mr clean

Not long ago I received an email asking if I'd like the opportunity to review some cleaning products. I quickly responded, yes. I find myself getting confused when it comes to cleaning products. There are so many out on the market. Each one promising to be better than the other. I was looking forward to putting this basket of goodies through the paces.



And the girls.... well they were thrilled with the large box everything came in. That was literally days worth of enjoyment.



So the Glade Noticeables plug in we plugged in right away. After a couple of days Mike was talking about buying another one for the back end of the house. We really liked that it wasn't an overpowering scent. Also because the plug in switches back and forth between two scents our living room always seems fresh. Another great thing is the scents are similar enough it's not distracting. I'm planning on picking up a Christmas scent next shopping trip.

The swiffer wet jet is an incredibly handy tool to have when you live with small children. In seconds you can have a dinner mishap cleaned up without ever having to drag out the mop and bucket and make a whole production out of it. That I like. A lot. Since the cleaning solution is stored in the swiffer wet jet itself, all you need is to hit the button for a spray of cleaner and wipe up any messes with the absorbent pad. What could be easier? It's also handy for those muddy foot prints that get tracked in the back door. Like today's after riding lessons mess.

Not to go into too much detail, but the febreeze spray was a huge help in dealing with the stomach bug Abby had last week. Let's just say accidents occured and things that shouldn't have a lingering scent of vomit, did. Until we febreezed the heck out of them. I also offer the febreeze spray a sincere thank you on behalf of Michael's cow pee soaked work boots. Anything that can make stuff stop stinking of pee and vomit is a must have when you live with kids.

The magic eraser.... well I have a two year old and crayons in the house. 'Nuff said!

The Mr. Clean wipes are perfect for quick little wipe ups. Like the counters when I've been cutting up raw meat. Or the coffee table. What are they doing on that thing that gets it so darn sticky so fast? It's also cut down on the time it takes me to disinfect the bathroom.

The Swiffer Duster spray I really love. It's just a nice light spray with a lovely citrus smell. I am a sucker for anything citrus scented. I don't find it to be waxy like I remember pledge being. And it gives my beat up tables a bit of a shine.

The Dawn diswashing soap I haven't really used yet. I do not wash dishes by hand when I can avoid it, but I have washed my hands with it. A great hybrid product, hand soap and a dishwashing liquid. And it's anti bacterial too. I was actually surprised that it wasn't harsh on my hands when I used it. I have notorioulsy dry hands, especially in the colder months, and I try to be careful with soaps. This one is a keeper.

And finally the thirty hour candle. Mike and I have been buring it on and off since we got it and there's barely a dent in the wax. I am fully anticipating it to last the full 30 hours if not more. Again the scent is not over powering at all, which I like. In fact I think I'm going to curl up on the couch with a mug of tea, the candle and the third book in the Twilight series. A good way to spend a snowy night if you ask me.
