Spring Cleaning Favorites

I desperately need to tear apart my bedroom: closet, drawers, various piles, etc. and spent major time engaged in cleaning, purging, and organizing. I’m pretty sure there are things in the bottom of my closet I forgot I even own!
The other night I even had a weird dream that I came home from a trip and my husband had pitched everything that was piled up in the bottom of our closet!! Which is pretty ironic, since he is the one who boarders on hoarding. Still I took it as a wake-up call that I need to get moving on some spring cleaning!
I plan to get started this weekend……….and thought I’d share some of my favorite cleaning products and accessories…
1. I love Method’s Natural Cleaning Products! Especially in grapefruit, the citrus smell is perfect or spring and the products clean great!
2. I love cleaning with microfiber clothes. These bright cheerful Zwipes Microfiber Clothes make it easy to know which clothes are for cleaning.
3. My husband got me this Dyson DC-35 Cordless Vacuum for Christmas and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It’s fabulous for vacuuming furniture and small spot cleaning. I use it daily!
4. I have used Bar Keepers Friend on my stainless steel sink and pots to get them super shiny for years! It’s the only thing that will remove rust or hard stains without using chlorine bleach.
5. Yankee Clean Cotton Candle is my FAVORITE spring/summer scent. Their candles have always been a favorite because of the strong scent and long burning hours.
6. Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner is my very favorite automatic floor cleaner. It dusts and wet cleans my floors. I use it at least once a week on my laminate and tile floors.
7. Baking Soda has SO many uses as a household cleaner. This natural wonder does the trick on everything from cleaning my drains to my grill and more.
8. I was never much of a kitchen brush user, until I got my hands on the Full Circle Glass Cleaner and Laid Back Dish Brush. Now I can’t do dishes with out them.
9. Affresh Stainless Steel Cleaner is the only thing I have found to clean my stainless steel appliances and doesn’t leave streaks!
10. Big cleaning days call for a great Cleaning Caddy – the perfect way to move from room to room with all your cleaning tools.
11. I like to dust with a VERY damp cloth, I usually just lightly spray a microfiber cloth with a little water. I like this Microfiber Spray Duster because it does just that and it picks up dust and holds onto it like a magnet!
12. I love my iHome . I have one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom. I can listen to Pandora, my iPhone music library or the radio. We use all the time, especially when cleaning!
13. I’m a big fan of containers to corral clutter – these Fridge Bins are great for organizing the fridge and freezer and come in a range of sizes.
14. I keep a container of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes in each bathroom and the kitchen for daily mishaps and wipe downs.

Great tips! Do you want to come clean my house? 🙂 hehe. Sharing all over the universe!
Love these tip!! I know it is weird, but I love to clean!1
I seriously need to do some deep spring cleaning myself. The only problem is getting started. I tend to procrastinate 🙂 By the way, Bar Keeper’s Friend is one of my *favorite* cleaning products. It’s also great for cleaning ceramics. It takes all kinds of spots off of older dishes and flatware.
I just cleaned out the fridge, freezer and pantry, now I have to tackle the rest of the house!
Now you’ve make me want to get busy.
I’m obsessed with microfiber cloths! They are my favorite. I’m glad you included iHome too, it’s a must-have for cleaning days 🙂
I need to get cleaning! Great post!
I really want one of those Mint Automatic Floor Cleaners! Love it tips!
It’s funny how when the light changes in sprnig and the temperature begins to rise it’s instinctive to freshen up the nest! I started last week and now we are beseiged with snow and single digit temps slowing me down a bit. I use a number of the products you recommend echo your endorsement. Going to pin this now….and hopefully follow the schedules later!
Barkeeper’s Friend is the bomb. Especially for people like me with well water and a lot of iron!
My all time favorite cleaner is a spray bottle filled with 1/2 vinegar , 1/4 alcohol and 1/4 water. It cuts grease, sanitizes and shines everything. It costs just pennies a bottle.
Coming back from our stay-cation spring break my house needs a complete clean overall! Great tips. I need to especially order the barkeepers friend. I’ve heard so many good things about it.
Well, you’ve inspired me to clean…once the snow leaves. I simply can’t get into cleaning everything out when there is still slush walking through the door. Bookmarking for when winter finally disappears from the front lawn.
