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! The WISPsystem and miniWISP is the invention of WISP Industries which…

Creating a Cleaning Schedule That Works for Busy Mums
It can be really tricky to fit in the cleaning while looking after the kids and trying to get your own work done. It took me probably until Lottie was just over a year old to fall into a routine, I was not only happy with but actually worked. Now what works for me might not work for you but if you are struggling to juggle everything then you may find my cleaning schedule helps even a teeny bit. 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…

I have always used a wash powder and liquid conditioner (usually Tesco’s own as I have always found it really good) however when Mia was born I washed her clothes separately with Fairy sensitive liquid until she was just over 1. Now I don’t really mind doing the laundry as such however I…

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…
