Recommended Cleaning

I actually own and love two different vacuums for different reasons. My Dyson is the one I grab for everyday cleaning. It is lightweight, cordless, and rechargeable, which makes it incredibly easy to use anywhere in the house. I use it on the max power setting, so the battery does not always last through my entire home, but even with that, it is one of my favorite tools. The attachments make cleaning high and low a breeze.

If you have carpet, this is a must-have—especially if you have kids or pets.
We call ours the “Little Green Clean Machine,” and it truly saves the day when spills or stains happen. I usually boil some water, clean the spot, and let this do the rest.

I got it as a gift from my mom and now pull it out multiple times a year without fail. It works on couches, car seats, and other upholstery too, but I reach for it most often when something hits the carpet. It’s small, easy to use, and actually gets the job done.

Another one of my favorite items is our Roomba. Anyone who has a Roomba can tell you how great they are. You can schedule it to run when you leave the house, and it maps each room so you can easily choose which areas to clean. It is amazing how much dirt this picks up. This is definitely a bigger investment up front, but it is so convenient and easy to use that it has been completely worth it for our family. (Yes, I have two vacuums on my recs.. but I actually own three.)

I don’t always buy these, but when I do, it feels like a treat. There is something about the way they leave towels and sheets smelling absolutely incredible that totally makes it worth it. Try them at least once and you’ll see what I mean.
