My new house has hardwoods, Travertine and ceramic tile though out. When we first moved in, I had no idea how I was going to clean it all and what supplies I was going to need to do it right. My husband and I spent hours online researching the best tools to use and we decided to give the Shark Deluxe Steam Mop a try. The Shark Steam Mop cleans floors by heating plain water into a steam and...

I tried out the Scunci and was unimpressed.  I was pleasantly suprised by the Shark Steamer.  It has fewer attachments then the Scunci, but I never used all the attachments of my Scunci anyway.  It also does not have that nifty carrying bag, but for $20 less I love it!My only complaint is that the steamer seems to shoot out a little too much water.  I wanted it to be pure st...

I have always used either Dreft or Ivory Snow to wash my baby’s clothes. I was really stuck on those brands. They have been around forever, but they can be so expensive! Especially with how much laundry you have to do with a baby in the house! I ended up buying ALL BABY laundry detergent the last time I was shopping for baby detergent because it was quite a bit cheaper than the others. ...

Amway Multi Purpose Cleaner is the first product for Amway. What makes this product different from other cleaner is this is an organic cleaner. It means that it will not bring any harm to the environment and therefore it is also safer for you to use. The Liquid Organic Cleaner (LOC) is neither alkaline or acidic which makes it gentle enough to wash even your clothes.I have been using ...

I use Mop &  Glo 3 in 1 Floor Shine Cleaner to clean my vinyl bathroom floors. Mop & Glo can be used on tile,vinyl and wood and most hard surface floors.I prefer to use a specific cleaner for my wood floors but Mop & Glo really does a good job on my bathroom floors. I mainly see a shine to the floors and I love the nice scent,not too overpowering. The whole bathroom smells real...

Cleaning the shower is a job I absolutely hate. My arms and back hate it too. So I was excited when I found a spray cleaner that eliminates the need to scrub. Arm & Hammer has been making quality products for years and this is another success. It comes in an easy to hold spray bottle. You start with a clean shower, then after each shower from then on, you spray this on tile, shower cur...

I am not usually one to try new things, especially those that seem gimmicky, but I received a $2.50 coupon for a Bounce dryer bar which made it inexpensive enough for me to want to try it. These bars stick to a piece of plastic that adheres to the inside of your dryer's drum. When the clothes are tossed in the dryer they come into contact with the bar which deposits the fabric softener on t...

My bathroom and kitchen are tiled, and are grouted with white.  After many years of use, the grout is looking tired and downright dirty.  There is a little mold in some areas that are closest to where water is used daily.  The bottle says to "Spray on; Let penetrate; Brush in; Wipe off".  Although it says it's for white bathroom grout, I dec...

Let me start by saying that do not let the price scare you away. This is absolutely the best cleanser I have ever bought and believe it or not, I bought it from a door to door sales person. The Wonder Cleaner has a citrus scent, so it is not nasty smelling at all. It is super concentrated, so I usually put 1 part cleaner to 20 parts water. This is a multi purpose cleaner that is non-toxic and b...

Have you ever made your OWN clothes detergent?  No?  Well, if you want to save some money, you should get you some SUPER WASHING SODA and make some!  It is somewhat difficult to find; not all stores carry it.  If they do, it will be in with the laundry powder and borax (I've seen it at Walmart and Krogers).I have been surfing the web looking for ways to cut down my month...

 The product I am discussing here is recommended by INDIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.  When it comes to cleanliness of our home, we are very particular to keep the floors glazing, and free from germs and insects. There are a number of products that one will come across in the market but a very few of them will be worth trusting. I had been to a number of such disinfectant surface clean...

I have well water and we have a lot of trouble with rust and lime residue in the tub and shower, not to mention soap scum.  The product I use to clean it with is called The Works Tub & Shower Cleaner.  It is fantastic for cutting through the grime and making the tub and shower shine!  I have used a lot of different type of cleaners to get my tub and shower clean, but I have n...

If you have lime (calcium) in your hard water this product will clean off those deposits very well.  It does not deliver as well on its other promises.CLR (short for Calcium, Lime, Rust) promises to remove calcium, lime (redundant... lime is calcium chloride!), and hard water deposits, discoloration, soap scum and dirt.  It is non abrasive and also claims to deoderize.I tried this pro...

I went to the Woolite web site and obtained a $3 coupon.  The site is: rugstick.comI purchased this product at my local supermarket.  The rug stick was on sale for $15.49 from the original price of $16.99 and with the $3 coupon off, it only cost $11.50 tax included!  I was a happy camper :)  The product is very easy to assemble and a snap to use.  It comes with a trial ...

With an indoor dog, I'm always cleaning messes. Whenever possible, I use old towels and washcloths, but those aren't always the best option for me. I used to keep a towel handy in the kitchen for wiping our clean hands, but I've now given up on that. My husband is a dog person. He prefers dogs to most people, so he isn't bothered by dog hair or slobber. He can play with the...

I've wanted to try this product for awhile now but I have always neglected to pick it up until this weekend when I had visited two Home Depot stores in as many days and had failed to grab a bottle of this cleaner both times.  Yesterday we had to visit a Home Depot again to get some trim for the master bedroom carpet and finally I remembered!This product comes in a large 32 oz spray bot...

Murphy Oil Soap is hard to beat to clean wood, painted surfaces, leather, vinyl, marble, cars and most any thing you can wash with water.  If you can’t use abrasives, get out the Murphy’s!I first met Murphy Oil Soap 44 years ago, and it had already been around for about 60 years before that!  It’s still quietly cleaning dozens of items with biodegradable, natural ing...

My bathroom sink was getting clogged again. I could tell because it took forever for the water to drain after I washed my hands. Now I've taken those drain pipes apart before to thoroughly clean them out, so I can tell you from frequent experience that the only things clogging my bathroom sink are soap scum, toothpaste and hair that has matted into the blackest, foulest smelling p...

Some time ago my oldest daughter became interested in the Melaleuca brand of products and purchased a variety of things to try.  In the box that arrived was a 16 oz clear plastic bottle with a clear, highly concentrated glass cleaner inside and an empty 710ml plastic spray bottle.  Not being familiar with the Company or its products I looked at the product for a bit and wondered if 4 ...
