Spring Cleaning Would Be Easier With LG’s TwinWash System @BestBuy @LGUS #Ad

**The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free**

I live in New England, and the weather changes daily.  One day it may be 10*, the next it's 70*.  Lately it has been above 40*, which means spring is not too far off.  I have started to take down all the curtains to wash, the small rugs, the extra blankets etc.  I am trying to stay ahead of all the spring cleaning.  It's tough to get all the cleaning done when everything needs to be washed separately.  I have just a plain old standard washing machine that we have had for years.  I would love to get something more energy efficient, and something that can help me get this cleaning done faster!!

With LG’s TwinWash system you get the best of both worlds. For small loads that can’t wait (The sweatpants after hot yoga, the red shirt in a pile of whites, the dirty school uniform on a Sunday night) there is the LG SideKick pedestal washer. You can even use it simultaneously while you do a bigger load up top on your LG Front load washer.

Not only do these washers have mega capacity to tackle any size load, they are energy efficient while giving you the best cleaning performance. No wonder more households have chosen LG laundry over any other brand!

We have many LG appliances in our home, and I think we may just need to add a new washer and dryer!!  The best part is that Best Buy is offering up to $500 off a LG laundry solution for your home from 1/11-4/25.  We can save money all around!!

**All opinion expressed are 100% my own.  I was compensated for this post, and given products for review purposes.**

I hate to say it, but summer is over.  Ugh!!  Now I am trying to prepare the outside of the house for the yucky winter weather.  The pool has been taken down, the bulk of the outside toys have been put away, and I have started to clean off the porches belongings and am putting them away.

This year, I am working with Mean Green on a series of posts all about cleaning, and how they can make chores much easier.

I was sent a variety of products to try, and considering the items I am cleaning up, I needed some heavy duty stuff!!    

The lawnmower is the bane of my existence.  We do not have a shed for it, so it is kept on our covered porch all year when not being used.  I have to empty it of all fluids, cover it, and put it in the corner.  

I used Mean Green's Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser, to help with that difficult chore.

Look how yucky my lawnmower is!! 

With the Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser, I sprayed on, waited a minute, and wiped clean.

The lawn mower looks much better, and is now winterized and ready for next years clipping season!!

Cleaning Up After Summer BBQ's With Mean Green #MeanGreen #Clean

**All opinion expressed are 100% my own.  I was compensated for this post, and given products for review purposes.**

Mean Green is known as a national and international, superior all-purpose cleaner for the toughest jobs around your house, your garage or your work.

Lab tests prove it beats nearly every other cleaner on nearly every stain. And because it’s biodegradable, and contains no acid, ammonia, or bleach, you can feel safe using it just about anywhere, inside and out.

Summer is here, and we are BBQing up a storm!!  We have done a ton of camping trips and many small get together's with family and friends.  We logged a lot of miles on our car driving to Maine, Boston, and the Cape.

This year, I am working with Mean Green on a series of posts all about cleaning, and how they can make chores much easier.

I was sent a variety of products to try, and my first cleaning project for this post was my porch chairs.  They see a lot of use, and I need to keep them top notch.  I used the Mean Green Orange Champ Cleaner.  This is my go to cleaner for lots of projects.  It's works great on so many different things, and smells terrific.  

Mean Green Orange Champ is a multi-purpose, multi-surface cleaner and degreaser with orange power. Orange Champ cuts through tough grease and grime leaving a fresh citrus aroma, a scent of clean. It gives a powerful clean that is safe on most washable surfaces throughout your family’s home.

I sprayed the cleaner on the mess, and left it for about two minutes.  I then wiped it clean, and rinsed it with water.  All it needed was a gentle wipe.  No scrubbing!!  Now my chairs are ready for all the fun get together's!!

My second cleaning project was tackling my cars wheels.  We just bought her two years ago, and I am trying to keep her looking somewhat new.  Mean Green offers their Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser, to help with that difficult chore.

Look how dirty my wheels were!!  Yuck!!

With the Auto & Garage Cleaner & Degreaser, I sprayed on, waited a minute, and wiped clean.

Now my hub caps look almost new again.  The degreaser did get rid of a lot of caked on yuck and no scrubbing!!  My arms appreciated that one!!

Mean Green Cleaners Help With Spring Cleaning! #MeanGreen #Clean

**All opinion expressed are 100% my own.  I was compensated for this post, and given products for review purposes.**

Mean Green is known as a national and international, superior all-purpose cleaner for the toughest jobs around your house, your garage or your work. The iconic "Super Strength" formula is made with a unique blend of detergents and solvents that form a powerful heavy duty cleaner and degreaser. Lab tests prove it beats nearly every other cleaner on nearly every stain. And because it’s biodegradable, non-toxic and contains no acid, ammonia, or bleach, you can feel safe using it just about anywhere, inside and out.

Well this seems kind of silly to say right now with a snow storm blowing through, but it is Spring!!  I have already started the dreaded but appreciated task of spring cleaning.  I always start with the bathrooms (the smallest rooms,) and leave the kitchen (the hardest to clean) for last.

This year, I am working with Mean Green on a series of posts all about cleaning, and how hopefully their products will make the horrible chores easier!!

I was sent a variety of products to try, and starting with the bathroom, their Mildew Destroyer was first on my list.  I do not have tiles in my shower where water can get to them.  I do have decorative tiles at the top, but unless you are trying to get those wet, they are usually safe!!  However, the shower spout, handle and walls do get quite icky with soap scum.  I hate cleaning the shower and scrubbing for what seems like hours.  I gave Mean Greens Mildew Destroyer a shot to see how well it works to prevent me from getting tennis elbow!!

Mean Green Mildew Destroyer is a must have for cleaning and disinfecting areas with mildew and soap scum like the bathroom, kitchen, patio and more. Mildew Destroyer is a bleach-based cleaner and disinfectant. It destroys what is growing in dark, damp spaces.

It has been used to clean and disinfect areas which are common for mold, mildew, athlete’s foot, salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus (bacteria) and soap scum. Those spaces are showers, bathtubs, sinks, toilets, tile and grout, floors and garbage cans.

Mildew Destroyer is also effective against Salmonella enterica and Staphylococcus aureus in 30 seconds.

I am not going to lie, I have not cleaned the shower in a couple weeks.  It was not as bad as it could have been, but still embarrassing!! The Mildew Destroyer is easy to use, just spray on, wait a couple minutes and then wipe off.  I started with spraying down the spout and one corner of the shower that seemed to be the ickiest!!  

The cleaner does have a heavy bleach smell to it, so make sure your room is well ventilated.  I also used gloves to prevent the smell from staying on my hands for weeks.  I sprayed the cleaner on and waited a couple minutes to wipe away.  I was hoping just a regular sponge would be enough, but sadly it was not.  I did need steal wool to remove some of the yuck.  Here's the great part though; it required very little scrubbing!!  I was not crying in pain after cleaning the shower!!

Overall I am very impressed with the Mildew Destroyer, and it will be a steeple in my cleaning arsenal!!

After the shower, I decided to clean a mess that has been driving me nuts for days; the very dreaded microwave.  No, it is not in the bathroom (all though my parents had one in theirs for awhile!! (it was put in there while they were redoing their kitchen,)) but it really needed a cleaning and I couldn't stand it anymore!!  I will ask that you please don't judge me for my mess (I know it's bad!! lol)

The cleaner best used for this nastiness is Mean Greens Orange Champ.  The mess is fairly new, so I should not need industrial cleaner yet!!  The Orange Champ works well on a multitude of surfaces, and the best part is that it smells great!!

Mean Green Orange Champ is a multi-purpose, multi-surface cleaner and degreaser with orange power. Orange Champ cuts through tough grease and grime leaving a fresh citrus aroma, a scent of clean. It gives a powerful clean that is safe on most washable surfaces throughout your family’s home.

I sprayed the cleaner on the mess, and left it for about two minutes.  I then wiped it clean, and rinsed it with water.  All it needed was a gentle wipe.  No scrubbing!!

I think it did a pretty good job, what do you think??  The Orange Champ can be used on a wide variety of products from stoves, to sinks, to even floors!!

So far I am really enjoying the Mean Green products, and my spring cleaning is coming along much faster!!  

You can purchase Mean Green products at Walmart, Family Dollar, Dollar General or on Amazon.  Make sure you follow them on Facebook and Twitter to keep tabs on new products and contests, and keep checking back here for more reviews!!

Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Products Make Housework Easier This Holiday Season!!

EARTH-FRIENDLY HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day believes in a better way to get a good clean. Chock full of plant-derived ingredients and essential oils, our household cleaning products are powerful against dirt and grime. Garden-fresh scents uplift your mood while adding a little spring to your step. We all have to clean--let's make the very best of it.

It’s that special time of the year when the leaves change, the air gets crisp, and every single store seems to be filled to the brim with pumpkin spice everything.  Pumpkin spice is a wonderful scent, but it’s not the ONLY fall scent… Introducing three scents from Mrs. Meyer’s that will get your home holiday-ready and your nose fall-happy.

                                           

Orange Clove

Whole oranges, embellished with cloves, give off a warm and spicy citrus scent. Perfect for hanging on the warmth of summer while welcoming the coziness of fall.

Cranberry

Bright, shiny cranberries give off a tart and tangy scent. They aren’t just for Thanksgiving dinner, they’re for your hands and dishes too.

Iowa Pine

Crisp Iowa pine, with a touch of clove and cedar, has a scent that’s as fresh as a just-cut Christmas tree. What could possibly be merrier?

I was sent a variety of Mrs. Meyers products in their new scents to try.  Personally my favorite is the Iowa Pine.  Man does it make the whole house smell like a fresh cut Christmas tree!!!

I like to use the Cranberry scent right before my Mom comes over so she thinks that I have been baking!!  LOL 

Mrs. Meyers hand soap is soft on my hands which I appreciate big time.  This time of year my hands are very dry and sore.  I don't need them any worse then they already are.  Their dish soap is also very mild on my hands, and does a good job cleaning those icky yucky dishes.

No one likes to clean; everyone has to do it.  Why not make cleaning more fun by adding some great scents to your home!! 

You can find Mrs. Meyers products online, or by visiting your local Whole Foods or Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Dreft Makes #BackToSchool Clean Up Much Easier!!

Whether you're a first timer or the greatest, grandest mother of them all, there's one thing moms have agreed on for over 80 years - Dreft baby detergent makes your little one's fabrics feel as clean and gentle as can be.

Now, Dreft has a product for every stage of babyhood. Formulated to be gentle on baby's skin and tough on stains, Dreft's new family of products has you covered every step of the way on the big, messy, beautiful journey of #Amazinghood.

When you have children, even when they go back to school, there is still a mess to clean.  I find that cleaning at night after the kids go to bed is the best time to clean.  That way I go to bed with a clean house, wake up with one, and it stays clean until they get home from school.  

No one likes to clean, so any product I can use to make it easier is awesome!!  Dreft has a line of terrific products to help you clean up after children of all ages.  

Most people know of Dreft as the laundry detergent, but they are so much more.  They now have great products like All Purpose Wipes, which you can use to clean anything from highchairs, to counter tops, to toys safely.  No harsh chemicals that can make your kids sick.

All Purpose Cleaner is also safe to use on everything for your kids; cribs, toys, and tables to name a few.  The spray is not made with harsh chemicals, it cleans very well, and does not leave a film afterwards.

My favorite new product has to be their Odor Eliminator & Fabric Refresher.  I personally think the smell is similar to baby powder, and who doesn't love that smell!!  We have a new puppy, and I hate to say it, but he leaves an oh de dog odor on the couch and rug.  I use a little bit of the spray, and the odor disappears, and leaves me with that fresh washed baby smell!!

Dreft laundry detergent has been around for 80 years.  They have proven they know how to take care of our kids!!  If you are looking to make cleaning easier, and safer for your kids, check out the great line of products from Dreft!!

S.O.S Pads Can Be Used For More Then Just Pots And Pans!!

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given product for review purposes.**

S.O.S® Brand History

In 1917, a Wear-Ever Aluminum cooking utensil salesman by the name of Irwin Cox was looking for a way his customers could keep their new pans shining bright. His invention: a pre-soaped steel wool pad. The idea was born in the basement of Cox’s home by dipping steel wool balls into a hand-grade liquid soap and then allowing the pads to air dry. Cox’s wife called the pads S.O.S, which stood for “Save Our Saucepans.” The S.O.S® pads were so popular that Cox found himself with a hot new product line. A U.S. patent was issued for the concept in 1918 and the following year an investor group was formed in California to manufacture and sell the product. Almost 100 years later, S.O.S® remains the number one problem-solver for America’s greasiest, grimiest, grungiest jobs.

I think pretty much everyone knows what an S.O.S pad is, and more likely then not has used them multiple times to clean their pots and pans of that caked on food that just won't come off.  But did you know that S.O.S pads can be used for so much more??

S.O.S pads are a steeple in this house.  We use them for pans, cleaning our stove burners, our gas grill, even our lawn chairs.

Here is a list of some of the ways we use S.O.S Pads!!

Pots and Pans- This one is obvious.  It was what the S.O.S pads were originally invented for.  They can be used on a variety of pan types.  Always test on a small area first before scrubbing too hard just to be safe!!

Kitchen Stoves- We have a gas stove with a white porcelain top.  We use the S.O.S on the burners, and all foods come right off.  We do use them on the porcelain as well, but much more gently as to avoid scratches.

Kitchen Sink- Our stainless steel sink gets hard water stains on it, and S.O.S pads clean them right off with minimal scrubbing!!

Oven- I have the original self cleaning oven (you know the one you clean yourself!!)  Scrubbing is made much easier with the S.O.S pads.

Coffee Pot- S.O.S pads easily remove coffee stains.  I give them a good scrubbing, and then run them through the dish washer.

Dish Washer- Have you ever looked at the bottom of your dishwasher (inside and out?)  It can get really gross.  S.O.S pads work very well on dirty water stains, and the ick that accumulates.

Toilets- The one chore that I hate more then anything.  It's just eww!!  I use the S.O.S pads around the bottom seal.  They work really well.

Lawn Chairs- I have white plastic lawn chairs that become dirty, stained, and covered in pollen every year.  I use the S.O.S pads to make them look like new each spring.

Grill- This is all my Husbands responsibility.  He messes it, he cleans it!!  S.O.S pads do wonders to get burnt and stuck on food, and tin foil right off.  

Hub Caps- Regular soap and water never get all that dirt and oil off.  S.O.S pads work wonders!!

Clorox recommends using the S.O.S pads on grills as well.  Check out this video to see the best way to use them.





Do you have other uses for S.O.S pads not listed here??  I would love to hear them!!
