You mean I have to CLEAN?

When will someone PLEASE invent the self cleaning house?

If I want my oven clean, I simply press a button, and frankly that thing gets pretty darn grimy before I get to cleaning it. The rest of the house is MUCH less dirty, yet somehow I have to work a WHOLE lot harder at it. Why can’t it be as easy as walking into the shower & washing yourself & your hair?

I’ve got about 1400 square feet of WHITE tile flooring (the bedrooms & office are carpeted) at the mansion, making keeping the floors clean my BIGGEST issue. It has to be kept up on a DAILY basis (OK, so  maybe I don’t REALLY do it daily, but if I had a live-in housekeeper I WOULD). If my house won’t clean itself (lazy house), then it’s my obligation to myself to find the quickest, easiest way to keep it in top shape, because you won’t find me on my hands & knees scrubbing!

There are two products that I swear by

My Mr. Clean eraser and my Swiffer, so when I saw that they combined the two in this new Swiffer® WetJet® Extra Power Pad with the scrubbing power of Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser, I knew that my work was going to be cut down DRAMATICALLY.  This innovative product powers through up to 2X more dried-on dirt and grime with less effort* (*vs. mop and bucket), making it easy to get the shiny floors you always dreamed of…at least until Mr. S makes his way into the kitchen for a little more mess.

I simply popped in my Duracell ® Ultra Power ™ batteries and went to work. It took all of 20 minutes to get my floors back to the condition that I like. Oh & the batteries are PERFECT for keeping stored for hurricane season down here in Florida (or blizzard season up north). I never have to worry about running out to grab fresh batteries for my flashlights & lanterns either. This high-performing product is guaranteed for 10 years in storage — your family won’t be searching high and low for a battery that works!

Now that the mansion is clean

I’m off to hop in the shower, wash my hair, put on my makeup and get on with the day. My locks I’m trusting to Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner. These high-performing products help lock in moisture and block out heat damage, allowing you to say buh-bye to dry strands and hello to healthier hair.

I’ll be back later with more from Champagne Living…at least the mansion & I are ready to face the day!

Comments

  3. My biggest issue is dust, so much of it. We have a brand new house, so you would think it would not be dusty.

  18. My biggest cleaning issue is the bath room. The tub being the worst. Not my a favorite space to clean.

  22. I hope I win! My husband and I are moving into our new apartment at the end of the month and its all floors – I could really use this to clean up as I’m a total neat freak.

  23. My biggest issue is keeping the walls cleaned because my daughter likes to put her feet and hands all over the walls all the time.

  24. My biggest issue is probably keeping the downstairs bathroom clean. Everyone uses it and some people are not very neat when they pottie

  27. Biggest issue is all that DUST my family calls me a perfectionist I run an in home Licensed Day Care my Home in always always clean and disinfected because of the children it must be but It seems I cant keep up with the dust I do use swifter dusters whitch does make the job a bit easyer.

  30. My biggest cleaning issue. Hardwood floors and three small dogs. I have hair and dust on the floors all the time. i do a lot of mopping.

  31. I raised 6 kids and am now watching my grandkids after school. My floors always need cleaning with that many kids.

  36. I really need to find all samples, coupons, freebies and sweepstakes. For the past 6 months I haven’t had a dime to go shopping. any 1 that can help let me know

  37. eveything is a problem when you have kids and i have 3 of them!!! fingerprints on windows and mirrors, dirty floors, messy bathroom- u name it, it’s a problem!!

  38. my biggest cleaning issue is floors and the bathroom! at time hard to get clean and keep clean!

  40. we have three cats who are all getting on in years and have started throwing up a lot – food as well as hairballs – and no one can convince them to throw up in their catboxes! Messes that are hard to keep clean!

  44. My biggest cleaning issue is tiled floor/linoleum. The kitchen/dining room has white linoleum trimmed in black. My bathroom floors are hard wood “copy tiles” I always have to get on my hands and knees to scrub these floors because my regular mops don’t seem to work, they just push around the dirt.

  48. My biggest challenge is keeping the bathroom clean; with 4 boys, a husband and 2 grandsons, it is nearly impossible

  49. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE KITCHEN, WE HAVE DOGS TRACKING IN MUD EVERY TIME IT RAINS. AND THATS BECAUSE IN THE WINTER THEY SEEM TO KNOW I DON`T CARE IF THEY WALK IN THE FLOWER BED AREAS. THE NEXT IS THE BATHROOM GERMY FLOOR.

  53. Our biggest cleaning challenge is dust. With our older eyes, it’s not as easy to see and since we keep the windows open a lot in warm weather, so pervasive!

  54. My biggest issue is my son moved back in my home with his wife and children and a puppy. The puppy is in the house now along with my 2 dogs and cats. I have pet hair everywhere and dirt from the animals running in and out. I am going crazy cleaning everyday and a little help would be great. Thanks

  57. My biggest problem when I’m cleaning is getting my wood floors clean. Also I have asthma and the chemical smells are hard for me to deal with so I buy ones made of natural or organic cleaners.

  65. keeping the house clean with just the two of us seems to be just as daunting as when there were 5 of us here

  69. One of my biggest issues cleaning is the room where the cat box is. Little pieces of litter and dust make it hard to get up

  70. My biggest cleaning issue is the floor. No matter how often I wash it the kids and animals always seem to leave dirt blots!

  72. I hate cleaning the bathroom–shower tiles never look clean, floor always seem dirty, and that forever ring around the toilet!

  79. My biggest cleaning challenge is my childrens bathrooms! How many times do I have to tell them to clean out the sink after they get toothpaste & spit all in them? And my son’s toilet? GROSS!!!

  87. I actually have 2 huge cleaning challenges! One is my FL tile floors throughout the house… I love them but with all the pollution and dust coming through the windows, they show even the smallest amount of dirt… I did have a steam cleaner, which I am in process of trying to return as it quit after only a few wonderful months of daily use. But without that steam cleaner, or something like the Swiffer WetJet, I am lost! I find myself sweeping and it not helping, so actually even resort to sticking a pair of damp socks and doing a quick “clean it walk through!” and my 2nd major pet cleaning peeve are my vertical blinds! (need I say more?!)

  94. Cleaning a gas stove is a real challenge. All the food and grease can get under the Burners and it is so sticky to remove

  104. I live in a house where I’m the only female. Between my husband, sons, and grandsons my bathrooms are always my biggest cleaning problem.

  105. My biggest issue is getting motivated to clean ~ it’s not one of my favorite things to do,

  107. I have a mechanical heart valve,Lupus and a very old cream colored linoleum in my kitchen.Mopping is very hard on me so anything to make it easier would be great.I have not tried this mop yet.

  109. I would say keeping it clean. Seems like I clean up and the next day there is food, dust, etc.

  115. My basement is my biggest cleaning job. These products would sure make my job easier & I love Swiffer and the magic Mr Clean eraser!

  119. My biggest cleaning issue would have to be the windows, there are so many and they are never all clean at the same time…
