Eco-friendly dish cleansing paste from KLIIN and Giveaway

Thank you KLIIN for sponsoring this post, and for being part of our journey to become more eco-friendly!

In our home, we try our best to be eco-conscious about everything we do, from the materials we use to how much we consume and recycle. We recently got the opportunity to use KLIIN's new eco-friendly dish cleansing paste. We have been using this paste when hand-washing our dishes and to clean different surfaces around our home. We are thrilled with the results of how clean it made our surfaces and dishes look, and it feels good to know we can reduce our consumption of water as well.

Professional Cleaning using the Home Right Steam Machine

We love using the Home Right Steam Machine model O53 to clean a variety of surfaces in our home. We found this to be a natural, green way to clean and sanitize our home. 

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Products and Giveaway

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Products are now available in Canada. I like these aromatherapeutic cleaning products because they are powerful against dirt and grime, and are made with naturally-derived ingredients that are gentle both in our home and to the environment. 

Get in the Spring Cleaning Mood with Attitude and Giveaway

I love our routine seasonal cleaning because this is the time I toss out things we don't need by donating or up-cycling depending on the condition, and refreshing our living space. Attitude, a Canadian leader in carcinogen-free personal care and household products introduces a bright new scent to their household collection. I love that their products are created with a sustainable approach, which is good for the environment and for our health.

Cleaning with the Easy Spin Mop

I like using the Easy Spin Mop to dust, as well as mop, as this mop can be used either dry or wet to clean a variety of different surfaces. It requires very less effort on our part to dehydrate the mop. All we have to do is lightly press it in to the spinner and the water squeezes out of the micro fiber mop head by rotating automatically. This makes it easy to control how much water we want in the mop, depending on the surface we want to clean. 

Win a Basket of Scotch-Brite™ Sponges and Say So long To Grime and Scratches

Whether it is breakfast or lunch, after school snack or dinner, our kitchen is the center of it all. Mess after mess, it seems never ending. Having the perfect products to help keep our kitchen clean and welcoming, and being able to say so long to grime and scratches is a relief for everyone in my home and me.

Spring Clean with a New ATTITUDE

Bio Spectra, the Montreal-based producer and distributor of ATTITUDE is offering a Canadian made alternative to existing cleaning products that are free of known cancer causing chemicals. The collection features laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners and hand soaps made with ingredients from renewable and vegetable sources that are easily biodegradable and non-toxic.

Maintaining Our Dishwasher Using Finish Products

Over time, it is easy for our dishwashers to accumulate food and chemical residues that make the inside of our dishwasher look dirty.

I tested the Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner on our really dirty dishwasher :) and was amazed by its results. This cleaner helps us not only clean, but to freshen and maintain our dishwasher. 

Use The #ResolveTip Exchange So You Don't Have To Deal With Stains Alone

Getting a stain on our favourite clothing can be very disappointing and frustrating. The toughest stains that I deal with are caused by tea, grass and pen marks. My children and I enjoy using different craft materials and pens that somehow end up leaving a stain on our clothing.

Green products are better for us and the environment

Happy Earth Day to all of you. Today many of us are thinking global and green. With this thought, I think we need to make lifestyle changes and use greener products, which are better for the environment and us.

Getting the house ready for the #holidays and a Giveaway

handheld 2-in-1 scrubber

I have been cleaning our home a bit more than usual because we are getting ready for winter and had a few celebrations.  Now with the December holidays approaching, we are anticipating more family and friends to come over and spend time.  My grandpa used to say that a clean kitchen and washroom judges a home :) So keeping a sparkling washroom and kitchen is a priority in our home. Soap scums, dirt caused by humidity are all reasons that make it hard to maintain the washroom, especially if we don't have the correct tools.  I am very happy that this year we got to try these fabulous scrubs and brushes from Rubbermaid.  

I found the extendable scrubber helps us with hard to reach corners more easily.  We have the option of detaching the head or scrubbing part easily to use without the handle.  The pole extends from 24" to 40" and works with switchable pads.      

I like the idea of putting the cleaning liquid into the spraying scrubber.  It allows us to easily spray and clean one spot before moving to another, which is very useful with little ones in the home, as I usually don't get to start and finish cleaning in one time.  The spray scrubber holds about 1/2 cup of liquid at one time.  We have the option of switching the pads for this scrubber depending on the surface we want to clean, which is very convenient.

We found the flexible scrub brush useful as we cleaned the washroom floors and areas where some surfaces are flat and some have curved contour surfaces i.e. bathtub and sink.  The rubberized inset helps to grip it firmly.  When the red button on the top part of the scrubber is pushed, it releases the 3" red part of the bristle to move into any position we like and then locks it into place.  This bendable firm part of the bristle helps us scrub curved areas in the bathroom.

The handheld 2-in-1 scrubber is extra large and is useful for full surface scrubbing for large areas.  I like the detail brush that is on top, which is similar to a giant toothbrush.  This detail brush is handy to scrub around the faucets, grout and small spaces.

We can switch the pads to either disposable, scouring, bristle or sponge.  The pads are available to buy separately.  Scouring pads are good for all surfaces.  Sponge pad is good to clean and wipe.  The bristle brush is handy for heavy duty scrubbing.  The disposable pad come in packs of six to "clean and toss" for messy jobs.  

A lot of thought has gone into designing and making this selection of Rubbermaid products for the bathroom, which makes our job easy.  All these products can be found at Home Depot, and some of these can be found at Walmart and Home Hardware stores.
