Bathroom Day!

I have missed both Monday's since I started my challenge. Today is the first day that I've done all of my weekly's on a Monday. My bathrooms are sparkling clean and I love it!

Another product review: the Swiffer sweeper. Last week on kitchen day I tried the sweeper (which I also purchased with coupons a few weeks ago). I hated it but I didn't want to review it yet because I wanted to give it a chance on bathroom day. The reason that I hated it so much for my kitchen is because I have kids. If you have kids you know what I mean. If you don't have children then let me explain. My kitchen floor usually has enough crumbs to feed a small army. Daily we have large crumbs, small crumbs, wet spills and sticky messes on the floor. I am fairly confident in saying that as much food as enters the mouths of my kids also ends up on the floor. When I tried to use the Swiffer sweeper on it there was no way it could all stick to the magic pad. It was simply too messy.

So what did I think about the sweeper for the bathroom? I LOVE IT!!! Why the difference? The main difference for my bathroom was that my bathroom floor is fairly clean to start with. We don't have food crumbs or other messes on the bathroom floor. The main mess on the floor is either dust or hair. The sweeper did amazing with both of these messes. I also used the wet cleaning pads after sweeping with the dry cloths and it did a great job. I love that you can flip it to the edge and scrub - I used it to clean off shoe marks on the floor. I also used the scrubby edge to clean the base boards without bending over. I really did love using it.

How is everyone else doing? I miss having other bloggers add feedback. Let me hear what you have been up to. What is working in your home?

Product Review

I was clipping coupons a few weeks ago and came across a $5 off coupon for the "Rug Stick" and a free $5 gift certificate to Target for purchasing it. So with the $10 incentive I decided to give it a try. Our carpets are horrible and I would love to rip it all out but that is not in the picture at the moment. Anyway, because the carpet is terrible it is hard for me to want to spend money to maintain it. But for such a good deal, I figured the rug stick might be nice for those unexpected accidents to keep the carpet from getting worse.
Last night I had my first chance to try it out. My hubby was polishing his shoes and managed to get polish all over the carpet. I thought it was a lost cause - dark brown polish all smudged into the carpet.
I busted out the rug stick asap and was pleasantly surprised. It actually cleaned up the polish pretty nicely. I don't know if I would have purchased this product at full price but I'm glad that I bought it and now I have it for future cleanup. We have lots of accidents around here so I'm sure it will get a lot of use.

Bathrooms

Did you ever notice that the commercials that advertise bathroom cleaning products (or almost any cleaning product I suppose) are shown being used in a perfectly clean room? I hate that. I think that the reason that the bathroom (and specifically the shower for some) is the worst thing to clean is simply because they get super nasty! Let's face it, any bathroom I have ever been in is harder to clean than just a quick swipe and calling it a day.
So in tackling this nemesis I propose that everyone share their favorite bathroom cleaning product. What works in real bathrooms? - not just the kind of bathroom where one little spill is on the counter or where the toilet is already perfectly clean and you just swirl something around to make it look like you are cleaning.
So lets hear your tips and tricks for cleaning the bathroom along with your favorite cleaning products to use.
