I'm not going to beat around the bush; I'm pretty into my hair. And I have a lot of it. And I have a lot of hair brushes. And my daughter Riley has a few hair brushes too. And my husband Chad has a couple of hair brushes. So...
The universe gave us toilets, and the Universe gave us trash cans (and seriously, thank heavens for both). Each are to be used responsibly or else the Universe gets mad (clogs and global warming, respectively). That said, I want to explain 10 really, truly, awful things that you may...
Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of hand sanitizer because I much prefer good old fashioned handwashing with soap and water. I feel it's cleaner, I can't explain it, but I do. However, at times, I can't access 'old reliable' and hope to goodness I don't accidentally touch my face or...
You've seen the commercials. You know the products. We're told our homes are a veritable hotbed for all germs, spores, bacteria, mold, and mildew. It's quite miraculous that we aren't all battling plague 24/7. Ok, sarcasm aside, I think we're being a little oversold on the whole notion of...
Grunge was cool in the 90s, not in your shower. Just sayin'. If you have a shower, there's a really good chance you have a shower mat and shower curtain liner. And, there's a super good chance that you haven't washed them lately (or ever)!
Why They Get So Grungy
These...
How appropriate a blog topic. Let me break down what this past week has been like for us here at Clean My Space headquarters...
On Monday morning, Chad woke up with a bad cold and because Chad is a giant baby, he proceeded to spend the next 2 days in bed...
If you've been experiencing a blockage, and I don't mean the kind that requires more fibre in your diet, consider cleaning your shower head to improve water flow and give you a better shower experience.
Basically, a shower head (like mine, pictured in this post), is constantly spouting water out,...
Borax. Why don’t you have any yet?
Most people have no idea about how wonderful this little box of cleaning joy is. Borax is made with water, oxygen, boron, and sodium—simple stuff that's been known to man for more than 4000 years, and used for cleaning with borax has been going on for...
One of the most common questions I get asked is how to clean a shower properly.
This is definitely one of the jobs that seems harder than it is. If you have the right tools, products, and technique, and do it regularly, you will be in good shape. If your shower...
I consider our bathroom cleaning video to be essential viewing, if you want to know how to clean your tub, toilet, sink, counters, tiles, and even the floor.
But I hate to tell you—those aren't even the nastiest parts of the bathroom. So now we're back to tackle those things—the ones that you might...
Since I've been cleaning on a professional level, I have had a love affair with OxiClean. It just works! You put it in your laundry and your laundry comes out stain free. But, did you know that you can use OxiClean around the house to tackle other cleaning tasks?...
The way a house smells when you first step in, might seem unimportant, but I can assure you it is anything but. Our sense of smell is connected to our emotions and that's powerful in and of itself. Smells can elicit emotional responses such as being happy, relaxed and...

Bathrooms are such a hot topic with our community.
I don't know many people that love cleaning bathrooms, and I'd have to say I don't really like the job myself (although it's vacuuming I dislike doing the most). So, because of this, I have devised a strategy that helps me...
You've likely seen the commercials with that sassy English lady speaking in a very classy manner about the unsavory topic of bathroom duties...err..dooties (with plenty of poop jokes to go around). The stuff works, no question about it. But rather than spending your hard earned money on something you'll...
I have long touted the benefits of cleaning with vinegar. Most of us know it's a great cleaning product, and even though it makes us wrinkle our noses, it works! So, it's hard to argue (and it's super cheap). Put on your adulting pants and get over the smell—and...
