I recently cleaned Megan’s house and blew her mind with a cleaning hack I’ve used for a very long time to get that so fresh, so clean scent to linger in the air. My secret weapon is a bottle of this laundry product and a vacuum that uses a bag. The rub here is that you must use a vacuum with a bag otherwise you might ruin your very expensive canister vacuum. Today, I’m sharing my 10 favorite cleaning tools you aren’t using but should! This post has been updated for 2021.
I feel like people might think I’m some sort of clean freak but I struggle with clutter and I let things go for way too long before handling it. Another go-to cleaning hack of mine for collecting clutter and redistributing it is a shallow laundry basket. I can clean sweep the downstairs in minutes!
