How I clean the floors »

I’ve added a new Amazon box to the right there. I want to tell you this little steam mop has really made a difference in my life! Really!

Steam is a great way to clean. In my house there are a lot of hardwood floors. And I am not exagerating when I say there are a lot. My concern was how to keep them clean. It seems every house we move into the floors never seem to get clean.

About 8 months ago I purchased the Bissell Steam Mop. There is no going back for me. All you do is put tap water in it and away you go. Now you may have seen the demonstrations on HSN and thought, no it can’t possibly clean like that. Well I am here to tell you, yes, it does clean just like they show it to clean.

There are no chemicals, you gotta love that. It heats up in less than 30 seconds. The amount of steam that it puts out is unbelievable!

If you are looking for a natural way to keep your floors clean you have to purchase one of these steam mops. I can’t sing their praises loud enough.

Do you have one? Let me know what you think!

The Great Green Revolution at the Mega Mart »

On my visit to the local mega mart this past week, I couldn’t help but notice how everything was turning “green”. I had noticed before I even left that the flyer for that week had contained 6 pages of green products. That impressed me, so I decided to have a closer look.

While I was roaming the isles I noticed the new cleaning product, Green Works by Clorox, sitting proudly next to the traditional cleaners. They also have started offering more Seventh Generation products as well. Remember the good ole days when we had to go to the health food store to find these?

Other traditional lines are starting to offer green products as well. There are now Dishwasher cleaning products that are toted as less harmful to the environment. And new hand dish washing liquids with natural ingredients as well. Laundry detergents offer perfume and dye free options, and I even noticed one with baking soda.

These are great products that I saw at a glance, I didn’t take the time to read the labels to all the products. But this is a must if you are going to be purchasing. I did read the Green Works label and was impressed that I could identify every ingredient that was listed.

Remember even if it says that it is environmentally friendly you need to read the label. Check those ingredients and be sure that you aren’t being pulled into what is becoming a popular trend. Having a bottle on your counter that says you are green is great, actually using all natural products may be a bit different.
