Spring Cleaning Tips

April 09, 2010 | Permanent Link

As we emerge from winter semi-hibernation, we seem to have a biological need to clear our clutter and clean our spaces. We like to rid ourselves of all that has accumulated over the long, dark season.  Here are some ideas to help you get started:

  • Start making a list of all you’d like to accomplish.  For example, “clean out hall closet, wash drapes, dust blinds, clean fixtures”.  You could make one list for “clearing clutter” and one for “cleaning”. Also, you might want a list for outdoor cleaning projects as well.

  • Assemble all your cleaning supplies and tools.  Consider going more “green” by using more environmentally safe products if you aren’t already.

  • Assemble a collection of boxes that you can use to help you clear clutter.  Label them “trash”, “donate”, “put-away” and “storage”. Don’t purchase any new storage bins until you are sure of what you need after you’ve de-cluttered.

  • Start at the top level of your house and work your way down.

  • Start with the interior and work your way out.

  • Consider what you can hire professionals to help.

  • Create a calendar to help you set and accomplish your goals.

  • Pace yourself!  There’s no rush.  Take lots of breaks.

  • Consider ways you can make it more fun –– get the whole family involved. Set up leisure activities for when you complete certain tasks.  Open up the windows, enjoy the breeze and sunshine as you work.

    Better Life Non-Toxic Cleaners: Drinkable

    January 26, 2010 | Permanent Link

    But of course we would never suggest that you really drink it.  It’s just that our Better Life rep happily volunteered to prove how safe their cleaners are.  And Better Life products are effective, so you don’t have to sacrifice performance to be safe and environmentally-friendly.

    Chemicals in cleaning products have been known to trigger respiratory problems, nausea, headaches and skin irritation and contribute to many more ailments, not to mention their harsh effects on our environment. Better Life blends highly specialized surfactants made from sugar, startch and amino acids – all safe stuff, so you don’t have to worry about the build up of toxins on you, your family and pets. 

    With names like “what-EVER!” for their all-purpose cleaner, “I Can See Clearly, WOW!” for their glass cleaner, and knowing that your are cleaning with friendly products, the Better Life cleaning products are fun to use.  Visit Potash Bros. Market for your Better Life safe cleaning products and have a green day!
