Cleaning with Swiffer

Remember how we installed new flooring earlier this year?  In short, we are loving it!  However, going from a house that was 90% carpeted {10% linoleum} to 90% laminate floors {& still 10% linoleum} was a big difference in many ways, the main one being the way we cleaned.

Before, we could simply drag out the vacuum once ever week or two and do a clean sweep of the whole house.  I chalk this up to the fact that we practiced the "out of site, out of mind" mindset when it came to dirt, dust & dog hair.  But now, not only do we vacuum once a week, but we also find ourselves reaching for our Swiffer Sweeper Mop for a quick mid-week clean most weeks because we no longer have the carpet to hide aforementioned.

So since our change in flooring, I have been scouring the internet for reviews & advice on the easiest & quickest cleaning products and time & time again I am brought back to the Swiffer brand.  And one of the favorites for speedy clean ups is the Swiffer Wet Jet Starter Kit.

Not only does it clean up quickly, but it is also much easier than pulling out a mop & bucket.  And now, through August 31st, you too can purchase a Swiffer Wet Jet Starter Kit {or any one of the many products} from the new P&G eStore for 10% off, plus free shipping over $25!  P&G currently have their eStore stocked with lots Olympic-themed bundles and deals right now as one of the big Olympic sponsors.

Do you have hardwood or laminate floors?  If so, what do you use to keep them clean?


While I will earn a commission on any sales (both from the Swiffer Wet Jet and any others on the P&G eStore) from readers who purchase product through the link above, all opinions expressed here are my own.

#photoadayaug Week 1

Well, July didn't end on such a good note for us, but August is looking up as of right now {at least that's what we're choosing to believe}.  In other news, we had record breaking weather this weekend and I'm looking forward to more of that before summer comes to an end.

+ Day 4 - somewhere I sat {under the fan because it's over 100* outside}

The last 9+ days of July have been full of every emotion in the book - happiness, excitement, joy to angry, frustrated, sadness.  If you follow my Twitter feed or are a friend on Facebook, you might know we received some devastating news for our precious baby last week.  If you're of the praying kind, please say a prayer for our little one & us through this hardship we are facing.

+ Day 23 - mirror
+ Day 24 - a stranger {our unborn baby}
+ Day 25 - heart {mine is broken due to some horrible news we received about our sweet baby}
+ Day 26 - sunshine {the only way I'm seeing it today}
