Hey everyone,
Today I wanted to take you behind the scenes of what a full cleaning day looks like in my home. Sometimes, we see the end result—a spotless kitchen or a shiny floor—but don’t always realize how much effort and love goes into keeping a home clean, fresh, and welcoming. For me, cleaning isn’t just a chore—it’s a form of self-care, a workout, and honestly, a little therapy session rolled into one!
I started on the first floor, which includes the kitchen, foyer, dining room, and a few other spaces that tend to collect dust and clutter throughout the week. I took my time sweeping every corner, mopping the floors until they gleamed, and wiping down all the surfaces. It might sound routine, but there’s something so satisfying about seeing everything sparkle when you're done. Not only does this routine keep my house in order, but it also helps me stay active. Think of it as burning calories and clearing mental clutter at the same time!
Let me share the lineup of cleaning products that really make the magic happen in my space:
-
Hardwood Floor Cleaner: I use it lightly because overusing anything on hardwood can damage the finish. A little goes a long way!
-
Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner: Perfect for my kitchen appliances. Leaves them looking brand new.
-
Quartz & Natural Stone Cleaner: Ideal for countertops. Keeps them clean without dulling the shine.
-
Orange Glow for Wood: Not only does it nourish wooden furniture, but it also leaves the room smelling heavenly.
-
Sprayway Glass Cleaner: This was actually recommended to me by an interior designer, and I haven’t looked back since. It gets the mirrors and glass surfaces crystal clear.
-
Microfiber Cloths: I swear by these. They’re gentle yet effective, and they don’t leave any streaks or residue.
-
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day (Snowdrop scent): I use this on cabinets and furniture. It has a clean, fresh smell that isn’t overwhelming—just the right touch of elegance.
Now let me tell you one of my favorite little tricks to keep the house smelling amazing all day long: I pour a bit of Fabuloso scented cleaner into a slow cooker, add some water, and let it simmer on low. The fragrance slowly drifts through every room, creating that just-cleaned, fresh-home vibe that everyone loves.
And speaking of scents—yes, I do have a candle that costs $500. I know that might sound a little crazy, but hear me out: it’s worth every penny. The scent is luxurious, strong enough to travel through the entire house from the bottom floor all the way up, and it creates a calming, high-end atmosphere. I don’t burn it every day—only when I have company or want to treat myself. It's like a little secret weapon in my home fragrance routine.
They say a woman’s work is never done, and honestly, it’s true. But taking care of my space brings me joy. I love creating a clean, welcoming environment not only for myself but for everyone who walks through the door. I hope some of these tips and favorite products help you as much as they’ve helped me.
Until next time—happy cleaning, y’all!
