Quickie’s Ultimate Summer Cleaning Kit #Giveaway

Quickie has been around since the 1920’s being a company of innovation when it comes to cleaning and tools. One of the first tools they created was the compound-action hedge shear and it changed the way Americans gardened. They continued making advances in manufacturing and now make excellent cleaning tools.

They sent me some sponges, we’re a sponge of a family. We just like sponges. We go through them like crazy, and I think this is our first time to try out the Quickie brand. They are super soft and I never knew you could have so many versions of a sponge for cleaning. They sent a microfiber pot and pan sponge, a microfiber dish and glass sponge, and a microfiber non stick cooking pan sponge. I’m going to be cleaning counters and pots. You can have even more cleaning fun!

Scotch-Brite Bathroom Solutions Challenge, Are you up to it?

My bathroom was in pretty bad shape when it came to needing a good Spring Cleaning, so when Scotch-Brite asked me if I was up to a Spring Cleaning Bathroom Challenge I said yes, please help me clean my bathroom. 3M and Scotch-Brite sent me full set of their bathroom cleaning products to put them to the test.

New Scotch-Brite Bathroom Solutions products will make it easy to do the deep-cleaning this spring as well as year-round; from a grout cleaner to tile scrubbers to a nook and cranny sponge, Scotch-Brite has customized designs so you don’t waste time on a one-shape-fits-all cleaning tool that won’t get the job done. These tools offer reusable solutions for every bathroom cleaning situation.

Scotch Brite Cleaning Tips:

Cleaning the Sink

Cleaning the Shower

Cleaning the Tub

 

For this cleaning challenge, my husband was up to the task. (I have a huge head cold and I feel like I’m stuck underwater in the deep end of the pool and sharks are swimming around me so I feel like I’m trapped in a vortex of terror)

He cleaned my new bathroom and this is what he had to say:

The Grout Scrubber:

544_PKG_FRONT_CMYK-hi res

 

If you have a bathroom that has any tiles, the floor, your bath tub, or shower walls, then you’ll want to use the grout scrubber. The handle is made out of the same material that a pool needle is made from. You’ll find that it bends and molds easily and that the scrubber fits nicely into grooved, grouted areas.

Shower & Bath Scrubber:

549T-6_PKG_FRONT_CMYK2- hi res The Shower and Bath Scrubber is an item that we owned already but are quite happy to have another one. Then we can leave one in each bathroom. It’s nice because you can reach farther, like scrubbing the bathtub is a whole lot easier without having to get into the tub to make sure you can reach all the areas of it. This scrubber has an extendable handle making it even longer, perfect for the top hard-to-reach tiles in your shower. Plus, it’s great on other bathroom surfaces, like the countertops and around the toilet bowl.

Absorbent Counter Cloths:

9055B-2_PKG_FRONT_CMYK-hi res

 

 

My husband wasn’t really impressed with the counter cloth, but I think he was using it to clean the glass. It doesn’t say to use it on the glass, it’s for the counters and I think it’s a lot better to use than a paper towel. Because you can use it over and over again and it is so absorbent. It picks up hair and little flecks of makeup.

Tub & Shower Scrubber:

 549H_PKG_FRONT_CMYK-hi res  

Seems like not all of the products are needed right? It’s true, but, this one is one of my favorites because of how moldable it is. I like the Shower and bath scrubber better, just because it has the extendable pole, but for those surfaces that are just right there and easy to get to, this one is great.

The Nook and Cranny Scrubbers:

NCS-2_PKG_FRONT_CMYK-hi res

First, I have to mention how these little triangles look like a Klingon symbol. My husband just can’t get over how they remind him of Star Trek. He enjoyed using them and said the shape makes them great to use, but they will wear out easily and he’s glad they come two to a package.

Non-Scratch Angled Scrubbers:

NSW-2_PKG_FRONT_CMYK-hi res

The angled scrubbers he said that he used on the countertops in the bathroom. He is very particular about cleaning around the faucet and what products are ok to use on certain surfaces. He reads all the directions carefully and the angled Scotch-Brite was easy to use because he didn’t have to worry about scratches. I never thought about all the different surfaces that need to be cleaned in the bathroom before. I mean, we just clean them right. This line of products makes cleaning the bathroom quick, easy, and squeaky clean.

Purchase them at any drug store, Target, Walmart, or on-line. Be sure and download your Scotch-Brite coupon on their new greener clean products.

I use so many Clorox wipes it drives my husband crazy Simple and Surprising giveaway.

cloroxI honestly love the Clorox wipes because they are so easy to use. I don’t have to spray and find a wash cloth or paper towel it’s just all there for me to use. I am a mother of convince and cleaning up after two children that are going different directions and getting into everything can be a challenge. Clorox is into simplifying my life and all mother’s.

 

I wipe the kitchen down, and my kids chairs a few times a day. I have to say, that after every meal my son’s chair looks like I never cleaned it. I just don’t know what he does, I sit across from him so you know it’s true talent that he has in making messes.
