A Cleaning We Will Go…

I am forever on a quest for things that make cleaning easier. It is, after all, the 21st century and if I don't want to clean with ammonia and vinegar I shouldn't have to!
Since the arrival of our newest little one (Pepper, la petit pup) I have been on a quest for a decent spot cleaner for the carpet. I have gross old carpet that I will replace once the dog and children are fully potty trained, spill free, and I win the lottery. Seriously though, there is no sense in replacing it right now, it would be cheaper for me to throw $1,000 in the air and shoot it with a flame thrower. So I constantly try to shine this turd. I have tried almost every product out there, don't think for a minute I have missed one, to clean up the evidence of our lives. I have fallen in love with a spot treatment I found at the pet store. It is Simple Solution Extreme Stain+Odor Remover. It comes in a teal colored spray bottle with a little tan puppy on it. It not only cleans the new, fresh stains but has tackled some of the older impossible ones. I have had a darkish stubborn stain (shall we guess what it originally was? Kool-Aid? Chocolate syrup?) that I have even deep cleaned with an industrial carpet steamer and it refused to budge. I just figured it was here to stay. *sigh* But good gracious...this spot remover GOT IT OUT!!! Whooo Hooo!!! I would say that even if you don't have pets (or kids, or muddy hubbies) you need to try this product. It is awesome! 
On to the bathroom, duh duh dummm. I have always loved the Scrubbing Bubbles line of products. Reminds me of my Grandma's bathroom. Has always worked really well. Easy and quick. Until I tried the Kaboom Foam-Tastic. It is the one with the annoying commercial about how you spray it on blue and when it's done cleaning it turns white. Move over Bubbles there's a new spray in town. This product worked so well and has less potent fumes. I even used it on my new glass shower doors that are completely clear glass and show every water spot and speck of soap scum. They came out perfect and streak free! I am smitten.

I would also like to add that I am not in any way shape or form being paid to endorse these products. The only way I am getting any compensation is in my time. These products afford me extra time because they work so well I don’t have to re-clean, they just do the job right the first time.

Yippee!
