Spring Cleaning Tips For Home Improvement

September 27, 2017 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Although it isn’t necessarily springtime, the term “spring cleaning” has become a sort of catch-all for when you’re ready to redo, remodel or renovate your home all at once before the upcoming season.

A dedicated bout of cleaning and remodeling can really lift your family’s collective spirit, as well as give you opportunities to create a more freeing sense of space in the house. As someone that’s notorious for avoiding cleaning when I can, I’ve got some tips (from long experience) that’ll help you achieve that refreshing feeling of cleanliness and openness without tons of effort!

The Bathroom’s A Great Place To Start

Not only can a thorough bathroom cleaning give the place a new sheen, but you can add new elements while swapping out old ones at minimal cost. This can include the addition or replacement of shower doors, upgrading the bathroom faucet and installing energy-efficient windows. [Read more…]

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…]

It’s a moment every parent has experienced. The house is clean, the kids are tucked into bed, and there’s finally a spare minute to sit down and relax.

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

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…]
