How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Dreading The Big Spring Clean and A Giveaway To Make It Easier!

in Lifestyle on 04/19/13

I am ready for a change!  Anxious for the sun to start shining and the air to warm up so we can open the windows and usher in the spring…or even summer?! 

BeachJumping

Even though I’m ready, my house is not!  It is time for the dreaded big spring clean.  In my house inevitably  one small job snowballs into much bigger one’s.  Small tasks become bigger and it really can become overwhelming.  I know I’m not the only Domestic Goddess that feels this way, I also know of a way to help! Having the right products for the job.  It may seem like a silly thing, but really can make all the difference.  So can having a plan of attack! 

Gain and P&G shares these simple tips:

Upholstery, carpets & curtains: Mist these hard to wash areas with NEW Febreze Fabric Refresher with Gain to eliminate unwanted odours and leave a fresh scent. 

Closet clutter: Tuck away your winter wear in organized storage bins to make room for your spring and summer wardrobe. To keep your winter wear smelling fresh, add Gain Fireworks Original Scent Booster to your laundry load, before tucking items away. You can also use a Febreze Fabric Refresher to refresh items being pulled out of storage. 

Baseboard & blinds: These areas trap dust and dirt, and can often be neglected. To tackle these tricky areas, run the Swiffer Duster along the surface. 

Tough to clean places: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a great tool for cleaning away the grime you come across when uncovering those rarely seen spaces and hard to reach places. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes scuffs, crayon marks and finger prints from walls too! Mr. Clean has plenty of tips to share, check out www.mrclean.ca for details. P&

My personal tip:  Don’t try and do it all alone!  Crank up the tunes, gather the troops and get every single person in your family involved.  Many hands make light work, and a clean house makes this Mama happy! 

Now thanks to P&G I am offering this giveaway!  Everything you could possibly need to get your house ship shape for the Spring!  P&G has created the Gain Spring Cleaning Kit with all the tools you need to tackle the mess, while adding some good clean fun to the mix! This great bundle is valued at $80*and includes:

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
