitting down in a fresh, sweet-smelling house once the cleaning is done. And even the whole spring cleaning process isn’t as arduous as it once was, since I created an arsenal of P&G cleaning products! Everything from scrubbing floors to dusting fans is quicker and easier…and that means more time to enjoy the sunny weather!

This year, P&G sent me an assortment of some of its newest spring cleaning products so that I could get my house ready for a new season. I pulled out the Swiffer and Febreze products, rolled up my sleeves and got ready to tackle the jobs that mean “goodbye winter” to me!

One of the biggest and most time-consuming spring tasks here in Saskatchewan is packing away winter clothing. We have a huge bin of gloves, scarves, toques and more to keep the whole family toasty when snow is on the ground. But come sunny summer weather, the bin is a major space hog. Add in the snow pants and coats in the closet on top of that, and there’s a lot of gear to be cleaned and packed away! [Read more…]
