Quickie’s Ultimate Summer Cleaning Kit #Giveaway

by 301 Comments

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!

  6. One of the best cleaning tips I learned a long time ago was to run all of your light fixtures (glassware over the bulbs) through the dishwasher! When their clean they produce 50% more light!

  10. My cleaning tip is running a vinegar wash through the dishwasher and the washing machine once a month to keep odors away. Use vinegar and baking soda down the kitchen sink at least once a month or more often if needed. The vinegar and baking soda can also be done down bathroom sinks, bathtubs and showers as needed to take away odors that build up in the drain pipes.

  12. I hate housecleaning. My tip is hire your step-granddaughter to clean once a week :-)). That’s what I did. She needed money and she loves to clean and is very good at it. She cleaned for the first time yesterday. It was so nice to come home to a clean home after a long day at work. My cleaning supplies was kind of lacking. So if I was to win, my granddaughter would be very appreciative. Thank you for the giveaway. Have a great day!

  15. The only tip that I have that I have would be one you probably already know. I didn’t know that I could do this till this past year but it works like a charm. If your microwave gets dirty on the inside (if you have kids or a hubby that doesn’t tell you they made a mess like mine do) then stick a bowl or cup of water in the microwave for about 2 minutes (until boiling) and then take out and the mess just comes off with little effort. I love that the steam just takes it right off.

  16. I cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a squirt bottle with water and vinegar to clean with…..then the rind I stick in the garbage disposal and for the next few days, whenever I turn on the disposal, I get a nice lemony scent! The rind usually lasts a week. 🙂

  62. Pine Sol, or Pine Clean mixed with water, and put in a spray bottle is the best glass cleaner I have found yet! No smudges! Just clean shiny windows, mirrors, etc! I also use it for cleaning a lot of other things (wood surfaces, washing the car, etc!)

  100. My best cleaning tip is really, really hard, but it works for me. Shut down the computer (I know!), and clean one room from top to bottom until it’s done. Then turn the computer back on and enjoy!

  105. Don’t keep clutter! Pare down the stuff you have, keep surfaces clean so they’re easier to maintain. It’s easier to keep a clean house with less stuff, have a yard sale.

  108. We clean as we go along. This way we aren’t spending a whole day once a week cleaning. Just do a little here and a little there everyday to keep the house continuously clean.

  116. The best thing for odors is lemon. Cut a lemon in half and rub the lemon on whatever was smelly- we use it in the kitchen all the time and it works better than anything.

    Reply

  121. I’d suggest picking a room every few weeks and cleaning it top to bottom and just doing little cleaning jobs every few days. This way, that room stays clean, but also homey (if it’s too clean, my boyfriend claims it’s not “lived in”). I would also suggest using natural cleaners whenever possible, not just because of the ecological value, but the smell as well. Most natural cleaners have a lighter smell and I’ve found I don’t get headaches cleaning with them.

  123. A cleaning tip is clean your room clockwise ,and not just surface clean, this way if you have to stop you know exactly where to begin again.Also ,put the toilet cleaner in the toilet and let sit over night .

  130. I always keep my vacuum out and handy. With 3 little ones, my house needs to be vacuumed at least once a day (or more!) I also keep a set of cleaning supplies in each bathroom. Makes it really easy to do a quick bathroom clean up while I’m in there! I struggle with keeping up on the deep cleaning. I started a calendar where I clean 1 room a day each week. It makes it not so overwhelming for me. For example, Monday: Laundry, Tuesday: Family Room, Wednesday: Bathrooms, Thursday: Kitchen, Friday: Bedrooms, Saturday: Basement

    Reply

  132. I’ll try to go with one that wasn’t mentioned before (maybe it was!): I have had to tear off a lot of wallpaper off of walls in my life, and I have found using a spray bottle of hot water with a few spoonfuls of liquid fabric softener makes the process incredibly easy. The tiny bits of paper and glue just come right off. And the room and walls smell great! Thanks so much for the chance to win this wonderful kit!! buckeye7081 at gmail dot com

  146. Pick a room each day to do a thorough cleaning on and do a quick pickup on the other rooms in the house. Also purge your clutter; if you haven’t used it in a year, you probably never will..time to throw it out.

  149. For a quick clean smell to your house, pour some pine-sol into a decorative bowl and set it on the counter. It makes your house smell like you just scrubbed it down. Then of course you can use the pine-sol to actually clean with….lol

    Reply

  181. A few I can think of are to get out the housecleaning music. Cleaning goes faster with tunes. De-clutter. My moto for books and magazines is if you haven’t looked at it in 6-months to a year it is time to box it up and put it away.

    Reply

  183. If you can afford it, hire someone to do the cleaning jobs you hate!

  193. Whenever you take your bath and get ready for the day clean the tub and counter afterwards and they will always be clean and your bathroom will look nice. At that time check the toilet and the floor and spruce up quickly where necessary.
    In my house I say put whatever you used away as soon as you are done with it and you won’t have a cluttered house.
    And third-when you do laundry-ALWAYS fold and put away your clean laundry in the dryer. I cannot stress this enough! LOL

  223. Here’s my multi-tasking cleaning tip: If you have an item of laundry that needs to be handwashed, take it into the shower with you. Wash it, hang it up on the showerhead, and then scrub out the bathtub and shower with a sponge & cleaning supplies (Just be careful not to slip!!). Then, finish taking your shower as normal. Then you will have a clean shower, a clean item of delicate clothing, and a shower too! 😀

  246. After you flush the toilet, sprinkle 1/4 cup of baking soda into the wet bowl. Take your shower and then give the bowl a single scrub. Flush to rinse.

  247. My cleaning tip is all about variety! Write the names of rooms you need to clean and other projects you need to do (go thru mail, break down recycling boxes, etc), then put them in a container. Draw three from the container, then do each room/task for 20 minutes. After, take a break. In about 20 minutes, start the process all over again. You’ll go from task to task with the knowledge that you’ll only be there for 20 minutes, so you won’t be overwhelmed nor will you work slowly (right?).

  250. Baking soda is a soft abbrassive for cleaning sinks and tubs. You can also use it as a carpet freshener. Just sprinkle a little on your carpet and wait 15 minutes, then vacuum up. You can also add a few drops of scented oil to the baking soda and then sprinkle.
