Steam Cleaners UNITE
Shared this morning on insta insta about how I go into a CLEANING FRENZYYY when I am frustrated or stressed. Lot’s of y’all are backing me up. Steam cleaners, UNITE!!!!
Whizzing around the house, blowing off steam, and hoping that no one gets between you and the sticky stuff on the counter because I AM COMIN’ FOR YA, CRUD.
Some people want to sit when they are frustrated or need to unwind : watch a good show or indulge in a sweet treat. Sometimes, and with the right company, that’s me too. But usually… I wanna move.
Cleaning can be so therapeutic if you can get in a rhythm. And best part is, I am blowin’ off steam in productivity instead of blowin’ it towards anyone. I don’t ever want to scald my little love’s (or my big love) with steam that really should just require an attitude change. But a quickie little “steam clean,” as I like to call it, can give my heart and body the time and space that it needs to reboot and reset and sometimes that is JUST what I need.
From this morning’s insta in case ya missed it…
“It’s not always rainbows + butterflies, people. I always have a hard time sharing tough parts of life (my bad attitudes, the kids being extra whiny, Christian being away studying a ton, etc) on here. It’s truly not that I don’t want to expose those things or act like we have it all together (anyone close to me knows WE DON’T 🤪). I think I just have a hard time because, when it comes down to it, it feels like complaining and I know that it takes an attitude change in my heart. That’s really the only way to solve the problem. I’m extra sensitive to the kid’s whining when I’m whining myself.. 🙊 Anyway, I truly don’t want to keep these struggles private - I want to do better at bringing them into community and leveling with y’all. Just as long as we have the underlying understanding that we all know that, if we are willing to stop and acknowledge TRUTH, we are all so blessed, we have more than we need, a bad mood can easily be replaced by choosing joy, and it’s ok to need a minute.
I’m a steam cleaner. What I mean by that is when I need to blow off steam, I clean! 😂 That’s what I found myself doing this morning. Hahahaha That’s when you know I just need a little peace and quiet.”
A few of my favie cleaners + the ones yall suggested earlier on instagram stories are linked below or you can see the list here - just click Clean, Clean, Clean!
Here are my cleaning FAVS as well as the most popular ones that were dropped into the question box earlier today! Lots and lots of Meyers and Thieves lovers! If you are buying Thieves, definitely find someone local who is selling - don’t buy Amazon! (I would go with @katekrenk!)
I, personally, am super excited about trying out the Spadilla products that I linked below (the purple, orange, and green)! The scents sounds amazinggggggg. Drop a comment if you know anything about those!
MY FAV HACK - USE THE BURP CLOTHS AS DISH RAGS PEOPLE. I actually asked my mom to grab these for me for Christmas and I have NEVER LOOKED BACK! They are sooooo soft, AMAZING at drying dishes, have texture so they are GREAT against grime, AND you can bleach them! WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN! I am never looking back.
Best cleaning product award goes to THE STEAM MOP!!!!!!!! If you don’t have one, you need one. I got one because I saw someone on instagram raving about it and the hype is real. It’s magical. And if you have one, you need the Eucalyptus Mint Water to steam with. Makes your house smells subtly the freshest ever if that’s possible.
Oooook, that’s all for my cleaning rant. I hope this was helpful for you at least a little bit. Happy steam cleaning, people! :)
