Why do we call the time of year that we declutter, organize, etc. spring cleaning? I call it “all year” cleaning! I finally got a chance to swap out my winter and spring clothes for summer clothes. While doing so, I felt like I was missing a lot of stuff, but most likely I threw out or donated a lot of things after last summer. Does that ever happen to you? You declutter and organize and then forget what happened to things or where you put them?
No matter what time of year it is, cleaning is always in season. Cleaning products play an essential role in our daily lives, whether you buy them from a store or make them yourself.
There’s such a wide variety of cleaning products available in stores today, it’s sometimes hard to choose which ones are the best for your needs. I think most people, like myself, find a few products that work for them and buy those products again and again. But, I do like to try new products from time to time!
What type of cleaning products do you use most often (dusters, sprays, wipes, etc.)? Let me know in the comment section below!

The probably one and only thing I do buy that is organic are our cleaning supplies. Only because I don’t want our pets or little humans to get sick from chemical smells. I buy all my cleaning supplies online from Puracy.com, they’re great.
I too love Awesome!!
But now I’m in love with DAWN DISH SPRAY as well. I use it in the bathroom for the toilet, tub, shower and sink.
Really guys it’s great .
For laundry try original DAWN and peroxide in a spray bottle for stains and I add a bit along with my detergent in the whites.
Yes I agree that Dawn Dish Spray is amazing. Literally cleans ip everything. I love it to
I use oxi clean a lot .. but I also use Norwex in the kitchen
I use Clorox and oxi clean. Also I use Clorox wipes for a fast clean up.
I use Clorox and oxi clean to keep everything clean! It works great!
I grew up working with my mother cleaning houses. Back in the 80’s we used a product called ‘Mint Oil,’ on a particular house filled with aged wood furishings. I loved the smell of it. Now I use cap full of Fabuloso with a 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar. My floors smell, and look great. The apple cider vinegar conditions the wood floor.
Will it work on linoleum floors?
Great tip!
Clorox clean up
I ā¤ļø clorox clean up!
For laundry, I cannot use chlorine bleach, makes me break out in welts. So, I have been a faithful user of Awesome powder, found at the Dollar Tree, for as long as I can remember. Past year or so I have been using a spray stain remover on whites, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then wash as usual, adding OxyClean powder to the wash cycle. Whites come out looking a lot less stained and brighter than chlorine bleach. Works wonders on darks as well šš»šš»šš»
I have been using oxyclean for my laundry, for years. Soak in Oxyclean & eventually takes everything out.
My go-to cleaning product is Awesome!!!! It gets from the easiest to the toughest job done and it’s for a very reasonable price.
Why aren’t my points being added. I scanned a few things yesterday 6/18/2022 and my points didn’t change
