Life. Love. Lipstick.

I don’t get a lot of time to clean my house, so when I get a few minutes, I like to make them count!  The best cleaning products are the ones that don’t require much work on my part.  When Great Cleaners approached me requesting a product review, I jumped on it.  I welcomed the chance to discover products that could make my life easier.  I discovered a lot of great ones, including one stand-out that I will use for years to come.

Great Cleaners sent their Dorm Room Cleaning Kit, and I eagerly put the products to work.

Oxi Clean is something I’ve always seen advertised and always seen in others’ homes, but never used myself.  I swear by spray ‘n wash for formula stains, so was skeptical to try any other stain remover.  I was pleased to discover that the Oxi Clean works pretty well!  I tried it as a pretreat for laundry and spot remover on carpet, as there are several uses for the product.  As a pretreat and spot remover, it worked pretty well.  However, where it really stood out was as a laundry booster.  I just add a scoop to the laundry and it visibly brightens the clothes!  Whites are whiter, colors are more vibrant.  I was really surprised by this!

Brillo Pads have been a part of my cleaning repertoire for years, so there was no need to try them out.  They are the best thing for scrubbing your non-stick pots and pans, because they will lift the crud without leaving scratches behind.

Kaboom Foam-tastic really impressed me as a bathtub cleaner.  My usual routine consists of Clorox spray and scrubbing with a brush.  With Kaboom, you just spray on the blue foam and when it turns white, you wipe and rinse.  I love that I can spray it on, then clean the rest of the bathroom before rinsing the tub.

Kaboom Scrub-Free Toilet Cleaning System was the big winner for me.  You simply set the system up in the tank of a clean toilet, drop in a couple of tabs, and let it do its job!  Love that!! There is even a demo video that is spot-on!

I will definitely use the toilet system for years to come. Why wouldn’t I?  I haven’t cleaned my toilet in two weeks and it looks great!  Definitely need to get a system for our other bathroom.

Now, the best part. One lucky reader will receive the same kit reviewed here!  It is the Dorm Room Cleaning Kit, and would definitely be great for a college student, but who couldn’t use it?

Seriously. We need help.  Our kitchen table and bar are the catch-all areas for EVERYTHING!  It’s ridiculous. We clean them off and 2 days later, it looks like this.  We have a tiny apartment, so even the smallest amount of clutter presents a HUGE problem.  And, obviously, this is much more than a small amount of clutter!

What do you do to keep stuff from piling up like this?  I’m open to any suggestion at this point!!!
