Cleaning After The Holiday
Written by: Margherita Miserandino
All the relatives have left, but their mess still decorates your house.
Don't pull out your hair yet, for the following tried and true products will help make getting your house back from your in-laws' remnants easier than it was dealing with them. So happy holidays from TheCelebrityCafe.com, and happy cleaning and organizing!
Wrap n Craft
Rubbermaid has manufactured some great products to keep all you wrapping essentials like paper, bows, scissors, and tape in a neat bin or container. The Jumbo Wrap n Craft holds up to 16 rolls of wrapping paper and it includes a basket to hold ribbons, bags and bows. The smaller sized wrap n craft holds up to 8 rolls and has the same basket feature. For those who love gift bags Rubbermaid created the Gift Bag Tote which holds up to 15 jumbo bags folded and you can hang it in your closet.
Swiffer Carpet Flick
Swiffer offers consumers the new Carpet Flick. Lightweight, easy to assemble and break down, as well as easy to store, the Carpet Flick has a maneuverable swivel head which glides easily over carpet. A sticky adhesive on both sides of the disposable insert, instantly traps and locks dirt. Although not recommended for shag carpeting, because the adhesive gets covered more quickly with the fuzz from the shag, the Swiffer Carpet Flick is still great product to pick up for any dorm student, as well as those with home offices.
KABOOM Bowl Blaster
KABOOM bowl blaster is a great new way to clean your toilets without ever even having to touch a brush. Pour a capful of the powder in the toilet and watch in amazement (as I definitely did) as the powder starts to foam. Don't be alarmed and worry that it will overflow your toilet, as it will stop just under the rim, and still clean it. All you have to do is let it sit for 15-20 minutes and flush away the foam, with it will go the grime and rust and any other spots your toilet may have accumulated.
OxiClean Laundry Stain Remover & Triple Power Stain Fighter
Being the solution to mom's laundry stains everywhere, OxiClean's Laundry Stain Remover uses oxygen fighting power to get rid of even the toughest set in stains. The spray is now even tougher on grass, dirt, and grease. It is so effective that it even starts working in front of your eyes! OxiClean Triple Power Stain Fighter is a pourable liquid safe enough to add to every load of laundry. It not only helps fight stains, but also brightens colors. It boosts detergent using its super oxygenated formula to bubble up stains and lift them away. So enjoy the holidays, not the laundry room.
OxiClean Baby
Now even the tiniest of mess makers will have clean clothes. OxiClean Baby Stain Soaker and Remover work together to be more effective than washing baby clothes in regular detergent to get rid of stains. It is non-irritating for baby's skin and is 100% fragrance free. It contains no chlorine, detergent, dye, and the residue free solution is safe to use on even the most delicate of cloths.
Weiman
Clean the whole house with one brand. Weiman Home Care Products have you covered, from start to finish. Start in the kitchen with Cook Top Quick Wipes to get rid of burned on food. Stainless steal is left streak free and with no finger prints with the Stainless Steel Wipes. Clean and shine up all your leather furniture with a lingering fresh citrus scent with Weiman Leather Wipes which condition and protect. And in the bathroom, get rid of tough build up or spots with the multi purpose Cook Top Quick Wipes.
Bissell
Vacuum and steam clean your carpets with Bissell's new line of machines. The Bissell Lift-Off Revolution is an upright and canister vacuum all in one. With a rotating brush that can be turned on and off, safely clean both hardwoods and carpets. Press the release button on the canister and you can take it to go clean stairs and other hard to reach areas. Telescoping wand which is included can be used to clean ceiling corner cobwebs and ceiling fans. The Bissell SpotBot will work wonders to clean any carpeted surface in your house, even in high traffic areas. The Automatic Smart System measures and dispenses the right amount of cleaner and water for each job, so your job is made simple. Clean, suction, and dry the spots all in one with one easy to use machine.
Method Cleaning Products
Method Cleaning Products have no toxic chemicals. They make a wide range of cleaning products in a variety of fresh scents. The products smell of fresh cucumber, pink grapefruit and eucalyptus mint. Some staff favorites were the Flushable Wipes Bathroom Surface Cleaner with a eucalyptus mint scent and the Pink Grapefruit All Purpose Cleaner. The products clean as good as they smell. We highly recommend environmentally friendly products like Method.
Dirt Devil
Dirt Devil has always made affordable and reliable vacuums. Their “Dynamite Quick Vac” is a compact upright vacuum that only weighs nine pounds but cleans like the big boys. It uses both suction and a revolving brush that can be used on both hard and soft surfaces. The “Classic Hand Vac” has been popular for many years and it is still one of the best hand vacuum cleaners around. It too uses a brush as well as suction and comes with a five piece tool set for upholstery, drapes, and other little spaces. Our favorite Dirt Devil product we tried was the “Broom Vac” which is a broom and vacuum cleaner in one. You can sweep your kitchen floor and pick up the crumbs all at one time. It also comes in a variety of neat decorator colors like silver, red and green.
