Cleaning the Car with BD Clean Car Products
Mario is obsessed with his car and I mean obsessed! We aren’t actually allowed in Mario’s car very often as he likes it to stay spotlessly clean and unMia-ed! So when he gets a spare 3 hours on a weekend (yes, 3 hours!), he can be seen happily washing, drying and polishing his beloved motor from top to bottom. Every now and again, he even finds time to do mine, of which I’m very appreciative! (I hate cleaning, let alone cleaning my car and God forbid I take my new car through a car wash!). Mario has also written a blog review, comparing BD Clean car products to other cleaning products on…

Easy Cleaning with the WISPsystem and MiniWISP
I have never been the type of person to get excited by the thought of cleaning the house! Don’t get me wrong, we are a really clean and tidy family and I can’t stand mess or dirt, with everything in its place but I really hate the thought of cleaning the whole house from top to bottom and so it took me a long time to find a routine that works for me! You really need good tools for the job so I thought I would write about one of my favourite ever, still-going-strong-after-4-years products, the WISPsystem and miniWISP!

Cleaning Schedule I came up with my schedule by adapting a couple of different techniques I read about and it took me around 6 months to get it how it is…

Sparkly, Streak-Free Windows with the MVPower Window Vac
When I was pregnant with Lottie I started to get behind with the cleaning and general housework. Mia had just started school and I was just so exhausted from an anxious pregnancy, going back and forth on the school run and trying to get ready for baby! We decided we needed a cleaner to help me out so started with a local company (who were amazing!) once a fortnight pretty much until Lottie was about 13 months old. Having a cleaner was so helpful and meant I didn’t need to think about doing anything but little top-ups here and there. However, as Lottie got a bit older and I was…

Great Ways to Keep Your House Clean with WizMops!
Since moving into a new house in Late December, I have become a little bit bogged down by cleaning! I love having a tidy and clean house and although my desire for minimalism has had to take a bit of a back seat since Mia came along, I really enjoy it when the house is really clean and feels ‘finished’! This house is a bit bigger than the old house and sometimes I just can’t get started if I feel I don’t have time to do it all in one go, which is crazy! With that in mind, I’m always looking for ways to make it easier and quicker to…
