Over the years I have purchased and used many household cleaners. Some I like very much, some not so much. The things I look for in a good cleaner are pretty simple. It must do the job well, without much difficulty, it must smell good, and it can’t be expensive. As I said, there… Continue reading Cleaning the Simple Way
Once again, September is just around the corner. As my favorite season is about to begin, there’s lots to do around the house.

Depending on the number of… Continue reading Time for School Clean-out!
