Cleaning and Loving It!

Okay, first thing is first.  Would this inspire you to clean? 

Why, oh why did they keep a stock pile of pickle jars???



NO, those are not our roach baits!  They belonged to our super dirty previous owners!  (They even had them in the cabinets with the dishes!)

A cluttered collection of miscellaneous cleaners!  This is what happens when the Mr. gets into things!  ;)

Me neither.  Let's face it, cleaning is a chore and it doesn't help when you are afraid of what is waiting for you on the other side of the cabinet doors!  I have been asking the Mr. to clean out and paint under the kitchen sink for almost two years and he has found a way to avoid it every time.  Big surprise, right?  LOL!  Well, he will do almost anything to get out of painting the den, yet again, so I finally got him to do it!  The project is still not complete, as I am missing baskets and such to make the space more appealing, but I am not complaining at all!  Thanks Babe for getting it done!

After a major wash with soap and water!

After spraying on the bleach and water solution to kill the mildew smell!



Here is the finished product!  Like I said, we are going to incorporate some pretty baskets to make it look as nice as possible!

Remember that back corner with the shelf and load of pickle jars?  Gone is the shelf and the abundance of glass is off to the recycling center!

I HEART MY CLEANING CADDY!

Thank you Micheal Graves for incorporating this paper towel holder!  What a genius you are!  This will keep the Mr. from taking the roll from the kitchen and placing it on the bathroom floor (GROSS!).  Of course, I don't know how often I will let my husband get into the cleaners, as I like things nice, tidy and organized!

I am loving my new micro-fiber blinds cleaner!

I stocked up on Method cleaners per I Heart Organizing, Jen's suggestion!  I have always purchased Seventh Generation but just the other day, the Mr. was complaining about the smell from their cleaning products.  Methods cleaners smell delicious and are cheaper, which is an added bonus!

Method Tub, Tile and Sink Cleaner

Method Spearmint Scented Bathroom Cleaner

J.R. Watkins Lemon Scented All Purpose Cleaner -This stuff is amazing!  Be sure to check out their hand soap and lotion!

Method Wood Cleaner - This the Mr.'s absolute favorite!  He loved the almond smell of this so much, I was honestly concerned that he might drink it!  ;) 

Method Toilet Bowl Cleaner - I imagine that the shape of the bottle gave that away!  Isn't it super cute?

Williams Sonoma Pink Grapefruit Glass Cleaner - I am a HUGE fan of WS cleaning products and they have the best smell of anything that I have ever found!

Method Pink Grapefruit All Purpose Cleaner - Not as fresh smelling as the Williams Sonoma products, but still nice!



And there you have it!  A collection of my new favorites!
