Growing up my house was clean but never sparkling. everyone was just so busy there was never any time. looking back on it now, the way my husband and i keep our house, it could of been so much better.

it’s hard to clean,especially when you have three toddlers running around, but i manage to still try and get a lot done.   I am exhausted after dinner so i have resulted in while i’m cooking to do the dishes immediatly when they are put in the sink. wipe the counters as soon as i’m done cooking. sweep the floor before i start cooking. that way after dinner i don’t have a lot to do.

when we clean especially my hubby(he is obsesive compulsive about cleaning). i feel like we are living in a brand new place.  With three young ones it doesn’t stay clean very long!

my favorite thing is a sos pad or steel scrubber. those things have made so much clean. they can get any stain or burn out.

Hubby and I tackled teh oven/stove yesterday, it was very tough. we live in a apt and the oven was dirty when we moved in. so a lot of those stains were there for years. with the power of the steel scrubbers. we got as much as we could. it looks almost brand new. For the plates under the burners. They were atined very badly, we used goo gone, that stuff works miracles. my hubby used it in Iraq to get all his gear cleaned. It worked the satins that had been there for years, pretty much gone.

my tips that i use are, vacuum everyday(a must when you have babies and toddlers), clean the carpet at least once every two months, bathrooms once a week(garbage everyday).

parent bloggers network wants to know what you tips are for cleaning, and to try new pledge multi surface cleaner. (i love that stuff)
