If there’s one thing that drives me crazy about my kitchen, it is how there are spaces between the stove and the countertop. The spaces are just big enough to allow particles of food and spices to slip between the cracks, making it difficult to keep the kitchen clean. I cringe to think about what’s probably accumulated between the stove and my home’s kitchen cabinets! (I am afraid I’ll rip the laminate flooring in my kitchen or cause worse damage if I try to move the stove to clean behind it.) I’ve thought about caulking the space, and have kept a large cutting board over one of the Continue reading...
My New Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Upright Vacuum
I just got a new vacuum. The vacuum I purchased is the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Upright Vacuum, Bagged, UH30310 from Amazon.com. I've only used the vaccum a few times to date, but so far, I have to say, I am liking it.

I owned three Eureka vacuums in a period of about eight years. I keep buying the Eureka because it is cheap (you can get a Eureka for only about $100 on Amazon) and it has really good suction. In fact, the suction is so good that when I first got a Eureka, family and friends commented how clean my home’s wall-to-wall carpeting looked. (Sadly, my home is swimming in carpeting!) I would love to Continue reading...
Making Home Cleaning Easy
I have friends coming over for dinner tomorrow night, so that means between today and tomorrow, I have massive amounts of cleaning to do. Not only do I have to scrub the kitchen floors and clean the kitchen counters, but I have to tidy up the downstairs bathroom (floors, counter and toilet), but I also have to vacuum the entire main floor of our home. (Sadly, we have wall-to wall carpeting.) On top of that, I have lots of decluttering to do. My kids love to read, play and draw in the living, kitchen and family rooms, so there are books, pencils, crayons and toys scattered everywhere. Continue reading...
