At StyleBlueprint, we employ the most amazing women who like to let their friends know about their favorite must-haves. We asked everyone to dish on their favorite cleaning agent, and here is what we found out. Yes, we now each have this entire list in our own homes!
 
I can’t live without the Magic Eraser. It saved me $2,000 on having all my trim repainted when I realized all those scuff marks could be wiped away. It even gets marks off of cars and boats. I also have to have the Gal Pal Deodorant Remover pads, available at The Container Store. A must.

What did I do before the Febreze Sport Extreme Odor Eliminator? This spray penetrates deep to eliminate sports odors from shoes, apparel and unwashable equipment. I use it for my stinky running clothes. It also worked for my wool scarf that had way too much moth ball smell.

Karin Coble, owner of Made in France, told me about Natchez Solution in her antique class for USN evening class (putting pledge on your antiques is worse than lighter fuel).  Three 8 oz. bottles are $35.

I keep old toothbrushes with my cleaning supplies. The small head and soft bristles are great for getting into nooks and crannies that are hard to otherwise clean — sinks, faucets, toilets, shoe treads, silver trays. And I do label the handle “cleaning,” so no one mistakenly uses one that has been repurposed for cleaning tarnish off silver or dog poo off shoes. Cost: Free!

My very glamorous cleaning product that I cannot live without (and now I have all my friends hooked on) is Fabuloso in the lavender scent. I use it for bathrooms, countertops, kitchen — anything that needs a clean. The smell reminds me of home and of all my friend’s homes as well. And the price can’t be beat: $1.

Clorox Wipes — I love them! I stash them under every sink, in the car, at my desk and use them all the time. I store them around the house in repurposed wooden wine boxes, along with other miscellaneous cleaning supplies, which keeps the shelves looking neat and tidy!
Lindsey, StyleBlueprint Memphis
 

Comments

I can't say I have a favorite cleaning product, usually I try to use the less expensive ones, experience thought me that less expensive is not equal to less efficient. Thankfully there are plenty Wholesale Janitorial Supplies to choose from so finding affordable cleaning products has never been a problem.

When cleaning is concerned I always preferred natural remedies instead of choosing household cleaners available in market. One of my friend works at hazardous waste disposal los angeles and he gave me a list of natural cleaning agent which performs better and yet risk-free. To be honest, the reason behind avoiding any household cleaners is almost all of them have ingredients like formaldehyde, petroleum and sodium hypochlorite which are toxic to our health and environment.

Baby Steps

“I dreamt my whole life about being a mother,” says Heidi Jellison. “I never dreamt about a big wedding, honestly never even dreamt about the husband part.” Jellison, a 35-year-old concert harpist and harp teacher, laughs at this last bit, but then her face settles into a quiet solemnity.
